You need to head round to the back of the house to peruse the choices here. It's well worth it - 5 decent ales and some top-notch keg offerings. Lager drinkers are challenged with Flensburger and Victoria Málaga. Service is excellent in this justifiably busy pub.

Don't rush for your train (the station's around 5 minutes away, though the road crossings are a challenge) - The Victoria is worth a longer visit than you planned.

Now this was the pub I'd been waiting for all day, after finding nowhere else to match the Spoons! A vivacious atmosphere, warm (not many pubs in Colch were..), friendly staff and cracking beer; five cask on plus boxed ciders, 2x Colchester ales with guests from Crouch Vale, Buxton and Brew York, I had the latter’s Fairy Tale and it really was, an easy GBG quality of the highest order (NBSS 4.5). Wraparound interior with three areas, maybe the only minor gripe is that the rear bar area is a bit over-bright – looks like a very recent refurb. Pretty close to the station and if I’m on the train line again I’d make a point of hopping off and getting a pint here. 8.5

A long established ale house in a square building not far from the station but before the steep clim into the old town.
There is an island bar and seating areas dotted about with rather garish wall paper ,and looking a little worn.Initially there are no handpumps in sight so go around to the rear where the handpumps lurk with high tables opposite.The friendly barman explained there is soon to be a change of hands so things may alter.
On my visit the ale selection was Kent Cobnut,Colchester Metropole and Ambassador,Crouch Vale Amarillo Mosaic and a very good Bristol Beer Factory Milk Stout (NBSS 4).
The pub opening times have been shortened midweek to a 2pm opening beware.In the 2022 GBG and well worth a visit,I hope the change of hasnds doesn't change the boozer vibe in here.
