The old Adnams pub The Dragoon is back in the hands of Fred and Hazel, and as The Ale House, it's another top quality real ale pub for Colchester!

The Farmhouse Inn, Monk Street, nr Thaxted
The Farmhouse Inn is tucked away to the side of the B184 just south of Thaxted. It's a lovely old building, serving great real ale, and great food. We dropped in for a quick lunch, and were pleased to see Mighty Oak's 'Maldon Gold' and 'Two Hoots' on offer alongside Greene King IPA.

The Prince of Wales, Stow Maries
After some antiques hunting in Battlesbridge, we headed back home via The Prince of Wales at Stow Maries for a great lunch - definitely one to head for if you're in the area. And if you're not in the area, head there anyway!

The White Horse Inn at Edwardstone

However, in recent months blackboards outside the pub have been proclaiming 'Six Real Ales!'.

We ended up spending a lot more time there than planned, and had a great, if light, lunch at The Barge Inn. The Barge Inn is a lovely old pub, very nicely presented inside. Whilst [...]

Grays : The White Hart and The Theobald Arms
A rare work visit to Grays this morning gave me the chance to pop in to a couple of their highly-regarded CAMRA Good Beer Guide listed pubs. My plan to visit all pubs listed in the Colchester and NE Essex Good Beer Guide appears to have broadened its scope… Within a 100 yards of each [...]

The Lamarsh Lion
The Lamarsh Lion is in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide, noted for its beamed interior, and its view over the Stour Valley. It was originally a boar lodge called Brownings, and became an inn in 1305. Well, it was a misty day today, so the view wasn’t the greatest, but the pub, the beer and [...]
