Reviews of The British Grenadier

Good selection of well kept ales and ciders, plus a large selection of spirits, particularly unusual gins and whiskies. Usually fairly quiet on Wednesday evenings. It is only small and certainly not fancy but a friendly neighbourhood pub. It is one of the few still to have a poolroom. There is also a large outside courtyard with seating. Friendly bar staff, though I may be biased as he is my grandson. Nearly forgot that there is a jukebox playing very quietly in the background, not interfering with talking or reading the paper. Also shelves of books to borrow in the corridor leading to the loos and courtyard. Sorry Simon, forgot to mention the friendly landlord 😊

Great real ales pub with good selection of ales, ciders and perry. Deco need updating, but if you can see past the deco, its great little local pub. It is also on the good beer guide for Colchester. Lovely staffs and it's what you called Local pub with character.

A classic, local pub that focuses more on the beers and the craic than any other fad marketing wiff waff (!) The management are remarkably down to earth and would rather talk your ear off about beer than talk your ear off about payment, rules or regs. Pool table out back you can challenge the landlord to, if you're good enough...

Fabulous traditional old style proper real ale pub. Different beers every week and usually enough variety to suit all tastes. Good gin selection and Simon is an Iron Maiden fan. Plus the decorations of pump cards all over the walls means you can spend hours looking at all the different beers they've had on over the years.
