What Simon Brock doesn't like about Foresters Arms:

What a lovely pub with great staff. Although close to the town centre the location gives it the feel of a country pub. Great beer, TTaylor Landlord and fantastic Guinness, and we all had the Sunday roast, which was really good and nothing was too much trouble. Linda and Louise cooked up the cracking roast and drinks at the bar were served with a smile by Daryl. You've got to go there, you won't regret it, now my favo... View all feedback.

Really roomy and beautifully decorated pub with lots of natural light. Possibly the best chips I've had in my life. Friendly staff.

Discover a hidden gem in Colchester at this recently renovated pub, offering a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Despite some service hiccups for larger groups, the food is top-notch, with a deft touch in the kitchen and a great selection of drinks. Enjoy the delightful garden, friendly staff, and themed nights. Don't miss the sharing tiers and, if you're lucky, a visit from Becky at the bar for some amazing cocktails. This pub may have a few flaws, but the charming ambiance and delicious offerings make it a must-visit spot in town.
