| I've lived in Colchester all my life but for one reason or another never ventured over the Rowhedge for a pint. I was invited along to the Albion last week. What a little gem it is. There were 4 good ales on tap and the staff were very welcoming. Very traditional interior with some people quietly playing chess in the corner and some piped music at times. There's a beer garden accross the road right on the River Colne with some great views. Well worth a visit. beerbarber - 25 Oct 2010 13:34 |

| Very well kept ales and good place to sink a few. Just wish they sold sarnies as well. But you can't have it all can you? ale_guzzler - 6 Sep 2009 21:02 |
| Darkstar Old Chestnut, Nethergate Dr John�s Panacea, Roosters Elderflower, I feel sure there were more pumps (4or5 in total?) but that�s all I noted (well, this was the 9th pub). Comfortable woody interior, chairs, settles, barrel topped tables nr bar with barstools. Wood-burning stove near entrance, no it wasn�t on. Good dartboard with, unusually, sensibly placed chalkboard � sorry Td, don�t know how we managed to allow friction to enter the game. Welcoming guv was a good craic, as were the handful of locals at the bar, I heard that there will be a �fest next week (10-12Jul, Rowhedge Regatta on Sat, so expect it to be busy) with 9 at a time rotating through the bar, very tempting. It has a nice aspect over the Colne and, as LGA says, the 66A (every 30mins) will whisk you here in just 10mins from outside the British Grenadier, and take you all the way back to Colchester North if you�ve finished your tour, as we had (or, more accurately, the tour had finished US!). trainman - 5 Jul 2009 15:22 |
