The Hospital Arms, Colchester

Went to this pub for the first time in two years with a group of friends in a scepticle mood after last time (2 years ago was a total disaster, bad vibes from surly bar staff and the beer wasn't much better!). We were meant to be on a crawl but ended up staying all night, really good atmosphere, the staff (and landlord and landlady) were cheerful and efficient and happy to talk to you, the beer especially the Adnams Yuletide was top notch (7 ales to choose from!) and the pub clean and tidy, add to this the smoking area outside and you have a first rate pub with first rate staff, it's definately worth a look. I for one will definately be returning!
