About This Pub

Ah, Camulodunum in Colchester – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper local gem, you know? Tucked away on the High Street, it's part of the Greene King bunch but manages to have that warm, inviting atmosphere where you can pop in for a pint and end up staying for hours. The team there are absolute legends; they're so friendly and attentive, always making sure your glass is topped up and you're having a good time, whether it's for a quick lunch or a big event. Speaking of food, they've got some cracking options like that Steak and Ale Pie – it's all rich, flavoursome goodness that hits the spot after a long day. And with cheap beers and student deals, it's brilliant if you're watching the pennies or gearing up for a night out. They're spot on for entertainment too, with live sports, karaoke, and other gigs that really get the place buzzing. On the downside, the menu's your typical pub stuff, so it won't wow you with anything fancy, and it can get a bit lively and noisy, which might not suit if you're after a peaceful chat. All in all, though, it's a solid spot for a laugh and a bite – I'd say give it a go if you're in the area, you won't be disappointed!

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and go above and beyond to make you feel welcome, always up for a chat or a laugh behind the bar.
  • The food is spot on – think hearty dishes like the Steak and Ale Pie with merlot gravy and mash, perfect for a satisfying lunch or dinner.
  • Cheap beer and fantastic student offers make it a budget-friendly spot for a night out without breaking the bank.
  • It's got a great vibe for events, with live sports screenings, karaoke, and even things like line dancing, keeping things lively and fun.
  • Family-friendly setup with disabled facilities and a spacious layout, so it's easy for everyone to enjoy a relaxed visit.
Cons
  • The menu is pretty standard Greene King fare, so if you're after something a bit more unique or adventurous, it might feel a tad ordinary.
  • It can get quite noisy in parts, especially during events, so if you're hoping for a quiet catch-up, you might need to find a spot near the front.
  • Food service wraps up early on Sundays, which could cut short your plans if you're out for a late meal.

Handy for the bus. Good food with a friendly atmosphere. It is quieter if you sit near the front entrance. The usual Greene King menu but cooked and served well.
