The Goat & Boot in Colchester

Oh, let me tell you about The Goat & Boot – it's one of those hidden gems that really hits the spot for a relaxed evening out. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the staff are the real stars; folks like Batu and Hayley go out of their way to make you feel at home with their friendly chats and efficient service, which is just what you want after a long day. The food sounds spot on too, with delicious options that pair perfectly with a clean pint, and the atmosphere is proper cosy, making it easy to settle in for a good natter. On the flip side, it's a shame there's no website to quickly look up the details, and with doors opening around midday, it might not suit those of us who fancy an early tipple. All in all, it's a solid choice for a local haunt, and I'd say it's worth a visit if you're in the area – just keep in mind those little niggles to manage your expectations.
