The best landlady & landlord I've ever known, lovely friendly staff and great food. Everybody makes you feel welcome and comfortable. Great atmosphere, highly recommend.
Fast becoming my local on a Friday lunchtime... their large choice of bitters, ales and lager on tap plus the highly recommended all-day- breakfast is second to none!
Lives up to its name as the Cosiest Pub on the Quay, great home cooked food, brilliant landlord, landlady and bar staff and a great bunch of people who drink in there.
What an absolute gem of a pub. Rod the landlord is a fantastic host and all of his bar staff are super friendly and helpful. But the hidden secret to this pub is the fantastic food that comes out of the kitchen, reasonably priced and excellent quality. Thanks so much guys. The solar boys 🙂
Lovely pub with a welcoming atmosphere, can’t wait to go back!
Without a doubt the best pub meal I have had in the past 5 years. Roast Brisket was amazing. I'm from Manchester and have been working here for 2 days. Traditional home cooked food 10 out of 10.
What a fantastic find. It's a small bit very friendly place. Gorgeous food, great service. I would go out of my way to come here again, it was a pleasure being here. Thank you spinnaker!
Staff polite, premises clean. Choice of beers good. Small but varied menu, with specials board.
What a lovely traditional pub this Is. We only stopped by because it was instant monsoon season and we took shelter within. We were welcomed very warmly and was made soft drinks for the kids and a very nice cup of coffee for us. The place was very clean and the toilets amongst the cleanest I've seen for a very long time.
The staff and customers were very nice and would definitely recommend for a stop by if you're in the area.
Lovely bit of grub, relaxed atmosphere , mind your manners.
Had a great time, such a Friendly Pub. The three of us enjoyed our meals, I had a lovely home-made quiche which was Feta and Asparagus and the Men both had Liver and Bacon. We all had chips as they were recommended. They were great!
We were made very Welcome and it was lovely to see Rosie.
Definately going back Many Thanks 😊
Fantastic watering hole. Great staff and landlords and the customers are a friendly bunch.
Can't beat it for a hearty, home cooked meal at a reasonable price! Always a warm welcome too! 😊
Haven’t been here for years but popped in for a couple of pints and was pleasantly surprised what a nice pub it is. Everyone was friendly and it even served food which was an added bonus and good selection of food options. Definitely worth a visit
Place like many other's in UK.
Lovely local genuine English pub, definitely recommend, warm welcome and prices are amazing, keep up the great work!
Lovely local pub with a nice atmosphere.
Always pop in for some food when I’m up from London, simply because the food is delicious and so reasonably priced. Highly recommended!!
Lovely traditional pub with a very friendly atmosphere. Excellent home cooked food and very reasonably priced. Thoroughly enjoyed.
Great service, good drinks, and just like in the name, we had a cozy feeling!!
A lovely little pub very friendly behind the bar we sat up on the upper decking when I went to get another drink and brought down our glasses the lady behind the bar thanked us for bring the glasses down which was a very nice comment would recommend it for a quiet and relaxing drink
Decent little boozer, they came round with some complimentary spuds on a Sunday afternoon and I've not seen that done since the 80s. Nice little touch that even tho I'd just eaten lol.
I cannot rave enough about this pub. Superb food, lots of it, beer is kept really well and they have great choices including guest ales. One of the safest Covid environments in Colchester and just as a last thing - the landlord, landlady and all the staff are just excellent. If you want an old school pub, with old school hospitality look no further.
