Only been here a couple of times but always a good atmosphere, great selection of drinks but not tried the food yet.
Carl Blair
Popped in for the lunch deal (£10 for a meal and soft drink), ordered the Club Sandwich… it was tiny and the chicken was chopped up into a mulch. Effectively paid £8 for a mini sandwich with some salad leaves, not exactly value for money.
Christen Avent
Had a fab time at karaoke on Saturday! Would definitely recommend popping in if you're looking for decently priced drinks and a laugh!
Josh Reynolds
Had an absolute blast at the quiz night. Luke made the evening unforgettable with his hospitality and charisma. Will definitely be back same time next week.Quiztina aguilera (2nd place).

Pleasant environment with excellent and helpful staff. Beers can be pricey these days but an excellent range of craft beers. Nice pint of neck oil (Beavertown) too. Enjoy.

Great free quiz nights on Tuesday’s and really friendly staff, best of all it’s dog friendly. Would thoroughly recommend a visit.

Was a whistle stop visit after a day of Christmas shopping. Only had a drink and then we were off. Not much time to get a feel for the place. However, quite a few people eating around 4pm and most seemed to visit regularly.
Service was impecable, food was outstanding and loved the atmosphere. Would definitely return.

The kings arms colchester is a lovely pub we have been going here for years. It has a great pub quiz every tuesday and music bingo every Thursday. The staff are friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend.Kid-friendliness: They are family friendly pub.

Food here was unbelievably rubbish. It was never fancy, but it always was decent and good portion size. The meal we just had was shocking. Everything seemed like it had been cooked about two weeks ago. I’ve never seen such a stingy portion of peas. Two pathetic little undercooked onion rings were just offensive. If someone’s got a gun to your head and is forcing you to eat here, the least bad option was scampi.

Thank you so much for making our Christmas Day lunch at the Kings Arms just as we wanted it to be. Everything was perfect from the atmosphere, food and service all through the afternoon. Well done everyone involved!!

Initially, I felt excitement and tension approaching the venue. This is a venue I’ve used before so I already held a certain respect and anticipation for what was to come.I was, at first, feeling mixed emotions between satisfaction and utter disbelief, but the dinner (pre booked Christmas meal with 4+week notice) was almost exceptionally bad. An absolute overhaul of carrots (which were delicious by the way) but not much else.We suffered from an absolute limitation on potatoes, Yorkshires and Stuffing, so incredibly so, that between us as a work force, we were unable to enjoy a single Yorkshire, or serving of Stuffing between us.Venue was fine, service was spot on, but food was almost comparable to a food bank.For £6.20 a beer, and nearly £100 for a couple of Christmas meals, I expected better, and in all honesty have been a little bemused by the sub standard of food.SD.
