There s no shortage of brilliant pubs in north Essex to choose from. We asked what restaurants, pubs and bars you guys had missed most during lockdown. And we had lots of suggestions - here is what you said. All these pubs are open subject to Covid-19 rules, please check if you need to book before visiting
The Cricketers, Spring Lane, Eight Ash Green The pub is located in the quiet village of Eight Ash Green, just on the outskirts of Colchester. Liz Adams described it as a fantastic pub and restaurant . She said: It’s a lovely pub, the food is always top quality and they’re still keeping going under these circumstances we’re in.
From Monday, venues can reopen providing they have an outdoor area at the premises. Diners will be able to meet in a group of up to six people from different households, while a maximum of two households can meet to form a group of any size. Sadly, not all of our favourites will be able to reopen, but many will be welcoming back customers for the first time since the third national lockdown was introduced in January. There s still plenty of choice if you re looking to meet some friends or family - just make sure you book first.
Here are all the places in Colchester reopening this week:
