The British Grenadier

So here it is, the third and final day of GRENFEST XV. Open from midday all day, live music from the East Coast Trio from 2pm and, to mark the day, 10p from every pint sold goes to charity.

It's Grenfest Eve! Our 15th festival opens tomorrow at noon. Ales, ciders, and perries galore and we've got some festival food to help soak up the pints. And we've got the East Coast Trio, who are ready to provide the soundtrack to your Sunday afternoon at Grenfest.
We'll see you at the bar. x

Bruce approves of today's selection

£1 coin amnesty. Bring them in people - PLEASE!

If you have been before you know what's what but if you haven't here is your chance to rectify that. Real Ales, Ciders and Perries Festival Food available all sessions. The East Coast Trio playing live on Sunday afternoon. See you at the bar.

Come and get it peeps!

Fresh on - a lovely Old from some brewery in Suffolk. ‘Adnams?’ We’ve never heard of them here at the Grennie, to be honest. #jokes

Meet Bruce, our new member of staff here at the Gren. While he looks absolutely adorable he is utterly useless at changing the Carlsberg or pouring a pint.

Unfortunately the Junkyard Smoke Bloke is unable to be here tonight due to an electrical fault on the truck. They sincerely apologise and will hopefully return in a fortnight.

Not every day the Batmobile pulls up outside......

For the first time in a Colchester pub, the region's newest brewery - Saeburh Brewery.

Evening all, just a quick reminder that the last Sunday quiz returns tomorrow with Guy as QM. Teams of 1-4, 50p per person. Starts around 8:30.

Not bad but certainly dangerous. 🍻

Pool and darts players wanted for forthcoming season. Message us if interested.

Now on: Wickwar’s ‘Bob’ (short for Kate) an easy drinking amber bitter. Get it quick before Captain Flashheart whisks it away. #ohyesIdid

Sorry folks, just heard that the Sanfranco pizza can’t make it this Friday! Normality will be restored next week.

Following on from tonight's success we are pleased to confirm that the fantastic Sanfranco pizza van will be with us again on Friday evening! 🍕🍻🍸😁

You spoke and we listened . Thanks to Redwood for the last six months but it's now time to move on. Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the Grennie's new official pizza partner for Wednesday night's - Sanfranco. Check out their site then come and give them a try. 🍕😁

Happy world Gin day ( Yes, it really is! ). Come celebrate with us a bag yourself a barGIN 🍸

very friendly pub. welcoming and warm..beers are superb and a great range of ciders to. Hats off to the landlord!

Traditional local with great beer, pool table, darts and jukebox; what more could you want!?

Real pub for real people - beer always top notch as is banter - never leave without a smile on your face

Proper pub. Proper real ale which is kept well. Big range of ciders and very large selection of gins. Dart board and pool table for those that way inclined. This is not a gastropub or a family pub but a proper old fashioned boozer.

Proper pub and great beer festivals �

Proper Pub! A real English Boozer. Definitely not for lager chavs.

OK. We like Simon and all the folks here. Great beer, an people.

Great pub, excellent ales, great landlord, excellent chat. What more could you want?

Great pub for real ales, gin, cider, darts, pool, duke box, beer garden and a very welcoming landlord.

Excellent selection of ale, gin, and cider. Good company and worth a visit from town centre and other parts. My second home and living room. Always my first point of call when I'm back for a visit.

One more day for the Granadier Real Ale festival. You won't be disappointed! !!🖒🖒🖒
