Spacious cosy and comfortable micropub-ish venue, soft lighting and dark colours adding to the mysterious and gothic atmosphere made for a pleasant stay. Just one other group in the raised area at the rear of the pub.

Very busy but we got a seat in the raised area at the back. I liked the red plaster and bare-brick feel to the place.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Colchester - Metropolis | 3.90 | | Pale gold. Bready. Slightly metallic. Mottled lime. Lime rind finish. |
| Fat Cat - Unthank Bitter | 4.00 | | Golden brown. Rich. Like drinking something a 19th Century Bishop was keep in his cellar. Spicy. Nutmeg. Syrupy. |
