About * Victoria Inn Colchester

Landlady and landlord Sheena and Andrew, who hail from Yorkshire, reopened the Victoria Inn in December 2010 and have cultivated a traditional friendly pub atmosphere, so although you will not find either Sky TV or pool tables, you will encounter cheerful welcoming staff and friendly chatty locals.

A recent article, by Martin Newell, in the East Anglian Daily Times said

"In this day and age it was rather a novel idea, get a pub and then try to reinvent it – as a pub. Regular clientele, sensible music and so on. No thunderous disco, no plastic menus on the table, no cheap deals on electric blue vodka-based drinks and no men on the door sporting bomber jackets and earpieces. Situated well down North Station Road, The Victoria isn’t, strictly speaking, a town centre pub, although it’s on a bus route and only five minutes from North Station. “When you go in there, ” Terry, one of their regulars told me, “there’s a sign just opposite the fireplace – it reads `Be nice or leave’- which says it all for me.”
