2 N O R T H E S S E X REAL ALE PUB GUIDE This booklet has been produced by the Colchester & N.E. Essex branch of CAMRA as a guide to the pubs in our rural areas that serve real ale and to assist in visiting them. It complements our town pub guide that was launched in As the pubs are in other towns and the country, bus routes from Colchester are included. Please note that some of the bus routes are very limited and may involve a long walk from bus stop to pub. The information in the guide was correct at the time the pubs were surveyed, but this can change over time and the guide will be updated to reflect this. Visitors who wish to visit certain pubs can always ring them or check their website to find out if the details are still relevant. This may save disappointment if the pub has changed opening times or closed. Colchester & N.E. Essex branch of CAMRA has regular monthly meetings held in a pub in the branch area. We have a good social aspect which includes brewery visits, trips out to various pubs, cycling trips, walking trips and trips to pubs in other towns and cities and an active young members group. We also hold two beer festivals a year, one in January and one in June. Full details of the trips and beer festivals can be found on our website along with more information about the branch.
