Property details
The Foresters is a charming and well-presented pub, nestled in an elegant corner of Colchester, Essex. Ideally positioned at the meeting point of two of the borough’s most picturesque streets and adjacent to the delightful Castle Park, it enjoys a prime location just a short stroll from the renowned Colchester Castle Museum and the Firstsite Gallery of Visual Arts. Despite its tranquil setting, it remains only minutes from the bustling town centre and its extensive range of shops and amenities. Strong road and rail connections, including the A12 to London and nearby coastal towns such as Clacton. The Foresters extends a warm, traditional, and refined welcome to both locals and visitors alike.
The trading area at The Foresters is situated entirely on the ground floor in an open-plan layout. The bar faces the welcoming entrance and serves a well-appointed space featuring a variety of seating arrangements suitable for drinking, dining, and informal socialising. Directly behind the main bar is a fully equipped commercial kitchen, allowing for efficient food service. At the rear of the bar is the ground-floor cellar, which has been recently refurbished to a high standard.
At the front of the pub, there is space to accommodate up to four benches, providing a pleasant outdoor seating area. Although there is no dedicated parking, a public car park is conveniently located directly opposite.
The private accommodation is in very good order, which is a two-bedroom apartment housing its own kitchen, bathroom, and lounge.

Trading style
The Foresters is a well-regarded hostelry serving both residents and visitors to the area, including those visiting the Castle, Castle Park, the nearby four-star hotel, or the city centre shops. It enjoys an excellent reputation for real ales, holding Cask Marque accreditation, and is known for its good home-cooked food, although this has been somewhat limited in recent times. The current licensees are retiring, presenting an opportunity to develop the business further, potentially through extended opening hours and an expanded food offering.
This is an established and well-managed pub, but a new licensee could bring fresh energy and momentum to the local community, as well as broaden the food offering, an enhancement that would be warmly welcomed by both locals and visitors alike. The pub retains a genuine village atmosphere while benefiting from a superb and attractive central location.
