About this Pub
Why it's great for Matchdays
The Dog & Pheasant is a recommended pre-match stop for away supporters heading to Colchester United, sitting about three-quarters of a mile (around a 10-minute walk) from the JobServe Community Stadium. It shows live football via Sky Sports and TNT Sports on big screens, creating a matchday atmosphere for build-up and post-game analysis. The pub also serves a full food menu, useful for a pre-game meal. Together, its proximity, televised football, and food offering make it a practical away-fan base on matchdays.

First time here and we were made to feel very welcome by all the staff who were very friendly and attentive, despite how busy they were. Good selection of drinks available and the food was nice. It didn't take long to arrive and was a reasonable price. Thanks for a good meal, we'd definitely come back!
We visit the Dog and Pheasant regularly, and it is a fantastic place for a quiet drink, a lovely dinner or to spend a summer afternoon in their sunny beer garden. This weekend we held our baby shower here, and the whole team were so attentive, and the entire place and atmosphere was perfect for our party. Plus the food was delicious as always. One of the other reasons we booked here was for the brilliant play area outside for kids, which kept all of our little ones entertained for a few hours! Thank you to the full team for being fantastic, as always!!
The Dog and Pheasant became an accidental regular for myself and my autistic child, who decided this is where we'd go after school. The staff have all been amazing, every time, completely understanding that they'd be a bit noisy and a handful. We love coming in and getting a kids mean (for them) and a plate of chicken wings for me. The pub is clean and nice. A lot of sports on TVs if you need that and a decent little play and grass area out back for the kids (and a covered, seated area for the hot summer days - including a couple of big TVs with sports). Throughout the entire time we've been visiting, the staff have been the absolute BEST. They've been more understanding than I could have ever asked, always so friendly and always make us happy to be here. This is a family pub. With family food (and a fairly decent few beers on tap) and a family atmosphere.
A modern and cosy experience for anyone wanting a good space for gatherings and celebrations in Colchester! The buffet was yummy and a delicious selection too! We highly recommend dining here. The atmosphere, the food, the drinks—everything was spot on 🫶
New menu, hot honey bbq pulled pork beef burger was amazing served by Pete, will definitely be back
