About this Pub
Why it's great for Matchdays
Walkabout Colchester positions itself as the home of live sport, showing football throughout the season on massive HD screens with TNT Sports, and even lets you book seats against specific fixtures—useful for early kick-offs or big games. Food is served until 9pm, including matchday-friendly plates and sharers, so groups can eat and watch without leaving their table. The venue explicitly invites both home and away supporters as a pre-game pit stop, making it a practical neutral option for fans heading to the match or staying in town to watch. Overall, it combines guaranteed TV coverage, the ability to reserve for key fixtures, and all-day food service that suits match timings.

I took the wife here for the bottomless brunch at £30 each and wasn't disappointed Chad our server was bang on it with the food and drinks we didn't have an empty glass for the full 90 minutes top marks to him.....it's a sports bar so had the pleasure of watching my team West Ham winning 3-0 and still get relegated 😞 the staff here are great food is good and the beers and cocktails excellent deffo will be back.
I popped in to catch the match, and the atmosphere was absolutely buzzing. It’s easily one of the best spots in town to watch sports. Shout-out to Alan, who really made the afternoon. Even with the bar being packed, they were incredibly sharp, friendly, and didn't leave us waiting for a pint once. Cheers!
The best pub in Colchester (shh, don’t tell everyone!) Your local in the city centre. Friendly, fun and upbeat staff, all the screens you could ever dream of, epic selection of retro football shirts on the wall 🏆
Really enjoyed the Bottomless Brunch, great cocktails and good value for money. Super service, drinks regularly refilled. A clean and fresh venue.
Walkabout has a good atmosphere, chilled fun vibes. All the staff are friendly especially the Manager Jonhy, his always been very welcoming and helpful to me, and many other customers. The drinks are fairly priced and the food is good. The toilets are clean compared to most alcoholic drinking establishments, also the music is good here, a mixture of genres so something for everyone. Overall good experience.
