About The Centurion

The Centurion is a pub in Colchester at 66 North Hill, at the top of the street just off the junction of Head Street and High Street. The bar pours craft beer and cider alongside small-batch gins, with handmade spirit infusions and cocktails. The weekly line-up includes retro gaming nights, speed quizzing and clash of cans nights, and a pool table sits on site. Football and other sport play on big screens. Guests order and pay by QR code or app using the number at their table. The food menu includes a pizza cone and a burger-and-drink meal deal, and bottomless brunch runs for large group parties too. Dogs are welcome.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often return to the bottomless brunch, with several describing a lively party table and a server who kept drinks coming, and food they call good and tasty. Close behind is the football on the big screens, which one reviewer found a little loud but still enjoyable alongside a meal. Diners also mention a burger and drink meal deal, a pizza cone with chips and cheese, and ordering at the table through a QR code. Staff are repeatedly called friendly and helpful, including one who handled the key to the disabled toilet for a guest recovering from knee surgery. The main caveat is cost: a few call the food a bit expensive and the drinks pricey, and one warns the two for one cocktails are two of the same drink rather than a free choice. Another notes the toilets are upstairs, which could be a problem for anyone with mobility issues. Reviewers also mention a pool table and a dog friendly welcome, and one praises the refurbished look.

    “Visited with family. Staff was very helpfull considering we needed wheelchair acess, food was great, a bit expensive but well worth it. The cocktails however the 2 for 1 ... dont get fooled are two of the same not pick and choose. Overall we had a great experience.”
  • Tony C
    “Went here for a meal with a friend that had travelled locally so this was an ideal spot to meet midway. There was a football match on, which was popular with the regulars so was a little loud at points, but did not stop us enjoying our meal. We were put in a window booth away from the main bar, so allowed us more privacy and a quieter area to chat and catch up. The food and service was great. Ordered at the table. Food was fresh and tasty. Great varied menu. Arrived hot and was delicious. Would defo go again.”
