About this menu

The Rovers Tye is a pub in Colchester serving grilled meats, burgers and pub classics, with smaller plates and sides alongside. The menu opens with picky bits and flamin sharers, then moves to the flamin grill, home to the mixed grill skillet, and on to the classics, where beef lasagne sits. Burgers include the flame-grilled beef burger, flatbreads follow, and eyes on the side covers extras like onion rings. Starters, desserts and more classics and sides are listed too, with brownie skewers among the sweet dishes.

For smaller appetites, the starters, picky bits and flatbreads make a straightforward order, and onion rings can be added from the sides. Anyone after a fuller meal can head to the flamin grill, the burgers or the classics. Vegan nachos are listed among the picky bits, so vegan diners have somewhere to begin, and the dessert sections finish things off for anyone with room.
