The Princess Charlotte Pub Review!

I was lucky to be invited to a pre-opening of the Princess Charlotte Pub in Stanway Colchester last night.  We arrived at 6.30pm, and we were happy to venture inside, although its quite big, it felt really warm and welcoming, with its oak beams, and rustic feel it was really inviting.  We were greeted by some of the staff, And a big hello from the bar staff as we were led to our table, it was lovely to be seated by the window, where we could see the garden area.  Our waitress for the evening was introduced to us, and went onto explain the history of the McMullens brand, also how The Princess Charlotte is the only named pub in Britain, which was a lovely touch for me.

The menus were rather large, and full of delicious sounding dishes, from Chicken, Burgers, Steak, to Salads.  We asked for recommendations which we were given, so I opted for the 'yummmy' Duck wings, they were succulent and spicy,
Hubby and daughter went for the deep fried garlic mushrooms, which I also tasted they were lovely, tasty and plentiful. each dish was served with a small amount of salad.

My main was the Sirloin Steak served with mushrooms, fried tomato ,Sweet potato chips and peas. Im afraid maybe to some I prefer my steak medium to well done, (I know some may find this terrible! Sorry!) I've got to say it was cooked to perfection!
Hubby went for the double bacon, cheese Burger  served with chips and salad.  It was definitely plentiful and apparently delicious.

Now we usually only manage two courses so were slightly full by dessert but when we saw the menu, of course....There's always room for pudding!

I opted for the sticky toffee pudding, and I was Not disappointed it was amazing, rich hot caramel toffee sauce, with a moist pudding, and simple perfect consistancy custard served in a little jug, along side the pudding.

Hubby went for the honey comb cheesecake, which was also as delicious.
The ice cream sundaes were a hit with Louise and Lewis...

When we had a little venture to the little girls room, It was lovely to see the history of McMullens brewery shown on the walls up the stairs in sepia photos...

Then in the little girls room loved the old fashioned toilets, the decor and original style toilets...

Beautifully designed and decorated, loved the rustic tables and shimmering chandelier.

As you cans see by my pictures we had a fab evening, I'll be recommending Princess Charlotte to my friends, family and clients. The environment, Ambiance, service and food was 100%. We will be coming back.
