The Wetherspoons in Colchester is The Playhouse at 4 St Johns Street, Colchester, Essex, CO2 7AA. The pub lists a phone number, shown on the card above alongside the full seven day hours.
The pub lists step-free access, baby changing, Wi-Fi and TV screens among its facilities, which is the kind of detail that varies pub to pub even though the menu does not. The name is local rather than corporate, which is normal for the chain and makes the pub easy to walk past. Colchester sits in Essex, and the county page lists every other town with a pub. The full pub finder covers the rest of the UK.
The menu here is the national one, so it matches every other Wetherspoons in the country. Breakfast covers the traditional breakfast at £5.19, and the main menu runs to freshly battered fish and chips at £12.09 and an 8 inch margherita at £6.31. Prices are set per pub, so treat these as the national reference rather than as Colchester's exact till price. See every dish and price.
The pub opens 8am - midnight on Mondays and 8am - midnight on Sundays. Breakfast runs from opening to a fixed morning cut off, and the kitchen serves through to the evening after that. The full seven day table is on the card above, and the opening times guide covers bank holidays.
This pub does not take table bookings, since Wetherspoons runs first come, first served everywhere. Groups do best arriving mid afternoon, between the lunch and evening peaks. Some pubs elsewhere hire out separate rooms, which is the nearest thing to a reservation the chain offers. More on the booking policy.
