The Ale House on Butt Road is the newest addition to the Colchester Real Ale Pub scene. Formerly 'The Dragoon' the pub was sold by Adnams to, landlords of The Bricklayer's, Fred and Hazel. A lengthy refurbishment has followed but we're very pleased to see it re-open. The Ale House completes a 'real ale triangle' north of Southway - with The Fat Cat opposite and The New Inn on South Street.
