Highly recommend.Friendly staff. Clean and tidy. Food is amazing and great value for money.
Pete and Geraldine have done a great job with this place since they took over, quite a few years ago now. Extensive food menu, plenty of drinks on tap, as well as catering for some local brews, changed on a regular basis. Their beer and sausage or pie weekends are always a hit with locals and others from further afield. A la carte it's not but if you're after a good, honest and friendly local , give this a go.
Great place, fantastic beers friendly staff.
Brilliant friendly pub, we always try get down to the quiz nights 3rd Thursday of the month. Dog friendly aswell.
So delicious 🤤
Popped in with muddy dogs on a Sunday lunchtime, despite it being busy we were found a table quickly. The beer was well kept, food was tasty and generous portions, prices were reasonable. Best bit was the staff who were really friendly and accommodating. Lovely place.
Great little pub with friendly regulars. A proper character pub. Good selection of beers and ales. Highly recommend this pub!
Very friendly pub
I had a lovely Sunday roast lunch with my partner. Very tasty and excellent value.I often visit late on Friday afternoons, and there's always a buzzy, friendly atmosphere.
We came here for a Sunday carvery with quite high expectations as this pub was rated in the top 10 of pubs in Colchester for a Sunday roast, but we were a pretty disappointed to be honest, the portions were pretty good but was let down a bit by the standard, it wasn’t the worst roast I’ve had in a pub but certainly wasn’t the best, the gravy was watery, the cabbage was quite hard, meat was a little dry, potatoes were ok but could do with being a bit crispy, we were also disappointed with the deserts.. a couple of us ordered the meringue mountain.. expecting there to be a fair bit of meringue as the name suggests! Well it was hard to find meringue in it! It should have been called cream mountain, about half a meringue in it, bit of ice cream and strawberry and the rest squirty cream! Others had sticky toffee pudding.. all complained about it being salty, Safe to say won’t be returning
I love The Live & Let Live. They serve j2o and have an outside area. Ive never had real food but im sure its lovely
A marvelous place to have lunch.
Best Sunday roast I've had
My first visit was yesterday and I have to say that the pub is really nice, the staff were excellent and the locals were great and so were all the little doggies that I met. I will definitely be going back and I might even try one of their roast dinners this Sunday.
Lovely staff, very local but still felt welcome. Even though I live in Stanway. Is still a very traditional pub and not many about any more
Came in for a drink, garden lovely, staff friendly.
This is a friendly local pub. It was great for a face to face meeting. I'm not sure about WiFi...
Rated atmosphere low as went lunch time on Friday so was quite. How ever food and service was amazing. Great pub highly recommended
Haven't been in ages but pleasantly surprised. Good choice of drinks especially ciders and lunch menu good with really tasty food. Sat in enosed quirky pub garden.
Me and my family had our first roast at the Live and Let Live today and the food was delicious. Proper home cooked and with all the roast trimmings! The pub was a bit quiet though and could have done with some background music, but everything else was perfect!
3 of us had afternoon tea as a little celebration of my daughter finishing school! Oh my god, it was amazing! Food was absolutely lovely and the service was fantastic!! Good price!I would highly recommend this especially if you fancy a treat!!!Thank you for making it a wonderful afternoon x
This pub is tucked down a little lane, which to be honest unless you know it is there you probably wouldn't notice. Have popped in a couple of times a few years back, but not recently. Had noticed that they have a garden so decided to go again and sit outside. Whilst there we then decided to get some food.Food was well priced and good size, and tasted good too. They also have kids meals, but these were £5 which isn't quite as well priced as the adult meals...! They also have plenty of drinks choices, the wife particularly liked the gins. A few craft type beers and proper cider also available.The garden has some beach hut style areas to sit but also picnic benches. Fair bit of space outside. Staff were friendly and were able to recommend drinks which is always nice when your not sure...!
