West Mersea is a charming marina and fishing village famous for its seafood and is located on Mersea Island, just off the coast of Essex. The Victory fits its into this relaxed environment quite well and with an imposing frontage and huge beer garden its deceptively big from the outside. Inside is a little less impressive, alas; its a little too modern in appearance and a little too much of the space is taken up by a restaurant, while the drinking area looks - appropriately enough - like the bar annex of a restaurant. Still, what it does have is excellent food, a couple of ales - Tribute and Greene King IPA, friendly service and a good view over the marina. Perfect place for a warm, sunny day, its certainly a pub worth visiting if you've taken a day trip to Mersea.

How to find the The Victory pub

Mersea Island is 7 miles from Colchester along the Mersea Road. Driving here is recommended, but theres also a bus service from Colchester. The Victory is located on the marina, in West Mersea. Also note: being connected to the mainland only by a causeway, the island is occasionally cut-off. If you don't want to have to swim across click <a href="http://www.mersea-island.com/tide-tables.cfm" target="blank">this link</a> for tide dates.
