you are wrong jean is no dictator ,there is only one taker of dick down that pub and goes under the name of denzil ( NEW BALLS PLEASE ).

that's unfair.jean is only miserable as a family member died at auschwich.apparently he fell from the watchtower! and that's nothing,i've heard that all the people who have smiled in there are locked in the cellar until fred makes another million.great place for a dump though as you can go in one door,use the bog and take a short cut to mile end road,and carry on upto the dog and pheasant!

where do i start? is jean 'the dictator' stalin still there? always been a clean pub but bar staff's sense of humour is just as sterile! the only pub in history never to have a late one,as fitting in with salin's regime.the beer seems to go up 30p a go after each budget aswell,and when asking erica for more head you might just get it.beer still flat though! very popular with sandle wearing,guardian reading,lentil eaters though.

The Bricklayers is a nice pub. The real ales are well kept and enjoyable. It is a shame that it doesnt open till 5.30 in the evenings. The food is lovely especially the Sunday lunches. There does seem to be a big pool of "locals" but shows it is a good pub. Dont get put off by the two fat bikers at the end of the bar, there were very polite to me and my wife, even if they did swear a lot.

I worked in Colchester, near the Bricklayers, for almost ten years, and spent most lunch-times in the Brickies with friends and colleagues from the office. The food was of high quality and the beers and wine were excellent. Fred and Hazel were superb hosts, particularly Hazel, who had a superb sense of humour. Their children, Erica and Shane? were pleasant and friendly. I was made redundant from my job and now work in Chelmsford and very much miss the Bricklayers. I now drink at lunch-times in Pincho's Tapas Bar, Baddow Road, Chelmsford. I can highly recommend it if you are visiting Chelmsford.

I have to say, after reading the below which I happen to find shocking. What the hell is everyone talking about. I am in the Bricklayers a few nights of the week and I find it a nice friendly, local pub!!! The Landlord and Landlady are lovely but say things how they are! If people dont like drinking in there perhaps they should find somewhere else!
Posted by absent minded — 17/09/2007 at 20:48
well where shall i start.
the people that drink in
this pub are an excellent bunch !!
The landlord however is a dirty old pervert!!
and if u dont flirt back with him he will, proceed by kicking you out of the pub blaming it on the amount you have had to drink.
seen him do this on numerous occasions, disgusted by it!!
why own a pub if you cant have a laugh and yes the son does serve a "good coke"
as ive heard many o' times!!!

Ive been drinking down the bricklayers for many years now,and wish to remain anonymos for professional reasons. The name i have used is completeley unrelated to my trade. I like to start my days lurking around the local CO-OP asking the locals for charitable donations of clothing as i now resort to tucking my trousers in to my socks. I also like to unwind down my local pub on a friday night, where it is true that you are gauranteed a drunken landlord and his moody wife, "AND THEY TELL ME IVE HAD TO MUCH TO DRINK" after two drinks? Wet potatoes and not so much as a thank-you when i hand over my hard earned cash. But who wants to listen to a washed up old PLUMBER like me.

Strangly, Eskimos have no word in there language for "Brush", although they have over 700 different words for "Broom"!

When I visited England last year,I thought id visit its oldest town, Colchester. After spending a lovely day here I had to get a train home,so went in the bricklayers for a pint while i waited for my train. I thought id walked back on to the set of the A Team, with the landlord looking like Hannibal Smith with his cigar. When i was served a pint the landlady had more attitude than Mr T, I daren't ask for crisps in case she replied "I aint got no plain"
