We are recruiting for a people focused General Manager for The Princess Charlotte, in Colchester, Essex.

A McMullen’s pub since 2017 and the first pub anywhere to be named after William & Kate’s second child!

Location and Style

A purpose-built pub oozing character, boasting a defined bar area for those just wanting a locally crafted beer, cocktail or glass of wine, with a spacious yet comfy restaurant so that all the family can enjoy one of our specialities which include freshly spit-roasted chicken followed by a hand-made ice cream sundae. There’s a huge patio to enjoy when the sun shines which make this pub a perfect stop off on a trip to the local retail park all year round.
