This pub is superb.! Food is tasty and service is just great. We have been seated immediately and offered drinks (great beer selection). The blond lady, her name was hard to remember but I hope we are correct here (Marketa) was just lovely! Nothing was problem for her. We love our fish&chips and wasnt dissapointed. We will be back soon.

Good English pub food. Nicely decorated clean pub with large outdoor seating area. On the couple of times I’ve visited over the last year, which luckily avoided peak times, the experiences have been fine, with only one occasion where the food took longer than expected. However be aware that, based on comments from others during the visits, the food service can be slow with very long delays at peak times. It seems the kitchen tends to be understaffed, whilst on at least one occasion there were plenty of bar staff. Maybe it was just unfortunate circumstances on the days I visited. Recommend avoiding peak times to be on the safe side. Otherwise food was great, and we were able to get food around 9pm on a Wednesday night when other places had already closed their kitchen. Outdoor seating overlooks some lovely Essex countryside. (Pictured: British chicken and ham hock pie with chips)

The food we had here was from the festive menu, and was a good mix to suit most tastes.The starter was a reasonable size, although another slice of toast would have meant that I would have spread my terrine thinner.My main course.beef cheeks, whilst delicious had too much gravy for my tastes, and this was a lot runnier than the other people with the same dish that had a thicker jus. I had to ask for a spoon so that i could get this delicious sauce.Whilst a minor issue i thought that the two servings would of at least been consistent.The dessert was a lovely baked burnt orange cheesecake that finished the meal off perfectly without being too heavy.We had a good meal here and was content with our server Josh who was attentive throughout the evening without bothering us too much.The setting made us feel very festive and homely.Im sure we will visit again in the future to explore further mouth watering dishes.

Brilliant meal in an amazing pub/restaurant. Food was outstanding. Service from Marketa was equally great. Amazing value for money too.

Went for a birthday meal, service was very good, didn't seem to have lots of staff on , however this did not affect the service. We had Mason serve us, he was very efficient, helpful and professional.Nice and friendly , very welcoming. Thank you Mason

Unfortunately I have to say that the food has gone downhill. My mixed fish was over cooked, dry and unsatisfactory. My boyfriend’s chips were not acceptable. Dry, over cooked and bad looking. We have sadly decided not to return. If this was a cheap meal then maybe we would have expected less quality.

Thought I should share my notes improvement since my last visit as assume they have had a change in chef?Absolutely lovely waitress (Georgia I think?) was so really sweet and attentive, in saying that the staff have never been my issue ….it’s more food in the past.The food was much better than I remember from last visit - we all cleared our plates! I only had pie and mash, one friend had a chicken n chips dish the other tried the gnocchi from the chef special menu and was pleasantly surprised! I hope they keep it up!
