We were originally put on a table that wasn’t in the main area of the pub. We asked if we could be moved to the main area of the pub which they were able to do really quickly. We were so pleased that we asked as the ambiance was lovely. All the staff were attentive and the food was delicious and plentiful. We had the Christmas festive menu. We have eaten here a couple of times previous to this and are never disappointed. Thank you again.

We absolutely love coming to this rural pub! The atmosphere is great, it is dog friendly, the food is lovely and it feels really cosy. You'd think you were in the heart of the northern countryside - not essex. Will keep coming back!
