The Rabbits is a family friendly gastro pub & restaurant in the heart of the essex countryside. We pride ourselves on good friendly service and good quality homecooked food with our seasonal menus, we serve real ales, fine wines & premium spirits. We have a great beer garden where you can take in the picturesque views whilst not having to go too far to order any food or drink as this can all be done at our garden bar which is also playing background music around our garden, this is open Thurs-Sunday throughout the spring/summer weather permitting. There is a childrens play area and we also welcome dogs in our garden and inside the bar area. The Rabbits Team look forward to seeing you soon.

    Went for a Sunday lunch, it was such a lovely dinner. I had beef and my husband had pork. Both meats were tender and tasty. Great veg & service

    Booked here as on their website apparently they've been voted 4th best roast in Essex, either the standard of roads in Essex isn't very high or this was a very favourable review as whilst it was fine, I wouldn't rush back. We had a roast beef and a nut roast, both portions were on the smaller side, roast potatoes not very crispy, Yorkshire puddings were soft and undercooked, the beef was much more well done than I'd like (not even a hint of pink). We also ordered the apple crumble which whilst it was very good, classic no nonsense style just as I like it, it took 35 mins from us ordering for it to arrive. Nobody asked us if we wanted more drinks in that time even though we clearly had empty glasses. Doubt I'd return here.

    My first time here, superb food and an unrushed service from the waitresses made for a very pleased experience, I will be returning.

    Meat was good but the potatoes weren’t great. Pork crackling wasn’t edible. Service wasn’t great. Waitied 40mins for food and the pub was half full.
