Lovely traditional pub with tasty food and good service. Quiet outdoor seating to enjoy the weather. Thank you!
After a walk at Paper mill lock, we headed up the road to find this pub. It's a lovely looking pub set in a big garden. Inside is even more impressive with beams and low ceilings. We were met by a friendly landlord and lots of locals. It's a cosy little space around the bar, so we jostled in and chose drinks. At least the ales on tap, lots of other beers and ciders. Their speciality seems to be a Vodka list that takes up a full page of A4.
The beers were lovely, plus the selection of crisps and Scratchings kept us all happy. A very pleasant way to spend an hour on Saturday afternoon. We'll definitely be going back.
A great little cosy pub to spend a sunny Sunday watching time fly by. Has a lovely decor and charm about the place, nice to see the horses go by on the road, a good beer garden also, and some really nice real ale & beer on tap 👌 and a perfect pint of Guinness ! Very friendly staff shall definitely be coming back again indeed
What a lovely pub. So quaint 😊 food is delicious. Owners are very friendly. There's a pool table too! Parking is great. They have lots of outdoor seating too, obviously not for this time of year but will be great in the summer. Only thing I would say is they don't have a massive selection of bottled wines, the standard size I mean. Apart from that, very nice indeed 😁
A very nice pub with value for money menu food was excellent
Lovely pub with a friendly landlord and a tasty drink. Perfect!
Finishing our walk around the nearby nature reserve, the pub was a welcome sight! It is beautifully set on the main street leading up to the top of Little Baddow, and proudly features a lovely beer garden on a slope to its Western side.
There is a good selection of drinks, warm food and sandwiches. The place has quite a history (built around 1650) and the owners have made sure the interior is richly decorated with lots of items around a nautical theme. The collection of beer mats adorning the ceiling around the bar to the right of the entrance is worth admiring.
Note: the pub serves food but you may have to wait to be served so don't be in a hurry! Enjoy the atmosphere and a good conversation. Staff are very welcoming and friendly, a great testimony of local hospitality.
A great pub. We've been going here for quite a few years. Lovely old pub interior with wooden floors and beams and immaculate beer garden with plenty of seating. The landlord always has a couple of real ales and ciders on tap which change regularly plus a good selection of gins and vodka shots. Highly recommended for a nice relaxing drink in a nice setting.
Lovely old style pub. Felt very homely and a good range of beers. Haven’t tried the food yet but certainly will
Had a lovely pint of Ruby Mild in perfect condition and very good ham, egg and homemade chips for lunch at a real "lighter meal" price. Wish this was my local.
Landlord was friendly as well. 👍
