So, recently my wife and I have been doing the 4 mile walk around the Chafford Gorge area and today we decided to stop here for lunch - just after midday. We didn't make a reservation, but there were plenty of tables with reservations for later times, so bare that in mind if you plan on stopping later in the day. Anyway, it wasn't too busy. Unfortunately, we weren't able to use the QR code to order because the starters weren't on there for some reason and it was 3 starters for... £13? I'm completely guessing, as I can't remember and forgot to take a photo, but we thought it was a good deal. We had the chicken tacos, pork tacos and chicken strips. All three dishes were extremely enjoyable. Only criticism is the tacos needed more filling and were slightly dry, so we added sauce and it made them much nicer.
There's also a mains deal, 2 mains from £14.99? Again I'm guessing. I went for the Hunters chicken, which was cooking perfectly with a decent amount of chips and a little salad along with it. This was delicious with a little salt, pepper and ketchup on top. Wife went for the gammon and also agreed her food was delicious. So, can't really fault the food, except the lack of fillings in the tacos. The staff were friendly and polite. It's extremely spacious, massive car park and beer garden to sit outside and enjoy the weather with your drinks. I did find it a bit weird that there was a camera in the toilet... But anyway, we'll definitely be going back.
I'm giving it 5 stars because overall it was a nice afternoon pub lunch, but 4 stars because of the rather empty and dry tacos and 4 stars for the service because I think the hard working staff could've done with an extra set of hands and the pub was much busier as we were leaving. Big down side for me, kid friendly. I don't have anything against them but when they're running around, being loud and disturbing the atmosphere, I feel it can just ruin everything - so 4 stars for that too.
Having lived in Grays for a year, managed to find a quaint place to have lunch. The portions are not that great but the food is tasty and the ambience is lovely. Staff friendly , however u can order everything on the app. Good choice of food and drinks
