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. 👍

Nice traditional pub. Good size garden area with tables. Food freshly made to order. Homemade chips. Yum!
Great pub in a beautiful area of Essex with lots of excellent public footpath based walks nearby. Good beer, a large garden and good reasonably priced food. Go for a walk then finish with a pInt and some grub knowing you earned it.
Very nice little pub. Lovely garden to sit in if weather permits. Does food. You may want to check opening times if you are travelling to get there
A proper real ale pub with three guest beers on cask. Steeped in history and artifacts. Large beer garden. Well worth a visit.
Great original pub, totally unspoilt, good old floorboards and decor.
Serving some very good food, cooked properly and very tasty..
Very traditional English pub with an excellent beer garden and plenty of parking. Very good value for money compared to many other pubs.
A nice walk to Paper Mill Lock if you like to stroll down a river.
Lovely traditional pub with nice garden. Great choice of gins and vodka! Cracking ploughmans for a fraction of the price charged by other local hostelries.
