Travelled to the UK from Australia in June / July 2023 As part of our (wife and I) holiday, I wanted to stay in Chrishall as this is where my ancestors lived before they came out to South Australia way back in 1861, so we booked a room for 2 nights at the Red Cow. We drove up to Chrishall from London on a Sunday and arrived at the Red Cow about 3:00 PM to find the pub packed due to the Sunday roast lunch!! We booked in, dropped our suitcases off in our room and went back to the Red Cow and politely asked if we could order the roast ourselves, understanding that it was now 3:30 PM and the kitchen was probably closed. But this was not a problem as the Staff were only too happy for us to have our roast (which were excellent!) We then enjoyed a couple of drinks out in the beer garden on what was a great afternoon weather wise. They don't do dinner on Mondays but had a food van in the car park which served Mexican food which was of good quality. Again we had a few drinks in the beer garden with lots of other people around providing a good atmosphere. We stayed in the Drage room which was spotlessly clean and spacious. Unfortunately, we could only stay for 2 nights due to our timetable but I can say that this is a gem of a little pub & credit must go to the owners and friendly Staff for a welcoming 'vibe'. Would not hesitate to recommend staying here. If you do, make sure you visit Audley House in the small town of Saffron Walden (approx. 15 minutes from Chrishall) which is excellent.
