"We drove for over an hour to meet friends for lunch at 1pm. We placed our order within 20 minutes, but 40 minutes later we inquired about our food's ETA and were told it would be another 10 minutes. After waiting 50 minutes with still no food in sight, we checked in again at the bar and were informed that our food was on its way. Despite being told it would be 10 more minutes, an hour later we still had no food. Frustrated, we decided to leave while our friends stayed behind. The food finally arrived about 1.5 hours after we had placed our order. There were only five other tables occupied in the pub. No explanation was given until the end, when the barmaid mentioned that the chef was working alone. It would have been more considerate to inform us that there might be a delay due to limited staff or offer complimentary drinks to make up for the wait. It's a pity because the pub itself was nice, in a beautiful location, but the unprofessionalism of the staff left us disappointed."

Pretty awful all round in my opinion, a real shame. Will not go out of my way to visit here again. Would certainly not recommend.

Absolutely amazing pub, will definitely be making a few more visits to here, I'd happily walk from Halstead to Colne Engaine to have a few drinks and a meal. Ryan was a fantastic host, the food absolutely delicious and the atmosphere was friendly and delightful Would highly recommend the chicken, bacon and leek pie, I could have just eaten the pastry by itself!

Visited our local pub on a Sunday lunchtime 12.30, pub empty, what a shame. Upon entering unwelcome greeting, only 1 real ale beer on offer, told that they do not replenish following Friday/Saturday service. Only 2 months ago it was a full welcoming pub, with excellent food. We left and visited pub in Pebmarsh where they had 5 local beers on offer, excellent food, and a warm welcome!!

Although a Monday and wasn't busy as we seemed to be the first people to be seated one of our party had a longer wait for their meal which was embarrassing for the other members of the party. The meals served weren't as per the menu description and the late meal consisted of dry wrinkled five beans that looked reheated. We were offered free desserts but our first time visit was spoilt especially as it was a birthday lunch. Doubt we will revisit.

This pub resturant is under new management, and i am so pleased to advise that it was a Very good experience. Welcome was very good immediately felt valued. Food came up quickly and was VERY VERY GOOD !Atmosphere was nice, several people in the bar at 6.30 in the evening, and they were pleasant and welcoming. Our little dog enjoyed a fuss. I speak as I find and the whole experience was very good. We have booked Sunday lunch I am so pleased that we have a nice new local. Thanks to Brian.

Book a table a day before, only to find out when we turn up that they had a missed delivery so several items on the menu were not available, so we order food and drinks only to find that they had no pinot grigio. Food was ok, then had to wait twenty minute to order desert after we finished main meal, ordered desert and another drink, got our next drink then was told thay did not have the desert we ordered as the chef had gone home without getting the deserts out, my wife had the only thing available, chocolate brownies I asked if I could get dairy free ice cream as it was on the menu and again this was not avaliable either. If they knew how little food they had why were we not contacted befo...

This has been my local for over 10 years and we still walk past it on a daily basis, but no longer enter. Unfortunately, since the previous landlady departed, the place has been ruined. The current landlord Ryan or Eamonn (Nobody knows his real identity) has created a toxic culture surrounding the pub with numerous outbursts on social media. Within, the pub has zero atmosphere, the landlord is rude and abrupt to deal with and it's just not a very nice place to go. It's such a shame as we have spend the last 10 years visiting the pub for a drink after a dog walk around the fields and numerous great nights having dinner when the pub and it's clients were valued under Darren and Caroline and la...

"We came here on a last minute hunt to find a Sunday roast with family without much expectations. However when entering its a lovely set up and we were greeted by Lee and Alison who looked after us for the meal who just to begin were absolutely brilliant, they really care about the customers and make this place extra special. Now for the food you can get a 2 or 3 course meal so everybody made various selections but all had starters. Most went for the Aarancina which isn't your usual starter with a Sunday roast but for here it packs alot of flavour and is a great way to start the meal. They have a great selection of alcoholic beverages I went for a simple beer. For the main roasts we had a variety of meats I wanted the pork but sadly they had no crackling which was half the reason for ordering but if I am being honest after eating the meal it wasn't missed out the meat was tasty full of flavour but the sides were the key. The roast potatoes were of a top level usually when you eat out they are never as good as eating at home, the Yorkshire were huge and tasty, gravy brilliant with plenty to go around and lots of veg and cauliflower cheese on the side. Honestly this was excellent a really good roast probably the best I have ever ate in a resteraunt. Some of the others had the lamb shank which was huge and had great feedback but the beef was great and so was everything else. So yes check it out eat in and eat some great food in a nice setting with absolutely brilliant service you won't be disappointed."

"What can I say….We held our wedding dinner and impromptu party ! on the mezzanine floor and had the time of our lives with our nearest and dearest. It’s been a pretty special place for us as we dined at the House by Hilly Gant to check the area out before moving from London and so as we were having a small wedding of 22 people we felt this was the best place to have our wedding. Suzanne and the team could not have done anything more to make our afternoon and evening so perfect. The food was outstanding and our guests were very impressed Harry and his cocktail making skills are second to none. Huge shout out to all the kitchen staff who’s attention to detail and timings were spot on. Leading up to the day itself Suzanne took charge and offered her expert advice on how to dress the room and made so much effort with our requirements. 3 children and 1 baby as part of the guest list! . The beef in particular was spectacular and the chocolate fondant was sublime. We honestly didn’t want to leave. After dinner Suzanne was able to crank the music up and we had a little party ensuring all the guests downstairs were still well looked after our friends were actually dining downstairs and were able to join us towards the latter part of the evening! From the bottom of our hearts thank you so much to everyone for making it so special for us. I’m not surprised that you were recently awarded your second rosette, totally deserved. For anyone looking for quality food, locally sourced, and beautifully executed this is the place to come. SEE YOU SOON and thank you again x"
