It's a five minute detour from junction 8 of the M11, and so much nicer than the motorway service area. Bentfield Green is a pretty Essex village and the pub overlooks the village green which is surrounded by attractive cottages. We sat in the sunny garden at the rear of the pub and opted for the 'Fish of the Day' and the 'Prawn and Avocado Salad'... and wow! I have never seen such a huge portion of prawns on one plate! Was somewhat less than impressed by the glass of coke I was served, which was poured from an already open 2 litre bottle and was rather flat. However, the quality of our meals and the memory of those prawns will definitely take us back next time we are passing. I'll just make sure I drink something other than Coke!

The concierge recommended The Ash, so we gave it a try. We were delighted ;-) Two of us had their fish and chips; one of had mushy peas and one had regular peas. Another of us had the Steak and Mushroom Pie - she loved it (and she's picky). The fish and chips were huge portions but we've decided that all fish and chips kind of taste the same anymore so while they were good, they were otherwise unremarkable. I had the apple crumb for dessert and it was awesome along with a whoopass cup of coffee. The staff was very friendly and took good care of us. The place is decorated with airline models on the ceiling beams and they've got a really nice vintage R/C Spitfire hanging from the ceiling too. Overall it was a lovely experience and a place I recommend.

A wonderful pub in Bishop's Stortford, it's a proper old pub with centuries of history and a great…read morefeature is how it's separated into different rooms on different levels. The staff were very welcoming and we found a number of real ales on, although I don't recall seeing any craft beers. There's an outside courtyard and apparently a large room at the back with a stage where they host live music. The walls are decorated with various old paintings, and there's a fire place in one part of the pub. It's easily a place where I could see whiling away an afternoon or evening in a very traditional setting! They weren't serving food when we were there which was a little surprising given it was a Saturday evening, but someone said they were doing food at lunchtime. Although, with a food hygiene rating of 2 out of 5 according to the Scores on the Doors website you may not want to eat here anyway. Hopefully I will make it back at some point to enjoy the pub some more! Possibly skipping the food though...

This in no way detracts from the charm of the place, particularly if you're out with some mates, but if you're taking your other half out, just forewarn them before they take a trip to the WC. The best pub in town by a long shot.

Great vegetarian, kids and meat eater choices, with great staff and a wonderful atmosphere. It was a Friday night and the Three Willows was full and there were lots of locals, which is always a great sign! Despite how busy it was, service was quick with a smile! This will be our go to in this area now and we are planning to return tomorrow!
