The pub is beautiful and cosy, the landlady was kind and cheerful and the food.....oh god, the food! We both had a starter of pigeon, not something you usually see on a pub menu and it was superbly cooked and tasted amazing. For my main I chose the steak burger with chips and onion rings, the burger was big, flavoursome and juicy and the touch I like is that the tomato ketchup on table was all homemade, not from a bottle! We will certainly come back to this awesome place if we are ever near the area again because it was outstanding!!

There is a reasonable ca park as it gets quite hard to park in the summer. I have visited for lunch and dinner and both were very nicely presented and well cooked. The skate is very tasty and the scampi and Jenga chips are good. The costs can be a little bit higher for lunch but the menu is very similar and therefore for dinner, I thought it was quite reasonable. Peter who used to be at another Billericay restaurant is the restaurant manager and as normal makes sure we get well looked after.

The back bar has a pool table and leads out in to the back porch and beer garden. The back porch has a patio heater for all the smokers who don't want to freeze while feeding the habit which costs 50p for about half an hour. The front bar has a darts board. At the front is a big decked area with tables and parasols, which is great in the summer. Both bars have a television in which show the football and sports in general.

I mean come on! What a great little English name!! So the price is steep (pun intended) if you think you're having pub food, but if you realize you're getting a real hearty and gorgeously plated meal using local produce, you might not think about the price so much. My fillet of seabass sat on top of a crab and potato cake, covered with cooked spinach and samphire, drenched in lemon butter sauce was an explosion of complementary flavours. The dish was ginormous, even at 15GBP, and even though my stomach was hardly able to take it, i gorged it without really thinking of the consequences. And sadly, the consequences were quite severe, as my coworkers started ordering dessert, and i could only sit there teary eyed, staring at the menu and coveting the Bailey cheesecake that no one ended up ordering. I did have a taste of the sticky toffee pudding and the bread and butter pudding. Yup. Fantastic. They also have blackboards of daily menus and funky little things on there like venison sausages, and tempura battered fish, etc., bringing in a lot of fusion into this traditional pub. Although the website claims that it's "homecooked meals" they're seriously professional about it. The place is small, so best to call first before going to ensure you will get seats. Again, beer garden in the summer, fireplace inside a 15th Century inn in the winter. You can't go wrong eating here.

Traditional pub grub and I highly recommend the Sunday roast dinner - super value for money. If you like real ale you are in for a treat. They often have a few guest ales on the pumps so there is always something new to try. Being a lager drinker I don't usually try the ales but there is always a good selection. Overall, a great village pub with good ales, great food and brilliant company. Highly recommended.
