| Good local pub... Have spent a few christmas holidays @ Rye farm and can definately recommend The Layer Fox. Good local feel, nice warm open fire and good range of beers. Red Fox (Coggeshal), Rockin Rudolph etc... Good food as well Barrow_Beer_Hunter - 2 May 2012 14:00 |
| Enjoyed a number of pints of Red Fox (Coggeshal) Bitter and Fools Gold. - pretty good........ if possibly a little cold (but that's mainly personal taste) Evening meal OK - typical pub grub A definite locals pub, community oriented with friendly atmosphere Small deli counter and cash machine ! Very good B&B faciities, with very acceptable full english breakfast (no toileteries in bathroom - not a proble for us, we had our own). Worth a visit if passing or needing a B&B in the area. pick_e_tippler - 16 Apr 2012 17:04 |
| Enterprising attractive pub with separate cafe area, a good mix of customers, and an OK beer. A good place to come after the zoo, I'd guess. mtaylor40 - 23 Mar 2012 21:35 |
| Visited about 3 times during the autumn and happy to return on each occasion. Four good beers on including the aforementioned Red Fox beers and a couple of others rarely seen for the area. Beers now £3.20 a pint. The food is first class although some is outstanding. The ham, eggs and chips was the largest I'd come across and presented unconventionally. I was told that the food is bought from the local butcher and you can certainly taste the difference. Sunday lunch is well worth a look. The most interesting feature is the split level. Upstairs is a large area containing a large sofa but plenty of more conventional tables. Very friendly service - remembered on subsequent visits. This is the type of place I wish I lived nearer to. Far enough away from Colchester to remain unspoilt. ButchEgg - 29 Dec 2011 13:29 |
| Visited recently and found four decent ales that were very well kept. Food was excellent. Very friendly staff. All in all a good experience. Could do without the pool table but hey, I'm an old codger! Will certainly visit again. stemginger - 23 Nov 2010 13:29 |
