Very good country pub with an exceptional range of crisps and other bar snacks.

Visited this pub and sat in the garden. The chairs were filthy and the pubs bulldog I presume just sat there barking at me the entire time. Disgusted to see half a dead rabbit or squirrel in the garden that hadn't been removed. Crawling with flies! Whoever gave this pub a (9 obviously worked there

Should be a guaranteed success, and deservedly so, seeming to have an enthusiastic set of village locals, and close enough to the Audley End station and stately home to bring in passing trade such as me. Beers were varied (and seem to turno over frequently) and the 2 I tried were both on form. Meals were varied, not criminally expensive and showed some imagination - on a summer Saturday lunch, the place was full of diners. The interior is cosy, dark and attractive - staff businesslike

Lovely village pub which looks after its locals it seems. Good beers available, guest ales etc. Nice large garden, with crazy golf course!! Host annual charity fundraiser - the "Bell Bash" and also has small beer festivals. Centre of village life it seems...good for stopping off on your bike ride! Not tried food so will only give 8/10.

A beautiful and ancient pub with low beam ceilings, slightly bowing walls and, when we were there, a real log fire. They served lunch until 2pm and on a Sunday, that included three roast meat lunches and one vegetarian. The pork and lamb were excellent and, by the looks of it, the beef and roast vegetable/mozarella cheese alternatves were equally good.
They served Adnams beer amongst others, although I tried a very pleasant Sulfolk cider that was on tap.
A really lovely atmosphere, very warm, good food, drink and service, no fruit machines!
