| Have been a regular visitor since 1965 and find the Moletrap a wonderful haven, and often walk here from Epping. Dave and Jean and their staff are friendlym served good ale and the food is fantastic and cooked to order. Contrary to the above, the Moletrap is the good,the good and the good!! dmartin1943 - 27 Oct 2011 10:49 |
| Beer! The choice is good with a choice of guest ales with you can sample before buying. After all we are discussing a pub and the nation drink of England! Ok the sign is faded and food itsn't 2 for £10 agreed. harperp3 - 18 Feb 2011 16:31 |
| Nice little pub with some good ale and cider on tap. Staff very frendly and a nice place to pop in for a drink on a Sunday afternoon - watch out though as it closes between 4-7pm! shortie_sarah - 1 Aug 2010 19:11 |
| Don’t believe all the hype – the Mole Trap only scrapes a 5.5/10 – and that’s being generous. And no – I don’t like modern boozers – just friendly, nice pubs that look clean. So that’s why I came here during one of my Essex walks. Let’s start with… The Good: forget the faded McMullen’s ashtrays or the McMullen’s signage above – that brewery was here back in the 1980’s – but instead I enjoy a lovely pint of Fuller’s London Pride – a perfect way to survey the surrounding green fields of The Mole Trap. Lovely pint. So far, so good. The Bad: I’m at the food board - since when does Ham, Egg and Chips warrant £8.95? I opt for something more substantial, a tad-under-nine- quid home-cooked meat pie, but it isn’t much better than a frozen supermarket version. Although, the vegetables (broccoli, greens, swede and mash) are just right, but it really isn’t worth the price I’m afraid. This is a £5 meal, I’d say. I’m told the Theydon Oak in Epping does great food for around two quid less than the Mole Trap – and maybe you get a ‘hello’ or ‘enjoy your meal’ or a ‘goodbye’ there? I wouldn’t say any of the 3 staff I came across were friendly – bit like the food prices really. And finally… The Ugly: the Mole Trap is in dire need of a lick of paint and crying out for some TLC. Outside, flaking (McMullen’s of course) wall signs look down on a drab grey pavement with old green plastic patio seating from the 1990’s (I’m being generous again!) spoil what could be a good boozer. Inside, it’s quite dark, quaint all the same, but needing a bit of cash splashed around from the profits of the expensive pub grub they serve here. I just hope it gets rescued before it’s too late gkipa - 24 May 2009 09:58 |
| Great pub. Great beer. Great food. If you think make up or bling makes you look more attractive then give this place a miss, stick to the Camelot. A real pub for real people. pg_1966 - 20 Oct 2008 00:45 |
