| Three reviews in one... The bar was full of locals at 6pm and there seemed a good atmosphere. Then more came in after bellringing. Then there is the odd bargame of getting the hoop on a hook. Must be an essex thing. Due to the unseasonably warm weather, I stuck to Kronenbourg. Soz ale fans. The food was excellent - with great service in a nice area. Just be carful that you order veggies if you want them. The highlight was the rooms - exceptionally high standard and each looks uniquely presented. Much better than a grotty chain pub for the same price. Very friendly staff. Mappiman - 4 Oct 2011 20:00 |
| stunning setting opposite a beautfull church in a hidden little village. the bar area is a really nice place to spend an afternoon or evening. nice wooden bar in the middle, lovely country trimmings. decent set of locals who hold court up one end of the room, and add a nice atmosphere ot the place. very good service from the bar girls, pint topped up without asking. great place.

| Recently visited this place on a Sunday after a fine local walk. The extremely busy beer garden was not a place to dwell for more than the time it took to gulp down my over-priced, flat beer. The only food being offered alfesco was served from what looked like a converted garage and basically consisted of sausages, burgers or jacket spuds. And who thought it was a good idea to have loud music playing?... in a country pub garden! Do these people know nothing? Such a shame as it's in a lovely location. kestrel - 4 Oct 2010 23:13 |
| Not a bad place for a beer and a bite. The conservatory area out back gets a bit hot in the summer, but there is the choice of alfresco eating on the patio, which I agree is a bit run down. There is usually adequate car parking, but occasionally if there is a function on in the village school the car park fills with illegally parked parents' cars, with the owners having no intention of using the pub. Perhaps the pub should invest in a clamping service!! Otherwise a safe enough bet, in a quaint location, but nothing to get too excited about. jcraf - 26 Oct 2008 00:36 |
| I can confirm that Ross Kemp used to sup here, he used to live up the road though I never set eyes on him. I thought the selection of beers was poor with the ubiquitous Green King IPA as a flag ship. If it does now serve ale from local breweries then I would welcome this improvement. The garden game is Petanque and there is an unusual and difficult indoor game involving a horn on the wall and a ring on a cord. There used to be table top skittles as well I think. Great atmosphere in the two wood paneled drinking areas, never eaten myself but looks good. The tower of the name refers to a Tower that used to exist in the country park behind the church oposite, I think there was a tunnel involved. I would recomend a visit to this historic and picturesque boozer. Hornchurchpaul - 1 Oct 2008 17:09 |
