I call this my Local although its 3 miles away and I have Pubs closer, Great homely pub., always a good selection of Guest Beers from all over the country from the Barrel to try before you buy. Food is always excellent whether you are bar snacking or seating in the restaurant section. The old part of the Pub is the original Coaching Inn dating back to the 17th Century (I think) with the original low beams so if you are tall like me mind your head.

One of the first real country pubs (in that it is in the middle of nowhere) as you leave Greater London on the A127. Nice welcoming atmosphere with a long bar with low tables for drinkers and a spacious area to the left for diners. Food can be very good even exceptional, but there is also some variabilty, though when I complained they treated me very well. As a pub the atmosphere is one that makes you want to linger, there is a nice choice of real ales and pretty good value wines if that is your thing. Overall the best country pub for both food and beer drinking i have found in the Brentwood area. You can take your mother or your mates.

proper pub, 8 well kept real ales, including their own. good bar food(bit expensive) no tv, no loud music, nice friendly staff, no need to book for bar food, pint of prawns looked good.

Would love to eat here but you need to book first - according to their website - but you cannot book unless you have a phone without a withheld number and they do not respond to emails.... maybe one day I can get to try their food!!

I echo eveything that everyone else has said. Total ale heaven and awesome food to boot.

One word of warning - shuts at 9pm on Sundays
