This pub is no more, it is bereft of life. At time of writing, and foreseeable future, it is closed

The Three Tuns, Great Abington
Excellent Thai food pub. First class all round. Good variety of real ales and an even better selection of food.
Staff very friendly. Certainly well worth a visit. Great location.

If you aint local, dont bother. Not very welcoming. Bar is littered with chairs making it difficult to move around. Not a good atmosphere.

Total lack of atmosphere, landlord runs around like a headless chicken.
We were the only customers on the lunchtime we visited, and left just as quickly.
11 Oct 2011 00:44
Awful atmosphere, no food, no customers. I believe under new management, again.

This is a" Wetherspoons". Always short of staff at busy times.
Fair sized place with plenty of tables both inside and out. Does get busy and turns into a bit of a bun fight for service. If you have been to a Wetherspoons before, then this is no worse or better than the rest.

The Old English Gentleman (OEG), Saffron Walden
Good sunday roast. Fair selection of ale. The waitresses could do with taking smiling lessons. Tad overpriced.

Excellent sunday roast. Good selection of ale. Staff very friendly and attentive.
Fly infestation on our visit but that did not put off what was a very nice experience.

Big old fashioned type of boozer. Fair selection of ales. Clean enough.
Advertised food and sunday carvery although never tried.
Good for a drink before hitting the chinese.

Pleasant enough little local hostelry. Led to believe that it tends to change hands quite frequently. Nice and clean and welcoming. Food very basic.

Great boozer for the real ale fanatics, wonderful selection of the real stuff. Packed to the rafters whenever we have visited but easy enough to get served. Staff not too friendly, but put that down to them being run off their feet.

Friendly enough staff, but would rate this as more of an eatery than a watering hole. Nice beer garden and dog friendly. Good pint of ale, never tried the food, tad too expensive for my depleted wallet.

Good dropping off pub for a drink and something to eat after a day out. Clean and tidy inside, big car park, and dog friendly, which was a bonus for us.
Unable to comment on evening trade.

The Moon and Starfish, Clacton On Sea
Not the best Wetherspoons we have been to. More packed than most and certainly less staff than most. Impossible to find a seat or table at the weekend.Located on seafront opposite the pier.

The Old Lifeboat House, Clacton on Sea
Not the biggest of pubs, but at least a pub which is something of a rarity in Clacton. Certainly a locals boozer , but , we were made welcome. Couple of guests ales.

The Scarlet Pimpernel, Haverhill
This pub is no more, it is berift of life, it is closed.
20 Feb 2011 10:03
Not the most hygenic of pubs, but, the locals were friendly.
Not one for the anniversary.
4 Nov 2010 02:57
Under new management and my goodness how this place has gone downhill,fast. Everything from service to food not to be recommended.

The Scarlet Pimpernel, Haverhill
Now under new management.They appear to be trying and have certainly tidied up from the previous people.

Now under new management and possibly the best pub in town. Very friendly and of course the Aspells cider.
Bar meals available and big screen for footie coverage.
Dionne and brian from the Barnie are the new and capable Governors.

The White Horse Inn, Withersfield
Great picture postcard pub.
One little bar but a good dining area. A tad overpriced.
Good variety of ale but the attraction for me is the Aspells cider.

The Rose and Crown Hotel, Haverhill
Once again under new management, this tells its own story.
14 Aug 2009 02:33
Lively pub frequented mainly by the locals. Very sports orientainted.
Good variety of ales.
Not one for a romantic aniversary .
Good lunchtime food menu.
14 Aug 2009 02:29
Attempting to cater for the lunch time business food trade.
Not a great deal of atmosphere.
Good outdoor seating area.
Friday/ saturday night venue for the late revellers.
14 Aug 2009 02:25
The standard of ale is really hit or miss, and generally it is miss. Same with bar staff, some good some downright miserable.
Food is not bad.
This is a friday/ saturday late night music pub so treat it as such.
14 Aug 2009 02:23
Certainly the best real ale pub in town. Now under new ownership. Prices are low.
The toilets in the beirut bar are still a must see.Dont forget to shower before you leave them.
Good early evening atmosphere. Great place to take the mother in law if you intend to shock.

The Scarlet Pimpernel, Haverhill
A place to be avoided.No atmosphere, in fact no nothing.Not very welcoming at all.

Lancs and Yorks, Bamber Bridge
Visited on a Saturday and it was empty. bar person sat on her barstool reading and put out by request to be served.
Disco was being set up so maybe it rocked later on.
14 Aug 2009 01:48
Waited for several minutes in the bar, no bar person appeared, walked out. One of the regulars informed us that this was a regular occurence that the bar staff could not be bothered.

Ye Olde Original Withy Tree, Bamber Bridge
Pleasantly surprised with this place. A nice and friendly local. Visited it as we were passing through. Made to feel welcome straight away. Excellent bar staff.Good variety of ale etc.
14 Aug 2009 01:44
What an overpriced sub standard place this turned out to be. Excellent location and old world pub , but that is as good as it gets.
Food was in short supply. Little girl waitresses very unsure of their position or what to do, although they tried. Very disappointed and let down.

The Victory Inn, Wickham St Paul
Wonderful find this place. Ceratinly worth the drive. Great ales, and Aspells cider, which is always a plus. Good menu. Atmosphere somewhat sterile, but dont be put off by that. This is as good as an English traditional pub gets.
17 Sep 2008 05:33
Great little pub with with great menu. Just won an award for its restaurant. Houses its own smokery.
Sunday brunch to be recommended. Good treasure of a find this place.
17 Sep 2008 05:27
I would imagine you would take your life in your own hands going in here after dark.
Frightened us to death going in for breakfast. Most Wetherspoons seem to attract a certain clientelle, but this had more than its fair share.
Breakfast was first class and hot. Service and staff was good.
16 Sep 2008 05:36
Under new management as I write. Nice lunch time pint in a clean but somewhat clinical atmosphere. A few more customers would help the atmosphere.
A very old and wonderful pub with enormous great fireplace inside.
16 Sep 2008 05:30
Very typical , stereotypical Wetherspoons.
Nice and big inside, good staff, when you can find them.Why do all Wetherspoons sufffer from staff shortages at busy times?
Good start for the evening for cheap ale.
16 Sep 2008 05:26
Very clinical inside. Enormous great place with very little if ant atmosphere.

The Barnadiston Arms, Kedington
Somewhat of a locals pub, ie if you aint a local you wont fit in.
Poor selection of ciders. Good variety of food.
Staff very warm but the locals leave a lot to be desired.

The Half Moon, Belchamp St Paul
Excellent thatched roof pub. Tried it for Sunday lunch and found it to be good value for money. Good choice of dishes. Another bonus is the Aspels cider.
Staff very friendly and accommodating.
15 Sep 2008 18:11
Typical understaffed Wetherspoons. Queing has become a pastime in these establishments. Certainly not family friendly, children shoved in the bag box room to eat.
Food at its best can only be described as edible. Tables very often just left to build up with various empty, plates glasses etc.

The Red Lion, Steeple Bumpstead
Shame really, so much potential, but what you get is a really pretentious pub, with little or no atmosphere. Have to agree with previous entry re food.You really do expect home cooking from an establishment like this. We as a party, were so dissappointed.

The Fox and Hounds, Steeple Bumpstead
Wonderful sunday lunch. First rate and so much for so little. Excellent location , nice little beer garden,
