Famous For Our Roasts
Now Available Friday to Sunday
The old exposed oak beams and warm cosy atmosphere make a great place to eat and drink with friends and family. The pub looks out onto our large garden and patio area with tables, parasols, pond with fountain and well maintained lawns which back onto the countryside.
As a family run pub since 2003, Carl and Pauline Yardley pride themselves on providing only the highest quality, locally sourced produce, freshly prepared from kitchen to table with an emphasis firmly on flavour and outstanding service. We are just a short drive from Harlow Junction 7 & 7a and Epping!
