We are a modern British pub serving great freshly made food, hero craft beers and eclectic wines Live sport, dog friendly, mouth watering Sunday roasts there is something for everyone. We offer inclusive table service, no standing at the bar and a civilized experience.
What a lovely little gem of a place. In the middle of nowhere, very pretty and quiet, absolutely amazing room called "Old Bob". Very spacious and very well equipped, plenty of drawers and wardrobe space. This is an awesome room if you have a disability as it has an enormous wet room and bedroom space. The is very beautifully decorated and designed. The light in the bathroom is brilliant as it gets brighter slowly so you don't hurt your eyes in the morning. The food was served hot and well presented, staff are very polite, the tables are very well set out and has a lovely fire on entry. The only one thing I would point out is that there wasn't a lot of outside lights from our room to the bar. Maybe they were faulty or not turned on. Other than that. It was absolutely excellent
Great little pub. Popped in with my daughter whilst staying locally suposedly for one drink but stayed for three plus a meal. Great attentive and friendly staff. Nice ambience. Will return.
Really lovely family venue for Sunday lunch. Checked the website for the menu before we went but it only showed a very limited option. Upon phoning they confirmed they offered a full roast dinner. Perhaps the website should be updated? Food was excellent and standard sort of prices for what was offered. It was very quiet in there for a Sunday at 2pm, hope they don't struggle for trade as it is a great addition to the area.
Had burgers from "The Patty Guy" and they were delicious, best burgers we've had in Chelmsford. We collected our order, but had a quick drink and the staff were lovely, friendly and welcoming. Really lovely atmosphere in the pub. I would go back and eat in next time. Highly recommend the food and location.
So grateful to have this pub within walking distance, so a much welcome new local for us. Staff are super friendly and we really appreciate the table service - very attentive. Dog friendly too, so big thumbs up from us. Thank you for the team that have taken this over and hope in return, the locals use you regularly.
Fantastic roast dinner, such an amazing refurb & such top quality food. I would say the price is well worth it. Great service, attentive staff. Nice selection of good food & drinks. I am so happy we now have such a quality local pub in the area. The old Compasses pub was a total dive - don't be put off by the name being the same or the old pics still on google maps as it has completely changed!
