Nice foodie pubs in the Essex countryside? 16:45 - Sep 29 with 1571 viewsThe_Flashing_Smile

It's my dad's 85th birthday today and we're looking to take my parents out for a fancy meal in the above location in a couple of weeks. We've done The Sun Inn in Dedham, which was very nice. Any more for any more?

Trust the process. Trust Phil.

Not really Essex but the Marquis at Upper Layham and The Crown at Stoke by Nayland are both excellent and some really lovely views.

The Crown at Stoke by Nayland was ok for me the other night. Nothing more. It's part of the Chestnut group and generally find the Packhorse at Moulton and the Northgate in Bury much better.

Ian Marshall was in there.

I know that was then, but it could be again..
Poll: At present who do you think you'll vote for?

I went to the Galvin Green Man in Howe Street a few weeks ago and that was good. The lunch menu is decent value if that suits the 85 year old.

This would be my recommendation. Good beer, good food. Very accommodating and awesome walks on the Stour.

The Cricketers at either Clavering or Rickling are both lovely but both more Saffron Walden side of North Essex so might be wrong area.

I believe the Five Bells at Colne Engaine is supposed to be decent.

Not exactly a pub, but very good... Right on the border with Suffolk.

Went to the Cricketers before it changed hands and it was not all that, however the accommodation over the road that they also own was nice.

Keep meaning to go to Shillingfords but haven't got round to it yet. Have you been on one of the forager evenings?
