• Gastro Pub • Great Dunmow
Booked 7 times today
Lunch for six. The welcome, ambiance, welcome and food were all outstanding. The starched napery was a welcome bonus not often seen in pubs (even gastropubs) these days. However, we were very slightly stunned to notice a flier for their 3-course Christmas Fayre at £120pp !! We will certainly return.

Can definitely recommend and would not hesitate to return. Variety of options on the main menu, although if you like your deserts you might find the choice more limited. All dishes were well presented and tasty.
