Boars Head Pub in Uttlesford

Fantastic place for family evening eatout

Friendly attentive staff, great beer and lager choices and very reasonably priced.

The only disappointment is that they don't have a kitchen anymore. They stopped doing food. Apart from that, it's a nice place to go to have a pint.

Great place, they are the very best It is a must go. Surely kindest people ever encountered.

Barman is always friendly and quick to serve.

Wonderful local pub. Feel welcome even if haven't been for a while 👍🤗

Sadly they have taken London Pride off to be replaced by Ghost ship not my taste! The guy behind the bar told me about the lack of sales etc. Thankfully he assured me Ghostship is short lived to be replaced with Dombar or even Spitfire Whoop whoop

Really lovely pint of London pride accompanied by a nice genuine warm welcome for us and our dog Immaculately clean inside & out

Classic British pub But a little expensive for just a pint

Great little pub. Friendly staff with good banter and very welcoming.

Went to this pub after reading reviews online. Wanted to get a quick bite but apparently they "never served food." Must've gone to a different Boars Head in Less Than Mediocre Dunmow then.

Excellent bar staff great atmosphere no sky football only bt

3 1/2 stars - regular pub in local high street.

Great little pub,nice staff,great beer,great atmosphere 👍🍻

My wife and I were looking for a nice traditional “local” pub in Great Dunmow. There are one or two in Great Dunmow but we liked the look of the Boars Head. I’m not sure that they have a website but I did check on a couple of review sites about what they offered in terms of food and I assumed from what I saw that this would be OK. Unfortunately, even though we weren’t there outside normal lunchtime hours there was no food available when we went. As we eat out a lot, we are aware that some Restaurants don’t open on a Monday at all so maybe this was part of the reason why. We would’ve stayed to have a drink as there is what looks like an attractive outside area. But we’d driven a very long way and were famished and found a local CAFE over the Road! We got a very good vibe from the Boars Head and it looks like the kind of local pub that we would really enjoy. Maybe next time!

The last drinkers' pub in Dunmow. Clean and unpretentious. Use it while it is here.

Geraldine and Patrick have been wonderful to my partner and I. We approached them looking for a quaint, traditional pub for our wedding reception and I cannot be more grateful for how we were treated and our experience with them. The decorations were wonderful, the buffet had been displayed beautifully, and the staff were amazing. Absolutely recommend their services for hire/events, and even just for a quick pint when passing by! So lucky to have a local pub, with wonderful and kind regulars in our town. Thank you all again and looking forward to seeing you again soon!

Great boozer local people great atmosphere

Went to the Boars Head last night with some friends, service was great, friendly staff, great atmosphere too

Tom and Geraldine went above and beyond for the wake of my husband. The organisation, food and service was exceptional. They made it a very personal occasion for all his friends and family and nothing was too much trouble for them. I would highly recommend this venue and its amazing staff. Thank you all very much. Karen and family.

Nice cosy pub with good service

Great bar, exactly how a English pub should be, full of characters, great beer and atmosphere 👍 keep up the good work.

Just a normal real pub, real people .

First visit to the Board Head. Friendly staff and customers. Well kept beer.

Went there for first time today with a friend. Read the reviews of the food, which sounded great, but was disappointed with the menu, very basic, not much choice. Staff were friendly though, lovely decor, but we are elsewhere.

Very good pub friendly staff not far from Stansted airport the pub is in gt dunmow Has regular karaoke once a month on a Saturday night very clean and tidy

Owner and staff were so friendly.Great atmosphere,beer was first class.Will return when next in the area.

Nice old pub with friendly atmosphere. Only negative is that the toilets could do with a re-decoration!

Friendly pub and good for exercising your pipes on karaoke night. Features outdoor seating at the front and rear, as well as outside toilets.

Good old traditional Countryside Pub, i real like, is very small, but very friendly Atmosphere.

Great food, great selection of drink, friendly staff and owner

The welcome like the service was warm and friendly. The atmosphere was convivial and with a free daily paper to read the short time we had to wait passed by in a flash. The chicken and sweet corn soup I have had many times before at various Chinese restaurants, but not like this. The offering was just superb. Streets ahead of the opposition. It was thick, very flavoursome and filling. I did, however, manage to force down the toasted granary tuna melt that came with a fresh and interesting salad. The toasty was well filled and very hot. The soup and toasty came as a combined special deal at £7.50 and was excellent value for money. My partner enjoyed her liver and bacon and cleared the plate. The Boars Head food is known as pub grub, but in reality, it is miles better.

Polite staff. But the food could be better. Quite a wait for the food, and did not receive it at the same time.

I never walk in pubs on my own.. But was there for a reunion and was early. Made to feel very welcome even by the locals🤗🤗🤗. Didn't know they had a car park at the rear, will use it next time 😃

Good Pub, beer was good and food was too

Been coming here for 30 years If you get here b4 6 the real ale is warm been in the pipes for too long@ £4.00 a pint and they don’t pull it through

Possibly the best pub in the village, but the compotion is upto much. The beer was fine, the locals were.... alive. I won't be rushing back to the village

We love going here for the odd beer most weeks. Friendly staff and a wide choice of drinks. This is a locals pub but everybody is very welcome and it has a good, proper pub atmosphere.

We stopped for dinner and a cold beer. Unfortunately meals are not served in the evening so we stayed for some drinks before heading to another restaurant. Nice and cosy outside with good beers to choose from. Service was very good.

Lovely lemon sole goujons for lunch. We sat on terrace. Seems to be a locals pub.

A very stylish pub with a fine selection of beers and a very relaxing atmosphere.

Never used to come in under old management but Helen has made the boars head so much more welcoming, all the staff are lovely, really friendly place!

We have always liked the Boars and the new managers have made it very pleasant. Love to sit out the front with a cold one watching the town go by.

Really friendly staff, very pleasant relaxed atmosphere good night thankyou

Great staff, so much more welcoming now than it was under old management. Good selection of gins and spirits, nice pint, great food. Perfect pub.

We only stopped for a coffee but we were made very welcome. All the staff as before were friendly and polite. The coffee was piping hot and tasted excellent. We were hoping to have a pudding or perhaps a cake with our coffee but we were informed that these items are not on the menu until summer time. Chatting to the chef she said she has some great ideas for tweaking the menu, I look forward to going there for lunch to discover if the high standard that they have set can be maintained. I do hope so.

Had a lovely lunch of proper homemade soup and a filled sandwich. Very good, beer excellent. Very good value for money. Staff very friendly too. It also has it's own car park which we found after we had paid for the car park near the rear of the pub!

It's a pub I first drank in almost 40 years ago & the fact I choose to drink there whenever I happen to be in Dunmow tells you all you need to know. Good atmosphere, good beer.

Great town pub, good beers and honest pub food.

The staff at The Boars Head, like the welcome, and fare was first class. Helen was our waitress and she coped with us changing our order with style and patience. We ordered spicy parsnip soup that was obviously homemade and was absolutely delicious. We had a brief chat with Theresa, the chef, where we complimented her on her efforts. She said they make everything themselves, from the coleslaw to cooking the hams. My baguette was the usual tuna melt with a side of piping hot chips was all served up by Tallulah. Our only complaint was that the cheese and pickle baguette wasn't warmed through enough and she dealt with this in a most efficient and friendly manner. The value was second to none and I look forward to returning there again.

Very friendly local pub ...lovely old building .Nice wines too .

Nice old fashioned pub, friendly staff, but is crowded and busy. Could do with an area with no TV, and would agree with a previous review about locals on stools at the small bar. Beer is well kept and good.

This pub goes back some three or four hundred years and still retains a lot of the old décor. Quite small, with a small out door seating area, on the High street, so a good central location. Will be going back

Great atmosphere and fast service

Great friendly local pub. Felt very welcome

Very good pub with lovely owners and staff 100%

Lovely staff and perfectly situated, great pub!

Only been there once on the motorbike. Nice small pub and friendly staff.Will have to try the food next time.

Best place in town for Guinness.

House-buying criteria: be on a hill and be within walking distance of this landmark pub - centre of Dunmow and centre of the community.

Recently decorated. Relaxing friendly Pub

Tuesday night 10th of October and we were staying the night in the Travelodge in Great Dunmow. We walked into the town, which took a good 15 minutes, to have dinner and a few drinks.

Excellent place and staff lovely pub

Friendly staff, several real ales.

Good place to stop for a drink. Very friendly staff, clean toilets, nice outside areas and in the middle of town. Shame they dont do food.

Popped in for a pint as I had a long wait for my bus,good cold pint of Foster's and friendly bar staff,will go in again next time I'm in Dunmow.

Vibrant, friendly staff. The landlord is a lovely chap, as are his team.

Only go here for football there was a kitchen but no food being served at lunchtime!

Small locals pub. Nothing to complain about. Good prices

do you have an email address please?

Old fashioned Essex High Street Boozer. Not the best day to describe, Xmas Fair Day so rammed and busy. Pretty sharp service though and the rugby on. I was happy.

Este es un tradicional pub boozer siendo un poco anticuada y pulir lo que le da un poco de carácter.

Old charm, good drinking atmosphere, friendly bar staff. Not too yocally. Its a rare gem for not being a gastropub.

Real pub, fun, good beer and sport on tv as well as music. No trouble as well run and friendly... Not a kids pub and no food served but just a down to earth pub.. Oh yes out door toilets lol

very small pub, one staff member is rude and it made us feel very unwelcome. When you walk in everyone stares at you. A locals and regulars pub only I would say. Lowest recommendation here.

great local pub. plenty of entertainment. reasonably priced. very friendly staff and customers. open all day. nice decking area at the back, great in the summer

cuatrocientos años de antigüedad tradicional pub del centro de la ciudad, en la esquina del parque público principal de coche. Este torno y el yeso edificio enmarcadas en madera tiende a dar un poco cuando camiones topar mientras estaba negociando el estrecho Bend fuera. Por dentro son techos con vigas económicos y tres grandes de pantalla plana para el deporte. Hay música en vivo los sábados por la noche. Una zona de tumbonas grande en la parte trasera incluye estar cubierta para fumadores. No hay comida disponible actualmente mientras que la cocina está siendo reformado.

Best pub by far in Dunmow! Staff are lovely and has a great atmosphere!

I went in the pub to have a hot chocolate. Got a very cold response from the barmaid which made us feel uncomfortable. I wouldn`t recommend this pub.

This is a fantastic pub, great beer, food and welcoming staff. I would definitely recommend to others when choosing a pub in Great Dunmow.
