Great atmosphere. Bar staff happy and helpful. Everyone very chatty and pleasant. Good place to go for a drink. It's small but cosy and welcoming. I would go there again.

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.

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

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

I love the food there and the wine I ordered is very fruity. I didn’t give five stars for the service only because a waiter looks very rude and not willing to help to bring another set of cutlery to a seat where I already sat down with my friends. I have to bring that set to the seat that I want to sit. This is a minus in the experience.
