Bull Inn in Rochford

23/02/2020: On a Friday lunchtime, we remembered The Cherry Tree. I’m so glad we did. We used to go there ages ago under the previous owners and were sorry that it hadn’t been doing so well, prior to closing down. It’s back! Refurbished and more enticing than before to sit and have a drink and a meal. There was a choice of bar meals, where you ordered at the bar and the waiter bought the food, or full waiter service in the restaurant. We went for the restaurant. Both were the same menu. The food was good pub food, well cooked and well presented. The service was good, very friendly all round. The menu was varied and everything was reasonably priced. I had the catch if the day, fish. Absolutely delicious. Hubs had the local recipe sausages. He was very impressed. There’s also a ‘smaller plates’ menu, great if you haven’t got a big appetite or want to go for the full blown meal. We’ll definitely add The Cherry Tree to our list of regular haunts. A lovely refurbished return to the local area.
