The Bakers Arms in Chelmsford - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We have been collecting Fish & Chips from The Bakers Arms since the start of Covid which has always been fantastic. Tonight on the recommendation of my son, we went and ate in and oh my god, I didn’t think it could get any better but it was amazing. Can’t believe that not having to unwrap them would make such a difference. Well done #TeamBakersArms. Sorry no photos as was too hungry.

Lovely pub, very nice people and very accommodating. Great food too with good options for adults and kids alike. Would definitely recommend.

Well we traveled around essex for 2hrs looking for a pub that serves food on a Monday . Let’s say the 2hrs drive was worth It we starters of with a very warm welcoming We had warm soft bread to start Then for mains I had a large cod which was definitely large and cooked to perfection not greasy or oily the batter was crispy my girlfriend had the steak and ale pie with mash and peas and she said it was spot on ( btw she is the most negative person so for her to say this you know it was good) We finished of with treacle sponge and custard I had cherry Bakewell sponge and custard this was warm and fresh. So all in all a great meal and the price I thought she had made a mistake but no they are priced good If you like cod and chips trust me you don’t wanna miss out here

Wow, we stopped at this pub through luck of passing and it being a little late to get dinner for our family. The angels must of blessed us as the pizza I had was the best pizza I've ever had in my life, my partner had a cod and chips which he rates 10/10 our little ones also had mini cod and chips , it was all so fresh and well presented. Along with the outstanding food the landlady and landlord were so warm and welcoming. We're so thankful we have found such a all round beautiful place to eat and will definatly be returning. Thanks so much!

Fish & chips cooked to order and ready on time for collection. The fish was nice, but the chips were the frozen ones from a packet. Very greasy and not a patch on fresh cut chips. I see that other people like them, but we won't be buying again and will try a proper chip shop next time.

We stopped off here to break our journey to Maldon. Only a small car park but the pub was quiet at the time so that wasn't a problem on a Saturday afternoon. The pub was open for sit down customers, despite the sign outside giving a slightly different impression? In any case, we enjoyed the decor and atmosphere of the pub very much as well as our coffee and soft drinks. A nice stop off from our journey.

This is a local pub for us and we regularly have the fish and chips .We last went Friday and again it did not disappoint . The cod is the biggest and fattest for portion size I have ever had. The batter is light and crisp. It’s so good that I can’t eat fish and chips anywhere else it’s always very stodgy.. We haven’t tried any of the other meals we really go for the cod and chips. The dogs can be about in the bar but are very friendly and are kept out when requested and they are never allowed in the restaurant. This pub is very friendly and welcomes all ages . The beer festivals are good fun too! Long may it continue. Frankie and Phil

A group of us had lunch after a walk around Danbury woods. I had had take away fish and chips previously and was impressed with the quality so suggested we should try their lunch. 4 of us had fish and chips (various fish available) and all cleared their plates and commented how much they enjoyed it. One of our party had the chicken roast, again a cleared plate, good selection of vegetables. Very impressed. My partner and I had veggie/vegan options. A Wensleydale dale leek and cheese and cream tart with sweet potato fries and green beans presented as little bundles. Looked and tasted delicious. I had mushroom cranberry and beetroot tart with a choice of potatoes with beautifully cooked asparagus. These were from the specials board lots of different interesting food to choose. Landlord and lady very friendly and welcoming. All in all we were very impressed and will certainly be coming back and or ordering the fish and chips take away. Definitely recommend.

A fantastic welcome. Great food and lovely hosts. We had a great evening with good service, a great menu choice and a good selection of wines, beers and ales etc.,

Went to maldon today to see some rescue dogs from the AA rescue ( look them up if you want to adopt a dog. They are in Bradwell Essex)and decided to pop in to this pub on the way home with my whole family. Such a warming welcome. Food lovely and definitely recommend the fish and chips. Will be visiting again soon. Wish we lived nearer so it could be our local. See you all soon from the group whose son works at Bookers xx

Visited this little village pub on the off chance today, the food was excellent, nice large portions and friendly service. We would definitely return, as didn’t have room for one of the lovely desserts after our main course. Thank you so much.

Within 10 minutes I felt like a regular- what a great traditional Village Pub . All welcome , children , dogs, regulars and visitors ( I am from New Zealand 🇳🇿) . I will be back tomorrow for sure .

Have been here on a few occasions, with both family and large groups of friends with children. Staff are always extremely accommodating and nothing is too much trouble. Food is always great and the atmosphere is excellent. Highly recommend to anyone

Really want to share how friendly and welcoming this pub is. I don't normally leave reviews but this pub deserves one. Really lovely staff and my children loved it. Great beer garden, dog friendly, child friendly and will be visiting again. Very highly recommended to everyone.

Pub is not too bad for a pint but having used the beer garden and stepped in (one of the several piles of) dog crap there is no way I would take a child there and let them run around unless you want to deal with the inevitable drama of a messy clear up

Visited this pub for the first time last week. Friendly welcome and plenty of space to accommodate our dog too! We both tried fish from the menu - we understand this is a speciality - and it was excellent. Desserts were delicious as well. We will definitely be back as we thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. An excellent find!

Really tasty fish and chips with mushy peas! We phoned ahead and ordered and the food was ready and waiting when we picked it up, lovely staff and nice size portions. We will definitely order again.

Lovely, polite gentleman behind the bar and serving. Lady behind bar was very abrupt and has a rude mannerism. States dog friendly but only if child isn't asleep! Food was average but very soggy. Wouldn't recommend, go further down to The Anchor so much better.

The Fish and chips here are superb! Massive pieces of cod and lovely chips I had the sweet potato chips and they were delicious. Wash it down some uniquely flavoured pints and you will have consumed a very fine meal.

Popped into this pub for a drink while our son was mountain biking over the road with mates and ordered some fish & chips. WELL, possibly the best F&C; I've ever had. Fish fluffy, batter crispy and chips perfect and BIG portions (Ladies, you only need a Small portion). Really welcoming lad behind bar. And restaurant area nice, clean & modern. Will defo be going there again!

We've just come back from the bakers arms the food again was excellent the staff were really friendly and welcoming it was very busy but we still got our food within 10mins lovely place

Second visit here for the Fish & Chips and wow I was surprised as was even better than the first time . Excellent potion . Medium will satisfy the biggest of appetites. Well cooked, fresh ,batter crispy tap your fork on it mmmm amazing and chips outstanding . I went for mushy peas . Tarter sauce really good with the very fresh salad . I can’t recommend it highly enough . Little gem in the village .

went to the beer and cider festival what a wonderful place so friendly this was our first visit we will be back soon

Normally get take away and send the husband in but this time we all sat inside to eat. Omg! I was expecting it to be a old pub style with patterned carpet and a dart board (sorry) but it was lovely and quite modern. I don’t think I’ve ever been to such a clean pub. The owners clearly take pride in their pub and it shows. The food was so fresh and really lovely. Even the side salads were super fresh and we all left full and happy. Will definitely return and I’m excited about discovering this little gem in the heart of Danbury.

Lovely fish and chips. Super friendly landlords. Great little village pub. Would love to see the parking expanded and wish the pub was more inviting from the outside as it really does have a lot to offer.

Just us the best meal we have ever had. The portions were unreal and all the food was just fantastic.

I saw this pub on my way to a delivery and seen that it advertised pizza to takeaway. I decided to have a pint of shandy while I looked at the menu. The alarm bells should have rung when the lady behind the bar asked what a margarita (cheese and tomato pizza) was. I ordered and paid, while waiting there were 2 large dogs behind the bar and in the dining area, this is unhygienic and not what I wanted to see. I waited nearly 30 minutes for a poor excuse of a frozen pizza, not fresh, and horrible rubbery cheap cheese. I was really disappointed.

The pub offered us an evening meal outside their normal hours for Sunday roast plus the normal menu and specials. Everything was perfectly cooked and piping hot,generous portions too. Service was excellent,well done!

Vine aquí con unos amigos recientemente y tenía una comida realmente encantadora, todos tuvimos algo diferente y disfrutamos de nuestra comida. Tuve el pastel de carne con cerveza, sin duda recomiendo este hotel. Lugar limpio y amable, la comida llegó en buen momento y alrededor de £10, si no recuerdo mal.

La casera era preciosa, muy paciente con nosotros como cambiábamos una y otra vez! - y muy acogedor. El gran gigante Twiglet, venía a sentarse dane con nosotros después de haber terminado la comida. Él era el perro más educadas que he conocido - todo lo que él quería era algunas y algunos amor, arrima pero nunca fue exigente. La casera nos aseguramos de comprobar que estábamos bien con él antes de que él, que era muy considerado.

En primer lugar había un enorme perro detrás del bar olía. . . Al ser un restaurante no pedir comida con eso de la higiene. . . También casera era grosero y arrogante y nos sentimos muy incómodos abrupto tuvimos que dejar. . . Nunca ir allí de nuevo tan grosero! ! !

Este pub es similar a el cordero sacrificado en la película American hombre-lobo en Londres, sin embargo la casera es muy amable y servicial, y comida de excelente calidad y buena relación calidad-precio. Me había pescado y patatas fritas, que es su plato y realmente muy bueno. Había una gran variedad de platos recién cocinados todos preparados. Uno de nuestro grupo tenía la lasaña casera y dijo que era fabuloso.

Ambiente agradable y el ambiente en el bar, pero decepción por debajo de lo normal en el "restaurante", incluso "famoso pescado y patatas fritas" no era nada especial. Necesitas como perros bienvenido aquí.

Straight forward pub with a great bar to drink and socialise and a place to dine where the food is good. Dogs are welcome in the bar and are often better behaved than the customers.Staff are very welcoming.Good old fashioned pub.

Our elder son and his wife visited after Christmas so we went to my local for lunch. Our son is averse to fine dining so we thought the Bakers Arms would do fine. I know it well but this was only the first time I had had a proper meal there.The restaurant is in what was the public bar many years ago. It looks out on the pub garden. It has a dozen tables for 2 or 4 but on this Thursday we were the only ones eating. In the bar at the front of the pub there were just two elderly chaps reading newspapers. It was a typical quiet country pub at lunchtime.There is a good choice of dishes plus jackets, sandwiches and so forth. We each had a hot, cooked meal. I can't recall what the ladies had but mine was a vegetarian dish and his was fish and chips. Everyone was delighted with their food.We didn't drink much. It is a Greene King pub but there are guest beers plus about 4 lagers and a couple of ciders on tap.

Lovely table layout for about a dozen friends, great food choice/service. Fish and chips a speciallity and highly recommended. Sunday roast great value. Nothing too much bother and 2 massive friendly pub dogs. Will return.

Having recently moved to Danbury we are working our way around the eateries and this is definitely the best fish and chips! They also do take-away which is as good as eating in. Friendly staff, great service, my grandsons adore the resident dogs. Have yet to try their pizzas.

Having visited Bradwell on Sea we decided to stop into a pub on the way home and came across this "vision in pink" driving through Danbury. So we stopped knowing absolutely NOTHING about the establishment. The young lady behind the bar was very very pleasant. The sign outside said the "The fish and chips in Essex" but as it was Sunday roast dinner was on the menu. As my partner is veterinarian the young lady made a special effort to find something to recommend. As it was a glorious day we went into beer garden to be met by some beautiful dogs, a bull mastiff cross, a great dane (stunning blue /grey)and a little terrier. All 3 so so friendly and enjoy the sunshine. The food was absolutely superb and the portions were huge. Suffice to say if I hadn't have been in public I would have licked the plate CLEAN!!! Will we be back you can be SURE of it!!!!

We think that so many other establishments could learn a huge amount from the genuinely good customer service demonstrated here at The Bakers Arms. They just seem to care. We felt pleased to be there and they seemed to be pleased that we were there too.The Bakers Arms is not part of a pub chain as such but is a tenanted Gray and Sons pub so each will be quite different I guess.The people serving were courteous, cheerful and friendly. They also do some excellent, good value, home cooked food too. If you are in to standardized Macs, BK or KFC you may not appreciate it as much as we did. The fish and chips was excellent. It comes in four sizes. The small is medium, the medium is large, the large is extra large and the extra large (advance notice required) must be just huge. We understand that the extra large is usually ordered as a dare by youngsters! The batter was light and crispy, the cod juicy and fresh, there were enough chips to feed the population of a small village and we had a large good mixed side salad too.There were several good real ales on too including Sharpes Doom Bar. There are two very friendly dogs (the size of small horses) wandering around too. All very informal.Thank you all at The Bakers Arms for all your hard work in giving us a really enjoyable evening. You deserve to do very well. Keep smiling.

Excellent friendly and efficient staff. Cod and chips were brilliant.. The large cod is huge, faint hearted be warned. Coffee not very good, but this is the only negative.

I have been visiting Danbury for the last 30yrs and up until this December hadn't been to the pub.This was our 4th visit but the first time we've eaten there. The food is hot & freshly prepared to order which makes the wait worthwhile & the atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. The fisherman's platter was a delight as two empty plates testified & the portions generous. There's also a good selection of beers & the service is great. There are three resident dogs that for us make this a real pub, they're friendly and happy to talk to you if you're happy to talk to them!Give it a try, I doubt you'll be disappointed.

Went last night for a meal had heard the fish and chips were excellent and so they were, freshly cooked with lovely light and crisp batter. The portion was very generous for a small cod and chips and we couldn't eat it all. The staff were really friendly and welcoming and the service excellent. Other friends have been and said what a good selection of food they have and a really wide choice of beer . Yes there are a couple of big dogs but they are confined to the bar . I'm not a lover of dogs but they weren't at all scary. We will definitely be going again .Very good value for money and We will certainly be going there again

We went out with the intention of eating in a different pub that had been recommended. When we got there we were told "we don't do food on a dart night" so off we went. The next pub we came to was the Bakers Arms. We asked if they did food and the barmaid had no idea and went to check. Yes they did. We had to climb over two very large dogs to get to our table. Every started we ordered was sold out, so was the Lasagna that my husband ordered. Every dessert we ordered was also sold out (We were told they had been very busy during the day - this was a Wednesday)! The barmaid/waitress was very sweet and that's the best thing I can say about the place.

Stopped off here for a couple of pints & bite to eat. Fish & chips (in 4 sizes). I had small coz of big lunch, amazed at size of it. Friend had ribs. Great friendly staff. Fantastic! Worth a visit.

We booked here for lunch as we were going to a get together locally. Initially the host was a little bit frosty but over the course of the lunch, they warmed too us and became friendly. The food was very good, 3 of us had the well known fish and chips and 1 had the roast. The fish and chips were very good and the batter nice and light. The roast portion size was of a good size also although the veg had definitely seen better days and were rather tasteless. Puddings were nice but your standard sticky toffee, crumbles etc... Nothing jumped out as being home made which is a shame. They also didn't offer Latte's only Cappucino's for some reason. The bathroom facilities were good but we only found 1 Ladies & 1 Gents.

An ideal stop if you are hungry or thirsty. Friendly and helpful staff with a good menu and a choice of seating areas including a garden.

Having driven past for years, we finally had dinner here recently on recommendation from a friend and so glad we did. The fish and chips was superb, huge portions and excellent value. The host is lovely, really friendly and helpful, it was a pleasure to be there, oh and the huge dogs were lovely, they stay in the bar, will definatly be visiting again!

I love the food here, especially the fish and chips. If you go to the bakers arms you can not help it but go for the fish and chips!

got a take away. really lovely. massive portions. we had a large fish and large chips and this was enough for the two of uscost less than £10what's not to like!

Came in early (6pm) midweek for a drink and something to eat. Sat in the dining room as the saloon area was full.We had a selection of fish and chips (plaice, cod and haddock) and all three were delicious. My wine was nice (which is often unusual in a pub, sometimes a bit sour) and the men liked their real ale. Seemed friendly enough and was filling up as we left around 8.30ish. It's somewhere we'd happily visit again.

I visited this pub with a few friends last weekend for a couple of drinks, but the pub was such a nice environment everyone laughing and joking, lovely fire, the landlady was extremely welcoming. So we decided to stay for dinner, we sat down and ordered, large cod, haddock, pizza and vegetarian brie tart. The food came out very quickly considering the restaurant was busy, presented brilliantly with a small salad on the side of the plate, the large cod was massive! The batter was so light and crispy, the pizza was lovely thin base loads of flavour, and the tart was so creamy. We were all so full up after the meal we wondered round and sat by the fire had some more wine and enjoyed the rest of our evening (so much so we have actually booked a table for this weekend too). The staff and the locals were all so friendly they made us feel right at home. The toilets were very clean. I have not long moved to Danbury and I look forward to visiting the pub a lot more.

Visited this pub on a Friday lunchtime with my partner. My initial thoughs for the dining area where that it was nicely presented. Within the pub were 4 people drinking in the bar, 2 people eating at the dining area bar and a family of 5 sat waiting. There were no staff on view so we just sat at a table. After being sat down for 5 minutes no staff were seen or made themselves known so I took a menu off the bar. I then waited at the bar for another prolonged period with no staff insight. The regular drinkers were ringing a bell to draw staff attention but to no avail despite them ringing it a number (4) of times. I then decided enough was enough and went to get my partner to leave when a lady staff member came out from behind the bar carrying food for the seated family and offered a half hearted sorry.My tip here would be to avoid this venue during busy periods ( 10 people or more) as you may not get any customer service.I cannot comment on the food, etc but can say the the service was appalling.

The Bakers arms was recommend to us by a friend who had been so we booked a table for twelve of us on a Saturday evening , I remember this pub being scruffy and a bit rough a few years ago but that certainly is not the case now.The restaurant side is tastefully decorated with wood flooring and nice oak tables & chairs , most of us ordered Fish & chips which is available in small med & large , I chose medium with chips & mushy peas and it was a huge plate full , later on in the evening there was live music from a guitar & singer duo who were very good , the bar & the restaraunt were very busy but the landlady & staff coped very well and were very friendly , we will definitely be eating there again soon

I am so glad we found this little gem . Great warm welcome for new people . Its was one of the best cod and chips i've had for a very long time , crispy batter and soft fresh white fish ,, If you are looking for more posh stuff then this is not for you , But i would say if you are looking for a the best battered fish in Essex this is the place to visit . If i had to say anything maybe have the chips on a side plate or bigger plates ... Can't wait for next time

Nice and busy evening as people like us escaped the rain... but despite being busy the staff were as pleasant and welcoming as ever and the fish and chips were extraordinarily good. Our fourth visit in as many months after years of avoidance (bad memories from previous bad landlords) tells us that the landlady has her values absolutely right. Excellent food & beer and you feel very welcome!

We were going onto a social evening and wanted to eat before we went. Excellent service and very reasonable prices, will go again as it easy to walk to.

We regularly have take away fish and chips form the bakers arms. They are always excellent! If you prefer 5 quid frozen fish sitting under hot lights for an hour then go to a local chippy down the road (very average); At the Bakers Arms you get fresh fish battered and cooked to order with Freshly fried Chips. Whilst more expensive than the flake sold down the road, this is a quality product and as such will attract a customer who is after such quailty. Your order will be readly whenever you would like to pick it up although if the Pub is busy you may need to wait an extra 15 min before leaving home to pick it up, remember, its cooked to order. A quality product may take an extra 15 min! have a drink whilst you are waiting! In 5 years of having fish and chips from the bakers arms , they have always been excellent and we highly recommend them.

Don't try saying that quickly if you've spent a lazy afternoon supping the beer!My friends and I had Sunday Lunch today (9th March) in the garden as the sun was shining brightly and we didn't want to miss it - we all know tomorrow could be gale force winds and hail!The lunches were lovely, nothing was too much trouble, and Cayley ran back and forth from the pub to the garden many times for us, always with a smile on her face.The only "incident" involved my dreaded worst nightmare of Elmlea rather than CREAM. Fortuitously I mentioned this before ordering and my lovely vanilla and chocolate cheesecake was saved! I have been promised proper cream next time and this is enough to make me want to return!Seriously though, small pub, and it was almost liking eating at your mates house in the garden, which is a lovely feeling and all was thoroughly enjoyable.We will see you soon Cayley!

Had a nice Sunday lunch. Waitress/owner (?) was very pleasant, everything was good, not rushed or overly attentative. Everything was relaxed and reasonably priced. Will return.

This pub has a traditional pub atmosphere. It is small and cosy with a landlady who makes you feel welcome. It has three good beers and good value for money wines but the fish and chips are excellent. I have never tasted anything as good even at upmarket restaurants.

Despite standing on the main road, pretty in pink and festooned in flowers, the Baker's Arms is still one of Danbury's best-kept secrets. The pub's rough reputation has long gone and it is now a friendly and welcoming pub with well-kept ales and excellent freshly cooked fish and chips. The landlady is a delight, charming and friendly to regulars, whom she regards as "family", and first-time visitors alike. Even the guard dogs (two massive great danes) are friendly. Everyone in Danbury and surrounding villages should try the Baker's ... they won't regret it.

I have been going to the Bakers Arms once or twice a week for the last 35 years so I have seen a few landlords/landladies come and go in that time. Today's landlady, Caley, runs a very tight ship. Coming from pub owning family, she knows the ropes. She has invested a lot of effort into getting the pub the way she wants it. There is a sociable public bar and a bistro/restaurant that takes about 40. There's a pub garden too that the smokers have recourse too. While it is a tenanted pub, Caley stocks a different guest beer each week. Twice a year she organises a beer festival.Dogs are welcome.

Great night had by all, great selection of Ciders an Beers over the weekend. Food was fantastic, more of the same please.... Be mindful of the over affectionate dogs , you may want to take them home... SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL PUB......

stopped off in Danbury after a long cycle from London. the staff were extremely friendly, food delicious, and atmosphere great. couldn't recommend it more! on a summer evening the beer garden is a great place to sit and enjoy a beer.

My wife and I were passing this quaint, homely looking establishment recently and as weather was good decided to pop in for a quick drink. When entering we were more than pleasantly surprised by the large restaurant area, which was clean, modern and airy. We were welcomed warmly by the staff and sat in the large open garden with our refreshments and looked through the menu, although we didn't intend to stay long or eat on first arrival. The menu wasn't huge, but the fish selection excellent, so we decided to give it a try. The food arrived very well presented and the fish we ordered cooked to the highest standard, all freshly made, it was coated in light fluffy batter and the portion size excellent. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the service brilliant. My wife and I were impressed with the standard of food, service and price. We left fully intending to re-visit on our next trip.

I popped here for a takeaway the other night on the recommendation of a friend. I can honestly say it was thoroughly enjoyable. Had a cheeky drink whilst I waited for it to be cooked from fresh. Loved it:0)

I ordered Fish and Chips, Takeaway from here the other day, bearing in mind there is a Fish and Chip shop just 5 minutes down the road, previous experience told me to go here instead. I phoned at 6.30 to place my order, when asked how far away I was, I replied just 10 minutes but they kindly asked if I could wait till 7. So I sat in my car till 7 and went in to collect. Firstly it was on the side in a bag - How long has it been there for and secondly, It cost an extortionate £15.70 for 2 Small Haddock and 1 Small Chips! I didn't complain at all because I still hadn't seen and tasted my food. Once I'd got home, 2 miles away in car; it was cold so had to go in the oven, the fish was tiny and the batter was anaemic. Lesson learnt - never again.

Not as good as the last time I visited , The Bakers Arms , haddock full of bones , chips had been reheated

a really nice lunch was served up at this traditional roadside country pub, i liked it particularly because although it looks a bit old fashioned from outside the actual inside of the pub is very homely and the restaurant is contemporary.the food was very reasonably priced and cooked really well, the fish and chips was amazing, i asked for a meduim and it was a very generous portion, my wife had the chicken and mushroom pie, all home made and lovely, the staff were cheerful and efficient and i will definitely visit again

Have only had fish & chips to take away from this pub/restaurant (on a number of occasions) but excellent quality every time. Also, very friendly service and food always ready exactly on time.

Whether you eat in or takeaway, their fish and chips are excellent. Big portions of fresh fish and light crispy batter freshly cooked-the best in the area. In addition, they have a good range of other food on the menu and pub snacks. They also have some good beers. But the fish and chips are their speciality.

Decided to stop off here after work as the sign always caught my eye about the Fish & Chips.Firstly I only wanted an honest good quality hearty meal to fill a gap and thats exactly whats I got.Quaint old small honest clean pub, addressed by a friendly barmaid who offered advise of the menu, Granted the menu is very small and limited, Also the pub specialises in the Fish & Chips and offers a takeaway service.There is a ledendary claim of extra large cod and chips for £18, large, medium and small options therefore I decided to go for the medium......This was a plate full in it's self therefore how big are the other options?????Yes it was a good plate full with a tasty fresh Cod, hot steaming chips, mushy peas and side salad.The negitive part is that the portion is large therefore unless your a very quick eater then the chips go cold and slightly plate stale, but thats not a bad thing really.Good honest pub grub with big portions

I can't believe Tony from Chelmsford was talking about this Pub/restaurant,I was looking for somewhere to eat and passed this pub whilst travelling home from Malden and stopped off on the off chance and I could not fault the establishment, the staff were friendly and helpful, they informed me that there speciallity is fish so that is what we ordered, the quality was excellent and the portions generous, my only constructive suggestion will be that instead of serving all the meal on 1 plate I personally would prefer the chips in a seperate bowl, my wife who is a fussy eater thoroughly enjoyed her meal too, the wine list whilst not the largest certainly covered our preferencesTo summarise, I would reccomend this pub and will return in the very near future

Overpriced fish and chips ! very click'y atmosphere , if you want good food in Danbury stick to the other two alternatives on the Maldon road , I thought I would give this a go for a change! Unfortunately not worth the effort or the money come to that!

My partner and I tried this pub for the first time and loved the fish and chips! its a lovely pub nicely decorated with friendly attentive staff. we will be visiting again 10/10

Came out with another couple for a nice Friday evening meal and drinks. We were not disappointed. The restaurant area is clean and has a fresh modern decor, and the service is friendly and efficient. We had all ordered the fish and chips and were happy to tuck in to the best ones that are served in this area. Really delicious, well presented and generous portions. There are many other choices on the menu by the way, and if you just want a drink there is a separate bar area. The beer is very well kept according to my husband and his friend, both of whom are particular about their beers.There is a garden for use in good weather, and a small car park, but the village has plenty of evening parking by the duck pond or in the public car park opposite the library.
