Gorgeous meal here this lunchtime. Really welcoming, nice log fire lit, really efficient lady behind the bar & gorgeous food. My other half says “a cracking pint of brown cow, bang on” We’ll definitely be back

Great little village pub, cosy in winter, pleasant in summer with small beer garden at the front. Good food, friendly staff, good beer. The only thing is no car park and on street parking, but that is the only niggle!

Amazing meal and service on Friday night. The venison pie was absolutely incredible, some of the most tender meat I’ve ever tried. Staff were all lovely and it was so nice and cozy 😃

We only came for a drink after a walk. There were 6 in the party and we were made very welcome. We thought it would be nice to go back and have a meal as it was such a lovely pub.

Saturday lunch for 2 + our dog. Proper pub. Cosy, roaring fire and friendly helpful staff. We had steak and peppercorn sauce and the Stilton chicken. Both delicious. Too full for dessert but the dessert options sounded delicious. Will be back again

Very welcoming pub. Young girl behind bar. Very welcoming and very hard working. We Came in for 7 days on a trot and spent loads of money on drinks and food. Ate most days. Manager in charge on this day. We asked for more Stilton sauce. Waited 20 minutes. Asked owner twice where the sauce was and said very rudely look it’s busy. Very rude and abrupt Bring the young girl back. I understand she can’t work 7 days a week. But from what we see. She keeps the pub going. Owner. Very Rude rude rude. Couldn’t run this lovely pub without her.

Up to the 7th day of going to the church inn for food and drinks. I asked for extra sauce as food was dry. Waited 20 minutes. Told them I didn’t want anymore as it was extremely dryer and gone cold. Female owner came over and complained that I was talking to others about bad food. She didn’t care as had other negative complaints before. When leaving. The male owner came outside and intimidated me and my partner about our complaint. Came up to my face and spoke to me in a bad angry manner. Glad only visiting but was not a great experience for our Christmas holiday.

Hidden gem. Stopped by after a December walk. Great range of beers and ales, reasonably priced and local in many cases. Friendly staff. Very helpful. Food took a little while as it was clearly cooked from scratch and with care. Very reasonable price for such fantastic quality. Would highly recommend.

What a cracking little pub! We were made to feel most welcome, with both locals and staff alike friendly and chatty. My coeliac husband enjoyed a choice of gluten free beers on tap (we only discovered one of them was gluten free by accident, as the staff weren't aware). The pub quiz was also great, with good crack from the local teams. We ate at the pub once and popped down for a pint on a few other occasions while we were staying in the village. I would definitely recommend booking in advance if you want to eat, as it's a popular destination.

We've been to The Church Inn a couple of times now, first just for coffee and cake, then for lunch. Delightful, friendly & comfortable both times. Obviously popular with the locals. Has a pleasant outside seating area too. A bit of a "hidden gem" though - on the edge of the village by the church (surprisingly enough!). Highly recommended! Hope to return soon.

Lovely pub, great location and worth a visit. I had lamb moussaka. It was presented in a smallish bowl on the plate. There was little in the way of taste, lamb mince and abverguine, and it was bulked out with potatoes!? favour was ok. My partner had fish pie, again, baby prawns was her only gripe, plenty of fish and nice flavours. Pudding were, summer crumble and custard, and bread and butter pudding, both were lovely. Other meals coming (burger) out looked epic. If I was local, I'd try again. Nice staff.

Rather bland but pleasant food and noisy table (due to a group of loud men next to us), made up for by the very friendly and engaging landlord. A beautiful pub which I'd be proud to call my local. Props to the landlord for showing up the grumpy, stuffy landlords of Essex and Cambridgeshire by smiling and spending time to talk to us. I hope to be back when I'm next in the area.

They do a fantastic roast dinner here and have a wide selection of guest ales & ciders. Being the only pub in the area, it gets quite busy! But this makes a wonderful 'local' atmosphere and, somehow, the small number of bar staff manage to make everything work smoothly out front for an overall excellent service!
