The best restaurants serving British food in South Hanningfield, Stock and Margaretting Chelmsford East of England

I ordered the Stake and Ale pie and it was amazing. The portion sizes were amazing, absolutely huge also a chocolate brownie which came with ice cream and honeycomb. The owners is amazing and a great laugh. It was amazing service and the food was out of the world. I highly recommend.

Was treated to breakfast for Mother’s Day by my daughter. The building is beautiful, the atmosphere was lovely, the staff were extremely helpful and friendly and the breakfast was exquisite, could not have asked for more. I will definitely be back.

Wonderful country pub. Warm welcome, unrushed service and delicious food. Menu reflects bias toward excellent fish offerings. Good outdoor spaces and ample parking. Very much enjoyed and happy to recommend.

Nice food and even better service.

Went for Sunday lunch with friends. Really lovely venue, beautiful food and a great atmosphere

The rocky road (nuts) was a Christmas take and it was very yummy thanks Nicola would highly recommend maybe the adult cake next time ( Irish cream cake ) regards Roy.

Excellent pub, fantastic food, but unfortunately the patrons can’t park properly! If so many people didn’t leave gaps almost (but not quite) as large as the cars they drive, then you’d probably be able to get another 10 cars in. I would be hesitant to book a table for a Sunday roast for this reason which is unfortunate as it’s a really great pub.

A great restaurant we went with a family of 7 Sunday lunch time two of our party are gluten free which presented no problems as our meals were adapted to suit. Roast was superb as were the other meals served. Staff excellent and always with a smile 😃 well spaced out tables and a excellent ambience to this restaurant. Well done to all concerned 👏👏. Definitely will be returning 👍

We booked a dinner for 6 couples; which is always a challenge for a restaurant. The Hoop were outstanding! Everything was great from both a Food & Service perspective and delivered by a very friendly and attentive team. Thank you for a lovely evening!

Lovely breakfast, very friendly front of house staff!! Lovely flat white coffee and a great place to feed the ducks and go for a walk in the woods!

Food was poor. Ordered pork loin, with parmesan potatoes and seasonal vegetables Pork was so tough and dry, not sure how long it had sat before it was served, I'm guessing by the look of it at least a couple of days. Seasonal vegetables were a tiny portion of cabbage and 2 shavings of carrot, hardly any gravy. I did complain, will not be back again.
