"Superb smoked meats and lovely chips, will definitely be back, a welcome difference from usual pub grub. Reasonable prices, friendly welcome."
We popped into the pub after a 5 mile walk around Shalford on a very cold day. A lovely warm fire and a cosy atmosphere greeted us and we immediately felt welcome.. we enjoyed well kept pints of Colchester Metropolis and Greenjack Nightingale. The highlight was the food though. Huffers with beef brisket and chips. Chicken Caesar wraps with Chips. I had what I had only read about in the books of James Lee Burke a Shrimp Po’ Boy it was excellent. And did I mention the chips?up there with the best we’ve ever had. A visit to this pub might actually make you move to Shalford.
You must try the Huffers. A sour dough type baked roll stuffed with either, beef brisket, shrimp po-boy, chicken parmigiana, and more besides. Excellent chips and quite possibly the best homemade BBQ sauce ever. The menu maybe small but it is absolutely worth stopping off for a great lunch, in this cozy little pub. Plus there's a lovely big open fire. Definately one to remember when passing though this part of Essex in future. Oh and the landlord and staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. Plus Boydells farm is just around the corner.
This restaurant offers fantastic food, including delicious smoked meats served in wraps and sandwiches straight from their onsite smoker. Their chips are a must-try and worthy of a return visit on their own. The restaurant is housed in a charming and historic pub with a large central fireplace and serves authentic cask ales. The staff are friendly, the food is top-notch, and the beer selection is excellent. All of this is set in a beautiful old building, making it the ideal village pub experience.
We have been to this pub a few times and can’t rate it highly enough. Staff are friendly and welcoming, the food is amazing, the beer choice excellent and the whole environment is warm and cosy. They have recently started doing breakfast aswell and I have to say it is one of the best, if not THE breakfast I’ve ever had. Highly recommend the local homemade BBQ aswell, it’s awesome.

The team at this restaurant is doing an excellent job, as we have visited multiple times already. The smoked meats are amazing, especially in the traditional Essex rolls. The staff are very friendly, and the atmosphere with the lit fires and pool table is delightful. It definitely feels like a gathering place for the community once again.
We had a wonderful experience at this charming and traditional village pub. The staff were very friendly and made us feel welcomed. Our meal was delicious and we enjoyed the cozy atmosphere with the log fire.
The service at this restaurant was excellent during the lockdown period! I highly recommend the nachos, fish and chips, and the steak and ale pie. The Shalford ale available for takeout was also delicious!
Focused menu, simple and excellent! The locally smoked meats are outstanding with best chips ever! Great selection of ales and a lovely, friendly local environment, which our dog loves! You must try it!
