We visited today and glad we had booked! We received a very warm greeting at the door and were shown to a good sized table with large comfortable chairs. Even though the beamed ceilings are low it did not feel claustrophobic. The decor is tasteful, and everywhere was clean and neat. The tables are not too close to each other and positioned so that it didn’t feel like a canteen. We were greeted warmly by a lady who took our drinks order. These arrived swiftly. Our food order was taken promptly and we were impressed that she checked for any allergies first. We went for the roast with a trio of meats. There were chicken, pork and beef. Each of these were cooked to absolute perfection. Homemade...
An old fashioned pub with a bar area and a restaurant area. You can eat in the restaurant with table service waitress) or eat in the bar area with bar service you order at the bar). We had a nice table for two in the bar area next to a lovely log fire. Clearly a very popular venue with a mix of pre booked parties and those who just decided to turn up on the day. Dogs are very welcome. Good quality food we had traditional fish and chips and fish cake and chips both £16 £17) with a soft drink each totalling £41.40. I was therefore surprised that 2 x small sparkling waters plus a single dash of lime must be around £8. My fish was in a lovely light batter with well cooked chips. The pea puree wa...
We visited for a special birthday as a family. The pub is warm and cosy, and very inviting. We were using a birthday voucher, and the waitress was happy to explain what we could have from the menu, which was very helpful. I was impressed by the cocktails (2 for £14 the passion fruit martini was very good. The scallop starter was probably the best scallop dish I’ve ever had so yummy, seasoned really well, and hot! The steak main was ok (big! but quite a lot of fat and a bit ropey. Lots of choices for the kids meals, which was good. The desserts were very good the trio especially ticks all the boxes. The service was really good, even when they were busier than normal. Would have given 5 stars...
We just happened to be in Battlesbridge Popped into The Hawk for dinner. Had drinks at the bar then greeted by Susan (Sue) who showed us to our table Sue could not have been more welcoming OMG The food for starters we had the scallops and the pate. Our mains linguine with clams and 10oz steak with beef dripping sauce (you’ll never have better) was fantastic Every course was checked on by Sue to make sure everything was ok Sticky toffee pudding with ice cream for dessert rounded of a perfect evening Every member of staff had a smile on their face and a bounce in their step Only thing missing was the chefs coming out of the kitchen for a bow A Great Experience. Thank you all. Pat Bob (6th Nov...

I’ve visited here about 4 times since April ‘23 and have enjoyed every single time. Their drinks, particularly their martinis, are outstanding and the food is insane! We love the fish and chips and the buttermilk chicken burger, and their desserts are to die for. The place is normally quite busy but always cosy and enjoyable. Staff are busy but always friendly and approachable. Prices are reasonable
Cant believe ive never been here sooner.Came here for dinner the night before our holiday away.Loved the food we had and the service we received.Its a bit expensive but soooo worth it.Will be back soon with the father in law.Also love the whole design/layout of the pub.
On our way home from a day out with the grandkids we found this lovely pub, who managed to fit us in at short notice. The food was wonderful, as was the service. The staff were all very friendly would definitely recommend this place
Very poor service. Food was good but after finishing starter and main we were left for 45 minutes with plates still on table and no member of staff even glancing in our direction, never mind asking if we wanted to see desert menu.
