Paws, pints and plenty of fuss.

We love welcoming four-legged visitors just as much as their owners. After a walk through the beautiful Essex countryside, there's always room for a well-behaved dog to settle down while you enjoy a drink or a bite to eat.

Water bowls are always available, and don't be surprised if a few treats appear too.
