Moorhen, Harlowback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
bland, poorly cooked food, no decent beer when I was there, and everything was just untidy. Waste of a good location

Myself and 30 other walkers were booked into a pre-arranged (by our boss) lunch buffet and a round of drinks after our first ever Saturday Social amble through the surrounding Harlow/Sawbridgeworth countryside. Despite the negative remarks below I have to say "Well Done" to the staff and management who provided a more than adequate array of basic but tasty finger-food on time. Everything except the guacamole was top-notch and provided to our outdoor tables without a grimace.
The beer does need a cuddle though - if they stuck a few well-kept local brews (NOT the usual 'major label' cream ales etc) then they may create an oasis in a desert of decent pubs. There is a wide choice of lagers plus Guinness, Strongbow and IPA. It's not an awful pub, it just needs a bit of thought with the beer side of it - the location is prime for real beer without resorting to serving braised lamb shanks with a red onion and cranberry jus for �16.99...again keep it simple. Thanks again for the efforts! We may well be back soon!!

They've managed to get just about everything wrong here. It could be so good, but it isn't. It's the place where all the single parents take their brats, who are made welcome. The parent(s) rarely more than one, can then get pissed up.
The food is terrible, so is the beer.

Don't go unless you are taking kids under 10, in which case it's a great pub. Can be very pleasant in the summer sitting by the Stort Navigation watching the boats go by, even though the beer is mediocre at best. Food poor unless you like overcooked reheated pub "fayre".

BORING

Terrible mock tudor fun pub.Too many screaming kids, over-priced, poor beer and food. A good example of what a pub should not be like!
