Not long been taken over, new managment, every time ive been in the beer is great, they now do food and its cheap, decent pub grub. A real good 'local'.
|
Let down badly after booking a table 2 weeks ahead and confirming the booking two days, on arrival was turned away as they said they were full, although there were tables vacant they stated they ran out of food.
I shall not be using this pub for food again considering the long journey, and it should be noted if you are intending booking that it may not be honoured and you need to be aware of this.

Very pleasant people, a lovely pub, best in the village

Driving through Coggeshall en route to somewhere far away, we picked one of the several pubs on the main drag at random.
The Fleece has a nicely preserved old-style pub atmosphere. It was a bit quiet when I went in with three friends early doors Saturday evening, but people started drifting in.
After the four of us sat down, a bloke came over and put a bucket of popcorn on the table for us! How sweet! Anyway, we all went on about how we didn't really like popcorn, but we managed to eat most of it nonetheless.
We had to go, but were disinclined to leave, so a quick drink became two, then three, then four before we left town, probably forever.
We didn't try any of the other pubs in this small town/large village, but they all looked welcoming on a dark December night.
If ever you're out Essex way you could do a lot worse.
