The Cricketers, Clavering, Nr Saffron Walden, Essex, restaurant review

We stayed in the Cricketer’s accommodation for two nights in December when we had the thick snow all over the UK, and it was freezing, but the rooms, pub and restaurant were warm and cosy with a log fire in the bar area, and lots of places to sit, drink and dine in various rooms. [...]

Review of the Peldon Rose pub and restaurant, Peldon, Essex

Peldon Rose Essex seafood risotto

This cosy pub/restaurant was a warm, friendly place to go in late September, and the service was very efficient, but the food variable. The menu consists of British favourites, plus some other more exotic choices, for those who like a change – great if you go here regularly.

We started with [...]

Beefeater restaurant review, Colchester, Essex

We visited this restaurant only because we were attending the X Factor event for Olly Murs nearby, but it was pretty good. I have been to Beefeaters a few times, and this is one of the better ones locally, including the Haywain, as I found the Watermill very average. It’s basic grills and dishes, but [...]
