The Rabbits is a family friendly gastro pub & restaurant in the heart of the essex countryside. We pride ourselves on good friendly service and good quality homecooked food with our seasonal menus, we serve real ales, fine wines & premium spirits. We have a great beer garden where you can take in the picturesque views whilst not having to go too far to order any food or drink as this can all be done at our garden bar which is also playing background music around our garden, this is open Thurs-Sunday throughout the spring/summer weather permitting. There is a childrens play area and we also welcome dogs in our garden and inside the bar area. The Rabbits Team look forward to seeing you soon.

    Nice place to eat for a Sunday afternoon but unfortunately let down by the food. Plates are quite small for the good size food portions but the food itself was a bit of a letdown. The apple crumble was particularly bad, it appeared the apples were out of a Tin and finished with breakfast granola. Potatoes did not appear to be roasted or may have been pre roasted and reheated! Sorry but this is not what we expected !

    Think the pub has changed hands. Menu was smaller, service was inexperienced and slow. Specials meals were tasty. But no non alcoholic gins or mocktails which was a regular on the drinks lists before.

    The roast at The Rabbits is the best and is very good value for money. Highly recommend to everyone. You must also try the sharing roast platter.
