   Great Sunday lunch! The best I have had in a while. Oooooh, the gravy!!! If I had one small gripe, it would be for crispier roast potatoes and ditch the mashed potatoes- not needed. No room for pudding, so I can’t comment on that. Definitely, go back!

   Cannot fault anything about our experience. Food, service and staff were fantastic and went above and beyond to ensure our evening ran smoothly. All had different main meals and all plates were cleared. Absolutely fantastic and will definitely return.

   The Shepherd always offers a fantastic range of meals for very reasonable prices. Food is always quick and top quality and the staff are always incredibly friendly and efficient.They are also dog friendly which is a big bonus for us as we have a little puppy. One of our favourite pubs for sure!

   The food was delicious & the staff were friendly & attentive. It was quite quiet, being early on a Thursday evening, but there were other diners & a couple of group having a socially distanced gathering.

    This is a fantastic local pub and restaurant. Great modern country decor and imaginative menu. Friendly service and lots of daily specials. It was quieter than normal on the first day of Essex tier two status so lacked some of the buzz it normally has, but the waitress couldn’t have been more helpful. Good for seafood (crayfish, moules, fish and chips) but the meat is equally good. The short rib beef was oozing with flavour and succulence. Good local ales on tap. No room for dessert sadly but their own blend of coffee was full of flavour and would beat any high street chain any day. Take your household bubble here while you can!
