The heart of historic Thaxted!
This charming traditional pub boasts an impressive selection of real cask ales, refreshing lagers, wine, spirits and delightful cocktails. Enjoy a meal or just a drink in our stunning courtyard garden, especially on a sunny day, and grab one of our covered spots like The Cosy and The Snug when the sun goes down - and yes, furry friends are welcome too!
Our mouthwatering meals are served six days a week from a traditional pub menu. Joint-owner and Head Chef, Leon, believes in serving delicious, freshly prepared food from locally sourced ingredients - from burgers and traditional fish & chips to home cooked Sunday roast, there’s something for the whole family.
