Went to a friends birthday here and the pub-supplied buffet was awesome. Not one Aldi dipper in sight. Hand made prawn sarnies in thick bread, black pepper chicken thingies but I can’t remember how many of those cheeky toad-in-the-hole bad boys I ate! Brilliant food by brilliant staff. Thank you!
Lovely food, welcoming staff, very clean and lots of open space. Very nice beer garden. Sometimes it's really nice to put an audiobook on and enjoy a lovely Sunday roast. Three courses for £15 and the food is really good so definitely worth.
Came for Sunday dinner after visiting Harry Potter World. A handy location. Food was ok, the mini dessert and tea was very good. All staff were very nice. Lisa served us and she very friendly and professional. 5 stars for Lisa.
The Essex arms is the best place ever. Food is fantastic and the staff are friendly and approachable. I spoke to a curly hair barmaid and she was very knowledgeable on the menu and the drinks list. Not sure what her name is however she works Tuesdays. I would highly recommend and will be returning.
Lady said they don’t have straws cos of covid ?? Surely straws are more hygienic? Cocktails taste of water Then I ordered avocado and it didn’t come with the food had to ask for it Then it came and it looked like leftovers from another person’s plate see pic Prices are decent but ‍
Christmas day dinner can only be described as a disaster. Understaffed and poor service. Food looked like it had been thrown on the plate and one bowl of veg between eight people. Bread missing from soup, desserts came at different times to rest of table. When served told to move out of the way so they could put plates down. Arguments between staff and other customers. Customers told to shut up and get on with their meal. Won't be going back next year that's for sure! Definitely not worth the money paid.
My husband and I have been going to The Essex Arms for many years. Today we went there for lunch as a treat, drank half our drinks and then left. They hadn't got the grill turned on , so no grilled food. Really disappointed as it means no mixed grill, my husbands favourite. Came away really unhappy as going out for us is very, very rare, because my husband is very frail and ill. Goodness knows if we will get the chance again.
The Essex Arms is a cosy pub with fireplaces and comfortable chairs. It's a good place to visit with families and has a welcoming and homely atmosphere. Aesthetically, it is by far my favourite pub in the area and well worth the 30 minute walk from home. The food is fairly standard pub grub and tends to be slightly overdone and dry, and sometimes a bit small in terms of portions, although the portion size was decent this visit. The staff are friendly and helpful but the pub can sometimes be very busy and appeared to be understaffed on this occasion. It took a long time to be served at the bar and the staff appeared stressed. We have visited here for a pub quiz several times in the past and enjoyed this. Overall, it is a good establishment for decor and atmosphere.
Arrived at a busy time of day and was greeted but a pleasant member of staff, ordered food and drinks expecting a wait for the food, food arrived in good time and was spot on, will definitely return. And I feel we are supporting an industry that is struggling to fine good quality staff, but the Essex Arms management seems to have got it right, look forward to seeing you again.
I’m a regular on and off at this local pub. I tend to go to The Prince George on St Albans Road, Bricklayers Arms in Flaunden, Prime Steak in Chandlers Cross or Cricketers in Sarratt because nothing can go wrong over there if it does they will sort it out. I have experience in cooking high end food ie. for European Union and celebrities in the past. My son and I ordered a mixed grill today and a third of the rump steak was stingy fat. I explained this to the waiter. My advice to the staff is to address this issue with your customers and ensure it doesn’t happen to the next customer. Unless your customers tell you problematic issues, you might never know. No one came to me to acknowledge the problem with the steak or apologise even though I showed it to the waiter. Food is a hit and miss at Essex Arms and certainly roast potatoes are roasted then microwaved etc. Staff are also a hit and miss depending on who is duty. For example last week we had chicken wings with buffalo sauce and I must say I couldn’t feed that to my dog and we left. As locals we want to support you but it’s crucial you engage with your customers to address onsite complaints no matter how small they maybe.
