Bell Inn
The renowned 15th-century coaching inn, distinguished by its beamed bars adorned with wood panelling and carvings, has been under the continuous management of the same family since 1938. A unique feature of this establishment is its hot cross bun collection, which has seen a new bun added every Good Friday for over a century. The inn offers a selection of beers, including a regular brew and three guest beers, with ales sourced from local Essex breweries. The inn's restaurant, which has been recognized for its exceptional cuisine, is open daily for both lunch and dinner. Given its popularity, it is recommended to make a reservation in advance. In addition to its dining offerings, the inn also hosts gourmet nights, with further details available on their website. For those looking for a place to stay, the inn provides accommodation in its 26 comfortable and well-appointed bedrooms.
