Historic Interior

Historic 15th centuary timbered inn retaining many original features. A games room with bar billiards, snug, front and back bar with restaurant area provide a characterful ambience. Real fires in winter and a sunny courtyard for warmer weather provide a relaxing year round atmosphere. A selection of locally sourced food prepared to the highest standard is allways on offer. Nearby walks along the Blackwater estuary make the pub a popular venue with ramblers and birdwatchers.

Information for this venue is provided by the Maldon and Dengie Branch of CAMRA

One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: II

A 16th-/17th-century pub which in Victorian times comprised the little-changed public bar and tap room plus the wide red and black quarry-tiled passageway running from the front door. Both tap room and public bar have Victorian bar counters. The public bar has a splendid fitted settle forming a partition on the passageway side; it has some windows at the top and bench seating attached. Partitions like this existed in great numbers in pubs throughout the country but are now very rare. This small room has an old brick fireplace, old dado panelling with benches attached and a part tongue-and-groove ceiling. The large rear bar came into use during the inter-war years - the counter is one of the lowest in the country! The other two rooms were residential accommodation before becoming public areas.

Both tap room and public bar have Victorian bar counters. The public bar has a splendid fitted settle forming a partition on the passageway side; it has some windows at the top and bench seating attached. Partitions like this existed in great numbers in pubs throughout the country but are now very rare. This small room has an old brick fireplace, old dado panelling with benches attached and a tongue-and-groove ceiling over part (possibly the area to the right near the bar was a cellar in the distant past?).

The large rear bar clearly came into use at a later date, possibly in inter-war times. The floor is much higher than that of the bar so the counter is one of the lowest in the country! This room has one old panelled wall and a 1930s brick fireplace and has been extended to the rear. The rear right small room was formerly part of the domestic accommodation and is still like someone's front room with its armchairs and small early-20th-century tiled fireplace. The far right small room near the entrance has also been brought into use fairly recently.
