It’s another lovely day for a country walk in Essex and funny how such walks often end up here. Fairly quiet at 4pm, with much yachting talk at the bar.

Proper summer weather today and, with an open day at the nearby yacht club plus a frenzy of rambling going on, it is busy busy in here.

Sunday lunchtime and the pub is already busy with diners at 12;45. Then a large CTC group arrive and pack out the garden.

My first visit to this fine pub since it came over all Greene King a few years ago. Quiet and timeless in the mid-afternoon and great reward for a ten mile hike.

The pub is found in North Fambridge, Essex, CM3 6LR.

An attractive, weather-boarded, fifteenth century, riverside pub in Ferry Road. The ferry over the River Crouch has not operated for a great many years, but this pub continues to serve the village as well as yachting types and ramblers. It is a multi-roomed house, with a modern conservatory extension. The tiny public bar has a York stone floor and the rooms off are low-ceilinged with wooden beams. Grade II listed and had a massively expensive upgrade in 2021.

We have visited this pub 4 times, seen 5 different beers and tried 2 of them.
