Our Menu – A proper country pub showcasing local Essex produce.

We are a traditional country pub in the Essex countryside and we believe great food starts with great ingredients. That’s why our menus are built around the salt marsh grass-fed, high-welfare beef and lamb from our very own farm, just a few miles away. We pair this with produce from a trusted network of local growers, butchers, and artisans who share our values of quality, sustainability, and seasonality.

Our menu changes regularly to reflect the best of what’s available and is freshly prepared by our chef, Lee — always hearty, always honest, and never overcomplicated. Expect proper pub classics, elevated with proper ingredients. And don’t skip pudding — our desserts are homemade in our kitchen every day.

If you’re looking for an Essex foodie destination or a welcoming Essex pub serving real food with real flavour, you’ll feel right at home here.

Always check the specials board in the pub.

Sunday Roasts @ The Prince

If you are looking for an Essex country pub for a Sunday roast, then rest assured that roasts are a big thing for us here at the Prince of Wales. We take great pride in the meat we choose. Our roasts are hearty with all the trimmings. We offer two types of roasts each week plus a vegetarian option. They are served with all the trimmings. The beef and lamb is from our farm. We source the pork from White Gates Farm and chicken from Sutton Hoo. Here is an example roast dinner.
