Independently owned; our status as one of the few remaining free houses in Essex affords us the ability to offer a huge variety of seasonal beers, wines and food. The pub is very well known for its ever changing real ale selection, with gravity fed Guest Beers sourced from some of the countries finest Micro-Breweries sharing the bar with some more established National brands.
Seasonal availability dictates our menu’s and daily specials are always available alongside our regular menu. We strive to source as many ingredients as possible from Essex and using local suppliers wherever possible.
Once again The Olde Dog Inn has been voted by OpenTable diners as one of the best. Thank you so much to all our customers that dined with us and left a review.
The Olde Dog Inn beer garden has undergone a huge transformation. Live music, children’s play area, outdoor bar and food options make it a great place to spend a sunny afternoon with the whole family.
The outdoor bar is open weekends (weather depending) from late May – September
Dogs are welcome in one area of the pub “The Dog House” – Please make sure to tell us if you are bringing a dog when booking due to lack of availability. Only Guide/Assistance dogs are permitted in our restaurant. Due to the age and nature of the pub we would like to make customers aware that unavoidably there are different levels to both the ceiling and floor.
