Graham Coombs left this review about The Essex

The outside appearance is an old thatched inn, but inside is a Mediterranean-themed restaurant, fairly light and bright and leading through to a pretty outside area behind. Continuing the theme, the small bar on the left sadly only offers such delights as Peroni, although it apparently sometimes has a few bottles of local ale. Definitely missing some opportunities here.

This is classed as a Restaurant and free house and although mainly catering for diners there is an area for drinkers on the left of the entrance close to the bar.
