The hot salt beef sandwich was exceptional and great value. The only thing stopping service getting 5 stars was my friend ordered a Heineken but received a zero alcohol one by mistake (she was too shy to ask for it to be replaced ?)

An excellent find only stone's throw from Epping. Good food, especially the home made Apple Pie?

Steak and Kidney pie is beautiful.

Very cute old pub, just off the M11 junction at Harlow. Very tasty chips and cheese and pickle sandwich. Lovely old black lab wandering around.

Decent Sunday lunch and nice

I took my mum for Sunday lunch. We go out most Sundays and often return to places we like. Although we had visited the Rainbow and Dove before, it had only been during the week. Sadly, the service was dreadful. We waited 45 minutes for our starter and when I asked how long it would be, I was told they were short-staffed. I appreciate that can be a problem, but maybe take less bookings if you can't provide a good service or, at least, inform customers when they book or when they arrive! My drink order was completely forgotten! What disappointed me the most, however, was when it came to paying. The bill was £62.50. Reasonable. I paid cash and put £70 (in notes) on the table with the bill. It was swiftly collected and.... Well, that was it! I full intended to pay the full £70 despite the bad service, but that the waitress assumed it was a tip and made no attempt to bring me change is appalling. That's more than 10% for service that was well below par! Perhaps, I should have said something, but who wants to cause a fuss? As we left, the waitress said goodbye. She wasn't busy - so no reason she couldn't offer me change - and clearly not grateful. I won't be returning! The food? Thai fishcake and steak and kidney pie. It was okay. Not food to rush back for and not food to avoid. The service, however, was a different story!
Lovely steak & kidney pie & chargrilled lamb. Looking forward to going again ???

Love this place. Never

Amazing. Didn't look very promising from the outside but it was warm and welcoming. Staff were attentive and nothing was any trouble. Special grilled Plaice was HUGE and so yummy with chips and peas and home made tartare. I felt obliged to further test the menu with a choice of ice creams, not the standard fayre. Mum loved her ham egg and chips and we will most definitely come again if not just to say hello to the lovely black lab who said hello to everyone. Marvellous.

Great food, nice people and a lovely cozy pub. Definitely recommend. Especially if Stilton (the Lab) is around.
