The George Inn - Braintree

We have been to this pub a few times and can’t rate it highly enough. Staff are friendly and welcoming, the food is amazing, the beer choice excellent and the whole environment is warm and cosy. They have recently started doing breakfast aswell and I have to say it is one of the best, if not THE breakfast I’ve ever had. Highly recommend the local homemade BBQ aswell, it’s awesome.

The best bbq sauce and lovely smoked meats are the first thing you should order. It's a lovely old pub with a roaring fire and welcoming staff.

We popped into the pub after a 5 mile walk around Shalford on a very cold day. A lovely warm fire and a cosy atmosphere greeted us and we immediately felt welcome.. we enjoyed well kept pints of Colchester Metropolis and Greenjack Nightingale. The highlight was the food though. Huffers with beef brisket and chips. Chicken Caesar wraps with Chips. I had what I had only read about in the books of James Lee Burke a Shrimp Po’ Boy it was excellent. And did I mention the chips?up there with the best we’ve ever had. A visit to this pub might actually make you move to Shalford.

Superb smoked meats and lovely chips, will definitely be back, a welcome difference from usual pub grub. Reasonable prices, friendly welcome.

Focused menu, simple and excellent! The locally smoked meats are outstanding with best chips ever! Great selection of ales and a lovely, friendly local environment, which our dog loves! You must try it!
