The Ducane

The Village, GREAT BRAXTED, Witham, CM8 3EJ

Forming part of a village that was displaced by Lord Du Cane in the 19th century, this friendly, modern-looking pub was built in 1935 and is the domain of award-winning chef Jonathan Brown. Refurbished with style and flair by Jonathan and partner Louise Partis, expect a warm welcome, local Maldon ales at the bar and innovative menus that champion local produce and local suppliers, including Braxted beef and lamb, Colchester oysters and seasonal goodies (plums, quince, pears and figs) from the gardens and allotments of local residents. Typical dishes may include sea bass with scallops and bean and herb salsa, beef fillet with creamed peppercorn and brandy sauce, rabbit pie, braised Wicks Manor pork belly, and chocolate terrine with chocolate sauce and walnut ice cream. Great value set menus and don't miss the roast on Sunday. One to watch…!

Excellent meal as one would expect from an award winning restaurant, looks like a pub but top quality food and service. Recommended by friends well worth the visit, London food at rural prices. You have to try this place out.
