Restaurants in Essex

Far enough from London, but close enough to the rural charms of East Anglia, Essex has made the most of its location and history.

Oysters from Colchester and Mersea Island are part of the county's heritage, likewise cockles from Leigh-on-Sea. The fertile land also produces great fruit crops, which are turned into jams, preserves and juices.

High-profile Essex restaurants revel in razzmatazz: they love a good time and put on live entertainment and special events. Alternatively, chill out in one of the county's eminently civilised country pubs.

Bell Inn - Horndon on the Hill The Bell's location provides the best of both worlds, being set in a rural, picturesque village, yet only 10 minutes from the M25. Construction of the Bell commenced in the fifteenth century

Reeves Restaurant - Felsted A 16th century oak beamed cottage in the centre of a very pretty village; their mission statement is 'beautiful food in a beautiful location'
