The Sun Inn - Pub in Essex
High Street, Dedham, Colchester, CO7 6DF, Essex
England,
United Kingdom
You couldn't hope to wash up in a better spot, an idyllic village in Constable country with this lovely inn at its centre. Inside, you find an easy elegance: a panelled lounge comes with sofas, armchairs and open fires - a good spot for afternoon tea; the bar, made from a slab of local elm, is usually propped up by locals. You eat in the beamed dining room on food that has excellent provenance. Perhaps pickled sardines with rhubarb and soda bread followed by skate wing and Jerusalem artichokes. There are excellent steaks, moreish bar snacks; the cheeses are local and children can have small portions of whatever they fancy. If you come as a group the 'feast' menu has an exciting and inventive choice of sharing plates. Hire boats, grab a picnic from the inn, float down the sleepy Stour, then tie up on the bank for lunch al fresco.
