The Windmill - Pub in Essex
Chatham Green
Little Waltham, Chelmsford, CM3 3LE, Essex
England,
United Kingdom
The last miller stopped grinding wheat to start selling beer back in 1904, so the sails are long gone, but the attractive roundhouse still stands next to the white-painted pub, and old millstones can be spotted in the fireplaces. Owners Mick and Lydia are in charge nowadays, serving up ales including Braintree-based Bishop Nick and Greene King IPA from Suffolk. Lydia works front of house while Mick conjures up originality and fabulous flavours in the kitchen. Experience with Ramsay and with Daniel Clifford are put to good effect using local ingredients - delicious native lobster ravioli or Shalford pork and chorizo Scotch egg to start, a rich roast rump of Essex lamb with celeriac or pan-fried sea bream to follow. Sit contentedly by the roaring log burner or on the laneside terrace, and match the food with a good wine list. A real find.
