The Folly Bistro - Pub in Essex
The Tye, East Hanningfield, Chelmsford, CM3 8AA, Essex
England,
United Kingdom
The locals love their revamped pub - who wouldn’t? It’s smart but informal, customer focused and independently run. It started life as a butchery in 1642; now there’s a log-burner in the inglenook, a modern striped carpet throughout and a fancy sign out front announcing its new bistro status. Food-driven they may be but they often match dishes to wines and they love their ales too – Pucks Folly from Brentwood Brewery is one of four residents. At solid polished tables in the bar and restaurant (checked curtains, standing timbers, dove-grey bar) diners tuck into satisfying platefuls of moules, sautéed wild mushrooms, pie of the day, chump of lamb, sweet chilli risotto, and warm chocolate brownies. In summer you can decant to the garden and terrace with your cider or bubbly. PS. The pork scratchings (with spiced apple sauce) are fabulous.
