The Rodney in Chelmsford

Nice hosts,plenty of beer options,good beer garden to spend a bank holiday

Very nice little pub. Lovely garden to sit in if weather permits. Does food. You may want to check opening times if you are travelling to get there

Finishing our walk around the nearby nature reserve, the pub was a welcome sight! It is beautifully set on the main street leading up to the top of Little Baddow, and proudly features a lovely beer garden on a slope to its Western side.There is a good selection of drinks, warm food and sandwiches. The place has quite a history (built around 1650) and the owners have made sure the interior is richly decorated with lots of items around a nautical theme. The collection of beer mats adorning the ceiling around the bar to the right of the entrance is worth admiring.Note: the pub serves food but you may have to wait to be served so don't be in a hurry! Enjoy the atmosphere and a good conversation. Staff are very welcoming and friendly, a great testimony of local hospitality.

Lovely pub with a friendly landlord and a tasty drink. Perfect!

Nice little country pub good garden and the Ale went down a real treat 👍

A great little cosy pub to spend a sunny Sunday watching time fly by. Has a lovely decor and charm about the place, nice to see the horses go by on the road, a good beer garden also, and some really nice real ale & beer on tap 👌 and a perfect pint of Guinness ! Very friendly staff shall definitely be coming back again indeed

A great pub. We've been going here for quite a few years. Lovely old pub interior with wooden floors and beams and immaculate beer garden with plenty of seating. The landlord always has a couple of real ales and ciders on tap which change regularly plus a good selection of gins and vodka shots. Highly recommended for a nice relaxing drink in a nice setting.

Great pub in a beautiful area of Essex with lots of excellent public footpath based walks nearby. Good beer, a large garden and good reasonably priced food. Go for a walk then finish with a pInt and some grub knowing you earned it.

We found this lovely little pub on Saturday with a beautiful beer garden and we had one of the best Thai green curries ever.... Definitely going back again when in the area.

Very traditional English pub with an excellent beer garden and plenty of parking. Very good value for money compared to many other pubs.A nice walk to Paper Mill Lock if you like to stroll down a river.
