"We used to go to the Green Man a lot under the previous owners and thought we would give it a try again for our wedding anniversary with our children. Bit of a mistake! You can see they are trying to improve the quality of the food, which was always good anyway but poor training and terrible service really let it down tonight. So we sat at 17:30 and it was 15 mins before we were offered drinks, not a massive deal. Food order another 10 mins. Both the kids ordered burgers so I specifically asked if there was mayonnaise in the burgers and if the coleslaw was separate and was told no mayo in burger and coleslaw separate. Starter sharing mezze was OK except only 2 bits of halloumi (for 4 people) and odd tasting sandy brown coloured olives. So the burgers turn up and have coleslaw chucked on the plate right on the burgers and mayo in the buns. So they went back and “replacements” came back from the kitchen very quickly which were the same burgers just in new buns with no mayo and the coleslaw in ramekins. Then the wife’s fish and chips. Looked nice and waited for service to offer condiments however seems we are being left alone now we said about the burgers. So she starts tucking in and finds a short dark black human hair on the plate. So that gets sent back. To be fair to the chef came out and apologised that he had not put his bandana on and unfortunately one of his hairs had fallen on the plate. OK forgive that once and say thank you for apologising. However it’s the same but if fish (as the wife had picked a bit off the end) and probably the same chips. Lovely. Then we totally get left alone. The kids were enjoying the burgers but slightly over salted and the water had run out so we thought get more water so they can finish and that someone would come near, which they did but to serve the tables around us and completely ignore us, even when trying to get attention. So in the end we get up (and could totally have walked out without paying and none of the staff would have been any the wiser) that’s not us though, so we paid. Told the chap at the bar that we had to come to the bar as we had been totally ignored (him being one of the many staff fawning over the people on the tables around us) and he just said OK handed the receipt. Now was the time for an apology, maybe even some sort of discount (which most places just do regardless) but no, nothing, no apology, no discount. Not bothered about the money So I paid in full and will be extremely unlikely to (read will never) set foot in the place again as there was no attempt at apology. Happy wedding anniversary! When you book there is a question “is it a special occasion” which we put yes it was our wedding anniversary and no acknowledgment so they obviously ignore those bits on the bookings. It felt like it was very clicky, like if you are known or are loaded you get looked after. Not a place for mere mortals."

First visit to this venue. Booked a table for myself and my wife for the Tapas evening. Good atmosphere, great food and attentive staff that looked to make our evening special. Although first visit it won't be our last.

Perfect country setting and lovely garden at rear, ideal for kids to let off steam too. Brilliant attentive staff and chef will come personally and speak to you if required. Food is top quality, white tablecloths and wine glasses on the tables, looks stunning ! For real ale drinkers try the Colchester Brewery ales, Jack Spitty is lovely !

The pub is nice and clean and modern, with a pleasant outdoor area if you want to sit outside but it needed more sunshades for hot days. Service is warm friendly. Whilst the beer battered fish was enjoyable, the skin on chips were a soggy disappointment more like badly done frozen chips. Would have expected them to be so much better. However, the salmon dish with mash was excellent. Wines are pricey. View menu

My extended family and I gathered at this restaurant, choosing its quiet location as a midpoint between our five homes. The food was delicious and well-presented, and we received excellent service from James and his team. We enjoyed the lovely views from the back of the restaurant, as well as the spacious beer garden. Despite being relatively quiet on a Thursday afternoon in late September, I believe this restaurant deserves more customers.

While out for a walk, we spontaneously stopped by this charming restaurant for a coffee by the cozy log fire. We ended up staying for lunch after browsing the menu. My husband ordered a delicious sausage, cheese, and onion sandwich with coleslaw, while I opted for the beautifully presented fish cakes served with a side of mixed leaves. Nick, our server, warmly welcomed us, despite our casual attire, and provided excellent attentiveness throughout our meal, always accompanied by a friendly smile.

Visited this resturant for a family dinner table of 9 . Upon arrival this looked like a very nice resturant ,however it gets worse !! We noticed a couple of wasps flying around on the back window and they headed straight for our table this continued throughout our meal we counted at least ten wasps heading towards us . management tried to deal with this problem by getting them outside but it didn't help ,they just kept coming back and trying to land in the food ,and being successful on a couple of occasions . A member of our group actually had to get up and deal with a wasp whilst trying to eat dinner . This was appalling and had no apology from management at all , no sorry ,no discount ,no...

The Green Man at Linsell is a charming pub located off the beaten path that almost meets expectations. The pub's decor is lovely and you'll receive a warm welcome from the attentive front-of-house team. It's a step up from your typical pub, with white tablecloths and napkins that elevate the Sunday lunch experience. Getting there may require navigating through narrow single-track roads with the help of a somewhat confusing satnav, but there is ample parking available once you arrive. The drink selection is standard pub fare, though the wine list appears reasonable. For our meal, we both opted for the beef Sunday roast. While everything was cooked well, the dishes lacked seasoning and punch t...
