"A quick search for a dog friendly cafe in the town bright us here on a Sunday lunchtime. We got a nice welcome from a friendly man, and the menu was varied from paninis, sandwiches, jackets, salads, nachos and loads of drink options. We waited quite long for our food but it was delicious and plentiful when it arrived. The waiter remained friendly and chatted to the children. There was a baby changing area outside the toilet, and he brought a water bowl for our dog too. We felt very looked after and it just felt that they do everything right. We will definitely return and maybe next time do some pottery painting-they had a huge range of things to paint, and it was a very relaxing atmosphere in which to do it."

"My wife and I ate in here on Saturday, we had been advise to go early as they book out quickly. We where seated quickly and started with poppadums with a range of delicious accompaniments, I loved the lime pickle and my wife liked the coconut one. The menu had a wide range of options including Bangladeshi dishes. I loved the allergy guide on the menu as it took the stress out of ordering. We shared crispy, sweet and spicy Onion Bhaji, an Brinjal Bhajee delicate aubergine dish); a Sardines Biran so filling), Chapatil and Shatkora Gosth. The lamb in the Shatkora Gosth was so tender it melted in the mouth hitting your palette with a spicy rich flavour, We did not make it to desert. I enjoyed a glass of house white, which was light and refreshing. Thank you for a wonderful meal. Lynne Annie"

It's a wonderful spot for a great dining experience, whether you prefer indoor or outdoor seating. The meals are of high quality, and I truly enjoyed my time there. Everything was cooked to perfection, and I had a fantastic experience filled with laughter. Overall, a wonderful place to dine!"

"We have lived in Dunmow for 25 years and have always visited this pub through its various ownerships. We had not been for a while, until after I had a life saving major heart operation last year and this was the first place we chose to go for breakfast when I came out of hospital. We have continued to go since then on a regular basis and it never fails to satisfy. We have always been served by Lorraine since the first day we went and she has been fantastic. Last weekend was a year since I had the operation and we chose to go back for a small family meal to celebrate the success of the day. Well what can I say, my wife had other ideas and with the help of Lorraine she organised a surprise gathering of family and friends in a cordoned off part of the marquee with buffet. What made it even more special was that they don't normally do a buffet on a Sunday as it is normally roast dinner only. After Lorraine explained to her manager the importance of the day she was more than happy to help make the day happen. For this I am really grateful, and despite not getting the steak dinner I thought I was having it was so much better. Thank you to everyone involved as I know the organisation for this on a day you would not normally do it would have been a challenge. We will continue to go for breakfast whenever we can and hope that Lorraine is always there."

"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."
