Pubs in the Colchester/A12 corridor area......

[Charlie Boy]

Youngest has to meet someone in this area and wants to maintain social distancing in a pleasant outdoor English country pub kind of setting.
Any ideas?
TIA

Suggest don’t meet on a Monday, past experience seems to suggest that most of the South Essex pubs are shut on a Monday, even when they have a sign outside saying “Open 7 days a week”!!

Lexden Crown, just off the A12 junction 27 or The Alma, School Road, Copford close to junction 26.

I'd second the Alma in Copford.

I am now informed that it has to be a bit ‘chic’.

If he wants chic to impress.... (read hopefully undress) a bit of fluff.. The Old Crown at Messing does very good food... Very much Gastro food..

We've eaten there, fairly average food, quiet village location.

Presume in this day and age that “fluff” is a non gender-specific term.

Fair enough, but doesn’t mean she hasn’t got similar ideas in mind...
