The Castle at Great Leighs is a country pub restaurant oozing rural charm and rustic character.
About us
Our picturesque surroundings provide the perfect back drop for savouring the hearty seasonal pub food on our menus and the carefully nurtured matured cask ales and fine wines gracing our bar. The Castle at Great Leighs (formerly St Anne’s Castle) is situated between Braintree and Chelmsford and has stood on the site for hundreds of years. The Castle is steeped in spooky local legends, these tales tell of spirits haunting the pub and grounds of The Castle, including the witch that was burnt at the stake at Scrapfaggots Green.
Food and Drink at The Castle
As always, our focus is on top quality, freshly cooked food. We use local suppliers where possible and work with a hand-picked network of farmers, fishermen and food producers to make sure only the best, sustainable fresh ingredients are used in our dishes.
