Eat, Drink, Smile, and Laugh
Sir Henry's is a beautiful family-run restaurant and beer garden based in the heart of Essex. Our stunning 13th-century building, built in 1290, has been beautifully transformed to highlight its original features and is surrounded by a picturesque 13th-century moat with a beautifully landscaped beer garden. This creates the perfect setting for any occasion, whether it's a summer day or a cosy night by our log fires.
