Fowler's Farm holds a rich history that is intertwined with Braintree's local heritage, spanning an impressive six centuries. During the tumultuous days of the Second World War, the farm served as a sanctuary for the community, providing refuge from the nightly bombing raids. Today, it stands as a warm and bustling country pub, exuding a vibrant charm, complete with an inviting garden that's perfect for enjoying those long, balmy evenings with your family and four-legged companions.
The menus at Fowler's Farm are a delightful ode to hearty favourites and quintessential country pub classics, in traditional Vintage Inns style. Here, you'll discover timeless dishes such as an irresistible steak and mushroom pie, as well as the beloved beer-battered fish and chips. If you're in the mood for something a bit more adventurous, the seasonal surprises await, promising to tantalise your taste buds with unique flavours and offerings.
The all day menu includes plenty of British favourites. From the smoked mackerel pate with horseradish creme fraiche and toast, and slow-roasted tomato arancini, to an oven-baked chicken breast on a bed of spinach, topped with a wild mushroom and garlic sauce, streaky bacon and melted mozzarella, served with skin-on fries.

Whether you're craving the succulent beef, the tender slow-cooked pork belly, or a classic turkey breast, each dish is accompanied by a Yorkshire pudding, and a generous serving of perfectly seasoned garlic and thyme roast potatoes, roasted carrots, crisp green beans, broccoli, honey-glazed parsnips, and, of course, an abundance of rich, flavorful gravy.
