The Griffin is located in the village of Danbury Essex, on the main road between Chelmsford and Maldon, perched at the very summit of Danbury Mount, a high saddle of land between Chelmsford and Maldon. This enchanting, 16th Century, oak box framed building is remarkably well preserved, and has many original features such as the wooden beams, three open log burning fireplaces and beautiful carvings which are thought to come from the local church! The view from the lounge and garden, over broad-leaved forest, is stunning, and this beautiful countryside is justly popular with ramblers, many of whom use The Griffin as their meeting point.
Tastefully decorated inside and out, this destination food house is something very special. People come from near and far to choose a meal from the main menu or one of the specials prepared by our Chefs to show their flair! At The Griffin, food is as important as beer, the wine stock is equally well chosen, whilst a conducive environment adds the finishing touch.
You will be served meals which have been prepared from the freshest of ingredients and cooked to order. You are free to dine wherever you like in this fully non smoking venue which can cater for about 100 people. There is an excellent choice of wines to accompany your meal or, if preferred, three real ales and a variety of bottled products from the bar.
Along with the local regulars and travelling visitors we attract a number of ramblers too. In a nutshell this is pub which gives a relaxed dining experience with a style of food, wine and cask ales which befits the safe, comfortable atmosphere which is The Griffin.
Visit us soon and enjoy a treat.
