The Thatchers Arms is situated on the Essex & Suffolk borders boasting stunning views over the Stour Valley. Under new ownership since November 2006, The Thatchers has steadily gained a reputation for fantastic fresh locally sourced food & a great selection of local ales.

We are passionate about everything we do. Our Head Chef Mick Illingworth prepares our locally sourced menu on the premesis, from steamed puddings to steak & ale pies, real gravy, home cut chips & homemade custard. Our beers come also from local breweries; Adnams, Crouch Vale, Mersea Island and many more, even our crisps are from Wormingford, just down the hill.

The Thatchers has always been a local pub and this tradition continues with a blend of drinkers and diners from all around the local area. Everybody is welcome, whether you want a quiet pint, a snack or a 3 course meal. You can sit and admire the fabulous views or challenge a friend to a game of backgammon, if you're lucky you might find somebody playing the piano or reciting tales of local history, you'd be amazed what goes on in the country...

We are always looking for enthusiastic people to join our team. If you share our passion for food, drink & service then please send your CV to Mitch and we will be in touch.
