OpeningTimes

Dinner
&
Sundays from 12 noon for Luncheon. Juniors most Welcome.(£7.50)
Open Thursday 10th December, also space Saturday 12th December. please accept my apologies if you cannot get a reservation for most dates in December, we do value your custom, so much so that we would rather say 'no' than have too many dining with us.
We always want you to have a really enjoyable evening!
We also cater for private parties, so please give us a quick call before you come.
The
Restaurant is housed in a listed Tudor building which was
formerly a Coaching Inn, constructed in the early 15th century. Today the Punch Bowl
retains its original character with exposed beams in the dining
room, and in the bar is the only solid willow floor in Essex.
The
menus by our Kitchen Brigade - use local produce and herbs that
compliment the fish we buy from Billingsgate market, and
the meat from Sweetlands of Great Dunmow..
All of the desserts are made on the premises and any particular favourite dishes (including meat free) can be added to the menu at short notice.
At the Punch Bowl we offer a fine and interesting a la carte menu. A typical midweek and our current a la carte menu are included at the foot of this page.
We are also renowned for our traditional Family Sunday Lunches! The Restaurant has never been so comfortable since the change in smoking.
Wines play a major part at the Punch
Bowl where quality and cost have been married to provide an
extensive, good value wine list.
The wine list is very comprehensive with most wines sourced at auctions or from top wine merchants and provides a good selection for the discerning client. We also offer a diverse Bin-End list and vintage ports. You are always very welcome to choose your own wines from our extensive cellar
(and you get to meet my Wife Penny in the Kitchen on the way through).
You will find our prices very friendly, its' all part of the fun.
