There are some charming things about living in the right sort of town; take Great Dunmow for example, probably best known for the Flitch Trials, which take place there every four years. Couples have to convince a jury they have not argued during the last year and if they succeed, they win a flitch of bacon! Good dining destinations will surely thrive in such an enjoyable setting, and Square 1 is one such restaurant situated in a beautiful listed building in High Street.

You could visit them on days when special events are organised and join the fun, or simply pop in to sample tasty modern British and French dishes, created as far as possible, from local and organic produce. Whether it's the poppy and sesame seed fried goat's cheese, roasted cod fillet wrapped in smoked bacon, or the raspberry, strawberry and marshmallow Eton mess, the kitchen is sure to send out a few amuses as well.

Square 1 also offers a good range of cocktails, wine and champagne to ensure you dine in style.
