Great Dunmow Restaurants

Giraffe - Stansted Airport

When you enter a chain restaurant there is always a sense of déjà vu, yet with the twelve outlets of Giraffe, this may not really be true. Russel and Juliette Joffe and Andrew Jacobs' philosophy behind this group of restaurants is sustaining the driving force of healthy, happy eating, while retaining the difference each location brings.

Square 1 Restaurant

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.

• Avg. Cost Per Head Lunch: £35.00, Dinner: £40.00

Starr, The

The Starr, a 500 year old timber framed hostelry overlooking the market place was opened in 1980. Even since Terry and Louise George took over in November 2003, the tag of being a family-run place is appealing and is evident in the all-pervading friendly atmosphere in the restaurant as well as the eight individually designed bedrooms.
