A country pub near you oozing rural charm and rustic character.

Shaw Farm dates back to the 17th century, under the reign of Queen Anne. The farm was given a special pardon to start the production of bread for the local area. Still set in the original farm house, Shaw Farm resides in South Woodham Ferrers, a small town in the beautiful Essex countryside.
