Breaking news
After 34 lovely years, Penny and I have decided that we are not getting any younger and that The Punch Bowl Restaurant will not re-open in its present form.
Instead we will re-direct our efforts to our Wines Sales (Luckins Wine Store, 9 Market Place, Great Dunmow, Essex), and our many trips.
If you need Wines - we are open at Luckins Wine Store - Great Dunmow, or collect from our cellars here at The Punch Bowl.
We also have extensive wines in our cellars here at The Punch Bowl.
Luckins Wine Store hosts tasting on Saturday afternoons - we start in the main shop floor at 3.30pm with a Prosecco or Sparkling Reception - then we go down to the cellar where guests are seated at a long oak table.
We try four white wines (generous tasting) then have a big cheese and fruit board from Lilly's kitchen and then continue with a selection of Red wines and finish with a Port.
great fun and educational too (we hope) -it concludes @6.30pm Tickets cost £34 all in available on-store at Luckins.
Thank you for all your valued custom, and great fun..please keep it up!

Harden's survey result
Not enough people have commented yet
Our reviews are based on an annual survey of ordinary diners which runs in Spring each year. But this establishment has not yet gathered enough feedback for our editors to write it up.
Do you think it deserves to be better known?
Write a quick review now using our restaurant diary service. That way it might catch our attention. Next survey, you can transfer your diary entry into our survey system. Everyone who contributes 5 or more reviews in our survey will qualify for a free guide.
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
