  “Food and drink are amazing for the price as a member. Non members are made welcome if a member signs them in, I brought my uncle down for the day as a guest who was made very welcome and offered a game of pétanque by the regulars which made his day and then we had lunch and he said it was the best sea bass he had ever eaten in 89 years. Thanks BSSC. On top of that if you are a member the drinks are a steal and it is the local CAMRA club of the year !”

  “i'm sad to be writing this but i'm afraid we.. haven't received a very welcoming return to our club.. we've alway's been members as long as i can remember..🤔 family also have been.. members since then, since covid thing's have changed somewhat.. but the attitude now is everyone has to have their own membership which okay fair play- i was told by a staff member.. Or.. maybe the manager i'm not sure? sorry! it's only £30 to join.. this as maybe, but i feel it's unfair to pay full membership when we're 3/4 of the way through the year.. i politely explained i will join but at the start of the new year.. my husband's a member, we've recently started going to the weekly quiz on a Monday eve.. costing £2 per person our friend comes with us= £6 we buy a couple of rounds of drinks, snacks & always end up with a hot drink.. although twice now we haven't been able to have a hot chocolate ☕ as alway's not enough milk? so averaging £30 per visit.. we've been told we have one more visit left as two none member's or we can't go.. anymore.. perhap's i'v cut of my nose to spite my face, but i don't like being told what to do & more so why don't you join it's only £30!! That's fine! We're going try a different venue for the time being where you're not treated like children & where they're grateful for a regular visit.. Disappointed.. thankyou to our quiz master though (sorry for not.. remembering you're name?!) for tryin to amend this at the recent committee meeting.. best regards paul'sally'& Linda aka The "Happy- Monday" Or not so "Happy.. Monday's!!" now! 🤨 See ya! wouldn't want to be ya!! Lol! 👋😂”

  “Visited this place a couple of times now with the family. Called in today on route back to Leeds from Kent. Beats any motorway services. Better food and better prices. Great service too. Lovely staff. 5* from us.”

  “Following a meal I played petanque with the local club who welcome new members. The food was very good value for money, I had a set meal of sausage eggs and chips followed by chocolat fudge cake, ice cream and coffee. A great way to spend a pleasant summer evening enjoying the sunshine in the beer garden. Highly recommended.”

  “Only been there once to a wake Which is always an artificial atmosphere but it seemed a very well run place. It’s far from new but we’ll appoint and tidy! The bar was well stocked and wide selection of beers, spirits and wine! The food was enough for a small army and the special plate was only enough for a betallion. Very tasty and what was supposed to be hot was very hot ! Parking and entry for disabled is fine! All together a very adequate venue for I would guess 70 to 80 guests.”

  “Not great if you have allergies, there was only one dish I could eat and that was a plant burger. I'm not a fan of burgers. They used to do a nice curry and various fish dishes. Not my first choice. They used to be so good, it's a shame.”

  “Lovely place to come to on Thursday evening for bingo. Terry the manager has made myself and my sister feel welcome. The food is great and the drinks are reasonably priced. We have also made some new friends along the way. Many thanks.”

  “This is possibly one of the nicest social clubs I have ever been in, The whole place is immaculately clean and tidy, the staff are friendly and attentive. The food is five stars hands down it is proper home-cooked freshly made to order, I had the Chilli jacket potato and this was amazing better than home and eat, better than Marks and Spencer's and it had a nice kick to it. we will definitely be coming back here and probably signing up as members soon enough.”

  “We can’t thank Birchanger social club enough, we was let down massively by a venue last minute (the week before) for our children’s Christening reception. We didn’t know who to turn to and who would accommodate 85 guests at such late notice. when my wife suggested the social club as we was only members a few years ago until we moved to Dunmow, we will definitely be rejoining. I called the the social club, and Terry called me back within 10 minutes, I told him our situation and he was very understanding and suggested we popped down straight away to talk to head chef Rob. Firstly, Terry put us at ease and said they could host us and told us how it would work. We then spoke to Rob about the buffet, giving us endless options and was happy to cater for all our guests and needs. We left feeling very relieved and in safe hands with Terry and Rob. On the day it couldn’t have gone better, what Rob done for the Buffett was fantastic and their was plenty for all and everyone said how good it was. He even sorted me out with a few wings on the side. All the kids were able to run around while the adults enjoyed the wide selection of drinks from the bar. If you’re needing a venue for any type of function I can’t recommend Birchanger social club enough. Thanks again.”
