About

A warm welcome awaits you at the intriguingly named Wooden Fender, a delightful country pub and restaurant located in the village of Ardleigh close to the historic town of Colchester. The comfortably furnished bar and restaurant retain traditional features such as beamed ceilings and log fires which create a homely and cosy atmosphere throughout.

The restaurant serves seasonal, homemade food using only the best quality produce which is sourced locally whenever possible. Talented head chefs and their team offer a wide range of classic favourites and contemporary À la Carte dishes with a twist, from tasty breakfasts through to light bites and lunches, a daily specials board and speciality evening meals. The menus also cater for those with dietary requirements including vegetarian and gluten free.
