The inn dates back to 1678 when it was described in the deeds as a “small rectangular building”. Wickford is an ancient settlement that has existed since before 975. There is evidence that the area itself was inhabited in prehistoric, Roman and Saxon times. Wickford was referred to in the Domesday Book as both Wicfort and Wincfort.

The Sunday roast dinner is a Great British pub-food tradition The Hawk wholeheartedly honour – and as a country pub, it’s our duty to offer the fine folk of Battlesbridge a fitting feast every weekend.

Tuck into Sundays, Vintage style

Sundays at your favourite Vintage are the perfect occasion to gather together your loved ones. We serve a minimum of two of the following hand-carved meats plus a vegetarian option, as always with crispy roast potatoes, fresh vegetables and lashings of gravy…

• Roast beef and Yorkshire pudding
• Roast turkey with stuffing
• Herb crusted loin of sweet-cured pork (sourced from one of the only specialist bacon and gammon curers in the UK still using traditional methods)
• Carrot and nut roast

Our freshly roasted Sunday dinners are very popular and whilst we try to serve them until 5pm, once they are gone that’s it I’m afraid until next Sunday!

To wash it all down, we recommend one of our fine wines or seasonal ask ales. Roast beef and real ale – now there’s a rare Sunday pairing.

Make your own traditions

Eating out at your local pub on Sunday isn’t just about the traditional roast. For example, we’ve got braised pork belly and lamb shank for those who prefer a twist on a classic.
