WHAT'S IN A NAME
The Bicycle name we are often asked
Of how this choice could come to pass
My father is the reason why
A cycling guy in years gone by
Before the kids began to multiply
Glasgow, John O Groats and Pittenween
Through all the places in between
Leather saddle, heavy bike
Not too much that I would like
Scottish weather, rough terrain
Your bum would never feel the same
A fitting tribute you may say
With all our hearts we would agree
A great man who made up laugh
Who led us down life’s long path
When people say a strange pub name
Please let them know who is to blame
In memory of my dear old dad
We miss him so which makes us sad
But we remember more happy times
Look to heaven and feel just fine
The Bicycle would never be
If it wasn’t for old Peter D
WHAT'S IN A NAME
The Bicycle was named in memory of Brian's late father Peter D who we miss very much.
ABOUT US
The Bicycle opened its doors in September 2014 by husband and wife team Brian and Kerry.
Our aim is to create great tasting non pretentious food using the best produce while providing excellent friendly service in beautiful surroundings in the heart of the Essex countryside.
We really care about our customers dining experience. It matters to us that they love not just their visit, but every time they return.
BRIAN & KERRY
MENU
Our menu is a collaboration of great flavours, the best East of England produce, evolved into an ever changing menu by talented chefs who are passionate about what they do. When you marry all these ingredients the final product in mouth wateringly good. Accompany this with great wine and artisan gins from around the world.
Not forgetting beers and ale on tap and new single malts - perfect.
