Eat pansies, drink wine, at the vineyard in Coggeshall

Driving out of Coggeshall, not intending to stop, we saw a vineyard, and knew you could eat there because a family with children's party balloons sat on the terrace. Inside you are greeted by displays of elegant bottles, jams, gifts. Beyond is you find overlooking the vineyard a delightful fresh black and white decor with amusing quotations about drink and wine on the walls.


This is the Enoteca machine enabling you to have a small taste at a low price, small being good if you are driving.

If you prefer not to drink at all, the menu includes a crab starter - which one of my group enjoyed (I'm allergic to shellfish). I can vouch for the flavours of the trifle dessert with two colours of edible pansy petals on top.
