Originally built as two estate workers cottages, The Compasses hides neatly away in the beautiful North Essex countryside of Pattiswick. This is truly a destination pub, the perfect rural retreat for those seeking good food and good company in stunning surroundings.
Seemingly miles from any populated areas, the Compasses at Pattiswick is only 20 minutes from both Chelmsford and Colchester.
We pride ourselves in retaining our individual character whilst being passionate about our warmth, hospitality and attention to detail. The kitchen crew are passionate about using the finest produce from local suppliers including skate from the Little Fish Company in Wivenhoe. All the game on our menu when in season comes from Holifield Estate surrounding The Compasses.
Whether you are simply passing through and in need of a pub lunch, meeting with business colleagues in private or planning a special night out with friends and family, the Compasses at Pattiswick is the perfect choice.
