The Mole Trap pub, Essex

About

The Mole Trap - now under new ownership.

Openning hours: Monday and Tuesday closed. Wednesday and Thursday 12 to 10pm. Friday and Saturday 12 to 11pm. Sunday 12 to 9pm.

This much-loved pub was recently at risk but has now been saved which will be good news to all those who have discovered this hidden gem of a traditional pub still set in a very rural location.

The message from the new landlord says it all:

"My name is Daniel Teden and I have recently acquired the Mole Trap pub. 

My family and I plan to bring back to the community a warm local pub serving quality British food and drink and hope to offer jobs for local people as well as a friendly welcome to all villagers and visitors. I can assure you that all the refurbishment work will maintain the traditional style of the building. 

If you have any questions or queries, please don’t hesitate to contact me directly via my email daniel@themoletrappub.com.

My family and I are looking forward to being part of the community and welcoming you for a drink and a bite in your new Mole Trap in the very near future".
