£35 -- Dinner & Wine for 2 at Historic Country Inn, Reg £76

The Deal

Nestled in the quaint Essex village of Battlesbridge, overlooking the River Crouch, The Barge Inn "offers upmarket pub grub" and an "impressive menu", according to local newspaper, the Echo.

For less than £18 each, two people can tuck into a 3-course dinner and a glass of wine at this historic country inn and save up to £40.70 on the regular price.

Featuring locally sourced produce from Essex and Suffolk, this deal includes:

- A glass of white, rosé or red wine each
- Any two starters from the à la carte menu, such as king scallops with black pudding, crispy pancetta and pea purée, or warm red onion marmalade and fresh fig tarte tatin
- Any two main courses* from the à la carte menu, such as pan-fried peppered Gressingham duck breast, or breaded and rolled lemon sole fillets with spring onion mash
- Any two desserts**, such as black cherry cheesecake and sticky toffee pudding

Best known for its antique centres, Battlebridge is a 20-minute drive from Chelmsford and Basildon. This inviting pub dates back to 1678 and features original beams and open log fires.

A reviewer for the Echo recently said after dining: "The Barge was a real discovery for us, both for the food and its pretty location, and we’ll definitely be heading back soon."
