Sunday Lunch, 10 miles radius of Harlow?

[Poledriver]

As the title says, I am taking someone out for a special Sunday lunch this weekend (it's my Birthday) and want to find a restaurant/traditional pub within 10 miles radius of Harlow.
I want a 'proper' Sunday roast with Beef/Pork/Lamb, Roast potatoes (not deep fat fried) and real Yorkshire pudding (NOT Aunt fking Bessies!).
Preferably in an Olde Pub with beams and a log fire.

Any suggestion?

Probably a bit more than 10miles but the cricketers in clavering. You should book though, they have a website if you google it

second one for the Cricketers in Clavering - great food, charming pub - it's only a bit further out of Bishops Stortford, and the countryside drive's really scenic

Cheers guys, I've a short list of 2 now!

Ooops, a little late - would have suggested the Fox & Hounds in Hunsdon, The Bull in Much Hadham and of course The Cricketers.

Where did you end up going?

Bit late sorry - only just seen the thread! Agree with all suggestions and would also add (although it isn't olde worldy) The Catherine Wheel in Albury (run by the same guy as The Bull in Much Hadham). They do a fantastic Sunday lunch - almost as good as my own including a 'mixed' - lamb, beef and pork - if you can't decide which one you want!

Avoid that garden centre just outside Harlow that has the cafe bolted on the front!
