Quality Food & Accommodation
The Star Inn is a comfortable 17th century public house in Burnham-on-Crouch which is a small town on the north bank of the River Crouch. It fronts the High Street which hosts a number of bars, restaurants, interesting shops and quaint cottages.
The inn's accommodation is self-catering which includes a kitchenette with tea and coffee making facilities, lounge area with TV, bedroom which sleeps two to three people and en suite bathroom. If the idea of a hearty cooked breakfast prepared by someone else appeals to you then there is a cafe on the quayside just a few yards away.
In the winter you can while away the hours in the cosy bar with a warm and welcoming log fire whilst in the summer months you can sit out on the patio to dine or have a drink overlooking the river. Children are welcome and a comfortable family room is provided. If planning a special function e.g. family party, christening or corporate entertainment, The Star Inn is an ideal venue. Catering is available with buffets starting from £6.00 per head.
Sailing is one of Burnham's most popular pastimes. If you are a budding Sailor and looking for tuition there are a number of schools based at the marina. Alternatively you may wish to take advantage of the local ferry service which runs for Easter and then from Whitsun through to the end of September with regular wildlife trips to see the local seals! There are also beautiful riverside walks and many picturesque houses and cottages along the quayside.
Bradwell-on-Sea is just a short drive away which hosts a beautiful chapel called St Peters that is steeped in history having originally been a Roman fort and restored in 653 by St Cedd. Also close by is Maldon, one of the oldest towns in Essex. It is the home port to the historic Thames Barges which are available for charter, Maldon also has an indoor swimming pool and Bowling alley.
Burnham-on-Crouch has great rail links to the famous Essex resort of Southend-on-Sea which hosts the longest pier in the world built in 1889. Burnham also has the advantage of being just an hour away from Liverpool Street Station in London where you can spend a day enjoying the famous sights or maybe relax and experience one of the many musicals or plays in the numerous theatres.
