Formerly known as The Railway Tavern, the Kicking Dickey is run by Lawrence & Diane who take a genuine hands-on interest in seeing that their customers really enjoy themselves, in this unchanging old style pub.

Dining is very civilised which makes it ideal for special occasions. Its very popular during peak times and it is sensible to book if you wish to dine in the main conservatory-restaurant.

From the bar there's a good selection of beers including at least three 'Real Ales' including Greene King IPA, Abbot Ale, XX Mild plus a guest beer. We also have a selection of all the popular brand name lagers including original Budweiser on draught.

Service is genuinely welcoming and you’ll be made to feel just as special whether you come for a simple sandwich or a full three-course meal. Generous bar food from a well balanced menu is served promptly by good-natured efficient staff.

The brightly lit conservatory restaurant is perfect for quiet dining and can be hired for private functions and can accommodate up to 30 seated or up to 50 for a buffet style occasion.

Overnight accommodation is available with en-suite facilities. Each room is equipped with colour TV and Tea/ Coffee making equipment and a fridge.

The pub is situated just a short drive from Stansted Airport. Single rooms are £45.00 per night and a double room £60.00 per night.
