The Viper

The Common, Mill Green Road, Mill Green, Ingatestone, Essex, CM4 0PT

The Viper is nestling in thick woodland of Mills Green, camouflaged with wallflowers and hanging baskets, and identifiable by its yellow-painted doors.

The pub has been named The Viper because of the once-abundant reptile colony that thrived in the surround woodland of Mill Green. Locals know the way here very well. During most of the summer morning, dozen of the people wait patiently in the garden for the midday opening.

It is well known for its unique location, its rustic wooden-floored simlicity, and its range of locally made real ales such as:  Oscar Wilde Mild (3.7% abv from Mighty Oak, of Maldon), it also has its own Viper-brand V.I.P.A (3.5%) and perky Jake The Snake (4.0%), as well as Augustinian (4.5%, from Nethergate Brewery, in Suffolk).

Last but not the least the food is excellent and very reasonably priced. This pub is a must visit if you are near by the location.
