We’re finalists! 🏆

We’re incredibly proud to be finalists in two categories in the Essex Life Food & Drink Awards 2026:

The latest issue of Essex Life magazine details a little more about The Punch Bowl and what has earned us a place in both categories - keep an eye out for us!

To be recognised for both the experience we create for our guests and our commitment to using fantastic local produce means a great deal to the whole team.
