The Essex pub with traditional roast dinners loved by Olly Murs
Here in Essex we are blessed with some brilliant pubs and restaurants - and we're also lucky enough to have many celebrities call our county home. So when one of those famous faces gives somewhere the celebrity stamp of approval it's a great accolade.
The Green Man in Little Braxted had that stamp after a visit from pop star Olly Murs. The Green Man can be found in Kelvedon Road with the traditional-looking pub restaurant is just a few miles from Witham and Maldon.
In a post shared by The Green Man on Instagram last year, they said: "It was a pleasure to meet and serve our Essex local Olly Murs today for his Sunday roast. [We] look forward to seeing you again soon."
