Finchingfield Village Green

Highlight • Settlement

A beautiful little village which is always busy with cyclists, motorcyclists, classic cars and more. The pub is great, but does get a little busy, so there's a little tea …

Winners Tea Rooms

Great location overlooking the village green but Finchingfield can get super-busy in the summer so be prepared for queues on a nice weekend.

The Bell

Lovely pub, that during the Dunwich Dynamo, opens late to serve hot food out in their garden (chilli with rice, burger, ratatouille with rice and veggie burgers) and beers, softs etc. as usual.
