I had lunch here last year. An excellent meal with good beer, good value for money, prompt service even though it was busy, and lovely views of the Severn! Booking advised as it is deservedly popular.
The building dates from 1750 and has been a pub since 1878. There is lots of atmosphere.
There is NO piped music, I understand this is the owner's policy.

Closed Tuesdays
A country pub in Chignall St James, near Chelmsford (a comfortable bike ride from Chelmsford for us, and there's also ample parking).
The main outside seating is next to the (mainish) road, however there are also some outside tables tucked away around the back, which backs on to fields.
When we visited, the pub was showing Wimbledon on the tele (at a reasonable volume), so it would be worth checking what the normal background is.
The owners were friendly, and there was a nice variety of food. Not everything appeared on the menu.
Location
Queen's Head, Fyfield, Essex
Wed, 01/06/2011 - 10:38pm — geoff_oldingThe Queen’s Head, FyField is primarily a village pub, however the upstairs dining area has a distinct restaurant feel. Indeed, there was a lot of nouvelle cuisine on the menu, as well as some traditional pub grub.
Our main meals were pretty small, so we ordered the truffled fried chips, which turned out to be enormous (as well as very tasty).
Location
Plough Inn Wingfield
Mon, 16/05/2011 - 8:21pm — anthonygroomThe Plough Inn is Les Routiers classified and we enjoyed good food there.
The only music is from a tiny radio on the bar, which the landlord is happy turn off upon request.
This music was in no way a problem for us, since it cannot be heard at all from the conservatory.
Quoting from their website:
"The Plough is a pretty, thatched country pub with a lovely atmosphere, low ceilings, oak beams and an open fire.
