The Setting
Hedgerows brimming with cow parsley, foxglove and honeysuckle lead you along picturesque country lanes to this hidden gem, gently nestled in beautiful surroundings with breathtaking views across the rural landscape of North Essex.
Watching the sunset over the woods as you stand on the patio at The Compasses, you could be forgiven for believing you were hours from civilisation. However, located a mere 20 minutes from Chelmsford, Colchester and Stansted airport they are perfectly located and less than an hour by train from Central London.
The Vibe
‘Wedding Venue of The Year 2020’ and ‘Events Team of the Year 2020’ – The Essex Wedding Awards.
The Compasses wraps you in warmth, character and rustic charm from the minute you walk through the door. The well designed interior with contemporary decoration speaks of personal touch and gives the impression the building, and everything in it, is loved and cared for.
Warm sandstone floors in the bar with new oak timbers and sash windows give bright clean light to compliment the warmth from the fireplaces. Moving through, the ceremony area is comfortably large without feeling barnlike and retains a feeling of intimacy.
The gardens are spacious and well presented with large patios and stunning views across countryside to mature woodland. Pattiswick sunsets are famous for their beauty and stunning pink skies set the perfect backdrop for beautiful wedding photos.
Formerly a gastro pub, The Compasses gained a multitude of national awards over the years including Great British Pub of the Year, Family Pub of The Year, Best Restaurant in Essex and Best Gastro Pub in Essex. Its entry in the Michelin Guide amongst others is testament to the pride the team take in the quality of the food on offer.
