Look at the inside cover of Jamie Oliver's
Jamie's Great Britain and you'll find a picture of the Essex border sign near Clavering. We ventured there from deepest Herts at Christmas and here is that very same sign. Followed by a trip to Trevor Oliver's pub, the Cricketers, to sample Jamie's Tipple. Can also vouch for Jamie's courgette and Lincolnsire Poacher cheese pie having road tested it on New Year's Eve...
This sign makes me think I'd like to visit all the olympic outside london sites - hadleigh, weymouth etc. Fancy another essex date? Nicola x

Oh yes. After the turf maze in Saffron Walden anything is possible! BTW Billy Bragg also poses by an Essex border sign in the video of Sexuality...
ReplyDeleteWent to the Cricketers a few years back - lovely place. We stayed in their rooms and were served breakfast by Jamie's dad, the lovely Trevor. My missus was born on the same day as JO so she's always felt a connection - even though Clavering is only just Essex!
ReplyDeleteYes, it's only just over the border. Nice pub, sadly we arrived after 3pm so couldn't eat but good beer and tea and signed copies of Jamie's book on sale at a discount.
