Shenfield since 2005.
Lot Bar & Restaurant has served Shenfield from our Hutton Road home since 2005, a short walk from the station and the heart of the village.
Head Chef Aaron Hardy has been with us from the start, building a menu around enduring favourites like King Prawn Linguine and seasonal specials such as roast haunch of venison. Everything is cooked on the premises; nothing is simply opened from a packet and warmed up.
We source locally where we can, keeping small independents like ourselves in business. Mornings bring breakfast and brunch; afternoons mean lunch and bar bites; evenings are for tapas designed to share over wine, cocktails, or a pint.
The bar runs seven days a week, champagne, cocktails, wine and craft beer alongside the kitchen. Whether you are here for a quiet corner, a long lunch, or a night that runs late, Lot is your local on Hutton Road.
