Chelmsford – The Lion Inn
This wonderful gastro pub offers a mix of old and new, so it seems the perfect way to see out the old year and in with the new, with their warm atmosphere and high ceilings. For £90 you can indulge in a champagne reception and a 5 course midnight feast or take the smaller option of £60 for a prosecco reception and a 2 course meal.
There are also 23 beautifully furnished guest rooms on site, with access/views across the gardens, so you can enjoy yourself without having to grab a cab home.

With drinks on arrival, a four course meal, a five piece band and a midnight toast for just £85. This is a night to celebrate in style and you’ll certainly be impressed by what is on offer here.

Ongar – The Forresters Arms
The most adorable traditional and quaint village pub. If you want something more homely and intimate, then The Forresters Arms is where you need to be. In the beautiful village location of High Ongar, you will experience a true community NYE.
There isn’t anything fancy but it has the best cosy feel with an open fire and a feeling of gentle warmth, a fab DJ, nibbles and a place to just relax and really take in the moment of bringing in 2020 with your nearest and dearest. This is free entry and free buffet and shouldn’t be missed.

Brentwood – Dusk
This multi cuisine restaurant has a lot to offer and it successfully has that holiday feel to it. When you want to escape, grab some great food within gorgeous surroundings and forget the world, then this is your place. Mixed in with having the best Shisha around, from Savacco to Al Fakir, you’re in for a treat.
For NYE, they have all you could ask for; a top DJ set with the best music pumping through their speakers, a wonderful selection of food, flame throwers, dancers and the best in Shisha. What more could you want!

Southend on Sea – NYE at The Grosvenor
In the words of the Grosvenor ‘See the New Year in with a Flutter’. This is the perfect place to grab your pals, get dressed up and start stacking your chips; not the fried kind. The Grosvenor never fails to deliver with its decadence and charm and the feeling that you are somewhere special.
Their NYE consists of drinks, food, fabulous music and the best in casino games. You’ll lose yourself the minute you step in. You’re somewhere special and you’ll feel a bit ‘Oceans Eleven’, just the way you should feel on a NYE; special.
