Welcome to The Ash at Burton End, a pub with good food, beer garden and Sky & BT Sports close to Stansted. If you are looking for a British pub with all the trimmings you have come to the right place, we pride ourselves in offering everything a great British pub should; a warm welcome, delicious food, real ales, a beer garden or an open fire (depending on the good old British weather), Sky & BT Sports, a classy wine selection and some great gins!

The Ash has been a locals favourite for many years since its use by the United States Air Force during the campaigns of World War II and is still popular with frequent flyers due to its close proximity to Stansted Airport. We specialise in traditional British pub food done well, choose from classic British pub favourites including Billingsgate fish and chips and porterhouse steaks and chips with all the trimmings.

We are proud of our experienced team here at the Ash. Friendly and professional bar and waiting staff will tend to your every need whilst behind the scenes our first class chefs are always on-site to ensure all meals are prepared to the highest standard.

Supporting local business is key to our hearts and we source as much from local suppliers as possible; meat, vegetables and even our fish comes straight from the trawlers overnight to Stansted before going to Billingsgate!We strive to use nothing but the best and freshest ingredients. With a comprehensive menu we offer traditional pub food with an a la carte menu available for those special occasions.

Love love love this place. The Chef is absolutely brilliant with crazy generous portions, haven’t had a bad meal here. The old adage that English food is terrible does not apply at The Ash. Staff is a delight and lots of great WWII memorabilia. Highly recommend this place!

Great service, friendly staff and good facilities. Didn't have a sit down meal so can't comment too much on the food, but what we had was nice.

Food was very good and good sized portions.
Deserts were amazing, as was the coffee.
Local real ales available, alongside the normal pub drinks selection.
Nice friendly staff.
Close to Stansted Airport if you need to wait for an arrival and you need food 😁

The best steak and ale pie you will find anywhere in the country (winner for the people who don't like to much pastry as its made in a bigger dish!
So good I had it two nights in a row ! Pictures to prove it.... Hand in shot /size for scale!!!!
Chips are perfect crispy vs soft.
Thanks to paul as a great host.

Situated close to Stansted Airport, this old country pub bears witness to the war years and its use by pilots based at the then airfield. Several pictures of these young men and local incidents adorn the walls.
The menu is a good mix of what turned out to be tasty food; my friends reported enthusiastically on the Sunday roasts while I was quite happy with my shepherds pie.
Definitely worth a visit.

Visited Jun2021 after a 10 mile walk. Sat outside in the evening sun, gently serenaded by the sounds of Stansted Airport trying to convince the world that it was busy.
This is a Greene King pub, so the quality is controlled, you know what you are going to get. And sure enough, we got a friendly welcome, good service, well-kept beer and good, middle-of-the-road pub grub.
The pub is kitted out for families. In these slightly fake lockdown times, the pub has provided a large marquee for sheltered outside dining, filled with dozens of standard pub benches. There are also tables and chairs on a veranda

Great place for a few drinks and some lunch. Met a friend and found a lovely spot outside on the decking. Very friendly staff, helpful.
All table service which is pretty good. Nice clean pub with good clean toilets.
Lovely food and a good price. Would recommend.

Lovely setting with lots of parking & just a stones throw away from Stansted Airport. Food & service was excellent. County pub feel with alfresco dining outside (could do with a few umbrellas for shade 😁) but there is two seating areas inside which are equally as nice.
