I've asked around for you, but no-one has heard any praises for vets in the vicinity.
I'd suggest that you give some a call and ask them how many rabbits they treat, have they performed many neuters on bucks and does, what are their views on pain relief for rabbits, do they recommend vaccinations, how do they deal with gut stasis etc.
See what you think to their responses and check back and let us know. Good luck
ETA ... someone said they go to a vets in Witham, but not all the vets are bunny savvy.

My friend uses this vet for her bunnies. They were brilliant with her when she ended up losing her bunny to kidney failure. He had countless trips to them, stays overnight and tests and she could not fault their care for him.
They are also the building which is used by vetsnow for out of hours service. I don't know if they have the same vets there all the time, but when I had to bring Luna there bank holiday weekend with severe respiratory distress they were amazing. Really supportive, knowledgable and just really nice, which was what I needed. I ended up having her pts as she got progressively worse and they could not do any more for her, but I honestly think that they did all they could, and they didn't make me feel like an idiot for sobbing uncontrollably over a rabbit (which I have experienced with other vets more local to me).
If you decide to give a few local vets a call, there are some questions here that may help you to decide whether they seem rabbit savvy. http://forums.rabbitrehome.org.uk/showthread.php?267127-How-to-find-a-good-rabbit-vet
