Hawk Battlesbridge Wickford in Chelmsford

Excellent food, good setting and I thought reasonably priced. Selection of food was good and gluten and other allergies catered for well.

Went on a busy bank holiday but unlikely to go back. The menu was varied, great gluten free options as I have coeliac disease with very helpful staff to advise on my dietary issues. The place is even dog friendly si I really wanted to enjoy my first visit to The Hawk. Sadly the visit was let down by poor quality food, starter of scallops was tepid at best, pork main was dry and over cooked. Great front of house staff(especially Stacey) let down by poor food. Unfortunately I will not be back.

Brilliant friendly service, our server Aimee was wonderful. Food was amazing and very filling!

Great choice of food all 3 courses cooked. looked fantastic. And tasted great

Great pub, friendly service and good selection of dishes and drinks. Can get busy at weekends so you might want to book for more than 2 people. The car park can also get packed.

The food took ages and there was hardly anyone in. And when it turned up it was over cooked and burnt. The chips were cold. Can't understand how the food was so poor as there were not many orders. Waited 48 minutes for their garlic bread with cheese! ( the only thing that was warm) The non alcoholic beer is as expensive as alcholic beer and was room temp not cold enough. The bar staff were polite and helpful but the service of the food was poor and well it didn't get eaten and wasn't waiting for a new batch. We already waited over an hour.

Our server was Stacey who was a ray of sunshine. Food was delicious as always

Service staff were excellent, specifically Senita who was very attentive, polite and personable. Food was ok, but I wouldn't say it was distinguished in any way. The cauliflower cheese side dish was a bit dry and needed more sauce and flavour, but food was served hot and quickly.

The best roast dinner on Essex! Great service even when it’s busy. Cannot fault it.

Just had lovely lunch. Food fantastic. Very friendly server, Stacey, whose food recommendations were spot on. Will be back soon.

Amazing food and service. We visited on a Saturday evening with friends who were over from France for the weekend. One of the party had gluten and lactose allergies - the care and attention given to the ordering and presentation of food to ensure no cross-contamination was exemplary. Our waiter Callum was very attentive and also had a great sense of humour! Cannot fault the food or service, well done The Hawk, 5 stars well deserved!

waitress Stacy served us. Amazing service. Always happy

Stacey offered amazing service. The food was lovely.

The best chicken and leek pie on the planet! Stacey was helpful, polite and friendly, knew the menu and had great recommendations. Definitely be back, a must if in the area.

Visited on Mothers Day. The Hawk was super busy but impeccable service and food as always. Stacey was my waitress - what a lovely bubbly lady. Made the day extra special. Thank You.

We were served by Sue at the bar, then she took our food orders at the table, then she served us all night! She was so amazing! So happy, so kind, so considerate, really interested in our how our night has been. Just a fabulous person, a great advocate for the Hawk xx

Excellent meal, my favourite fish monkfish on menu with other ingredients I don't like, so Chef Charlie altered menu, delicious thank you so much. Also had pork & scallops again delicious. Highly recommend. Christian great at recommending drinks. We will be back

Fabulous Sunday dinner, as usual. Food was cooked to perfection. Give my compliments to the chef!

Came to the Hawk for Mother's Day and had a delicious meal with wine. The service was attentive and efficient. Special thanks to Lauren who was fantastic. Would definitely recommend.

Great place, great food, friendly staff and lovely surroundings. What more can you ask for.

Had a sandwich 14 quid nearly very overpriced and chicken not hot with tiny salad no tomotoes

Very nice food , lovely service , little bit costly, service charge added to bill , all in all well worth a visit

2nd time visiting and Items were still missing off the menu or not available, managed to work around what was available, food was cold but our waitress Aimee was amazing and took on board all our comments and the bill was adjusted to reflect this, thank you Aimee

Got a seat in bar area for dining, but nonetheless, it is a lovely place. The food was fantastic, so tasty, hot and attention to detail is fab. The beef croquettes, breads were delicious, the crab and king prawn linguine was to die for. The service and friendly staff added to the lovely atmosphere. I would definitely recommend booking in advance tho as it is very popular.

Heard some great things about The Hawk battlesbrigde so decided to pay a visit . It didn't disappoint the day in question they had a offer on there app of buy one , get one free on mains ( the app I've now downloaded ) so the restaurant was fully booked but I managed to get a table in there beautiful garden on this sunny day . We had bar service where the lovely Brandon help answer all my questions and queries with a smile of his face despite it being completely busy . I must admit all the staff where like this but nothing was to much trouble to them and always polite and professional . I ordered off the lunch set menu .... Fantastic value £20.95 for two course I had the squid with the gochajung and the fillet steak sandwich both extremely tasty along with the spoonfuls of port & cheddar and pea asparagus rissotto that I sneakily borrowed from a unsuspecting dinning companion . Dessert couldn't decide so had the trio ... Why not. All good was delicious and seeing as it was so busy came out it good time . Thank you for a lovely afternoon The Hawk team

We had an excellent meal here and would recommend it

Had a lovely meal at the Hawk last night for my sisters birthday. Food was amazing. Lovely atmosphere. The staff were absolutely brilliant, attentive, friendly, faultless.

Stacey was the waitress she was helpful and cheerful

Had a lovely meal with my family was a brilliant experience, will come again, Stacy was brilliant

Came in for dinner with the family to celebrate a special occasion on Thursday night and was gifted with outstanding service. Food was superb and the waiter Jack was lovely. Will definitely be coming back!

Lovely pub, with a big garden, Food wise we had - the dirty burgers & the pizzas 10/10 ,

We love the look and feel inside but have to be honest the food was a let down. We don't often raise complaint but the food took nearly an hour to come out after ordering and both meals had appeared as if they had been done for some time, I dont know if heat lamps are used but thats what it seemed like. The buttermilk chicken burger was as hard as a boulder and the bun so done it was crumbling apart; it was actually not edible. When raising this with the server we can not fault them and very quickly a new burger was made and brought out this time much better and how it should be! It again made us question that the food had been done for a while as this was made and served quickly second time and was fresh. The pie was also hard and again the mash seemed as if it had been sitting for a while; I've had better mash in a ready meal I have to be honest; it just wasent very warm and was pretty plan and stodgy. I hope things improve as we do like the place but this is the second time the food has been disappointing out of 3 visits.

Food was lovely, especially the dessert (which we forgot to take photos of!). Senita served us for the evening, making sure all of our needs were met with a smile on her face ☺️

First visit here, Lovely Sunday roast, best waitress Stacey! She was amazing & polite thank you will be returning xx

We had a very pleasant meal! Thankyou to our waitress Stacey for making it rememorable

Food was ok but not the best for the price. Great service from our waitress Aimee!

Stacey, was outstanding providing such excellent service.

We had a lovely 3 course lunch here. The food was excellent, lots of variety on the menu, and very impressed with the increased vegetarian options, all of which were a bit more interesting than a lot of other places have on offer, good work! The dishes we had were very well presented and delicious, and excellent value for the quality of food. Stacey our server was great, very friendly and efficient and looked after us well. A great day out!

We had a table booked for 2.30pm for 8 people. Arrived early to drop off surprise birthday cake. We were moved around by various staff and felt uncomfortable. Fortunately when we were all seated at our table the service food etc and our waitress Jenny was lovely.

Stacey was an attentive server. We were not rushed and had a lovely lunch

Went for Sunday lunch/roast, nice restaurant with friendly staff, it was nice and busy and the food tasted great (it wasn't very hot but didn't worry me too much) i'd advise booking ahead, and I would definitely go again!

Senita was an incredible waitress, she really looked after us. The food was really enjoyable too.

Had an amazing trio roast dinner, came out really quickly despite being in a large group. Our server (Sinitta) was so lovely and super helpful which made the experience all the more enjoyable - thank you!

What a great place, lovely food and friendly servers. Nice atmosphere, great setting and not overly noisy. I can thoroughly recommend the pork belly which was amazing! Our party of four had a brilliant evening.

Booked for the dome, was a magical experience, made even better by the staff. Lovely and cosy inside, whilst the weather was bitter outside, such a shame to see them go after mothers day, thanks again to the Hawk team!!!

Food was mediocre & over priced. Drinks expensive.

Had a nice relaxed lunch meal here recently with a work colleague. The food was lovely, good menu choice and decent portion sizes. Also liked the fact they have a range of alcohol free options including cocktails. I had a slight issue with my main course, the pork belly, it seemed a lot fattier than usual (I know some people like it that way, but I prefer the fat to be crisped up a bit), anyway I mentioned to our waitress and she offered to change my meal. I said no thank you, I had just wanted to point it out, and when we asked for the bill, we discovered she had actually removed the pork belly from the bill! How nice was that?! We were sat for quite a while chatting, and they left us to it. Didn’t feel rushed or anything. Would definitely go back!

Great spot to grab a bite for lunch or dinner, we went for my husbands birthday and took the dog- she was very well behaved and we dined in the bar area still lovely and comfy. We opted for a roast- amazing! All the trimmings was delicious!!

The food tasted amazing and the service was very good but the food was a bit cold and the roast potato’s were soggy

The staff looked after us very well yesterday where we had a small wake after a funeral. Everything was great thank you

Overpriced! Almost £13 for a large glass of red wine (wish I had checked prices but no drinks menu on table funny enough)and desserts average at £9 and not even home made! Took 2 hours to have 2 courses, constantly being asked if want more drinks, no lamb on the menu which was my daughters favourite and reason for visit was birthday meal for her, automatically put £16 tip on bill so luckily we checked bill, food is nice but small portions for prices, wouldn't recommend or go back

Excellent meal, the Ribeye was cooked to perfection 👌

Excellent meal, excellent wine the service was very very professional. We really enjoyed our meal.

Found this lovely pub on our way to see a comedy show at Southend. The food was good quality and well cooked. The sever was very friendly and professional.

Lovely pub in a great location . The food was spot on and our waitress was very good . Only downfall is the car park isn't big enough .

Throughly enjoyed our lunch yesterday! Lydia went above and beyond even though it was very busy. Couldn’t recommend the hawk more for its food and service.

We love it here staff are amazing food everytime is spot on and really can not fault it, highly recommed.

Lovely roast dinner on a Sunday in a nice atmosphere

Fantastic food and great staff all round.

We were looked after by Cathy, who was very knowledgeable and attentive. Had squid, fish & chips and crème brill, all delicious 😋

Food come put only warm which was the only disappointment but it's a rather big problem

The best Sunday roast ever, by far. Generous meat and veg, huge Yorkshire pudding and bottomless gravy. Our server Stacey was amazing, friendly and fast. Packed restaurant but the service was excellent. Puddings to die for. Highly recommended ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Spent a really lovely lunch at the Hawk. The food was very tasty and the service cheerful, attentive and professional

Absolutely love this restaurant. The staff are always amazing and willing to go above and beyond to make your meal enjoyable. We were welcomed by Chloe who showed us to our seats and made sure we had drinks immediately, Our waitress was Lydia who was perfect in every way. The meal was timed perfectly between course and was cooked to perfection.Would highly recommend to anyone looking for that perfect meal. The wine and dine menu is amazing and I can not recommend it enough! Trust me you will not be disappointed in this restaurant.

Lovely friendly staff and good food. Nice atmosphere generally.

We won a gift card from The Hawk. Had a wonderful time and experience. The staff were great, the food was lovely, superb real ale and all round enjoyable evening out

I had a nice meal, which was good value for money. Friendly staff, tasteful decor. Lots of parking. A safe bet for a good meal.

Good service and great choice of food and drinks. Will definitely go back.

Introduced to this Pub/Restaurant at Battlesbridge about 6 months ago. It really is superb in every way. It serves the best food that matches many an a la carte restaurant. Service from the staff is also of the highest standard. The chef also offers a number of veggie and vegan dishes that are again highly rated and imaginative. This Hawk pub is a really special place.

STOPPED BY FOR LUNCH, FOOD WAS AMAZING AND EXCELLENT SERVICE. WILL COME AGAIN

Whilst I couldn't agree more that this is a very warm and atmospheric pub I can't give a good review on the actual service. Rushed to order. Bill put on the table when we didn't ask for it and our table wasn't needed as the pub had emptied out by 3pm. Side orders... Absolute rip off. 4 bits of Broccoli and a spoonful of Spinach! Sorry.... Won't be back any time soon.

Had an amazing evening, staff were very friendly and polite. Food was served well and had a variety of drinks. Would recommend to friends and family and would visit again. Ian CSS

Great food and service, steak was cooked and seasoned to perfection. Thanks to the chef!

Went for a lovely meal on the 18th our server Jack was very attentive and you could tell he was very experienced and knowledgeable of the menu, would definitely recommend and we will be coming back!

Incredible service and the food was to die for! Thanks!!

We had lunch here recently, it was my first visit. My friend had the seabass but said it was a curry type sauce and not what she had ordered. I had the soup, it was nice but the smallest soup that I have ever had! It was in a very shallow bowl and only half full. So disappointing.

Really good food and really good value for the quality they are putting out, will deffo go again

Food was amazing and service was incredible. Compliments to Charlie in the kitchen as usual, I always have trust that the food will be prepared and cooked to perfection.

Really lovely pub, came here for dinner with my family and had a great time! All the staff are great, will definitely be back, we love it here!!

Slipped down hill for past 8-12 months. No atmosphere robotic staff food average with no change in menu except for the price increases Been here regularly but the food on more than one occasion has be awful… rarely visit when something is not available on the menu. Lately felt rushed.

Came here for Birthday meal, our waitress Carlie was very attentive and organised a Birthday celebration with our desert. We had a lovely time, thank you

Sarah organised our booking and was super helpful!

A great place for a quick bite or special occasion, service always fantastic and staff lovely

Love this pub, had a lovely meal with the family would highly recommend, Sarah is lovely

Excellent went for my sons birthday, a very nice place, believe it's dog friendly as well.

Had a lovely time here with friends. Sarah was very friendly and would definitely come here again, food was great, thank you!

Christmas day lunch. Excellent value, lovely food and great staff.

New Year’s Eve. Pre ordered, everything was timely and great quality. Entertained all night, which was fantastic. Thoroughly recommend.

Just got home from our first visit to this pub for my birthday. We had a really nice meal, with great service from Senita, she was attentive and friendly and gave me a lovely ice cream treat for my birthday at the end. We will return.

Always great food and friendly service! Lovely pub for a quick lunch or an evening meal.

Honestly everything was excellent. The seating was perfect for us (next to an open fire). Our waitress was super and the food excellent. In fact we bought the chef a drink as we enjoyed the food so much!

We went to the Hawk for their annual Quiz Night, hosted by one of their fab team, Christian….. brilliant fun, even a playdoh round expertly judge by one of the pubs regulars. Made a nice change to do something different in the festive period, will definitely go ago! Food, drinks and service was great on the night.

Excellent venue for a decent hot meal. Great choice of food. Beautiful looking venue. Nice, warm and welcoming. Easily accessible seating. Gourmet food and choice of beer was excellent. Our choices - Steak and Malbec pie and the King Prawn linguine - were amazing! Tremendous, very accommodating service. Prices reasonable for what you are getting. Highly recommended.

Usually enjoy visiting The Hawk, however we felt a little disappointed when we visited recently as we booked the dome and selected the all day menu when booking, but was told on the day we could only order from the celebration menu which were heavily condensed options. The dome was fun, but if we had known we would have just booked inside as we had seen the full menu and were excited by the options.

We just went for a drink so didn't have food but it's a lovely place to go

Staff excellent ,Sunday dinner good , but seems you done away with your dripping gravy such a shame ,

Boxing Day was made special by the hawk

Ate out for Christmas day for the first time. Food was delicious and ordered a red Rioja by the label Tondeluna which was probably the best Rioja we've ever had. Staff were very attentive throughout. Will definitely book this experience again. Well done to everyone running The Hawk.

Outstanding ! Great food, the outdoor domes were great for our little Xmas dinner. It was our first time, and we will definitely be back !

Great food, great and fast service by Senita and a cozy pub Will be coming back
