Inn on the Green in Basildon

Great value for money if looking for friendly pub with really good atmosphere. Screens for sports but they don't take over and distract from the pub experience. I went looking for a place for two families to catch up and the lunchtime menu was spot on and tremendous value. Great selection of beers and really friendly staff. Special mention for Alicia, super friendly and helpful.

Was not taking any cash but my acquaintance Kevin who( lives there) kindly bought me a Fosters as my card had been had scammed and I was for a new one to be sent.

I recently visited Inn on the Green and was impressed by its cozy, traditional feel and friendly service. The food was excellent, with hearty pub classics done well, Overall, a lovely spot for good food and a relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Went to the Inn on the Green on a Wednesday evening with a group of friends for quiz night. We all had the burger and a beer/soft drink deal and all agreed the burgers one great. One of the guys even said it was the best burger he’d eaten in a while, in front of his wife, who said they'd had homemade ones recently, oops. We also had a nice bottle of white wine, which I enjoyed drinking with my chicken burger. Anyway we went for there for the quiz, I was quietly confident we would do well as I had won two weeks in a row with three of my friends. However we only managed to come second to last, due to a reckless answer in the wipe out round. Never mind it’s the taking part that counts, and spending some quality time with friends in a lovely local refurbished pub. Quiz guy was very good, kept the questions going and made sure nobody was on their phone. I would mention his name but I've forgotten it, sorry. Anyway, hoping to go back with my original (winning) group of friends again this week. So if anyone is up to the challenge, grab a mate or a few and come and join us. Quiz starts around 8pm but we got there about 7pm to get some food first. One of us even ordered via an app, from the comfort of their chair, while the rest of us went to the bar. Staff were all friendly and helpful, so I’m happy to do a review for them, just hope we can still get a table if it gets busy.

What an awful experience start to end. Now before I go on, granted, our visit was on one of the busiest nights of the year being the evening of the annual bonfire night fireworks display. However, we booked a table, and arrived with no one able to seat us. Sat us down eventually after queuing at the bar. Didn't give us menus, explain to us how to order, nothing just table and gone. We used the app to order being as we knew how but others would have been sat waiting on a waiter. Anyway, order placed and drinks came, no fruit shoot for kids but was still available in the menu, agreed to swap to cola no big deal. Starters come out, complete shite to be honest. Some of the worst and cheapest I've ordered. No side plates for us to eat off, nothing. Not enough cutlery on the table no one asked if we needed anything. We ate the starters and saw no staff coming. When the mains came after a short delay we mentioned a missing cocktail that was ordered 40 mins ago with the drinks and food that had come out and the manager told us there's a big queue at the bar it'll be coming. Ate the mains, still no drink. Went to the bar and the bar man said we had swapped the £8 cocktail for a £2.50 coke which is not what was discussed nor is it logical. Anyway after all the manager informed the cocktail ordered was not available despite being still on the menu. So changed cocktail and an hour and a bit after ordering had to neck it rather than enjoying as I had places to be. Not one bit impressed to be honest, everyone was rude and the place was far too loud with the music all the way up. Definitely do not visit for food. UPDATE: Whilst I thank the manager for his response I don't believe it is very professional to suggest I have falsified the events. There may have been a misunderstanding regarding the mix up with the drinks but regardless of this the bar tender thought it ok to replace an £8 cocktail with a £2 cola and offer no refund. Anyway the service was shocking start to end and despite being a nice venue an overall horrible experience.

Local boozer good atmosphere great activities great staff

Love the new decor and being able to sit outside under cover. Returned for a catch up one lunchtime and sat inside this time. Love the colour scheme and it was an ideal place for a catch up over coffee.

Good atmosphere and friendly staff. Alicia made our night very enjoyable.

Came down for a few beers with a few mates and the service was brilliant! Will definitely come back!

I came into the pub with a few mates and had some drinks, very friendly staff especially Alicia, Charley and Laura.

Amazing refurb in the last 6 months and has a welcoming atmosphere. Good for sport but never too loud. The small bites menu is very tasty and the range of beers and wines improving.

Popped into the pub for bingo night with my mates and it was a wicked night. Good entertainment and the staff are very friendly.

Visit regularly great pub great staff especially Laura who goes above and beyond. Had the beer and burger for £10 which was an amazing deal

Good pub with very friendly staff especially Laura and Rodney who are very switched on! Can’t beat a burger of your choice and a pint fir a tenner!!!👊

A great quiz night, and a lovely meal and the atmosphere was super.

I went for dinner earlier tonight and the service I received from Alicia in particular was outstanding. The pub itself is very clean, accommodating and inviting. Will definitely be back again soon.

Lovely pub !! Really friendly and the service is brilliant. The dogs really enjoy their trips too.

Great place and amazing service

Lovely pub, miss the pilgrim and the pool table

Nice to pop on here after work for a quick pint. Not had the food here so can't comment on that. Looks good since the makeover

Newly renovated good decor Food is delicious Service with a smile 😃

Lovely food, great atmosphere in this pub. Played Thursday night bingo which was a great laugh. Also had rump steak which was very good quality 👌

Great waiting staff (Maria) but orders took a while getting out of the kitchen

Nice local pub, normal prices. DO BE AWARE YOU NEED TO BOOK YOUR CAR IN IF USING THE CAR PARK, OR GET A FINE. Signs not visible at all.

Nice place, polite staff and good parking

Stopped here today just by chance. After walking our dog(Ronnie) around Lake meadows ,which he really enjoyed. We were served by a really nice lady, who really made our afternoon even more enjoyable, and definitely Ronnie's with the treats that she got for him( sorry didn't get your name), but thank you for your great service. The food was lovely,we had Gammon & Hunters chicken and hallomi fries all cooked perfectly & washed down with a few beers.cant beat that on a nice sunny day when you have the day off. Thank you again. We will definitely be back.

Food was good, service not so much. Starters didn't come out at the same time, my wife had finished hers by the time mine arrived, and then to rub it in a bit more our mains came out while I was still eating my starters.

Great food excellent value and inviting atmosphere and stunning decor. Music on in the background, heaters for outside, dogs welcome ( dog biscuits bin and water readily available) .ors of groups of friends, families and dog walkers. Actually think it has the potential to be the nicest pub in Billericay . Welldone

Nice family pub, good food and great service from the bar staff

Great food and atmosphere, service was really quick and staff were really friendly - highly recommend

Had a lovely afternoon celebrating a friends birthday made to feel very welcome staff so friendly and attentive food was lovely and outside seating was perfect in the sunshine!! Will defo be back and will be recommending to friends and family!!! Thank you 😃 Maria

We came for a meal just after 7.00 this evening. Place wasn't busy but no steaks, no fish and chips so my husband went for Gammon, egg and chips. When it came the egg was broken and just plonked on top of the gammon. We said this was not acceptable, so it was changed and the second one was OK. I had Beef and ale pie, mash and veg. The pie was so hot you couldn't eat it straightaway and the mash and veg barely warm. I have to say the waitress was lovely and very apologetic but we won't be going there again.

An absolute gem, welcoming, spotless, perfect food and service. Such a lovely team. 5* venue, much better than the services we were looking for... so we diverted on the way back for a lovely Sunday Lunch there too! 😋

Had a share plate in there all was very tasty would eat there again staff very helpful and nice

I have always had a good experience being here, besides one Friday evening being told the bar had ‘run out of cocktails’ to only then see people drinking them five minutes later… I had been lied to by one of the bar staff who couldn’t be bothered to make cocktails. Shout out to Maria who took the time to take on my disappointment and turned it around to make me the cocktail I was after! She has amazing customer service and an amazing mixologist skill set to make the perfect passionfruit martini! You turned my night around :)

Pleasant evening with friends, wonderful atmosphere and will definitely return.

Macy was amazing! Great service food was lovely!!!

Great service from Maria, made sure we was well looked after. Unfortunately the food looked a lot better in the menu than it turned up. The burgers were cremated and they represented the size of a digestive. Chicken burger was slightly better, but not amazing for £30 with drinks for two of us. The pub i’d give it 6.5/10. Service was 10/10 from Maria.

Masie was great, absolutely violated my mate so class all round

Nice atmosphere macy was lovely 🫶

Great drinks and service, Macy was lovely and made sure we had everything we needed :)

Brilliant Food and amazing service from the staff, especially from Macie who was brilliant

went for a monday lunch coffee, lovely decor and staff. will be returning.

very good atmosphere, very nice beer garden

Really nice environment! Lovely drinks! Ciara and Claudia were so friendly and helfpul, would definitely recommend

Such an AMAZING atmosphere!!! Lovely and attentive worker Ciara!

lovely atmosphere, great service from ciara

Great atmosphere on a Saturday top service Tom kept all our drinks topped up!

Had a work meeting in the pub first time I have been in since the referb! What a turnaround.

Called in for a drink. Been done up really well.

Really tasty food. Excellent service and a good experience. Thank you

We attended on Friday Eve around 7pm and it was very busy, although we weren’t told about the long wait times for food and unavailable items, when our food finally arrived it was very nice. When I took my concerns to team members they were happy to help and couldn’t do enough to make sure that we had a nice experience despite a couple of hiccups. The refurbishment is very nice and we will visit again. A big thankyou to Macy and team for looking after us.

What a waist of money refurbishing this place all be it very well. The problem is the staff and especially the chef as usual no food. No chicken, no fish fingers basically nothing only chips.

Went inn on green after Renovation. was a great experience, great service, especially Maria!

Came into the pub 35 minutes before kick off for the football and politely asked if the commentary would be on for the football. The man looked me like I was an idiot and said yes. Didn't put the volume on. I asked 10 minutes before kick off, it's great to hear the national anthems before international football. Still didn't put it on and was really not bothered about trying. Served another customer and then answered the phone. 5 minutes into the game, 8.05pm I asked again and was told that he would put it on at 8pm Do yourself a favour and go down the road to Players Lounge instead to watch sport

Very busy so not much seating on a Saturday afternoon but that's to be expected. Nice busy atmosphere and good beers on tap.

Really nice little pub, great quality food and very friendly staff, especially Maria on the bar & Steph in the kitchen :)

What a lovely place... food was amazing .. Brilliant friendly staff... Everyone that was there took the time to make sure everything was ok..Maria had such friendly banter...just what is needed...Best of luck to you all

Just moved to this area recently, some one recommended inn on the green. Visited for the first time, initial experience good size car park, price is reasonable, loads to choose from the drink menu, food looked great, brilliant service by the bar team. Looking forward to my next visit. Highly recommend anyone to come down and visit this pub.

Nice little pub. Great deals on food. Ideal for a pint and to watch the football. Staff were great, polite and speedy service. Would highly recommend

Great Motown tribute night the girls were great 👍

One of the better Toby Carveries in the area. Nice grounds and the food was great. We're not talking Michelin Star of course but good quality, tasty and well priced.

Even though it seemed really busy today, service was spot on. Great service

Don't forget to pay the car park fee, thrilled with a £100 fine after eating here!

good place to come with friends and family, very friendly staff

We come to this pub regularly on Sundays, food was amazing and the service was brilliant! Will be returning to Inn On the Green next Sunday again. Best Sunday Roast in Billericay!

Great experience at inn on the green! Will be returning 100% staff were extremely welcoming and atmosphere was brilliant!

We popped in on our way home and decided to order food. Charlie served us and went above and beyond. The food was delicious

Our local love this pub we love charlie so much

Had a great experience at inn on the green over the weekend! The food was lovely and I could not recommend highly enough, great service from all the team! Will be returning

Very good service. Armond was very friendly.

Probably one of the most friendliest and welcoming places I have been, app members of staff were lovely. Please if you haven’t gone there, I would try it, high key recommend.

Great local, love coming here after footy and on a friday

Always a great pub to go to. Great staff and a great atmosphere.

I always come here for lunch on a Friday Laura is fantastic and great at her job always happy and Charlie is great hard to get good staff these days so hang onto them 👍 😀

I really enjoyed my experience at inn on the green! I will 100% be returning! The team behind the bar were welcoming and accommodating!

Decided to have my Tuesday lunch here and I must say it was the best decision I’ve made when it comes to eating out in a long while, your chef deserves a good raise 😍😍,order the vegan katsu and you won’t regret it!!!

Great little pub. Come in here after work for drinks. Nice a local. Staff are friendly

Loved the pub, really great venue and a good atmosphere on a Friday night! Will 100% return to this place!

Lovely atmosphere and welcoming, the meals are delicious

Went there at the beginning of this month, had a lovely steak which was cooked perfectly, service was great - I was checked up on a few times and made to feel very welcome and comfortable. Heard that they have a few tribute act events coming up and will definitely be heading back for those, thank you!

Lovely atmosphere and community.

A serene atmosphere with a tasty meal. Great customer service from the new chef John 😊

Splendid atmosphere with proactive staff and good blend of food and drinks

Amazing and excellent foods! Especially the chef on Mondays!🙌

Nice pub, spacious and plenty of parking, tucked out the way a bit which is nice. Great for children and dogs.

Propa booza, we love it. Manager is a diamond n all 👌🏻

Really disappointed with this pub. I wouldn't recommend it. I used to park there and never had to pay a fine for parking until now.

Really lovely pub, here every weekend! Servers are always friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere is always enjoyable :)

11/12/23 first time visit no complaints. No disabled bays that we could see, would be handy. Food was fine, wine was around £20+ which is about right, these company’s are in need of profit to exist, so don’t be too hard on them. Toilets were clean although in need of a lick of paint, these establishments have barely existed due to circumstances out of their control, it will take years before they recuperate their losses. In fact we are lucky they still exist. Can recommend lasagne, all three of us had the same dish. Starters chicken strips and a sharing dish were fine. Although we live in Rochford with Southend on our doorstep we would return.

fine if you want to drink lager and sing/play pool. I think that's how it's been for ~25 years. Sorry, not for me.

Lunchtime family meal. First at bar to order food at lunchtime opening, after waiting 1hr and 25 minutes got a refund as nothing forthcoming. I questioned every 20 mins and was told food would be out in 5 minutes. Excuse - that it was due to having a new chef? Will never return.

A lovely pub, so nice to see staff and customers being so friendly and close. Staff really know the regulars. Great experience

Lovely little pub. Great atmosphere, nice food and good selections of drinks.

Great time great service very friendly staff

Just had Sunday lunch here I was extremely disappointed I ordered turkey and beef duo, the turkey turned out to be a small chicken breast (obviously frozen) the beef was so fatty and gristly you couldn’t cut it, and everything else, the potatoes, cauliflower cheese and veg was all from frozen. If I’d wanted a Sunday roast from the freezer I would have stayed at home, which I wish I had done, £22.50 for bottle of red wine and nearly £30 for two frozen dinners 😡 I will not be returning to this pub or any pubs in this chain, truly awful.

Great staff, especially Laura, lovely food. Would recommend

Been in a few times now and again not disappointed. Lovely welcome and service from the staff. Food was delicious and hot. Was a lovely day so sat in the beer garden. Highly recommend

Laura who works behind the bar, seems to be doing everything. She is so hard working she doesn’t stop. Think you could do with a bit more staff to help her out. Such a lovely woman. So friendly. Let’s hope the management appreciates her enough.

Average service and atmosphere, quite pricey.
