Ranfield's Brasserie in Braintree - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

A wonderful Anniversary lunch on Saturday. 15 people, 3 generations. Everyone agreed the food was excellent, the staff so friendly and helpful and the event was a great success. Thank you, Ranfields.

We took our friends to Ranfields for lunch. One friend is vegan. The restaurant suggested speaking to the vegan prior to the lunch to organise some specific dishes. How thoughtful. On the day service and guidance was superb. Wine was deeply chilled ....much appreciated as it was a very hot day. Mixture of starters ordered and we're cooked to perfection. I had squid which was deliciously tender. Mains arrived piping hot. Lemon sole with a lovely mixture of beautiful veggies sprinkled on top and a delicious sauce. All mains were beautiful. Desserts ordered. I had a lemon and blueberry tart. How the chef made pastry that thin and crisp beats me and gorgeous filling. Lovely mixture of teas and coffees including a fresh mint tea that our friend said ran a close second to fine Moroccan mint tea with actual mint leaves. We left contented happy and full. Love this place and the food was just as wonderful as our last visit. Must go again soon. It's a real treat. Thank you Ranfields. Xxx

Lovely food and great service. We had the veal and sea bass with mussels. Really tasty professional cooking and an ample serving and delicious sauces 😋

Once again this hidden gem delivered! I went to a jazz night with family. Three course set menu with 2 choices of starters, mains and desserts. A glass of bubbly, cheese and bacon Arancini balls on arrival. We had the Thai mussels to start. Followed by the pork belly then the fresh fruit and homemade lemon curd Eton mess to finish. The food was absolutely OUTSTANDING! They were the best mussels I have ever! Eaten. I drank the sauce with a spoon 😂 The pork belly was melt in the mouth. The noodles and Asian veg it was served with was delicious! The Eton mess was lovely. It had star fruit, fresh pineapple amongst other fresh fruit. The meringue was lovely and gooey. The three piece jazz band was great and made a lovely ambience! The service was second to none as ALWAYS! Well done to all staff. You never fail to disappoint!!!

Beautiful rooms,well stocked even a mini fridge,staff friendly Angel was really helpful and recommended places to go

Sharing our wedding anniversary with dear friends (albeit, 60 years apart) we try to meet up and celebrate together. This tine we travelled over from Surrey and went up to Coggeshall for lunch and then to visit the wonderful Paycocke's House and Garden. A simple google search for somewhere to eat happened to produce this absolute gem. The staff were amazingly friendly, the food superb and the prices reasonable. We were enjoying our lunch so much that we stayed longer than intended and unfortunately missed the play that we had intended to see at the House. Definitely a restaurant to recommend and one we intend to return to sooner rather than later.

We enjoyed a 4 course dinner at the Brasserie - the food was good - though I have to be honest and say that I was a bit disappointed with aspects of our dinner which I found to be a bit more on the average side. Its a bit pricey for what it is. However, it could be great! Its not far off so I really hope they keep going because each course was very well presented and served by an amazing team of excellent staff who really couldn't do enough for you, were very good at it and struck the right balance of good service and relaxed enough atmosphere to chill and enjoy your evening. Lovely little place and I do recommend it!

We decided to try this as we often pass it. What a gem of a place. Such friendly, welcoming staff and menu is fantastic for all dietary needs. I am a vegetarian and was spoilt for choice here. We both can’t wait to go back. A cosy, friendly and warm atmosphere.

It’s very good. We had the two course lunch at £23 a head. Food was nice. Service was good. The venue is pretty much the same as it’s been for the past 35 years. Pleasant, clean and bright and airy. Could be excellent, but isn’t yet.

Superb dinner with friends last night. The food was excellent, always enjoy the changing menu and specials board. Service it very welcoming and helpful.

The service is outstanding and the food is beautifully prepared. Fabulous cosy atmosphere and a great choice of food of all types.

WOW!!!! A huge thank you to all the staff at Ransfields for last night. We were a large table celebrating Christmas. The food was awesome and the staff very attentive. These guys go above and beyond to ensure everything is right and I highly recommend a visit. We are so lucky to have this on our doorstep. 🙏

Amazing food as always, well worth the travel to the village of Coggeshall. We travelled 25 miles just to come back and it did not disappoint. Will be back in the new year.

We chose from the lunch set menu. Burrata & Chorizo was heavy in the chorizo and too light on the burrata (small morsels to decorate) salad swimming in oil so very unbalanced with all the chorizo. Main course Fish & Chips - chips like bullets and fish unseasoned and dry inside.. The tartare sauce was odd with cucumber and big chunks of raw onion rather than gherkins and capers. Not nice. Service very slow. Really disappointed as we were entertaining a valued customer.

Visited on a Wednesday night as a couple. Apparently there were two other tables booked but they both telephoned to cancel while we were there. So had the restaurant to ourselves with fabulous food & service.

Lovely lunch and great value. I had the soup and Salmon special which was delicious. Highly recommend this local restaurant.

Out for dinner with close friends there first time at Rainfield and as usual it was fantastic, from the service to the food the whole experience was amazing Thank you so much

A very high class restaurant, fantastic birthday venue. The interior decor has lovely art work on the walls, the service was excellent and the food outstanding. Thanks to the chef for my complimentary birthday message ice cream and candle.

A beautiful restaurant in a pretty village. The staff were very friendly. Food was excellent and reasonably priced. Definitely worth a visit.

Decided to celebrate a new job with a girlfriend here on the back of the great reviews. It surpassed our expectations by a long way. Such imaginative flavour combinations, beautifully presented and served with an understated, chilled vibe. No need to go to London for high end food!

Cannot recommend this restaurant enough. Have been coming here for years, food is always superb, staff are consistently lovely, always make you feel welcome and looked after. Nothing is too much trouble x

We were a party of four. Will was our waiter and he looked after us like we were his family ( of aged and eccentric Aunts and Uncles ). We came for a late Friday lunch. What a treat! Cocktails were perfect and the Bellini was an immaculate replica of a Harry Bar’s signature cocktail. We had a very naughty selection of warm breads with garlic and bacon and pesto. Starters caused a stir with the mussels and the burrata plus a bit of a fight over the wontons and my tempura smoked sea trout. We all wanted everything. Mains were met with silence because our faces were deeply buried in the chilly cid fish bites, confit duck, pork belly and rump of lamb. Chaos ensued as we all fought over the dauphinoise spuds - glorious. All this washed down with excellent selection of wines. We asked to see the maestro Chef JB came out and talked us through his culinary magic. All in all a wonderful experience in the most charming of villages. We will be back!

What a find! A beautiful location with fantastic food. The staff were so friendly and helpful and helped make the evening special. Forgot to mention the delicious cocktails. They also have a great hidden garden area.

First visit and will definitely be returning, food was amazing, staff very polite and helpful had a lovely evening with friends, Cocktails so good as well.

Six of us enjoyed Sunday lunch here which once again was of a high quality. The service was friendly. The ambiance is very pleasant with lots of artwork. The food itself was tasty, the roasts themselves were of a particularly high standard.

The food is good - albeit confused. The prices are okay for what you get. The service is average - not bad, but just lacks someone in charge ... looking after the diners, and not just taking orders and serving food. There is a lack...

Certainly recommend this restaurant. Great meal, excellent service, lovely atmosphere. Thanks for a wonderful evening.

Favourite Restaurant!!! The front of house staff were very professional, courteous and knowledgeable. The food was simply wow! The chef clearly enjoys what he does putting heart and soul into his cooking. See you again soon!

After waiting so long for this restaurant to re-open, we were disappointed. From the outside it looked cafe-ish but I didn’t want that to put me off. The welcome was great and staff very attentive and smiley but the food was its greatest let down....

So pleased Ranfields is open again!!! Food is always superb. Staff are really friendly and nothing is ever too much trouble. Came on 7 Aug for our anniversary and had a beautiful evening. A very talented chef who obviously loves his craft.

Went to ranfields, coggeshall on the 4th August for my 50th birthday, starters no problem, then the mains, my wife found the Sirloin steak chewy so sent it back, they offer the fillet steak and then said it will only be 5 mins? I’m sorry...

A faultless dining experience. Myself and the wife decided to go here to sample their menu on Saturday night. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and that theme continued through the night. We have eaten in many restaurants in the Essex area and we...

Sorry, not a good experience and won’t be returning. Food was overcooked and zero sympathy from the staff when flagged to them in a very reasonable fashion. Full price for that, sorry, you missed your chance to see us return.

Went for a meal with family at Ranfields in Coggleshall lovely food and a great atmosphere. The staff were really helpful and could not do enough for us. JB the head chef even came out to see us after the meal which was a great...

We recently visited Ranfields and it was absolutely amazing from the moment we walked in. The restaurant has a very warm vibe which is greatly helped by the friendly waitresses. We had starters, mains and desserts, and the chef was happy to accommodate my very...

My husband and I had an amazing lunch here celebrating his Birthday. What a gem of a restaurant!! Chef JB is a master in the kitchen, his spin on the classic chicken Kiev is an absolute triumph. Excellent service from front of house too -...

I have visited Ranfields on multiple occasions, extremely please every time (hence the often returns!). Such friendly and fast service, no problem too large, always happy to answer questions. The restaurant is set up lovely, the atmosphere is cosy and warming yet sophisticated. The tables are well spread out following COVID guidelines and staff wearing masks A stunning meal, food comes efficiently to the table, amazing presentation and quality, fresh food. I ordered calamari (religiously my favourite!), the fillet steak (dreamy! Cooked to perfection!) they also were able to make my own request of sauce to order! And mini doughnuts. Highly recommend! The team helped to make our meal personal by making a birthday dessert for my friend. The staff also made cocktails (that weren’t on the menu) for us when asked, really made our night special for us! Thank you Ranfields for once again an amazing evening full of laughs and good food & drink. Cannot wait to return!

I came here for my birthday with my family. The food was out of this world i can't recommend Ranfields enough the service was outstanding from kitchen to front of house. Also received a birthday plate which was a lovely touch to end the meal. There's plenty of options for everyone! Everything was perfect

The food was absolutely delicious, staff were friendly and attentive and there wasn’t a morsel left on any of our plates the food was that good. Cannot wait to come back and will definitely be recommending friends and family to try Ranfields Brasserie!

Ranfields Brasserie is quickly becoming my favourite restaurant of all time! The food is outstanding. The staff are excellent, very attentive and nothing is a problem for them A great selection of wines which compliment the selection of cheeses just perfectly They even do a...

Superb food in a quality setting, Staff here are so friendly and helpful and can’t do enough for you. Great value for money and such an excellent variety of food on the menu. Well worth the trip from Birmingham to Essex. Love this place. Fabulous.

We arrived early, was not a problem got seated, a lot of noise of talking laughing, not really professional. Ordered a drink was not asked whether ice or not . Pint ordered as well. When finished, was not asked whether wanted another one, just lit candles and left the glass. We waited at least 30 mins for the starters. It was ok nothing special, could not see let a lone taste the crab. Sauce nice. Wine ordered had all bits in the bottom and it was like sediment. Thought I would try the fillet steak, again had pate smeared on top. And some kind of hard circle. Then we found out it was bread, but rock hard. No point for that. The rib eye steak was nice the snow peas, we was told oh there just sugar snap peas. Why are they called snow peas, the chips again seem to be heated up in some way. Or just chip them and oven bake them. Again long wait for dinner. Mushrooms nice, peas nice. We decided to have pudding thought this has to be quicker. But it wasn't. Long wait. That was really nice . It was like pulling teeth all night and we could not wait to leave. Masks seem to be a waste of time some wore. People think I'm only Com ing in and sitting down but it's to eliminate the risk. Otherwise Restaurants will close too, if they don't in force it. Whether people are going in and out. Wear the mask ..... Do we complain No why cos you don't want everyone staring. But nothing special and definatley not worth the money. Would we return Nope been to a lot better . Service miles to slow. Not for us.

Due to the layout and location of this extraordinary restaurant, it sadly closed its doors due to Covid-19 until September I believe . We booked as soon as they reopened. And have visited twice.This extraordinary venue is top of our list of “gourmet restaurants”. Attention to detail, little extras, appetisers and palette cleansers are amazing.The food - well, such a diverse menu catering for all tastes. They will stylise your dish to suit your specific preferences, Every dish spectacularly presented and a joy to eat. Everything selected a delight to savour.My admiration for the way they have “re-invented themselves” in such difficult times is unreserved. This little GEM in the tiny village of Coggeshall will struggle to keep their doors open if people don’t go out of their way to travel the extra few miles to get there off the A12 or A120 near Kelvedon & Marks Tey. We intend to visit again VERY soon. Thanks to the excellent chef “John Boy”, Sarah and all the amazingly well trained, competent staff who excel in “service”. Good luck . We don’t want to lose you.

Went there on Sunday for lunch, we can say the best food and service in Essex by far. Excellent value and we will be back.

First time visiting this amazing restaurant... what a treat! Beautiful ambience , amazing art on the walls , fab service and good to die for

We like to save this for special occasions as it’s beautiful, freshly prepared and cooked to perfection. This place is a must

This is truly a great dining experience. The fillet steak was delicious and cooked perfectly. I had meatballs to start with which was a truly wonderful. The service is great. One word of warning, chips are extra. We will definitely be back.

First visit under new name and ownership.We visited on a fairly quiet midweek evening -- the service was good.Decor and ambience unchanged - still good.The food was tasty and well presented but I found the portions to be a bit small.I had arancini to start and they were very nice but not enough --- 3 20-25 mm balls I seem to remember. My main was soft shelled crab which was very good but served with a small portion of noodles and far too many crackers which didn't really add anything other than fill the plate out. More noodles and less (or no) crackers would have been better.

We visited Ranfields for lunch armed with a voucher from Travelzoo.. We were surprised to be seated at a very good table by the window rather than deep in the restaurant. We found all the food presented to be very good and unusually full of flavour and the dishes were imaginitive. It was a limited menu but we found that we would have happily ordered anything from it.There was nothing wrong with the service but we felt it didn't quite match the standard of the restaurant. (a note to the management - please stop the staff adding "at all" to every enquiry to the guests as in "Do you want any more bread at all". It is really annoying).

A few friends and I went last night for a get together.We all chose the set menu which is very good value for money.The food was lovely,the raspberry mojito sorbet palette cleanser was lush.The staff are very attentive and friendly.will definetly be returning to try the Sunday Lunch that i hear is superb.

Business lunch - used to go all the time when working in Coggeshall - still great atmosphere and service. Steaks were really good (fillet) and the tiger prawn starters were as well.

Spent £330 on New Year’s Eve and it was not good food I’m so angry and disgusted I spent that money on such an important night and not a single course was good!The people here should be ashamed but they won’t be cuz no one else will complain cuz they’re all over 70 and rich!they did nothing better than I can get either elsewhere or at home and I feel robbed.The only people in that place who had a good meal were the family of the singer everyone else was completely robbed. Randomly they had a completely different menu that looked half decent! Wtf?!?!?!My family all live in Coggeshall and said this place was good but expensive! They were right on it being expensive but it was not good and I was completely fleeced!This place should be ashamed, duck was pointless and poor and I mean really poor, I had one scallop on that course on a pile of nasty bubble and squeak wtf!!!!!!!! The beef was good but hardly anything there that was it and the dessert was something u could do yourself and I had one bite!!! Terrible! They robbed me because it was New Year’s Eve!I’m not exaggerating or upset just because of the money there was no value for money and other than a small piece of beef I didn’t enjoy a single mouthful! I ate it because I was starving and I didn’t want to ruin our New Years but I wish I’d given the money to charity now because this was pointless! Not for them they’ve made an 80 percent profit but for me it was like being mugged.I watched the family of the singer with their real courses and I can’t believe we got served the cheap nasty stuff after paying £110 a head! £110 a head!!!!!!!!!! Plus another £110!!!!!!I am absolutely disgusted with this place and if you eat here with these appalling immoral people then you only have yourself to blame.I have eaten all around the world in Michelin starred restaurants and I know good food and exceptional food and this hole of a place mugged us whilst they treated the family of the singer with actual decency!!I wouldn’t give a bucket of pee to eat here again or ever go near this place again they are used to people with more money than sense going there but they showed their true colours tonight!!What a waste of my New Year’s Eve id have been better off staying at home! If you ever go near this place you are completely insane not a single course was value for money or good I can cook better myself and if they dare pretend otherwise I’ll issue a summons for libel you got away with it because everyone else there was an OAP!!!! Not the singers family obvs but then they ate well!!!I haven’t slept all night I’m so upset I honestly feel like I’ve been mugged all that money and it was a terrible meal absolutely terrible how pretentious and it wasn’t even good!!!!!!!Staff were friendly but then again so are con merchants! I hate this place and would neither go here again or recommend it and whilst id suspect they may b better with a menu I’d rather give my money to charity than these people absolutely ridiculous!!I dare them to pretend otherwise, I’ll happily take a lie detector test if they want to argue!My family have all lived and worked in Coggeshall for nearly 100 years and the only reason these people get away with it is because it’s New Years and most of the people there were over 70!!!!They bought us a round of drinks!!! Thanks that was very decent of you after £330!

Food very good but staff standing around chatting not good. Better service would be appreciated. Liked padron peppers as table nibbles.

Not our first visit, and definitely not our last. Food is always beautiful and staff are always really friendly.

Beautiful restaurant festooned with paintings. Fantastic food and service. Our dog was made welcome and they have a special area for diners with dogs. We’ve been here many times and will be returning many times.

Ranfields never disappoints! Another great meal and services yet again, will be back soon as this is in my opinion One of the best in Essex!

My husband booked a table for here on Sunday for a party of 6.

Late Sunday lunchtime visit for four. My three companions were very happy with all their 3 courses so perhaps I was the unlucky one.

My girlfriend and I have visited Ranfields brasserie a number of times over the past couple of years. We saw there was a new menu so decided to give it a try. We weren’t disappointed! Great fresh cooked food, and the service was fantastic. We will be returning again soon. Thanks!

Ate here with my family on Sunday and so pleased we did! Service was excellent, we were well look after and our young children were welcomed and fed nice and quickly which meant we could enjoy our meal.

A small number of couples eating with one young waitress working, gave me a menu and took order promptly. Whilst waiting for food two men, clearly regulars, came in and went straight to the bar. They proceeded to have a very loud conversation littered by swearing and obscenities, covering personal health, work colleagues, work partners and customers. None of which was edifying, pleasant to hear nor conducive to a good meal and a glass of wine.

My husband and I last visited 20 years ago when it was Baumann's Brasserie and as we were in the area at the weekend we thought it would be pleasant to return and enjoy lunch. However, there were a number of issues which mean it will be another 20 years before we consider returning.

Oh dear! Or party of 6 had high expectations of this restaurant but unfortunately it did not meet them. Staff are quite young with no front of house personality, which is what this place is missing. A friend and I chose a vegetarian risotto which was really bland, tasteless even with salt and pepper.

Went here with my wife and two friends for dinner. Fantastic food and service. Loved it and looking forward to the next visit already!

Although it’s a lovely old building some of the tables had no light near them . The food was ok the service was quite good but the waiting staff were just stood at the bar chatting in stead of asking if all was ok or paying attention to the customers.

My wife and I visited Ranfield’s Brasserie for dinner. Such a nice little restaurant, delightfully decorated and adorned with paintings and various artworks and having an ambience which is comfortable, welcoming and not noisy. The staff were pleasant, helpful and efficient which contributed to making the evening most pleasant. The food and wines were very good and the whole meal was most enjoyable. We found that the starters were especially delightful and the mains were very good. This is a restaurant that we will definitely be returning to in the future.

A wonderful little find. We were very well catered for and there was great communication between the chef and my Stepmum regarding her allergies, the waitress passed all the information along. Would return again ASAP!

We love our get away visits here service is first class food tastes like fresh local produce and the ambiance is wonderful. It’s always spotless and your never rushed thank you all so much from the Shilton’s x

My wife and I went on a Tuesday night using the Meerkat 241 deals having been to the cinema. We booked for 7.45pm but arrived early at 7.15pm and were seated with no problem. The A La Carte menu has quite a wide selection with also a seperate vegetarian menu and a Table D'Hot. So all bases covered.

Wedding anniversary lunch, prebooked. Dropped my wife outside as pouring with rain, went and parked. 10 minutes later she had not been greeted – staff were chatting with each other – had assumed my wife was part of a large party. No table decoration at all. Glass of champagne each – horrid taste and aftertaste [not charged]. White wine with the meal – inadequately chilled. Belly of pork – soggy ‘crust’, sent back, minuscule portion. My wife’s duck was properly cooked, however. We have been coming to this restaurant since it was initially Langan’s, then Baumann’s, alwas good [except once when garlic bread was burnt – replaced]. Very disappointing after so many years’ acquaintance.
