The Pheasant in Braintree - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

What a fantastic pub & hotel. We booked 1 night at ‘The Pheasant’ & stayed in the wonderfully spacious ‘Captain Oates’ room which had far-stretching countryside views as well as a comfortable double bed, good free wi-fi, a large flatscreen tv, a spa bath & powerful shower, a safe and a fridge where we could store the fresh milk given to us. On arrival we were greeted by Sue who showed us around and made us feel very welcome as though we visited every day. I would thoroughly recommend the ‘fromage & champagne’ which we had as lunch (a glass of sparkling champagne with 3 French cheeses on a board with crusty bread, butter, chutney, cherries and quince. In the evening we had a fantastic dinner served by the charming Reuben - I had the homemade chicken and ham hock pie with new potatoes and veg while my wife had the excellent poached trout with potatoes and veg all washed down with a nice bottle of Sauvignon Blanc. We finished with an excellent lemon tart with strawberries and Chantilly cream! We had a wholesome “full English” breakfast with orange juice and tea served by the lovely owner, Diana. We will definitely try and visit this gorgeous pub/hotel in the countryside on the Essex/Suffolk border again.

Excellent food, excellent location eating and drinking looking across the country side, on a nice road, went to this pub years ago, nice to see its still doing well, excellent staff. Will be coming back very soon.

Disappointing meal and high drinks prices. One of our meals was tough and overcooked, but as we waited a while for 4 meals to be served, one by one.... we felt we could not complain, as a newly cooked meal for one would have meant the rest of us would have finished.

We loved our stay here.Perfect for short getaway. We stayed in beautiful accommodation . Very large room, lovely decor, massive bed. Out in the countryside.Parking onsite. Pub was in front so great to have breakfast, and food on site. We could have drinks a stones throw from our room. Diana the owner was so welcoming and friendly. Nothing too much trouble. Evening meals were lovely. My steak was always perfect. Good menu, in cosy atmosphere. We will return.!!!

as friends were visiting and staying here we took a rare visit to at, we add drinks outside which was nice as the weather was with us, and then moved inside for dinner, choices very basic, the food felt like it had been purchased from Lidl and rehashed in the kitchen. rock hard chips burger about 50mm across. the service from the Barmaid was good and knocked of the sweet from the bill when challenged. the place feels like its run on a shoe string, shame as it was the best pub in the area. Sign of the times i suppose!

Lovely surroundings of a typical country pub. Good choice of food and we felt cared for. Superb Sunday lunch. Cosy atmosphere and the locals were friendly and welcoming.

First visit to this quaint village pub. The young lady who served us was lovely and very friendly. Had a very nice lunch and will return. Thanks

0 stars if you are an animal lover or loves nature or loves wildlife, don’t ever go here on the 20th jan I came here with my sister and we sat down to have something to eat….. BUT 10 min later group of people came in covered in blood and dragging a young poor fox inside when I question the staff if this acceptable and allow this they turned around and shrugged there shoulders and don’t care, if you are an animal lover avoid!!!!!!!

Genuinely can’t thank the lady who was working behind the bar on Tuesday evening (21/11/2023). Driving from Chelmsford to Belchamp (2 hour journey due to getting lost and traffic). I stopped as my five month old was needing a bottle. The lady behind the bar made me feel at ease after a very stressful journey and like nothing was to much hassle. She provided me with hot water and allowed me to stay and feed my baby. Thank you so much! Lovely lovely staff x

We have just spent 3 very enjoyable nights at The Pheasant in Gestingthorpe. We had a warm welcome, taken to our very nice spacious room. Very nice furnishings, huge bed and a fridge that was actually cold. We ate in the bar each evening and we couldn’t fault the food. Breakfast was particularly scrummy and no extra charge for smoked salmon! Obviously it’s a small pub so only met 3 members of staff but all were friendly, efficient and very helpful. A good place to base ourselves exploring Essex and seeing relatives.

Beautiful and comfortable rooms with a fantastic view. Had a lovely Steak and Ale Pie followed by an amazing Apple Crumble with Custard. Who could ask for more!!! Lovely host and the pair of young bar staff couldn’t have done more for me. This was a return visit and it will now be my regular place to stay whenever I’m in the area

Arrived late after my original hotel booking at another place was overbooked and was welcomed by friendly Landlady Diana also known as dd…Amazing bedroom with wonderful view and welcome from all the staff and regulars drinking.. Really surprised with the warm welcome with a rural backdrop .. ideal for a solo worker working in the area and great for families visiting. The food was top notch and reasonably priced Would highly recommend

Met up with old friends for dinner last night and it was fabulous!! A beautiful setting, great atmosphere, the two staff that served us were polite, attentive and made us most welcome. My Sea Bass was perfectly cooked, the Tiger Prawns (for just £7.50!) were a good size and perfectly battered! All finished with with a fantastic Rhubarb Crumble. One of my friends had the burger and said it was the "best he'd had in a long time" We've all just finished breakfast, and agree the rooms are stunning, with a view to die for. Breakfast was excellent, bacon and sausages from local butcher were the best! - so we've all booked to come back in 3 months Thank you to the staff for a great stay

I’m not sure what the last 2 reviews are on about but they’re obviously fake. We had a beautiful curry and a few beers at The Pheasant on Thursday and it was fantastic as usual.

We came for dinner but were very disappointed with the so-called Tiger Prawns; they were NOT Tiger Prawns as advertised, they were tiny & not striped or large as real Tiger Prawns. False advertising. They were covered in batter to hide their tiny size. They tasted awful. The Chicken Parmigiano was truly pathetic; a piece of dry chicken the size of a baby rat wrapped in Prosciutto. Utterly tasteless. Sack the 'chef’ immediately before they poison someone. Do not dine here; try Pizza Hut or KFC.

food was microwaved ( we could see in the kitchen), staff were missing most of the time, dated decor, poor range of drinks. if it wasnt for the lovely views i dont think even the rats would come to this place. truely terrible, stay away. funny smell too

Really poor Food was cold and tasteless. Staff were on their phones all night. Funny smell coming from the bar area. Very disappointing

Accommodation is excellent, breakfast and morning service was also excellent. Evening meal was served by a very gruff lady and food was average. A steak, ordered as rare to medium was served well done, it was tasty, but not my taste. Food is also expensive and dining space was very cramped in the pub and not in the dining room.

Food was very poor, service was even worse, atmosphere was as good as a funeral and the smell was the same too

We arrived for a pre-wedding lunch; the kitchen opened specially. The staff were very patient on a very difficult day, the food was wonderful. We were made to feel very welcome. The ploughman's lunch was interesting, thoughtful, very tasty. We stayed in the Thomas Gainsborough room and it was very, very comfortable, very private, excellent. Breakfast was also great, lovely fruit, yoghurt and granola. I would thoroughly recommend it. Well done, a real treat to stay and eat there.

Wonderful welcome from the team. The rooms are amazing, good size and very thoughtfully furnished. We met friends for the evening and we’re well looked after. Fabulous breakfast for us all which set us up nicely for the day. Diana with her team are doing a marvellous job. We will come back for sure.

Was told this was a great place to go for a few lively drinks with my friends. My friend ( the stag ) was very rudely told he was not allowed to have a bacardi and Fanta ( his favourite drink ) because it was only for women !! I was very upset at this. When I spoke to the owner about the rude barmaid, she told me that she wasn't interested in my business and I should maybe a few bottles of diamond white down the park was more our level. Horrible place, awful staff, and it smells funny too.

This used to be such a nice restaurant - food prepared with thought and care and a deliciously cozy atmosphere. It's now basically just another pub with pub grub. The small, once cozy restaurant now has hugely out of proportion tables, presumably for massed drinkers, and even on a cold night, the fire is no longer lit and the lighting is perfunctory. What was once quite romantic is now dead. Nice waitress - hence 2 stars

Lovely little pub with very friendly staff and good atmosphere. The guest rooms are lovely and overall it was a lovely stay.

Friends were staying at the pub and invited us for dinner. The reviews were positive, whereas our meal was dire, sea trout, with boiled potatoes and spinach. The fish was over cooked, the dish had no sauce and the potatoes must have swerved the butter...

Return visit and excellent once again. Food, accommodation and service first class. Location ideal for getting out and about.

Wonderful welcome, wonderful food! The rooms were so beautifully designed and decorated and we had the best sleep for a long time. The epitome of what’s best in the UK for British pubs with quality!

We stayed in the new room at the back, it was amazing massive very comfortable bed, huge comfy sofa and good bathroom with shower. Parking was easy and the location was beautiful overlooking a vast field so very quiet and peaceful. We had dinner and...

Fantastic weekend stay 18/20 Sep. Great service, lovely food and friendly atmosphere. A great relaxing country break. Our room John Constable was very comfortable and had excellent, facilities for making tea/coffee etc all superb. Room was serviced daily, we didn’t expect this in current situation...

Just had a great night away as a birthday treat. The hospitality at The Pheasant is brilliant, Diana and her team are very attentive. We enjoyed a 3 course dinner, great choice of food on the menu, and really tasty. We both had the Ham Hock Terrine which was delicious, followed by home made Chicken and Mushroom Pie and superbly meaty Lamb Chops. The pub is really cosy and intimate and you can see why it's a favourite with the locals and guests from further afield. We had a really great nights sleep, a very comfortable bed and beautifully appointed room (Captain Oates). Breakfast was spot on too, you can always tell just how good a place is from their breakfast sausages, and these were amazing! Would thoroughly recommend this fab little find for a special occasion or just a night away in the peace and quiet of the countryside! Nothing is too much trouble. Thanks Diana, we'll be back for another visit for sure! x

We were meant to stay in March 2020 but that had to be postponed until now. It was definitely worth the wait!!!!!! Diana and her team made us feel so very welcome and nothing was too much trouble. My husband is a Coeliac and is on a gluten-free diet. He had eaten the last of the gluten-free bread with his starter so he couldn’t have any with his cheeseboard. Top marks to the chef for being able to improvise and provide a platter that resembled a ploughman’s lunch, it was superb. The chicken and mushroom pie was sublime. We then had an incredibly comfortable overnight stay with a delicious breakfast before departure (the sausages and bacon were outstanding). We will DEFINITELY return and thanks to everyone at The Pheasant for making our stay so enjoyable and relaxing!

A family (bubble) party for dinner this evening at The Pheasant. 3 courses had by all. Very tasty and well presented with polite service. All covid compliant. Chilli Con Carne and Mash particularly lovely. Would recommend a visit.

After many fantastic visits we finally stayed the night at this lovely place and Diana was simply a wonderful host. We were made extremely welcome with great local food, drinks and company. Quality accommodation and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you Diana & team! Laura, Paul & Finn

Just had a wonderful break at The Pheasant. Room was lovely and food was excellent. Will be back again soon.

Great deal for dinner bed and breakfast, friendly pub, lovely, helpful staff. Room clean and comfortable with nice toiletries. Very good vegan curry for dinner and a yummy breakfast.

Stayed at The Pheasant for two nights. Greeted by Diana and glasses of prosecco on arrival before being shown to our room. The room was spacious with a king size four-poster bed, walk in shower an d had views out over the countryside. Tea and coffee making facilities and fridge within the room. Fantastic evening meals plus great breakfasts. Diana and her staff were very friendly and helpful. Would stay at The Pheasant if visiting the area again.

Very interested to read John Dennis’s review. We were at the Pheasant on the 14th for an overnight stay, with friends, and had a blast. The homemade lasagne was amazing. The landlady was lots of fun. And the locals great. Food tastes like perfect a lovely homemade dinner. Sorry John. Bad day?

I have never felt strongly enough to write a review on trip advisor but his experience was so bad I felt it was my civic duty to let all the hard working public of Great Britain know how terrible this place is.

Just got home from a lovely stay at the Pheasant, was welcomed by friendly staff room had amazing view of the countryside ( we stayed Captain oak room ) nice size room and bathroom very clean and tidy.Had a drink in the friendly bar before evening meal food and service was excellent could not fault the Staff throughout the evening.We had breakfast booked which again was great served by friendly staff just to finish off a relaxing stay. Thank you again to all the staff we will come back.

very comfortable room, good staff, tasty food. drinks a bit over priced but worth it. set in lovely countryside/

My friends arranged a surprise 50th get together here - this is a lovely pub and we stayed the night as well. the rooms were lovely and had a modern feel - great walk in shower. the staff could not be more helpful and friendly. The food was delicious, especially their homemade carrot and butternut squash soup. The breakfast had a great choice of pastries, fresh fruit, cereal as well as a hot breakfast of your choice. Would highly recommend this for any occasion.

A really impressive stay with so many unexpected perks like full english cooked & continental breakfast included & REAL coffee & cafeteire in the room + super modern bathroom facilities. Every single staff member we met was delightful and the view over the fields from our room was outstanding. Highly recommend!

We arrived on spec after a recommendation, on a hot summer’s evening. Having found comfortable seats at the end of the garden overlooking the fields, the landlady very kindly offered to bring supper over to us. We were served to a real feast. Excellent food and wine. Nothing was too much trouble. Very highly recommended.

I have been going to The Pheasant for years and have always enjoyed it. However, I went the other evening and the food got even better. They have a new chef and it is superb. The homemade lasagna was particularly delicious. I like the fact that the vegetables are stars in their own right and not just an afterthought. The landlady, Diana, always has a warm welcome and manages the place beautifully as both a charming local pub and a first star restaurant. Well done!

Very disappointed. Looked forward to eating here, but was let down by, poor service, dirty cutlery, very slow staff and worse food. Will never come back

Delicious dinner on Friday 6 September. Cooking better than ever - spicy mussel bisque, melting lamb shoulder with salsa verde and plum and almond tart. Just great. And a wonderful villagey atmosphere with a warm welcome as ever from Diana, Suzette and the team.

Wow, what a fantastic evening was had by all who attended the wine tasting event at the Pheasant, Gestingthorpe on the evening of 3rd September 2019. We were with 10 friends on one of the tables. For a very reasonable inclusive price, guests were able to savour 4 delicious wines and guided through the tasting process by an expert sommelier. In addition to this guests also enjoyed a scrumptious 3 course Italian themed meal prepared by the Pheasant's new Chef Honour, who lived in Italy for twenty years running her own restaurant. The service was smooth and professional, the staff team led by the owner and hostess for the evening, Diana Donoghue, ensured all guests experienced a thoroughly pleasant and satisfying time.. A great atmosphere with much laughter and happy people. It was especially pleasing that the Chef, who clearly is very passionate about her food, came out on completion of service and spoke to all the guests personally. The standard of food was truly excellent and we look forward to enjoying more first class culinary delights on our next visit.

Our recent visit to The Pheasant was amazing! The new chef was brilliant she served an authentic pasta Alfredo to die for! It was good to see the ‘specials’ were back on the board and we look forward to working our way through the new menu and seasonal dishes on offer. The staff as always were friendly and attentive! We look forward to another visit sometime soon!

Came here a month ago and the food was amazing, was very disappointed to learn the chef had left when we returned. Food was truly horrible, staff rude, owner half cut. Will not be back

Lukewarm welcomed and although they gave us menus, nobody came to take out orders. They seemed utterly disinterested. Won;t be going back in a hurry!

Found this country pub and B & B after a day out in Sudbury. Had a very nice lunch and decided to revisit for Sunday lunch. Beef absolutely delicious but, sadly, roast potatoes and Yorkshire a real let down. No parsnips or cauliflower cheese. It was ok but could be so much better. Delightful staff.

I stayed for 3 nights (6th - 9th August) and was very impressed. My room, the John Constable room, overlooked the stunning countryside and I had a 4 poster bed! The breakfast was excellent, with something for everyone. The all English was fantastic! I had 2 evening meals and both were delicious. The staff were welcoming and friendly and I would definitely recommend this as a lovely place to stay.

Not finding a paint peeling run down village pub...Oh no the Pheasant is a bright and sparkling clean establishment with welcoming staff a small but perfect menu which means it's all good . i have a friend over from Oz soon the local vineyard and this delightful pub will feature they do board and WEDDINGS ..why hang about . john

Friends have been visiting The Pheasant for years and we eventually decided to join them. We were not disappointed. On fisrt look it appears to be a small local pub until you discover the wonderful food and the luxurious bedrooms in the annexe.

We had an excellent 2 nights stay. Room was lovely with a view across open country from the opening doors. Meal both nights was excellent as was breakfast and the service was spot on. A great base to tour the area - but in middle of nowhere itself. Would definitely return again

Popped into the Pheasant for dinner yesterday, the special (Duck Breast) was amazing.

Oh my goodness, what a beautiful place to eat! The restaurant is beautifully decorated and the staff are very accommodating. But the food! Oh my gosh, absolutely beautiful! Best steak I have had in a extremely long time, if not ever! Lovely beer garden with a live camera that the staff were very helpful to get working. Fresh vegetables growing for menus in the garden. If you have not been here before, you need to get yourself down there!!!

Lovely room..big 4poster bed very comfy..great view..nice big towels.friendly staff..limited menu but good food..breakfast was excellent overall a nice comfortable cosy place

A very pleasant stay at the Pheasant on a recent business trip. Very welcoming, superbly stylish rooms, fantastic food and friendly owner/host. Definetely be back.

It’s rare to find a cosy, bright pub with its doors wide open smiley staff , a lovely landlady and brilliant food. The pheasant has a new chef and we loved our lunch time dishes of beef, chili and ginger stir fry and chicken parmigiano with the best chunky chips ever. It’s reasonably priced serves great wine and local beers . There’s accommodation too. Worth a visit ,

Beautiful location overlooking wheatfields. A traditional building with well equipped & furnished modern rooms in a separate coach house. Good Sunday roast dinner & freshly cooked breakfast. Nice local real ale.

Visited the Pheasant for our Anniversary. Beautiful pub with guest rooms. The attention to detail oozes once you walk through the door.

Last night I went to the pheasant with the in laws and brother in law and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed my evening.

Had Sunday lunch today with my partner, one of the best Sunday roasts I have ever had. Faultless 👍🏻

My husband and I stayed at the Pheasant for two nights last week, what a lovely place quite and peaceful.

My husband and I stayed for 2 nights, lovely room lovely view nice pub. Food was amazing, really enjoyed our peaceful stay and would recommend. staff really welcoming

Lovely people, friendly pub, great food, lovely view from bedroom. Enjoyed the breakfast/evening playlists and pleasant relaxed atmosphere. Fabulous home smoked bacon for breakfast. Dined here both nights.

Had a very enjoyable Saturday evening meal here. All four members of party happy with their choices. Good service, quiet friendly atmosphere.

Last night my wife and I enjoyed a splendid meal at this cosy pub. Guest chef Jim had prepared a sample menu that we had pre-ordered from. My wife had the roasted pumpkin and chorizo soup and I had the tian of crab and prawn for starters - both delicious. We both opted for the fillet of sea bass for our main with a crispy skin this was some of the best fish cookery I have tasted. On to the desserts - the Mrs has a soft spot for sticky toffee pudding, so that was her option, I opted for the white chocolate and orange croissant pudding - wow! I wish I had bypassed the other 2 courses and had 3 of these!! Exceptional!

What a wonderful place. Friendly staff, beautiful surroundings and dinner and breakfast were amazing Thank you

Arrived for lunch, very welcoming staff, nice log burners in both bars, so cosy. It’s an olde worldy type establishment. Lunchtime menu was compact, but offered promise.

Spent a Saturday afternoon and evening here with friends to celebrate my birthday (party of 4). Really nice modern accommodation, very welcoming staff. Had a lovely evening meal, although the menu seemed quite simple the food was of high quality, as was the service. Breakfast was great as well. No complaints at all.

Well my wife and I booked here at last minute as an overnight stop while moving home from West Lancashire to Halstead on the 7th Feb 2019.

After viewing the website, the actuality was nothing like the website. In fact, the smell inside drove us out. We didn’t wait to find out what other horrors might be there,

My friends and I (six of us) visited the Pheasant for a nice meal with accommodation for the night. The pub is very rural, so not to many people in the pub when we arrived on Saturday afternoon, although we were greated with a very friendly land lady when we arrived. The accommodation was very nice, as was the food and the attentiveness of the staff, nothing was to much trouble. Bed breakfast and evening meal were duly given with friendliness and expertise. This is a one off place with nothing to make you return because of it's ruralness however, very pleasant and worth a visit.

We reserved a table for 8 stating clearly that we were going for the Sunday Roast. Upon arrival we were greeted well and drinks order was taken. Unfortunately everything seemed to go wrong after this point.

Took my wife for a Birthday Meal at the Pheasant on a Friday night and the service and meal were first class. The young ladies at the bar and serving were excellent, making you feel welcome as soon as you walked in. There was a roaring fire going in two of he rooms making it very cosy. As for the meal we had two courses and enjoyed it very much. This gem of a pub is stuck in some lovely countryside, and the owners go out of their way to make it a very attractive and comfortable pub to visit. I would highly recommend this pub to anybody wishing to have a nice meal out in lovely surroundings.

What a lovely pub! Set in the stunning countryside away from any hustle and bustle you feel like you are in another world when staying at the Pheasant. A very peaceful yet lively place! The food and service at the pheasant is incredible. The menu was small and simple which oozed class and knowledge of local produce. We were not disappointed with our choices and ate everything we ordered. I had the duck which was perfect and my boyfriend had the special of a whole plaice which was also beautifully cooked! The choice of wines complemented each meal and sitting in the cosy restaurant made us feel super relaxed as we enjoyed our meal!

This place is an excellent get away.

We selected accommodation at The Pheasant so we could explore the local area and were delighted in the choice. Greeted by the owner who was so lovely and welcoming it just got better from there. The room was beautiful with gorgeous scenery of picturesque farmland out the window. We went for a walk before dinner and then had a lovely pub dinner. My husband has Sea Bass which he really enjoyed and I had Sausages and mash which was great. The highlight was the Sticky Toffee Pudding and I'd recommend it to all! Had a lovely breakfast the next morning and wished we could stay longer! Highly recommended! Photos are from the window and the field behind.

Booked for one night 2 rooms on ground floor one room fully equipped for a disabled guest. With views over fields, second room also on ground floor comes with own patio, both rooms very well appointed and very large, beds 3 pillows wide, evening meal really good with excellent service, breakfast equally good, we stayed an extra night, you will be hard pressed to find better rooms and food, would return at drop of a hat.

We were part of a large family group and decided to make a weekend of it by staying as well. The lunch and our breakfast was excellent; all homemade, freshly prepared and local produce used. They have their own chickens which kindly supply the eggs for the kitchen. Considering the large group, lunch was served to us altogether and hot. For breakfast, there were a number of options as well as fruit, yoghurt, cereals, pastries, ham and cheese. We stayed in the Captain Oates room which is very nice and the bed was super comfy. The owners, Diana and James, are very friendly and welcoming, we had a thoroughly enjoyable weekend and look forward to returning.

My wife booked this through the Guardian newspaper & well worth it. Spent a couple of days visiting the local area. Had 2 meals here & the food was excellent with great service. Breakfast was fresh fruit followed by scrambled egg & bacon. Great bedroom & a really great view across the fields. I highly recommend this as a place to stay or just to eat.

Whilst family over the Easter weekend, I visited the Pheasant with my family. We had delicious food - I had the home-made steak & kidney pie which was super. Overall, a great evening again at The Pheasant with great service and atmosphere.

A warm welcome awaited us as we entered the property and the glass of prosecco was much appreciated. Our room was spotless, comfortable and had the added bonus of tea/coffee making facilities, fresh milk and water in the fridge and home made biscuits. The quality and presentation of our evening meal was superb and the choice at breakfast was very good. The owners/hosts have built a business to be proud of and we would have no hesitation in recommending 'The Pheasant' to others.

We were a large party of 12 and had Sunday lunch at the Pheasant. It's not a big restaurant and I was unsure whether they would be able to accommodate a large party but the owners were very helpful and put us up a large table in the restaurant area. Despite me changing the numbers several times as various family members dropped in and out, the staff were very understanding and patient! They were also very understanding and patient when after only about ten minutes of getting there, we had re-arranged their table twice, asked for the wood burner to be lit, set all the smoke alarms off and more or less shut down the kitchen as a result! All our fault, and all taken in their stride with good grace and calmness - thank you!

I stayed at the Pheasant earlier in the year with my wife, but due to prior arrangements did not manage to eat there, I wrote a very positive review of the accommodation and said that we would return, and here we are.

Enjoyed a lovely family meal at The Pheasant yesterday. The food was amazing, and the staff couldn't do enough for us. We'll be heading back soon!

Staying in the area at Lovejoys cottage so booked in for dinner. We had a gorgeous meal, could not fault any of the courses. Will definitely book again when in the area.
