The Retreat Pub in Braintree

Our daughter’s 30th birthday bash last night, with private dinning, absolutely amazing food, amazing staff, could not fault anything. They could not do enough for us and made the evening special. Will definitely be back.

Nick served us a great bap!! Chelsea cooked, and both served us with smiles and courtesy, despite being on the verge of closing. Would definitely stop here for pleasant service and good tasting breakfast!! Thank you 😊

Stopped in for coffee with my wife and the place is simply amazing from the staff to the food. Having had it in the past. I must say the full English breakfast is on par with places like London’s Shard and other top hotels. In fact it’s so good I’d say it leaves London wanting and most other cafes needing to learn how to cook. I’d give it ten stars if could and I my wife and kids would do the same. Awesome must go if you head into Braintree.

Wow! Great atmosphere, great service with perfect timings between courses and the food was amazing!! Definitely going to be a regular here! We had the valentines menu which included the tomahawk steak which we had and we weren’t disappointed! We are now booked in for Mother’s Day lunch where the menu again looks great!! Definitely recommend !

We had a takeaway meal for a total of 13 people. The food was excellent, delivered on time and the service was brilliant. Would thoroughly recommend the Shish for top rate service.
