The Retreat Pub in Braintree

Excellent lunch, could only manage two courses, there was so much on the plate, the staff, Shelley and Ali, make this a warm friendly place to come and enjoy your meal. Looking forward to my next visit, this is indeed a hidden gem.

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.

What an adorable place ( when can I move in ? ) . The food was lovely, we really enjoyed it, the atmosphere was cosy and welcoming with fabulous friendly staff. Being surrounded by gorgeous gift items and trinkets was a great way to shop at leisure.. I absolutely love the uniquely decorated summer house play areas and fun designs incorporated into everything to produce a fabulous vintage fete effect.

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 😊

Amazing pizza and tacos. Lovely atmosphere and the staff are amazing. Great for kids with colouring pens and paper. Food is consistently excellent, one of my favourite places to eat
