The Skew Hutton in Brentwood

We asked Mercy and the team if they would host my husbands celebration of life after his funeral, as we had spent many happy family meals there. They were brilliant and very supportive. On the day, the food was amazing, the staff were so quietly efficient, and they really cared that everyone was happy. Many guests commented how good it was. A huge thank you from me and my family for making the day.

Staff was very friendly the only issue that really isnt a issue it would have been nice to be offer a second lot of bread at the beginning. X

Absolutely incredible food every time we have eaten here, even on their busiest days. The lamb cutlets are drool worthy and the Shish is moist and tender. Everything is flavoured to perfection. The service is excellent and always given a personal touch. Today our waiter Tony went above and beyond to make my birthday dinner special and all staff are polite and welcoming. Thank you Tony!

Generous portions as well as super tasty food. Great variety in the menu from the 'safe' options to adventurous. Cocktails etc.. Great night out.

Had the best time. My sister had her 45th birthday party here. Great food and a stunning atmosphere. 2/3/24 Manda's party. Especially liked the live entertainment. Can't fault it.

I've been visiting The Mesken in Hutton for a while now, and it's definitely worth recommending. The staff there make a real difference – they're genuinely friendly and attentive, ensuring a great atmosphere every time. As for the meals, I've tried various dishes and never been disappointed. The quality and taste are consistently good, making each visit enjoyable. It's become my reliable choice for dining out, whether for a casual meal or a special occasion. If you're in the area, it's worth stopping by.

Nice food nice atmosphere 👌 😋 👍

Absolutely lovely place to meet up with friends and family ❤️

Great Turkish restaurant. Live singer, great service and very tasty food. What's not to like!

Lovely place faultless. I shall be returning

Lovely Turkish restaurant with great atmosphere they also do the best live entertainment followed by the best cocktails.

Lovely to eat in the fabulous garden cabins when the weather is fine. Sharing platters are an excellent options for groups.

Great restaurant and bar. Food is always great here and very nice atmosphere. Love it even more in the summers, it has a great outdoors area that allows dogs so great for a relaxed lunch after walks.

Had the most wonderful night, from the moment we walked in and was shown to our table by the lovely lady, very attentive and lovely staff throughout. Food was delicious. Bubbles flowed so well. The whole atmosphere was amazingly vibrant. We proceeded to the bar after our meal and was site at a lovely table, listening to a brilliant singer who certainly got the crowd happy. Thank you for a lovely experience as always. We look forward returning back.

Great restaurant - we had the one course chicken kebab very good. Attentive service too. Have been here a few times and never had a bad meal.

Fantastic authentic Turkish food reasonable priced and fantastic service

First class dining experience. Great food, attentive staff, very nice facility. Highly recommended.

Great restaurant, always delivers on great food and excellent service. Worth your time!

Great Turkish food in a relaxed friendly atmosphere. Hadnt booked but got a table on a really busy evening. Would highly recommend a visit.

A wonderful experience at the Mesken. Mercy, on front desk was attentive and professional at all times. She made our party special. Staff were friendly and the food was delicious. The bar staff were very knowledgable on their drinks, nothing was too much effort. The singer was amazing and interactive that created a wonderful atmosphere I would highly recommend having your special occasion at The Mesken Bar and Grill, you will be amazed😃

First time Dining here we set up a secret meal to celebrate our mums 53rd birthday here the place was spectacular very spacious great decor inside rustic feel with very nice touches wine racks and great detailed sealings and wall art and outside small touches like what can only be described as glitter in the bricks so as the cars pull out of the car park they sparkle a spacious smoking area also. We ordered a mixed range of starters from octopus to prawns to goats cheese and calamari the thing that stood out to me the most was the prawns in tomato based sauce great flaivour in the prawns but also in the sauce big big compliments to the chef I know it's a basic thing but once this is done properly and right ingredients come together it's spectacular. Moving on to the mains for me I always order Lamb as this is my way of telling a great restaurant from a exceptional restaurant again did not disappoint the lamb was fresh well seasoned and juicy great shish and lamb chop but star of the meal for me was the kofta such great taste of fresh lamb little bit of char colour and herbs in the mix was OUTSTANDING can't praise the quality of the lamb enough welldone to the chef and owner for selecting such great meat The others also had mixed grill and creamy chicken I tryed the creamy chicken tasted great presentation was very unique and even down to the mushrooms the earthy fresh flaivour was mouth watering . Was time for desert we was quite full but we ordered anyways to share apple pie and creme brulee Great flaivour in the apple pie with big chuncks of apple inside nice aromatic spices used inside For me creme brulee was the one it's such a simple desert but once you have a really nice one you will always compare to the mediocre ones . In conclusion great first experience set the bar high and will definitely come back again Superb atmosphere and ambiance with very professional and friendly staff . A place for me to say to everyone please try it and support a great establishment that is well put together along with superb food you will not be disappointed in coming here . Once again big thanks to the chef for the exceptional food and thankyou to the owner for selecting such great meat

We had a great night atmosphere was electric entertainment was great food was quite poor & after eating four of the lamb ribs l ended up rushing to the toilet to throw my starter & everything else back up 😞drinks are overpriced & on top of this we were hit with a service charge of £95 Read the small print guys will not be going back for a Christmas staff do there again .

Great venue, first class food and service,pleasant surroundings, would highly recommend going there.

So it was very very loud. That might be due to it being Christmas. What I would say though was that it was quite expensive for the quality of food, it was ok but I have had better for less.

The food is great, definately I’ll be back!

We had a great time at Mesken in Hutton for our Christmas work do! As always the food, service & atmosphere was exceptional! Nothing is ever too much trouble for the staff there. From ease of booking to service on the night everything was perfect! We are regulars here and highly recommend for larger functions, get together with friends or indeed date night!

Came here for a friend's birthday meal, lovely time, very upmarket and posh, parking was limited I was ushered into a tiny space so bare that in mind. Meal and service was great, fast but not rushed. The lamb was the most tender I've ever had in my life ! Only criticism would be the rice portion was very small & they dont sell bulgar at all which i thought was slightly strange... The drinks were very expensive but I understand you're paying for the environment. Would recommend for a special occasion!!

Beautiful place with great ambience, excellent service & amazing quality of food…

Lovely restaurant with such a lovely staff, big shout out to Hasan who helped us by looking after our little boy while we were eating while restaurant wasn’t busy. Highly recommend this place! Xx

Nice atmosphere ,had a really good evening. The food was really good

Just enjoyed a fabulous lunch at The Mesken. Food delicious! Husband had the sardines for a starter and I had the garlic mushrooms. Main for me was mixed shish and husband had the lamb kofte. Service excellent (as always)

Incredibly tasty food always consistently high standard, especially the lamb skewer! Warm cozy atmosphere.

Such a lovely place to have dinner with your family. So far so good.

Great food, great service - unexpected find in the Essex countryside! Will be back.

Wonderful food,excellent service, would recommend you all to go try the food for yourself great

Met up with family for lunch made to feel welcome by the staff. Food was great, served promptly and authentic.

I always enjoy coming here. Food is excellent

We tried this autumn to book a garden pod for several people as we booked one several times during the pandemic but were told that they don't have them anymore. What a shame, they looked great and offered a private dinning experience outdoors.They could have at least kept one.

Was a lovely visit, I can't wait to go again

Ate here on a Tuesday evening as a party of four at 7pm. At this time of the week, the restaurant was relatively quiet (maybe 12-15 tables in use). Service was prompt and attentive. Food was excellent and a sensible portion size. We ended up with empty plates unlike some Turkish restaurants which can serve too much rice and salad. I had the "Mixed lamb" from the grill and all three of my portions of lamb (chop, lamb shish and Adana Kofte) were excellent and served with rice and salad for £27 Small basket of breads and dips were complimentary whilst waiting for the main courses. Desserts were typically £7-£9 and coffees about £4. Neither were particularly large. Drinks were relatively expensive - £3.50 for a small coke; £3 for a spring water; The hosts are also keep to offer you the opportunity for a drink in the bar before the meal. I was surprised at how many other guests were drinking cocktails as these were not cheap either, Be aware a 12.5% Service Charge is added to your bill. Would happily return for a special occasion rather than an ad hoc meal at these prices.

One of the best Turkish restaurants I have had the pleasure to eat at. Amazing ambience, terrific food and service.

What a gorgeous restaurant with great service and food! We tried some cold and hot mezzes which were absolutely delicious!

Food and service was okay but it was all ruined when one of the waiters had a wee in the loo next to me then walked out without washing his hands

Fabulous food, great service !!

The Mesken offers a tranquil atmosphere accompanied by outstanding cuisine and exceptional service. Their extensive menu boasts a wide variety of delectable dishes and drinks. Every visit to The Mesken is a heartwarming experience, making it an ideal choice for family gatherings and group outings.

Love this restaurant. The servers couldn't be any better, nor could the food - both taste and presentation. Great restaurant all round - even the authentic decor. Very popular which is a good sign. Lovely garden for the good weather too. Mid-week you can use the lunch menu - 2 courses for £16.90 - very good value for such a lovely restaurant and still a great deal of choice. Caters well with vegetarians. Second visit and look forward to returning.

Sadly has gone down hill, portions are getting smaller and smaller.

Food was good as was service but it’s expensive for what it is. Sadly my lamb was very fatty but chicken was good. It’s noisy and so probably wouldn’t come here again as atmosphere was more young parties. Turkish music would’ve been nice

The food is delicious, with quick service , the place looks like it could be out of the 70’s but it’s clean & nice 😊

Excellent food and service. Great decor and plenty of space (you don’t feel on top of other diners).

Lovely food. Nice to see the open kitchen

It was so nice to eat this place. Me and Mum had nice time. The staff were very friendly and we love the food.

I went to Mesken with my friends to celebrate my birthday. Our dinning experience was outstanding. The staff's professionilism was beyond great. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant to anyone!

Full marks for this Turkish restaurant offering a variety of delicious dishes. Waiters are always friendly and attentive. It's a regular each time we visit.

Great service. Great food. Not cheap but worth it. Reassuringly expensive. Edit. Having tied the other 2 Turkish restaurants in the area this ranks at the top. Their food is of much higher quality and flavour than the Doddinghurst eatery that won’t be named. Yet equal to the Fat Turk. So glad this is on our doorstep.

Gave me food poisoning, NO ONE GO HERE

Fantastic food and atmosphere. The staff were super friendly and professional. I’m very satisfied.

Had heard good things about this place from friends so decided to give it a go. Arrived and was shown to our seats, one of the party had to quickly nip to the loo and whilst there was clearly one seat missing staff tried to take our order. Having just arrived back at the table, literally 30 seconds later staff returned to take orders. Not the end of the world but felt very very rushed. We proceeded to order our starters and mains. After ordering we were given complimentary breads which was nice and then 2 minutes later our starters arrived, staff taking the plates away which still had bread on them! Starters were nice enough as were the mains but extremely overpriced… bill came to nearly £300 for 4 people which included a 12.5% service charge, which as mentioned above was not great and felt very rushed. Mixed grill for £30 was very steep considering what it was.. will not return and would not recommend

Nice place But the drinks r very expensive most of the staff were friendly. Don’t think I would rush back.

Our first visit with my children who are very young, the staff members are so friendly and accommodating, food was delicious, atmosphere really good. All the staff joked with my kids which made them really happy, my kids left the restaurant high fiving the staff. Thank you Mesken, we will be back soon

Fantastic restaurant, awesome food, great staff, really nice atmosphere, definetely a 5* place even if it was not a posh one. Love it!

Overpriced. With a vibe that that the waiting staff are pretentious.

My wife and I were part of a party booking (a large party) made in advance. The service was very good, the food delicious. I can't comment on the normal prices as we had a group booking, but we would definitely recommend this restaurant for quality and service.

The staff were all so attentive and offered wonderful service. They were so accommodating of my 10 month old baby and never made us feel a nuisance, even tho he made a bit of a mess! Food was amazing too, will definitely be back.

Great Turkish restaurant with good service and food.

Great food , excellent service and really nice to sit outside in the garden when the sun is out ! 5*****

I have been there afew times, And every time I go its the same. BRILLIANT. FOOD, STAFF, AND ATMOSPHERE. SECOND TO NONE. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.

We came here for a meal on Saturday as a group of 12 people for a pre-wedding dinner. Everyone at the table had a main meal, three people had desserts, and everyone was drinking alcohol including cocktails, beer and also wine/prosecco. The food itself was really lovely and cannot fault it, but the service was AWFUL. Firstly when we ordered drinks before our meal orders were taken, the man who served us looked at his watch as if like trying to get us on and off of our table as quick as possible. Nearly every time we ordered drinks, at least one of them was forgot, and when you would bring this to the servers attention they acted like we hadn't actually ordered that drink. The staff were just very rude and basically made us feel very unwelcome, and this really ruined our night, as we had come out to have some food and a few drinks to for people to meet to break the ice pre-wedding.

Food was delicious, service was personal and friendly. Atmosphere was good, the singer and the music was entertaining and created a good atmosphere. Only negative was the row of party tables were tight, it was sometimes a struggle to get in and out, apart from that a nice evening.

Great evening with friends in the garden. Food was excellent. Service was impeccable. Absolutely superb evening. Thank you.

Always love coming here for dinner as it is a great environment, atmosphere and the food is always brilliant. The service and waiters/waitresses are always friendly and attentive. The food it always great and good value for money. The cocktails are always well presented with great options. The only suggestion I would make is the music that is played as I don't feel this suits the restaurant. The music is always pop music and it feels that the restaurant doesn't match this- I think the music should reflect the type of restaurant that it is. Otherwise one of my favourite restaurants to come to.

Came for lunch today with my mum, sister and daughter. Service was brilliant, great menu, delicious food, really good quality ingredients. Highly recommend. We will be back soon.

Amazing delicious food & service

A lovely surprise. Wonderful food and excellent service. Brilliant cocktails!

Food was 😍 bably the best Turkish I have had. Service excellent, every table was full tonight but we didn't have to wait too long for anything. Good singer, not too expensive, thoroughly reccomend

Very lovely atmosphere and great food

Absolutely appalling. Staff were rude and had no manners whatsoever. Not to mention the rude customers within this area who did not seem to understand basic mannerisms. A women with black hair and orange skin was very rude to us. Will not return.

We came here for a birthday lunch. The atmosphere was amazing, and the restaurant has a warm and lush vibe. The lunch menu was varied, and it was hard to make a decision as all dishes sounded delicious. I opted in, however, for the Kofta with Sagari Boregi for starter. I'm definitely coming back to try their other dishes

Really Beautiful place, wonderful food and service. Can’t be faulted!!

First time visiting Mesken Hutton and I’ll definitely be returning. Food was 10/10. Fantastic service and beautifully decorated restaurant. The bar area was lovely and the singer they had was amazing. Really nice way to end your evening after a lovely meal. Overall couldn’t fault anything and would recommend visiting if you haven’t already!

I enjoyed my visit to this place. Its nice a spacious restaurant, the staff were attentive without being annoying. The Pacific Prawns for my starter were tender and perfectly cooked. I chose the mixed grill for my main and it was also perfectly cooked, very nice succulent cuts of meat. The crème brûlée for dessert was to die for! I would definitely go back here. Recommended!

•Starter - Humus Sigara Boregi •Mains - Rib Eye Steak + Steak Chips Rib Eye Steak + Sweet Potato Fries •Dessert - Lemon Sorbet •Drinks - Pina Colada SERVICE - 5/5☆ FOOD - 5/5☆ DRINKS - 5/5☆

Food, amazing Staff amazing Singer amazing Dj absolute joke. A 5 year old could do better. Being a dj for 30 years i know whats what.

great food, great service and great staff. will always be my goto restaurant in the area.

First time there enjoyed it very much staff very good food great will be going again

shisha was amazing and good flavours

Very good food, very expensive.

The food was delicious and nicely presented. The staff and the venue were very nice, so we would certainly return. I cannot comment on the price, as me and my husband were invited by some relatives, so we did not pay ourselves, but because the food was amazingly tasty, I would definitely recommend this to other people.

It was okay, food was nothing special but good. The service was good and attentive. Restaurant itself was nice.

Great place to eat good Mediterranean food and drinks. Even does real Turkish coffee! Nice staff, attentive, even on a busy night. Got there at 20:15 and were some of the last to leave at 00:15. Definitely would go again.

The food is gorgeous. Good portion sizes. Great atmosphere and attentive staff.

The worst Turkish food ever l had in this restaurant!!! Expensive too …

Brunch was good. Not as generous with the prosecco as other venues. Also I advise not staying after brunch as we did as after ordering one round we were refused service as apparently "too drunk" we were all sitting calmly at the table talking. Such a disappointing end to the night.

Decent. Lamb chops were excellent. Nice buzz.....

Really good quality restaurant both food and staff. Great atmosphere and decor. Great for special occasions.

Great estaurant, very nice decor with a bar / lounge / waiting area as you enter. The restaurant itself is spacious and open plan with doors leading to a very large outside dining area. Fantastic in the spring / summer! Large car park too, which is a boon. As for the food, wow! A varied menu and all dishes cooked to perfection.

Tried this restaurant for the first time recently. Couldn't be better: staff, service, food, presentation all top notch. Restaurant is decorated really nicely too. Great for special occasions and great atmosphere.

Decided to have a late lunch with some friends arrived about 14:30 hadn’t booked but got a nice table the staff were very friendly and attentive food came fairly quickly I had the Mixed Shish which was so tender and delicious It’s a bit pricey but worth it

I really like the serving of food, quality service.

Yes, it's expensive, but I liked it all.
