The best restaurants in Braintree East of England

Aka is the place to go in witham. Good food and have creative dessert cocktails. Also have asian inspired cocktails. I recommend matcha 88.

Amazing food and service. Everything went really well. Chicken tikka dansak top notch. All our party said their food was delicious. Spotlessly clean, friendly and welcoming.

Had a lovely Sunday roast here yesterday, celebrating mine and my twins birthday. Nice welcoming atmosphere, great location and we will be back. As it was Easter Sunday, we had a cheesecake filled Easter egg which was something special 😊.

We popped in for cake and coffee one freezing afternoon to find it well supported by customers together with a lovely real fire. There is absolutely nothing to fault.

Ginger bread latte was to die for and the cooked breakfasts are huge!! We will be back for some baked treats. staff were also kind!

Absolutely fantastic place for food and/or coffee. This place is run by WONDERFUL staff. The chef has a real passion for food. The Saturday night foraging menus are something to write home about. We enjoyed every single bite- Thank you

Great food and great people, very friendly. Service was great and quick. Couldn't have asked for better. Really enjoyed our Sunday Carvery and will definitely be returning. Thanks again.

Another great night here. Took a few new friends and they had a great time and loved it. Such a gem for Braintree, a place to be in your list if having a night out in Braintree, book or you may not get in! Great cocktails and service

pretty sick, loved the place, gotta love the coronation chicken. reminds of me of when elsa had coronation. cake was fabulous darling.

Amazing food every time and staff are really friendly. Food is always fresh and hot food cooked while you wait. A definite favourite for us

If the managers reading this can you comment on when you are likely to reopen for the public, particularly for the plants.

Very good shakes I would recommend to anyone! Staff is very good and friendly. Best shakes in Braintree!

Perfect full English - came here after staying at Newcombes and attending a wedding at The White Hart. We were very warmly greeted as soon as we arrived and offered tea/coffee, fab service, delicious breakfast and a good price 👍🏻

We chose this Pub for sentimental reasons for a family gathering and we weren’t disappointed. It’s like going back in time but in good way as this is how good local Pubs used to be. We weren’t disappointed and were able to commandeer a large area to accommodate our gathering which gave us a degree of seclusion. The food is different with baked Essex Huffers (which I didn’t know existed!) filled with a choice of home smoked meats such as brisket, pork or turkey, chicken parmigiana, Shrimp po-boy Spicy Mexican beans (vegetarian). Plus the loaded fried are scrumptious. The Staff were very accommodating and helped create a really chilled out family gathering plus it didn’t break the Bank! Would highly recommended.

Amazing place, the food was incredible and the owners are so lovely! They allowed me to hire the venue for an afternoon tea party for a surprise baby shower and they truly went above and beyond with it! Everyone was commenting on how incredible the food was (there wasn’t much left!) and how friendly but professional the staff were! Will definitely be in touch again for future events and family outings as they also provide high chairs for babies/toddlers which is so helpful as I have twin toddlers so it’s great to know they can be safe while we all enjoy a drink and some cake! Thank you Torsbeanie!
