The best restaurants in Braintree East of England

This restaurant does not fail to deliver on special occasions, especially birthday. My friend received an on the house dessert, hand written card, and a rose! These small touches go a very long way and I hope this restaurant continued success. Our new fav for family occassions

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 😊.

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

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 👍🏻

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!

I discovered Carrie's Kitchen whilst at the adjacent Wheatsheaf pub. I noticed a customer coming out with a delightful looking cake and couldn't help wandering to see what was on offer. The range of sweet treats on offer changes from week to week and never fails to delight. The two ladies here are always very happy and friendly and always willing to go out of their way to make sure us customers have a great experience! I genuinely cannot recommend Carrie's Kitchen enough.

Lovely friendly staff. Even at busy times the staff remained really focused & served people with a smile. Drinks are very reasonably priced & I will become a regular.

This lovely friendly little cafe has the best cakes and the best tasting coffee I have ever had. Lovely staff. Highly recommend.

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 a fantastic evening hosted by darraline Tasting german wines with fantastic food and firends. Darraline are such good entertainers and hospitality experts everything they provide is theater. Food was FANTASTIC one hell of a spread they put on for sure and totally unexpected. I would highly recommend booking darraline to host your private events you will not be disappointed. Left feeling full content and looking foward to the next one. Thanks guys
