The best restaurants in Bocking South Braintree East of England

Best subway in the country. Excellent service every single time. The ladies working there are gold.

This is a lovely pub and hotel in the middle of Braintree!! It's a 15 to 20 minute walk from the pub, and there are bus stops at the station too! The room we had was a good size, with large ensuite and a wardrobe for clothes! Big bed as well! The breakfast is a large choice, including cooked! All portions are large but delicious! Food for lunch or evening in pub is also well made and delicious too!!

Fabulous freshly cooked fresh fish and great chips. The service was friendly and efficient

We booked a table for 4 for 7.30pm, we arrived a few minutes early and we were shown to a table at 7.25pm, at nearly 8pm we were still waiting to order drinks😩 when we finally got them the scene was already set, this wasn’t going to be a great night!! We ordered our food and seemed to wait an age for the starters to arrive, which were good… Duck & pancakes arrived at which stage we ordered another round of drinks as we were all empty, we only had 6 pancakes between 4 of us which wasn’t great, we finished the duck and the drinks still hadn’t arrived, when we questioned a waitress on the whereabouts of our drinks it transpired they were not even ordered as the waiter had forgotten them😡 Finally got the drinks and main courses which would have been better if they were hotter but hey hoy by this stage we were all starving. When the bill arrived it included a £12 gratuity which we told them to remove as the service had been so poor, at this stage there was no apology they just took the money… We have been here before and although we are fully aware it’s not fine dining venue the service really let them down.

Worst Chicken “Shish” I’ve ever had, poor quality cheap flat chicken not even cubed or cooked as shish and the wrap not even grilled. This used to be my favourite in Chelmsford cannot believe how down hill this place has gotten and what they class as large cheesy chips is far from it, sprinkled a little bit of cheese on the top of a small portion of chips, customer service just as disgusting, complete waste of money.
