The best restaurants in Bumpstead Braintree East of England

We had a wonderful evening with delicious food and great service and they were very kind in catering for my wife's dietary requirements. Would highly recommend!

Always welcoming. I'm an outsider visiting local friends for many years

Fantastic club dinner, everyone thoroughly enjoyed their food, we were a large group (15) so expected the wait and were not disappointed!

A lovely little garden centre, lots of options and laid out well. The shop inside hosts several local companies work that you can buy, but there wasn’t much stock there. The cafe is a bit hit and miss, the tea is always very good, but on this occasion the food was not the greatest. Small portion sizes, the sweet potatoes fries were soggy and it took a while for ours to come. Closing on a positive however, the people who work there are lovely, smiley and happy to help.

We had a fairly good dinner but unfortunately my apple caramel pie was heated in microwave so a soggy mess ☹️ common knowledge that if to microwave pastry it will go back to its raw state. I had to return it. What a shame it wasn’t popped in oven for a few minutes. The pub was not that busy early in the evening. We had a child with us who wanted a cracker but was told no they are for Christmas menu only. One child only in pub. This was Christmas Eve. Yes really! BAH HUMBUG. We use this pub frequently as a couple but we were a bit miffed. We still left a tip as it was Christmas.
