The best restaurants in Coggeshall and North Feering Braintree East of England

A lovely cosy pub. Now one of our favourites. 9 of us came here for Christmas dinner tonight and we couldn't fault the food or service. Beautiful roast all round with loads of extras and the service was spot on. A big thank you to the staff and Mrs Street.

What was once a pub with a cricket ground behind it has been completely modernised and is now an Indian restaurant, a very good Indian Restaurant ! Although we arrived late (we thought the booking was 30 mins later) we were assured it wouldn’t be a problem by friendly staff, although it was hard to see where we’d be seated as the place was rammed full ! Having never eaten there previously (just going on a recommendation) we whatched the dishes being sent to tables closely and everything looked amazing. Sure enough when we did order, each of us would happily eat any of the dishes, they were flavoursome without overwhelming heat, just very tasty. We will certainly be visiting on a regular basis

Really good Sunday lunch and probably the best I have had in a restaurant. The beef was melt in the mouth and all of the trimmings were excellent with very generous portions. All veg beautifully cooked and the cauliflower cheese was really creamy and umptious. Extra pigs in blankets made with proper sausages and thick bacon, although a bit late, were worth it. Wholly recommend this place for the food and unpretentious atmosphere - plus great value for such a lovely restaurant. Will be back

Well done Nathaniel. Excellent food and drink, excellent service and a grest atmosphere. Prawn cocktail, succulent. Fish and chips perfectly cooked. Well done.

Service is good and staff are lovely. However, this isn't the place to go if you're very hungry. Starters are tiny for the price. Got the chicken strips, which are about £6-£7 but only got 3 strips buried under a mountain of coriander. Main cources are nice but also small for the price. The signature burger is made to sound so very grand but in reality it's very small. The one I had the bun was burnt, which was quickly rectified, but surley the chef and runner should have noticed a black bun and changed it before it got to the table. There are other green king pubs who offer bigger portions for better value for money. That said this is still a beautiful place to eat if your passing or not bothered about portion size. Note that if you are a blue light worker or with the AA, you get a 15% discount.

Before we booked we were told there would be music until midnight Thursday and Saturday, as it’s an inn we assumed maybe music would go on until 11.30 and it was a Friday night. Unfortunately there is no sound proofing between the pub and rooms so we were kept awake with music until 12.45 am and loud talking until 1.45 am, what a shame! The room was beautiful and immaculately clean with everything you could need but there is no way we would return.

Best Takeaway in the area. Great food, fresh and tasty. Friendly service. Would recommend.

Had Sunday dinner and what a delight it was , very enjoyable, would highly recommend the chapel. The main menu looks lovely as well and will be going back to try other delights

Disappointed. Visited with my disabled daughter who is in a wheelchair and my son. Asked if there was disabled access as the front has a large step but was told they did have a ramp but it didn't fit. No further suggestions was given (apart from go to a different venue) so I had to carry my daughter in then get her wheelchair. Our order took 45 mins and a question to the waitress about where is was, for it to arrive. There were dogs barking at eachother across the cafe while people are trying to eat. We ordered a bacon sandwich which was fine. Pot of tea and blackcurrant was fine too. Ordered a bottled water but was given a glass of tap water instead. Ordered 2 veggie all day breakfasts, one plate had half an egg in it where the burnt bits had been cut off, and the other plate had an egg which was uncooked in places. The sausages on both plates had been cut in half lengthwise to fill the plate and appear like there was more food than there was. There was minimal beans and mushrooms. I complained about the eggs and was offered another egg but as we had been waiting 45 mins already, I asked for money off instead. I was offered half price which I agreed too considering the disappointing experience so far. When the plates were cleared, I was then told I was only being offered £2 off instead as the rest of the breakfast had been eaten. I had made it clear that the egg was the issue before being offered half the money off. Why then change your mind after the rest was eaten???? I was then told 45 min wait was due to being a busy Saturday. I didn't consider 2 other tables of people it to be particularly busy when we arrived, nor should there be just one person doing all the cooking if it is too much work. I told the owner I would be writing a review. I doubt we will be returning. EDIT: This was originally a 2 star review. 1 star droped due to lack of disabled facilities. 1 star dropped due to lengthy waiting time. 1 star dropped due to poor quality food. Unfortunately I have now had to drop a further star due to the rudeness of the owner. On paying, I was given a £7 bill for each breakfast which were originally £10 each (possibly because I had mentioned the review) and full price for the rest of the food and drink. I accepted and intended to leave. Unfortunately the owner and all the waitresses insisted on reading my review before I was able to leave which the owner was very rude about. Rather than taking constructive criticism which would in the long run inhance her business in a positive way, she basically fronted me about every point I made and asked me why people like me want to ruin small businesses. After telling her I wasn't arguing with her and she was ruining my childrens day, she openly said it was not her that was ruining it! Extremely rude lady who needs to work on both her customer service and cooking ability.
