The best restaurants in Cressing and Stisted Braintree East of England

Avoid this place at all costs. We'd been sat at our table for 10 minutes, the waiter came and asked if we were ready to order. I said that we'd like to order some drinks first. Before i got the chance he walked off telling me he was going to check the system. We ordered olives to share, they were the ones you get in a jar. We didn't want starters as we wanted to have dessert. I ordered fillet of salmon wrapped in Parma Ham with fresh asparagus, sautéed veg and white wine sauce. The salmon was so over cooked it stuck to my teeth, it was not wrapped in Parma ham, that was just plonked on the side of the plate. There was no asparagus. The sautéed veg consisted of 1 new potato, 2 slices of carrot and 1 piece of brocoli. The white wine sauce was congealed gunk. I sent it back. It took the waitress 15mins to come back and tell me they had no more salmon. By this time my partner had finished his main. He had liver, was supposed to come with onion and bacon, that was missing and the red wine gravy looked more like dishwater. I decided not to have another main and requested a dessert menu. After being given the menu it took the waitress 25 mins to come back and take the order. I just requested the bill. The waitress had the cheek to say we haven't charged you for your main course. I had ONE bite out of it before sending it back. They also didn't charge me for one of my drinks. Will not be returning or recommending this place to anyone.

Had a wonderful meal at Caesars last week; everything was perfect. 6 of us went and all the plates went back clean; an excellent selection of drinks and lovely staff. Highly recommend.

Oh dear. Based purely on our first visit about a month ago this would have been at least a four star review. However, a second visit last Saturday night was disappointing, so a distinctly average three is all I can justify. When we visited on a Tuesday night early in October the place was relatively quiet, we had a great meal and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Hoping to repeat that experience we returned last Saturday, when the restaurant was much busier. My chicken burger was warm at best, and the bowl of chips were no better than tepid. They were also almost all stuck together, and showed clear signs of having been stuck under a heat lamp for some time. A bowl of chocolate ice cream wasn't overly generous, and we left feeling let down after our first experience. I can't see us rushing back.

The atmosphere was non-existent considering there were people there. The food arrived in reasonable time, but I noticed the drinks seemed smaller from the last time I had ordered a milkshake. By the time I got home with my children the food was cold (which we expected), but the fact that things were missing from the order was the most annoying thing. How can fast food restaurant staff screw up an order that is on a screen and they can check list it. It's not as if they were rushed off their feet. KFC has gone down in my estimation as a fast food place as everything seems to have changed food and drinks wise and hiked up their prices also. Used to be my favourite quick bite or treat, but now far from it.

Lovely lunch! Served food by a new young lad who was very polite and was doing an overall great job around the restaurant. Warm and cosy atmosphere. We love coming here and will continue

Forgot half our order had to come back

Great food and sirvice will be recommending to all of my friends and family. The prices were also amazing for wat you get!

I went through drive through and it have to say I'll never go back this is worst KFC I've ever been to No staff long waits and half order missing but worst this is they leave tissue out so forget eating in car I payed and then just threw it in the bin Avoud

Was initially disappointed to see a lot of me no u items unavailable - brisket, ribs etc all not on the menu but was excited for BBQ so decided to persevere. A decision we lived to regret. Ordered at 1820. Received delivery at 2045. In between were six calls with the restaurant during which they variously told us food was five minutes away (still an hour and a half to go at this point), was just coming out the kitchen now (one hour after ordering), had never been ordered at all before then informing us they'd run out of one of the item we'd ordered so they'd be replacing with pork belly. Eventually when the food showed up it was not worth the wait. Pork belly was somehow both over smokey (think creosote/sucking on a two stroke engine exhaust) and under cooked so the fat had barely rendered. The pulled pork bun was weirdly sour tasting and didn't have a lot to it. The wedges probably would have been tasty if they were hot and crispy. Unfortunately they were cold and soggy by the time they arrived. Coleslaw and pickles could have come straight out of Tesco's. Customer service was shocking, delivery took so long I could probably have raised my own meat in the time and when the food came it was bang average at best. To top it all of the restaurant acknowledged our complaints and rewarded us with a hefty £3 refund. Not sure what we'll spend it all on but it probably won't be this crap again.
