The best restaurants in Cressing and Stisted Braintree East of England

The food was delicious, well presented and in sensible but not meager portions. Service was attentive without being obtrusive. Overall everything you could want for an enjoyable meal out. Also the prices were very reasonable.

This chef is exceptional, and I would know. I only review very rarely, for excellence. This place is such. If you like your liver as smooth as silk, and as tender as chocolate mousse, come here. Awesome pizza, gorgeous mussels and octopus. What’s not to love? 2 drinks 2 starters 2 main courses. Less than £70.00

The fillet steak was cooked perfectly. Adjustments to the meal were dealt with professionally and the service was exceptional.

The one way system is rubbing and parking is rubbish, also there's no bays to wait for food if they tell you to drive off, so you have to drive around the car park 3 times to find a space

Awful. Paltry, typed menu with very little to choose from - no fish, festive meal, gammon, chicken, etc. I ordered whole-tail scampi but received a helping of the smallest scampi balls ever seen, with a few chips and peas - all only warm. Dessert of Banoffee cheese cake which tasted nothing like it, with a coupe of slices of banana and about 6 minute blobs of chocolate in the most unattractive arrangement possible. Lukewarm coffee to finish. I know its not masterchef but this whole experience was dreadful and worse than a roadside cafe. Receivership looms?

McDonald's was lovely. The staff were friendly, polite and helpful. The food was great. We did order our ice creams at the same time as our main meal but asked two different members of staff for them not to come out until we'd finished our meal. Well they did arrive at the same time as our main meal but the young man put them in the freezer for us until we were ready. The toilets were only big enough for two people to be in there at a time. The parking was like the American style, at an angle, which I like. There were disabled spaces and a time limit of 90 minutes. I will definitely recommend it here and will return.

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.
