The best restaurants in Cressing and Stisted Braintree East of England

I drive past this restaurant daily and have always said I must go there. Well the husband done good and booked us a table. A lovely warm welcome and the food was absolutely delicious we will certainly be back.

Great little pub, cosy setting with wonderful log fires. Service was great, easy, super helpful - offered options and managed dietary requirements. Great food - we were a large party and therefore tasted a large part of the menu, everything was excellent in taste, presentation and temperature. Will definitely be back for more.

lovely place, great food and brilliant service from Rosie, really helpful and polite. definitely recommend the place to go.

Food missing from order , cold fries and greasy meat, large salad arrive in 2 small gravy tubs small amount of salad with sweetcorn that had turned black on some , would not recommend at all

Saturday evening dinner here while having an overnight stop at the Premier Inn next door. Busy popular venue, I had been unable to get a table a few months ago so booked in advance for this visit. Staff friendly and helpful. Pie and mixed grill main courses with spicy crumble deserts. Both meals nice although peas on both and onion rings were cold. Gammon a bit fatty. Eggs as I liked and chips swapped FOC for a jacket potato. Spicy crumble was hot and delicious. Custard nice and creamy and could have had double portion ! We took advantage of the unlimited tea and coffee and were not rushed to vacate our table. Good value at £37 after BLC 25% discount. Will use again if stopping overnight

What the hell is this milkshake that has been delivered to me? This is not a milkshake this is chocolate foaming shit in a cup. Disgusting

I have attended three Christmas Dinners here this year, with different friends. The staff and service were excellent each time, the food very good and plenty of it, prices were reasonable. I did find one turkey dinner perfect, another turkey dinner the carrots were hard and undercooked, and another of my turkey dinners both the carrots and brussels were hard and undercooked. But as the rest of the dinners were so good I can forgive them for this.

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.
