The best restaurants in Halstead St Andrew's Braintree East of England

Nice pub has its own brewery staff friendly beer, ok it's worth a visit

Hat of to curry cottage. Just eaten our take away and it was superb. Would highly recommend to those in and around halstead; we are further afield yet they still delivered. Very impressed

Yes I will be back keep up the great food, The establishment itself is clean friendly staff what more do we want. More of the same thank you.

Absolutely the best Chinese takeaway in Halstead

Really dissapointed with our order yesterday. We had several issues. Seems pot luck here, we've been ordering off and on for years, but seems some staff aren't aware of chip shop etiquette. 1. Everything tasted rancid, clearly very old oil that needs changing. 2.Chips and curry sauce...sauce had already been put on the chips. Never experienced this, always got it in a pot to add myself, to my taste, it was a mess to open the packet... 3. I ordered a chip butty, roll should have come separately wrapped not inside with the chips, the 'spread' and the oil from the chips had made it so soggy. 4. If your going yo have a box online to add any "special requirements", please read it and do as asked. Small issues that just require a little thought.

This place is so good I can almost just vote 5 stars for all and be done with it. Seriously good! I've been using them for about 8 years since they were in the old building at the top of the hill. Had multiple birthdays here, multiple takeaways (I mean a lot). I have never had one issue at all. Every time I go back I'm blown away how good the food is, I'm almost like "do I remember it being THIS good?". Not oily, not heavy, perfect flavour, great choice, one of the only restaurants that actually make the Tikka masala properly madras hot (unlike others that think you can't take it and don't even make it that hot). Staff are like friends you've always known, service is fast. Atmosphere in the new place is to a really high standard. I could be here all day. Eat here with confidence, you will NOT be disappointed. Oh and did I mention the prices are very reasonable too. 5 stars all day long! Thanks guys!!

Really tasty pizza, but I have ordered many times with them and always get past the delivery window (1hr) and have to ring them up to remind them about my order, meaning delivery usually takes at least an hour and a half. Not great tbh.

I've happily used this place now for around 15 years. Now, don't get me wrong, it isn't always perfect, but if anything is ever wrong, it's rectified quickly without fuss. I usually prefer the mixed chicken and kebab combination. It's a very good portion and tastes fantastic. Occasionally, the bag has a lot of grease, but you don't get a fried takeaway for the healthy salad option! Staff are always polite and friendly and extremely professional throughout.

I am visually impaired and a friend and I visited the Bull for lunch on Thursday. I was overwellmed by the consideration and help given to me by Ben. On top of which the food and service could not be bettered.

Recently celebrated a very special milestone birthday and was greeted by lovely friendly & happy staff that always go above and beyond for us when we visit! Even the Manager Marc bought me a drink for my birthday 🥂 bless him! Can’t fault the service at all, top notch! Thank you, you wonderful lot!!

Lovely home cooked food, great service.

Sat down and ordered. Food good but before finished drinks told that they were shutting straight away. No chance to order cake or another drink. Never told us that when ordered otherwise would have gone somewhere else. No wonder so quiet if that’s how customers treated

I've just had a lovely hour sitting having tea and cake in this lovely, relaxing cat cafe having cat therapy. Lovely cats although sleeping mostly, very friendly. Molly the host is very informative and chatty & welcoming. I highly recommend.

Went for Sunday lunch and ordered roast beef and asked for it to be cooked pink, the waitress said it will be served rare, waited and a waiter turned up with very well done meat, we said we ordered rare, he went back to the kitchen only to return with the same put it on the table to say that’s all we have!!!!!!!!!! An older man appeared and blamed the young waiter, we then got up and walked out as nothing else was offered, never go to this pub with staff attitude like that because they don’t care about customers, worst pub experience ever😡😡😡😡😡

Great coffee and the staff were very helpful and friendly as always
