The best restaurants in Rayne Braintree East of England

Lovely pleasant people food was great

Great place to stop and have a coffee

We had a great Sunday lunch here. Friendly service and good food at a reasonable price. My wife contacted the restaurant in advance as she has some allergies and they made special dishes for her. This made us feel very welcome and cared for.

Stopped for a quick sandwich and a side of chips, which were chunky and hot. Friendly service, not many patrons, so wasn't much of an atmosphere.

Ordered a take away at 6.30pm and was told would take about 45 mins to an hour. TWO hours later it arrived and it was cold. I didn’t call up to make a scene as it wow my daughter’s birthday. The delivery driver did not apologise about it being late and tried to keep me chatting when we had already waited so long for our food. Terrible. So unimpressed.

Excellent evening, great atmosphere and good service.

Top spot just outside of Braintree for drinks. We like to come here for the sports every now and then as we’ve moved out of town but it’s our go to when we’re here. If you’re after a pub with a decent selection of drinks. Good food. Nice locals and a great young landlord who’ll be sure to look after you. This is your place! Great outside in the summer. Cozy in the winter. An authentic pub.
