The best restaurants in Stour Valley South Braintree East of England

We visited for my husband’s birthday. Excellent food and service, a lovely atmosphere, and the Tuesday “buy one meal get one half price” offer also made it great value for money. They even sang happy birthday to my husband when they brought out dessert - overall a really good experience and we’ll definitely be back.

Excellent lunch today with friends. We all ate off the festive menu. Two eating duck. Two eating turkey. Plus dessert. 100% recommended.

Absolutely fantastic place for food and/or coffee. This place is run by WONDERFUL staff. The chef has a real passion for food. The Saturday night foraging menus are something to write home about. We enjoyed every single bite- Thank you

We visited on a Tuesday lunchtime and I was really impressed with the quality of the food. Three of us had the calves liver and really enjoyed it, we also had desert...one of the lightest treacle sponges I have ever tasted, absolutely delicious. It was very reasonably priced. We will definitely be returning especially as one of our party had the pie of the day and it looked amazing. I also liked that on some dishes you could have smaller portions.

Lovely place next to the river. Very high quality food and service, not exactly cheap but pretty much what you would expect to pay for food and setting
