The best restaurants in Braintree East of England

Came in for a quick bite to eat on my lunch break today and was not dissatisfied. Large menu selection it was hard to choose as they all sounded fantastic the ginger barmaid (do apologise I did not get her name) helped me refine my selection for lunch with fantastic recommendations. Swift service with a friendly atmosphere I will be attending again.

Paid £49 for the smallest portions you’ve ever seen wouldnt get a takeaway from this place again if you were paying! Honestly who do they think they are??? Attaching photographs so you can see how ridiculous barely any meat just sauce what absolute scumbags!

Best Takeaway in the area. Great food, fresh and tasty. Friendly service. Would recommend.

This was literally a stones throw from where we were staying so on Monday night (after a lovely Chinese lunch in Witham) we had a "snacky" dinner from here of chips and gravy! The chips were freshly cooked so I had to wait 5-6 minutes but this was not a problem. It certainly looks very clean inside and the food was good and tasty.

Friendly people who provide almost everything you could need in the centre of the village with foods and gifts.

A lovely village pub. Food was hot and delicious and the bar staff was very polite and friendly (she made a fuss of our mini dachshund telling us that she'd recently got one of her own) Our only criticism is the actual pub was freezing cold on a cold, damp day, with lots of draughts from the poorly fitting sash windows and didn't feel like the heating was on. Not what you need on a cold and wet January day when one of your party is a frail 90 year old.

Chaotic isn’t the word! The staff never seem in a rush to get the queue down. I got a hot chocolate today that was very watery! No point queuing to ask for another one made better as the queue is so long in there, isn’t not worth the 10 mins standing waiting. I feel stressed leaving this place. I won’t be coming back

Had a one night stay. Greeted by Luke and given an upgrade to a wonderful room. Every member of staff made us feel welcome and valued. Evening meal was great, breakfast was fine. Would definitely recommend and will hopefully use again.

A great Sunday roast in a local pub/restaurant - excellent food serviced by friendly staff. Highly recommended you give it a try.

I know I’ve said this before but it’s worth repeating,this is THE best food for miles around.Genuinely home prepared cooked to perfection.Great menu,something for everyone.

Excellent food and service, as always!

The bar manager is a wetty. He was very rude and barred my friend for no good reason

Really great night, super food, popadoms chutneys, the onion Bhaji, lamb Punjabi which I ordered and was a little hot wow but so yummy, Chicken Tika masala, chicken buriani, naan bread and pilau, I have to say it was all just lovely. The staff were all super professional and caring but not too in your face. The place was spotless, I was very impressed as I’m not easily impressed!! Well done. There seriously wasn’t a thing to complain about, we as a group if ladies had a great time, thank you!! We will be back

Beautiful food . Fast friendly service good location

Weird food, weird decor and a strict “no refund” policy if you don’t like the food… very odd
