The best restaurants in Braintree East of England

On such a hot Saturday afternoon whilst walking around the green after lunch at The Fox we needed an ice cream! The coffee ice cream is highly recommend.

Completely missed a dish off the order and not for the first time. We order most Sundays but won’t order again. It’s so disappointing to not receive all your dishes. When I called them they said the driver had gone home at 2040hrs and couldn’t deliver. I couldn’t collect as I had had a drink. The food you get is ok though but sadly we will find somewhere else to order next week.

A 25 minute wait…for a cup of tea. And the scone was dry and stale. The cafe was incredibly busy, lots of people complaining about the wait time. All the waitress said was ‘we don’t have enough staff.’

I visit this store frequently as I live in the area and have always had a good experience for many years but last evening, 28th, I bought a few jellycat purchases for family that were Christmas presents and got outed by the shop assistant as I approached the till with them…..oh here she comes with her expensive teddies…..I laughed it off at first….and said they were gifts for my niece who collects them…..then the lady was laughing and discussing my purchases loudly with her colleague…..”oh only a small gift” I actually found it extremely rude……and actually none of her business what I was purchasing……I was polite but furious as I left the store…..who are you to criticise me for spending money in your shop? Would you speak loudly like that about someone who had bought a load of plants?? I was disgusted and really annoyed!! Not the stores fault but her and her colleague should learn some manners! It’s put me off coming back!! I was in there at around 3-4pm……learn some respect! Not impressed…..!

Fantastic food with lots of choice. Our orders are always delivered in good time by a friendly driver. Five star all the way.

Meat chip box cold plain no sauces witch asked chilli garlic meat rotten chicken burger hard no taste chips cold solid burger like dog meat cold hard chips cold solid very poor food will not use again

Fantastic and adaptable yet expensive drinks and food. Decorations are always outstanding and is great for drive through or eating in.

After using this takeaway for many years. I was shocked to see the price of any pizza that was £6:99. Go now to £30 This was the pizza takeaway that made money from domino pizza being so expensive, as the working person place to go. But not now they have now become the same ripping people off. My advice go to the supermarket: pizza base £0:50, tomatoe sauce £1:00 , filling £2:00 total £3:50, even if you cook it in your own oven it is going to cost £4:00 NOT £30, even if you go to different supermarket it's not going to cost that much. They will say "electricity, staff etc that what puts the price up " not true. VERY DISSAPOINTED IN PIZZA GOGO Witham.

We always stop at this Starbucks on the A12 when travelling towards London, probably around once a month.The team here are excellent, Sue the manager has a wonderful team. They are always friendly and helpful, they actively try to recall your preferences.In these challenging times the team have still had big smiles and are ready to help!Excelllent!

Worst Chicken “Shish” I’ve ever had, poor quality cheap flat chicken not even cubed or cooked as shish and the wrap not even grilled. This used to be my favourite in Chelmsford cannot believe how down hill this place has gotten and what they class as large cheesy chips is far from it, sprinkled a little bit of cheese on the top of a small portion of chips, customer service just as disgusting, complete waste of money.

Walked in... waited for around 4 mins. Someone was scrubbing something out back. Had a table of people sat in the corner vaping. So walked out.

Perfect service , great price , amazing and tasty products will definitely visit again and again High standard for a pop up shop in Braintree village

New management and service even worse and keep running out of certain food on menu and best selling beer

Amazing food, really reasonable, loads of big screens for matches, pool table, beer garden,live music. This pub has it all. Definitely the best pub in Braintree!
