The best restaurants in Brentwood North Brentwood East of England

Excellent food, staff, cleanliness and price. Particularly liked the new salted caramel milk shake. A trip down memory lane for us.

Nice, clean and friendly very helpful. Food tasty and nice to see lots of variety. We don’t all like the traditional . Glad to see them back after they left lakeside.

Lovely food rather quick service and also do gluten free hence why we keep retuning small hiccup when ordering the last time we visited but was cleared up fast and food was lovely

Cosy cafe- enjoyed lunch with my daughter. Korben was really nice and helpful too. Really nice place. Beautiful decor.

Really really nice food! Very friendly staff and an extremely clean venue. Highly recommend the lunch deal! Great prices😊

A hidden gem in Brentwood. We visited for afternoon tea as a treat for my Mum’s birthday and she was thrilled. The staff were so friendly and accommodating, especially as I had a pram, and they made us feel so comfortable. The food was lovely and very reasonably priced. Very sweetly decorated rooms and a lovely garden outlook. I cannot wait to return and will be bringing my sister in law and her dog for their ‘doggy afternoon tea!’

Lovely lunch, great service, perfect for the family, home cooked, adjusted for nut allergies. Fab coffee. Just what we wanted for a bank holiday Monday.

I had a rather disappointing experience at this cafe. As a mother dealing with the challenges and expenses of school holidays, I hoped the animal sanctuary cafe would be a pleasant and reasonably priced option. However, I ended up regretting my decision to dine there as the food and drinks left much to be desired. The kids' beans on toast was decent in taste, but the portion size of just one piece of toast was quite underwhelming. The pizza slice looked appealing, but unfortunately, the toppings lacked flavor, and the dough didn't hold up well, disintegrating as I tried to enjoy it. The vanilla milkshake was disappointing as it tasted bland, lacking any real vanilla flavor. And as for the coffee, it was truly atrocious. Even adding sugar couldn't salvage the taste, and the takeaway cups had an odd smell that didn't help matters. All in all, I would advise against visiting this cafe during your trip to Hopefield. It's better to pack your own food and avoid the disappointment of a lackluster dining experience.

Love this spot. it hadn't been here in awhile, still bomb. They even take debit payment/ cashapp.

Pizza and bruschetta bread was undercooked, but still nice.

I had a takeaway of Lamb Biryani and a Stuffed Paratha. I did not enjoy it at all. The 'lamb' was clearly mutton and it was hard with gristle in it and the Biryani was flavourless. I couldn't eat it and therefore it went into the bin. Total waste of £15

Great customer service, store is super clean at anytime of the day. Credit to the manager who runs this store. Fantastic 😍

We visit the Giggling Squid often as this is our favourite restaurant in Brentwood. Service, food, environment, everything is always 5*
