The best restaurants in Brentwood North Brentwood East of England

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.

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.

Good, as always, lovely food, great staff,

Lovely atmosphere and food we went with fiends and we were happy with all Staff were very friendly and kind. Recommend for sure

This is a great spot to catch up with friends we had a blast with the drinks and the atmosphere was great - staff was super friendly and the service was immaculate!

Hiya this demi, the girl who had a complaint about Kenny the ‘head doorman’ i just wanted to put in writing how threatened i felt by this man and how uncomfortable i felt in general. Once my friend had already left the doors this is when she was notified that she would not be allowed back in. Once i disputed the fact that she was not notified before leaving inside of the venue, Kenny became very aggressive and started kicking the door back when i was trying to speak to my friend inside. It almost felt like he was on a ‘power trip’ and started speaking down to me in a very belittling way. he said and i quote ‘if i was your dad i would be ashamed of you’ and that ‘i would never want a daughter as slaggy as you’. his actions let alone his words made me feel so uncomfortable to the point that i didn’t want to return anyway. No other staff members were present at this time, incase he tries to change his story based on other witnesses. This is unacceptable behaviour! I work in and have worked in bars before and never have my security team ever spoken to a member of the public in this way ever before. i am absolutely disgusted and devastated that anyone would ever be spoken to like this, let alone someone who is supposed to be maintaining a level of professionalism. We had a great night at The Merchant and experienced no problem’s before an unexpected and threatening issue occurred between myself and the ‘head doorman’ Kenny. My friends and I have attended the Merchant on may occasions and never had an issue however after this incident, after being aggressively attacked by Kenny, i feel that my friends and i will have to avoid this venue in future.

Love bringing the family to Merrymeade. Our favourite place for afternoon tea. Staff always friendly and welcoming. Great in the summer with lovely terrace and seating area.

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.

Just recently my son ordered a ten piece drumette with fries regular fried, it was horrible. We have been going here for some years now and for the past few times the food has not been like years ago. The first few were fresh and hot, the rest tasted old and were not as hot as the first three on top. The fries were cold and the taste was horrible. I use to order from here at least twice a week but now, I’m not even wanting to risk paying as the prices have went up, not to have good food like before. Please go back to great food!!!!!

Deliveroo would let me rate my order and I feel so strongly about the service I received, I left my review here. Fantastic, delicious food, compliments to the chef(s). Followed my spice level. Quick, friendly delivery. Thank you for the extra item too! Thank you so much again. Best Indian in the area. Highly recommended.

I fell in love with this place during my first visit. It's beautifully decorated, and I really like the vibe it gives off; it felt clean and bright. Our group tried three starters, four main dishes, and two desserts, and every plate returned to the kitchen completely empty. Where do I even start? The food was beautifully presented, the meat was incredibly tender and flavorful, and the sauce tied everything together perfectly. The desserts were amazing as well. Overall, this was an incredible experience, and it definitely won't be my last visit. It was excellent!

Nothing prepares you for a waiter emptying the bin, replacing the bin bag, and straight away handling your coffee without washing or sanitising their hands. That level of poor hygiene is just unmatched. Coast shoukd do better!

haven't had pizza express since i was a child. it's changed a bit but still great
