The best restaurants in Herongate, Ingrave and West Horndon Brentwood East of England

Just wanted to give a shout out to the Wild Bean Cafe team, as a regular visitor, they have never let me down. A good selection of coffee , hot chocolate plus hot savouries, love the bacon and cheese turnovers-always served with a smile and a laugh. Covid safe traffic light system works a treat Keep up the good work in these tough times

I have just returned from this restaurant after a truly great meal. We were just about to order the obligatory Sunday roast when my daughter noticed the Specials board. It contained one our favourite meals, pork belly with dauphinois potatoes. The quality of the food wouldn’t have disgraced a pricier venue. And all at a reasonable price. Will definitely be back. Thank you.

So glad the café is back open, it closed for a number of months last year. It is great to stop by for tea & snacks/food after a long walk with the dogs in the morning. Both Sid (GSD) & Archie (Chihuahua) love getting their sausage treat and are welcomed. Good value for money, staff are extremely friendly and provide a great personal service. Thank you

Visited the old dog pub for a Saturday night meal and wish we hadn’t. Was overcharged by £4-00 on our first drinks at the bar…..genuine mistake ? Before I’d put my change in my pocket the gentleman standing next to me was overcharged too. Was shown to our seat by the window and the blinds were absolutely filthy, the decor wasn’t great in the restaurant either. Food was ok but nothing to rush back for. Please check your change or you’ll be paying a certain persons surcharges.

We come here every week and we love it ! Love our Thursdays and the best thing about it is the staff ! Laura has become our regular face on a Thursday and she’s so welcoming and knows all of our usual orders hehe ! She’s the best !

Great pub.very friendly staff good beer.nice garden friendly clientele.well worth a visit.

Lovely traditional pub warm welcome and great food. We were a family of 4 and had a wonderful Sunday roast with all the trimmings. Will be going back soon

Unfortunately our second visit was not as enjoyable, although the pub was busy we had to wait 15 minutes and ask for somebody to take our drinks order, starters and mains were excellent again but plates not cleared at the end and even though desert menu was asked for, nothing produced after 10 minutes when we the decided to pay the bill and leave, unsure if we would return solely down to the service sadly

Food and drinks are very nice and arrived quickly. My go-to starbucks since it’s the nearest and the nicest one i know of.
