The best restaurants in Ingatestone, Fryerning and Mountnessing Brentwood East of England

Came actually by accident, but had a lovely breakfast and coffee From outside you wouldn’t know what was inside, but it’s well worth a visit

Was working in the area with my sister, had a quick 45min break so we popped to this little cafè. The food came really quick and was delicious. The food came really fast and the staff were polite but also left you to it. Would definitely recommend and go back if working in the area again!

Tried to book but I have a nut allergy. They refused the booking which is up to them but says a lot about their own health and safety in the kitchen. Would they reject someone who is vegan? They obviously can't guarantee no cross contanimation

The menu for a Saturday night was boring have been here before for Sunday lunch & it was very nice & our table was not in a very nice area & very tight as we had booked before we arrived I though we would have had a better table ?

Visited the Plough with family celebrating a 60th birthday. I will say the service was very good, extremely helpful staff but the menu selection is very average with not a great deal of choice. I went for the burger which was ok, have tasted better in other gastro pubs. I expected much more choice hence the 3 star rating. I suggest you make your own opinion but I won’t be rushing back

Booked a table for 2 last night. When we sat down we were told it was their last night before closing so the menu was limited! Why weren't we told before we booked?! Literally 5 dishes left on the menu. Poor quality. Unprofessional staff, treating the place like a youth centre. No wonder it's closing down.

Visited for the first time on a very busy Saturday evening this interesting restaurant in a very attractive small town just of the high street. Its a modern bar/restaurant with an area outside for eating too with free parking. The staff are very friendly and the service was attentive the whole evening. The Asian menu offers main meals or tapas with the best of ingredients used.

Amazing and so good to customers sha is lovely and service is great! Family friendly restaurant and staff are so lovely!!

Bought a voucher for someone. They had a lovely meal and there was £15 left for a tip. They were told they couldn’t use it as a tip. They were not offered anything else for the £15 so lost it. They then had to leave a tip. We used to go regular but not going anymore 😞

Popped in for a cup of tea and asked if we could sit in the garden and were told they thought all the tables were taken but we should have a look. There were two free tables both with remains of meals on them. Having been told it was "at table" service outside we waited.....and waited. After 10 mins I went in to see staff chatting and asked if anyone was coming to clear the table and take our order. The girl behind the counter said "oh! We'll be with you when we can". We waited but a while longer but in the end decided to go elsewhere. As we left I said " We'll leave it, thanks". No response. Overall the service rating on TA is 4.5 so I guess we just got the wrong day, but it wasn't exactly busy.

Had a Sunday roast at this venue, all fresh vegetables, home made Yorkshire pudding I found that the vegetables wasn't seasoned, personally I don't like to add salt to my dinner but today I had to to add salt to give it taste, even the roast potatoes were bland, probably maris pipers which are not the best for roast potatoes, good size dinner

Excellent service, great venue, good music and intimate atmosphere. We had a wonderful experience and looking forward to visiting again. Cheese board is thoroughly recommended. Thanks for being such a great host Paul.

Love this pub. Cosy, good, homemade food, dog friendly in bar, friendly.

Been comming to this restaurant for a few years now staff always make you feel welcome and food is absolutely stunning. Would highly recommend.

Really weird little place it was empty when we got there, but a few people entered shortly after. The music is basically the barstaff searching for links on youtube, not the norm. But i would like to return to this place in the future and will definitely update my review if i do. Has the potential to be a good little hideout but needs a rejig, and a bit more atmosphere. Cosy layout, though. They wasnt serving food, so I didn't have any, I'm afraid.
