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

There is only takeaway, no dining in.

Charming ambiance, attentive staff, and delicious food. Highly recommend this restaurant!

I have visited and eaten at the Star Inn 4-5 times for lunch over the last 4 months. I commute between Colchester and West London and like to stop at the Star Inn whenever possible. Fantastic decor, fantastic staff, fantastic service and fantastic food. Great value for money. The chef knows his stuff. Would highly recommend. Restaurant manager is always very professional and friendly. Ps. Please bring back the pork belly and dauphinoise. It was excellent.

The viper is a traditional pub with a good garden in Fryerning Village Pleasant but not exceptional fine for a pre dinner drink we didn’t eat so cannot review food

Love their apple Danish!!! Very helpful waitress and they sort out light meals. Closes far too early and they make sure customers leave before 3pm as they clean before they shut. Very good coffee!

What's not to love? Very good and tasty coffee, chilled atmosphere, and friendly staff always full of smiles. Love it x

Friendly local pub. Lovely food with lots of choice (portions too big for me) and pleasant staff. Will definitely be going back soon.

Great meal with my friends, very friendly staff especially Charlie who helped us get a table when availability was full. Dinner was lovely I had the steak pie and it was unbelievable. All the girls behind the bar are diamonds.

Booked a table for Sunday lunch and the table we were allocated was tucked in a dark corner with poor lighting and felt like we were in a small cupboard . We did ask if we could move on to one of the many empty table but were refused as they were reserved I didn’t realise it was an option to reserved a specific table? A constant chair knock from the passing servers forced me to push our table further in to the cupboard. The disappointment didn’t stop their pate starter was served with thin hard crisp bread. The roast beef was wafer thin and served with courgette? Not a suitable vegetable for a Sunday roast in my opinion. However I did order a cauliflower cheese but more disappointed, it was tangy. I decided against eating it. The servers didn’t compensate with hospitality they were huffy and puffy and everything seemed to much trouble which in result made us feel invaluable and unwelcome. Didn’t bother with a pudding as honestly just didn’t want to spend any more money with this establishment.
