The best restaurants in Shenfield Brentwood East of England

So glad Brentwood now has an amazing Chef. Every dish here I cannot fault. Fresh, tasty, well presented. The whole team are lovely. Well done.

Once again, we headed to Sienna's for Sunday lunch. And, once again, we were not disappointed. Having also had some excellent evening birthday meals here, it's high time to share a review...With just enough covers to give the restaurant a welcoming atmosphere but not too many to lose its intimacy this is a superb spot for Sunday lunch or weekend dinner. The fixed price (two/three-course) Sunday menu has a great choice of tasty starters, mains including, of course, the staple roast beef dinner, which was first-class. There was no room for desserts but the blackboard did have some very appealing sweets chalked upon it, too. With cocktails, beers and a decent choice of wines, there's something for everyone at all levels and at a price that represents good value for money in this day and age. The young servers were efficient, polite and helpful, too. The owners have clearly come up with a winning formula. Definitely worth a visit.

Went last night for the first time to celebrate a family birthday. The food was fantastic, staff could not have been friendlier or helpful. Reasonable prices too for Shenfield.. will definitely revisit !

Just the best here!!!! Visited several time since first finding it in February this year, travelling by train from Ilford. Absolutely worth the journey. Its like an oasis in a desert. All the staff are so luvvvvvverly, and really can't do enough for you. The menu is so original, the food is really good, with a constantly changing "daily specials" choice, and their home made really cakes are amazing. Who needs fancy London venues, prices and crazy crowds. Well done to all at Woody's and yes, we'll be back. Michael G.

What a coffee shop should be , very friendly and love to treat any pets that visit so they enjoy it too . Great coffee , very clean , love the cakes yet to sample the lunch but it looks great .

I requested sausage sandwich with ketchup. The sausage was not all there it was practically half and there was no ketchup. Sandwich was incomplete and not hot!

I ordered motor paneer, tarka daal, and veg Passanda. From the vegetables to the paneer cheese, everything was mushy, and tasted suspiciously similar. All ready for takeaway in 20 minutes... Not awful, but not great. I've definitely had better at other Indian restaurants.

We have had Sunday lunch several times in the last 2 years and the standard has definitely dropped. Soggy roast potatoes undercooked vegetables. Such a shame.

BE CAREFUL, ordered a spirit & mixer and was served a double (which I didn’t not ask for or want!)… This has happened on both the last occasions I visited. Luckily I was sober and my taste buds knew how strong this small glass of drink was so I questioned it… Bad business just trying to sell more alcohol to what seems like a more younger crowd these days. Also dangerous to anyone who may be limiting or tracking their drinking. Used to really enjoy a late night stop off at the vault, until recently… Last two times I’ve been in there not only do you have to now pay to get in there & queue, the bar staff (most, not all) and what appears to be a new manager are so so rude… You don’t serve someone a double unless they ask for it!! Be careful everyone not only are you drinking more than you realise, they are charging you more money than you need to spend…!!!

I come here about once a week the staff are always lovely and so polite, even when it's busy they are calm and very attentive the coffee is made so quickly and always delicious thank you

Food was fantastic, had the trio of roasts and all three meats were spot on. Some of the best chicken I’ve had in a very long time and the roast potatoes were lovely. Service was also great.

Only half the order delivered! A refund was requested but the system to allow this is difficult to manage !

so.. not sure on the "we're filming you for social media signs", but for me, yes it's refurbished and the outside does look good. The inside however now feels smaller, there are definitely less seats, it is not a relaxing pub at all (it was once). Perhaps some UX testing will be carried out by the owner including reading customer reviews so that in the future it will be worth a visit again..

Went here this evening to see what it was like and was warmly greeted by the staff and seated very quickly. The staff were very friendly and attentive, the wines were really good and the Sunday roast was one of the best we’ve ever had. I’m very fussy when it comes to roast dinners and honestly, it was insane! We will certainly be back!

Best indian in brentwood - dont do delivery service, collection only. Amazing quality meal and good value, have brought many friends and family who all agree the food is some of the best they have had
