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.

I was originally recommended this restaurant by someone that lives locally, and we have been a couple of times before. This was the first visit for Sunday Lunch. I booked at we wanted a later table and some places shut at 15:00. The restaurant was not very busy but had a great atmosphere. Throughout our visit the staff were very friendly and helpful, you could just not fault their service. We ordered one of the roast dishes and it was served with lovely root and green vegetables. The roast potatoes were the best ever! We all agreed this was our best Sunday lunch in ages, so we will be back!

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 .

Very nice restaurant to visit my food and drink was very nice . Only reason I never gave full 5 stars is portion size I believe a bit bigger would be perfect.

Ordering a takeaway was surprised that the food did seem rather cold. Meat in the chicken Korma did seem that it had been added cold! Bajis also were cold as were the samosas. Feelings the following morning suspected this. Having paid over £70 bill would have expected better quality! Don't think I would give a second chance when there are others in Shenfield/Brentwood area.

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…!!!

Small Costa ,everything you would expect, limited free street parking, 1 or 2 hr max stay, paid car parks within 5 min walk same for rail station.

Exceptional food and service. The staff were helpful and attentive. Beautifully presented food. I expect you need to book. The only downside is the pub is small.

Incredible food and amazingly fast delivery. Would certainly recommend and use again. Thank you.

Lovely pub. First time at the weekend for Sunday lunch family of 4 adults and 3 kids. Staff super friendly (thank you Harry and co for taking such good care of us). Beautifully refurbed with old and new meeting nicely. We’ll be coming back. Food was delicious and portion sizes great. This is how service should be. Still not hungry!!

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!

Fantastic food and service! Our favourite Indian restaurant - always an enjoyable evening! Great place to meet up with family and friends.
