The best restaurants in Tipps Cross Brentwood East of England

Very ordinary evening menu,not told what wasn't available on menu until I had struggled to find choice and then ordered,Haddock, dry,small plate options mine very oily apart from cauliflower,halumi,tempura prawn.the lunchtime menu looks better so choose when you go

A nice friendly staff and interesting antiques and a nice tea and coffee the lady who owns it was very knowledgeable it was nice and relaxed atmosphere, would visit again, prices reasonable.

We called into The Leather Bottle for lunch yesterday which was a very cold day. We particularly chose here because of the log burner in the bar which on previous occasions has been lit and roaring away. Unfortunately yesterday the log burner wasn’t lit and no central heating was on making an unwelcome atmosphere! I asked I they could light the fire because we were cold and were told the chimney hadn’t been swept! Will think twice about going back there in the Winter as there are lots of good pubs better prepared and are at least prepared to put the heating on!

Happy with the food and service. Only negative comments is that the furniture is looking shabby and the toilets are not great and need a good spruce. First impressions etc etc.

The people have no idea how to run a bar or restaurant There is the most basic menus and the food is ok what there is The family children, in law who ever they are just walk to and fro in front of you. There is no control,toys on the floor no dress standard no uniform. Only four stars for health standard which makes you worried. It appears that the Family on a whim thought let’s buy a pub.. There is no management no style no information What a shame the previous people were great and the food was excellent
