The best restaurants in Brentwood East of England

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

Unfortunately our second visit was not as enjoyable, although the pub was busy we had to wait 15 minutes and ask for somebody to take our drinks order, starters and mains were excellent again but plates not cleared at the end and even though desert menu was asked for, nothing produced after 10 minutes when we the decided to pay the bill and leave, unsure if we would return solely down to the service sadly

under new ownership, it is much better, the last landlord was a total bellend.

The Black Horse is a beautiful old traditional English pub. You can pop in just for a drink or lunch and dinner. My wife and myself went for lunch. The atmosphere is friendly and comfortable. I had eyes bigger than my belly and went for the traditional burger, my wife ordered the chicken skewers. Presentation, flavour, and value for money 10/10. Plus the staff fantastic especially Jackie our waitress. Will definitely make this a go to !!!

Beautifully cooked fish. Deliciously crisp with generous portion of chips. It seems to have changed hands over the years, but the standard has always remained excellent.

Fab prices, super fast delivery, quality sweets and the kinder pie was unreal!!👑thanks for the freebies!! Will see you again soon! 🍬🍭

caught us out it was so quick, but quality still great.

I am a regular weekly orderer - Combination kebabs. Food is always excellent, portions are always large. Delivery is on time or early 99% of the time. I definitely recommend to all having tried all other local kebaberies.

Unreal open and close when they feel like it's 9pm on a Wednesday it's a joke when on line says different I got to be honest a few times I have went to order if I'm honest they should change there time on line until the feel like cooking its terrible

I phoned the following day to thank them it was so good! The kama sutra is one of the best dishes I’ve eaten! Friendly staff too

Good service, friendly and attentive.

I’m a regular at this place and I can’t recommend it enough! The service is amazing and I will definitely continue coming back!

Went for a couple of pints at lunch time, and had a lovely time. Delightful bartender, who was friendly, helpful and efficient. Good selection of real ales and craft. Comfortable and clean environment with a nice atmosphere, when we went. We're not local, but hope to go back for a curry one evening, as the menu looked great.

Had treated my mum to Afternoon tea will not be going back.Was very surprised at the lack of variety in the sandwiches also they were not the normal finger sandwiches more like doorstops , crusts were left on,Some of the scones were so hard it’s a wonder we didn’t break our teeth,such a shame as we have been there before and it has been very nice.We were informed that they were using different bread suppliers bit of a feeble excuse I can only guess the chef didn’t know how to make finger sandwiches.I did wonder why we were the only ones in there.Certainly wasn’t worth the money.If you like doorstep sandwiches fine if not don’t bother to go waste of money.

My daughter and I stopped off for lunch on Saturday. It was a beautiful day and we sat outside. We hadn’t booked this time but had arrived early so it was fine. It did get very busy soon after. We both had a quinoa, sweet potato and pomegranate salad with a delicious Dijon dressing and a side of skin on fries. The gentleman who looked after us was very attentive. We requested a Sauvignon Blanc to have with our meal. It was excellent and found out later it was Chilean. I like Chilean red but had never tried the white. For dessert we both had the vegan rum baba and it didn’t disappoint. I’m not a vegetarian but the meal was perfect for a sunny day. Will definitely go again and make a point of booking.
