The best restaurants serving British food in Coggeshall and North Feering Braintree East of England

A lovely cosy pub. Now one of our favourites. 9 of us came here for Christmas dinner tonight and we couldn't fault the food or service. Beautiful roast all round with loads of extras and the service was spot on. A big thank you to the staff and Mrs Street.

Really good Sunday lunch and probably the best I have had in a restaurant. The beef was melt in the mouth and all of the trimmings were excellent with very generous portions. All veg beautifully cooked and the cauliflower cheese was really creamy and umptious. Extra pigs in blankets made with proper sausages and thick bacon, although a bit late, were worth it. Wholly recommend this place for the food and unpretentious atmosphere - plus great value for such a lovely restaurant. Will be back

Well done Nathaniel. Excellent food and drink, excellent service and a grest atmosphere. Prawn cocktail, succulent. Fish and chips perfectly cooked. Well done.

Service is good and staff are lovely. However, this isn't the place to go if you're very hungry. Starters are tiny for the price. Got the chicken strips, which are about £6-£7 but only got 3 strips buried under a mountain of coriander. Main cources are nice but also small for the price. The signature burger is made to sound so very grand but in reality it's very small. The one I had the bun was burnt, which was quickly rectified, but surley the chef and runner should have noticed a black bun and changed it before it got to the table. There are other green king pubs who offer bigger portions for better value for money. That said this is still a beautiful place to eat if your passing or not bothered about portion size. Note that if you are a blue light worker or with the AA, you get a 15% discount.

Before we booked we were told there would be music until midnight Thursday and Saturday, as it’s an inn we assumed maybe music would go on until 11.30 and it was a Friday night. Unfortunately there is no sound proofing between the pub and rooms so we were kept awake with music until 12.45 am and loud talking until 1.45 am, what a shame! The room was beautiful and immaculately clean with everything you could need but there is no way we would return.

Had Sunday dinner and what a delight it was , very enjoyable, would highly recommend the chapel. The main menu looks lovely as well and will be going back to try other delights
