The best restaurants serving British food in Kelvedon Braintree East of England

Great food in here. Friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere. Will come back more often!

Disappointing. Went in on way home with no booking and the place looked good so we were hopeful of a good experience. Service was clunky with the bar man being waiter and server too. It was also very slow. Had to get our own menus. All had different dishes and they were all of varying quality IMO. Took a long time for food to appear and it did not come out all at the same time. Steak was fine. Burger average. Plate looked lacking. Chips awful. Tasted odd - I thought they were oven chips but if fried under done. Small portion. Veg options not great - Frittata not good and was not eaten. Fish was ok Pie ok chicken ok. Overall it was a disappointment. I have had much better for similar pricing and I would not go back. The staff were friendly and the setting is quite nice so I would say the chef let this meal down.

We had our Christmas party at Prested Hall, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. The venue itself is stunning, with a charming and elegant atmosphere that set the perfect tone for the evening. The room we were in was beautifully set up, creating a festive and welcoming vibe. Every detail was carefully considered, adding to the magic of the night. The DJ was excellent, keeping the energy high and ensuring everyone was having fun. The free selfie booth was a brilliant touch, providing lots of laughs and memories to take home. The food was absolutely delicious, with every course exceeding expectations. The organisation of the event was seamless, with everything running smoothly and efficiently. To top it all off, the price was incredibly reasonable for what we got. It was a night to remember, and I’d highly recommend Prested Hall for anyone looking to host a memorable event. Thank you to Lauren and the team for making our Christmas party so special, and they were so helpful, attentive and understanding especially when we kept having to amend numbers or names!

We had a fab lunch here with friends and our children. Food, drink and service was great and the pub is cosy and comfortable. Thanks very much!

We have visited a number of times and held our wedding reception in the private dining area and gourgous courtyard. The staff here are amazing. All the waiting staff are so friendly. The chef and kitchen team do a great job preparing wonderful food. Chris and Angela take pride in ensuring your event is planned to perfection. I strongly recommend this venue. Today was an afternoon tea that was gifted to us by friends and we had a fantastic afternoon. Many thanks all.
