The best restaurants serving British food in Braintree East of England

Always welcoming. I'm an outsider visiting local friends for many years

Fantastic bakers with fantastic food cakes and pastries

Food carts in the back are brilliant but it's not a cosy pub and seems a bit "old boys"!

A wonderful Anniversary lunch on Saturday. 15 people, 3 generations. Everyone agreed the food was excellent, the staff so friendly and helpful and the event was a great success. Thank you, Ranfields.

Met friends for lunch here perfect highly recomend it

Food was over cooked and just awful. Red wine was always stored in the cellar and consequently cold. Ridiculous Fish and chips that was minuscule and fish cake slimy

It was a pleasure to be at thr re-opening of the Horse & Groom. We attended Friday Saturday and popped back on Sunday too, each time we were greeted warmly each time, served with lovely wine and real ales. The atmosphere was great with some fantastic live entertainment. Can’t wait for them to begin serving food later this year. Great start Matt & Mike, looking forward to seeing you again soon

Had a lovely evening in the Orange Tree yesterday. The staff were friendly and chatty. The pub, despite having been busy during the day, was clean and welcoming. The food was well presented and well cooked and great value for money. Well done!

Had a wonderful meal at Caesars last week; everything was perfect. 6 of us went and all the plates went back clean; an excellent selection of drinks and lovely staff. Highly recommend.

Stopped here for a coffee mid-bike ride. Nice service, lovely coffee. It's now my preference over Winner's Cafe where I had a terrible cup of coffee a couple of weeks ago (I must have arrived at a bad time).

generally the worst food i’ve ever eaten there was hair in our food and has made us all be extremely ill and can’t get off the toilet

The people serving were really helpful , we tried different things that were on the menu. The place inside is spacious and has charm. Will visit again

The coffee and cake are really delcious at this cafe and the farm shop is very good too with a big choice of fresh and frozen food.

had the 2 and 2 , the pies where great , had the liquor first time and loved it. all wash down with a spotted dick pud . will be back staff where very friendly and helpful

Food as expected. Staff excellent, especially Georgina, despite the technical issues they were having. The staff were attentive without being pushy, and at no time did we feel rushed.
