The best restaurants serving British food in Brentwood East of England

Just found this place on our drive home… oh my god wonderful, sandwich filling was so tasty and full of flavour, did not taste cheap and cheerful in the slightest! Lovely sausage rolls too ! The chicken and bacon mayo sandwich was to die for, full of flavour. Five stars :)

We hired this venue for my mums 80th party and could not be more pleased with everything it provides It was a extremely hot day but unlike a lot of hire venues it is fully air conditioned Very good facilities , well stocked bar The food which is cooked on site and we had a three course roast dinner was absolutely beautiful all fresh and served promptly and with style The staff were extremely friendly and helpful A very good size venue with dance floor , stage area and lovely decor I could not of chose a better venue and will recommend and use again without hesitation

Nice, clean and friendly very helpful. Food tasty and nice to see lots of variety. We don’t all like the traditional . Glad to see them back after they left lakeside.

Came actually by accident, but had a lovely breakfast and coffee From outside you wouldn’t know what was inside, but it’s well worth a visit

We hired a private area for my husband’s birthday party. Mark and Aimee went above and beyond in helping with arrangements leading up to and on the day. They were able to recommend a professional DJ (Elegance) and provide an Aperol bar and Prosecco station upon request. It was the perfect setting in the garden with friends and family (plus the family dogs 🐾). The garden bar was well staffed and the enclosed play area was perfect for the kids. The pizzas were delicious and the mezze platter and Greek salad were incredible. Everyone that attended were highly complimentary of the venue and menu and had a great time listening to the music and enjoying drinks in the sun! I would highly recommend for food/drinks or your next celebratory gathering. We will be visiting you very soon for a cold pint and lunch. Thanks again for being so hospitable and making it a special day!

Having been to The Bull 8-9 times now, the food is always outstanding. Could order anything on the menu with confidence that I will love it, and this is without mentioning the service. Have been served by Amanda and Cosmin on multiple occasions now and their constant energy is so refreshing and always adds to the experience. This is the kind of place that you leave, counting down the days until your next visit. Cant wait to come back!

What a great venue, we were here for a birthday celebration and the place was perfect; it was a buffet style celebration with a proper party atmosphere, the food was delicious, the staff were friendly, engaging and welcoming and the night (7pm til midnight) went really smoothly with no-one waiting too long to be served. To top it off a silver charm, with huge sentimental value, was lost during the evening, 'The Kitchen' was contacted the next morning, they had found it and held on to it - so a massive thank you for that. Highly recommend the Brentwood Kitchen if you have special event to celebrate.

Visited the Plough with family celebrating a 60th birthday. I will say the service was very good, extremely helpful staff but the menu selection is very average with not a great deal of choice. I went for the burger which was ok, have tasted better in other gastro pubs. I expected much more choice hence the 3 star rating. I suggest you make your own opinion but I won’t be rushing back

Visited for the first time on a very busy Saturday evening this interesting restaurant in a very attractive small town just of the high street. Its a modern bar/restaurant with an area outside for eating too with free parking. The staff are very friendly and the service was attentive the whole evening. The Asian menu offers main meals or tapas with the best of ingredients used.

Was welcomed by a lovely polite and attentive member of staff. Tables nice and clean. Ordered an egg sandwich which came in lovely fresh granary bread and a fresh side salad. Will definitely go back.

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.

Had a Sunday roast at this venue, all fresh vegetables, home made Yorkshire pudding I found that the vegetables wasn't seasoned, personally I don't like to add salt to my dinner but today I had to to add salt to give it taste, even the roast potatoes were bland, probably maris pipers which are not the best for roast potatoes, good size dinner

Charming ambiance, attentive staff, and delicious food. Highly recommend this restaurant!

Wow what an amazing Resturant. The team of staff they have here are all brilliant from the warm welcome, prompt service with a smile and great knowledge of all That is to offer. The food is a delight to your tastebuds with every mouthful. We love seafood and was not disappointed the wine was rather good to! 😉 Will definitely be returning Many thanks Alec

I have visited and eaten at the Star Inn 4-5 times for lunch over the last 4 months. I commute between Colchester and West London and like to stop at the Star Inn whenever possible. Fantastic decor, fantastic staff, fantastic service and fantastic food. Great value for money. The chef knows his stuff. Would highly recommend. Restaurant manager is always very professional and friendly. Ps. Please bring back the pork belly and dauphinoise. It was excellent.
