The best restaurants serving British food in Brentwood South Brentwood East of England

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.

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.

Very disappointing, it was chaotic, slow and when the food eventually arrived it was not hot! It took over an hour from sitting down to the food arriving, however, Deliveroo drivers were in and out like yo-yo’s evidently taking the kitchen’s time and priority over the customers on site. The shepherds pie was pitiful, hardly any meat, and lukewarm and served with a side of cubed potatoes when the pie was mainly mash. The kids fish fingers were over cooked, dry and hard. Needless to say we won’t be returning and I doubt that several table around us will either as everyone was frustrated by the extended wait but all witnessing the endless stream of motorbike delivery guys walking in and out!

I don't usually write reviews, but I was really disappointed in the quality of food at this place, it's great concept with the small kids' area so people with kids can sit and have their food or coffee whilst their kids play however when eating out and paying £27 for 2x breakfast meals and 2 coffees you'd expect good quality food something a little nicer than you could make yourself at home. The pancakes were the ones you get in a packet from the supermarket £1 for packet of 6 that you put down in the toaster with 2 slices of bacon and half a tin of syrup you'd expect fresh pancakes for the price of £12. The avocado on toast was tasteless really thick white bread with just avocado spreaded on top really poorly displayed for a cafe/restaurant- if you are ordering crushed avocado on toast, you usually get it on a nice piece of sourdough fresh bread with chilli seeds cherry tomatoes and rocket or radishes with feta and balsamic glaze or nice tasting sauce of some kind, it was so basic for the price you pay. The coffee I couldn't even drink, it was also tasteless- I'd also suggest them investing in a decent coffee machine if they are going to charge £3 for a coffee. Also, please note the venue has a black baby gate as you enter via a ramp it's quite tricky to open especially if you are on your own with a buggy.

Arrived with elderly people at around midday asked for a table for three was advised it would be over 2hrs for a table and we should book first on a Sunday not great for elderly people they should have seats available for disabled and elderly people held regardless

Food always good here, tables get full quick so sometimes have to have a hunt round or a little wait. Staff are friendly and food is always freshly cooked. Love the app as it easy to order and you don't have to leave your table. The pub itself is a little dark because of the dark décor.

I visited Rooster Piri Piri with my mum, excited to try it as it looked so good. However, when I saw the menu, I was shocked by the high prices, which didn’t seem worth it at all. After trying the food, I ended up with a stomach ache the next day. The food was flavorless, and the chicken burger I ordered turned out to be a disappointment—a mini chicken wing with a bone was thrown into the burger. I ordered extra hot chicken, but it wasn’t hot at all; it was bland. I felt sick and couldn’t finish my food, eventually having to throw it away. I will never order from here again and do not recommend it to anyone. If you want grilled chicken, go elsewhere.
