The best restaurants serving Default food in Hedingham and Maplestead Braintree East of England

Popped here today, after exercise class at Halstead Leisure centre, for breakfast. Today we had wild mushrooms on sour dough toast with a poached egg and it was delicious and great value for money. Always clean cafe and great service. If I had to offer and improvement I would have liked a few more mushrooms but I am greedy!!! I would recommend this cafe highly, for breakfast

Lovely staff great food reasonable prices. Will definitely visit again.

Cosy little restaurant. Enjoyed a perfect Sunday roast. Reasonably priced. No background music drowning out conversation … bliss!

A very comfortable night's sleep in a well-appointed room. Breakfast ---plenty of choice, well cooked and nicely served. Extremely accommodating.

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.

amazing food perfectly cooked as always been eating here for many years.

Local pub with great food and bar

We order from here very regularly and we are always very happy with the food and the service. Always fresh lovely food and lovely friendly staff too.

Went for a take away I am diabetic and took some insulin to coincide with eating, unfortunately I was delayed so my sugars dropped dangerously low. I asked for some Nan bread to get some carbohydrates in having explained my problem. A man came very quickly, drizzled with honey - brilliant No panic, perfectly handled And the food was delicious, can’t fault the service, food or anything

Always enjoy a Gandhi, no complaints

Best ploughman's I ever had. Who knew it could be spread so well? Just this man. The plate Steve produces is second to none, and watch your step 🪜 as you probably never thought to finish the main combo with picallily x beetroot on your fork—save the last blue cheese and grapes for the final smidge of chutters. Never will have a winner like it. Absolute gold. 🏆

Big portions and great service from the two ladies. Really good value for money and the best quality Chinese in the area in my opinion.

Friendly people who provide almost everything you could need in the centre of the village with foods and gifts.

Visited on a Monday lunchtime on a drizzly day. A fair few people were there for either a drink or lunch. Beautiful fifteenth century coaching in with lovely atmosphere, full of beams, old furniture, pictures etc. This place oozes charm. Good quality and tasty pub food. All what we had was homemade to include the chips. Always put off when the chips are out of a freezer. Not inexpensive but that does not mean bad value. Nice and helpful lady behind the bar. It’s nice to have a trip out to this pretty village. Used to come to the village when our children were young and eat at a lunchtime/tea shop place called Magnolia then Buckley’s. That closed down a few years back and now without the children this place is great and utterly charming. Will return soon despite the 40 minute drive from the Herts Essex border where we live. Highly recommended.
