The best restaurants serving Seafood food in Braintree East of England

Christmas lunch at Lovejoys with the family. Food great and very generous portions . The service was impeccable. Great day thank you so much.

Visited Oysters with my partner whilst staying in Braintree looking after our friends pets when they were on holiday. This restaurant was recommended to us and we were not disappointed. We ate in the restaurant next to the take-away and ordered cod, chips, mushy peas, side of onion rings along with a pot of tea for my partner and (as they are licensed) a bottle of beer for me! Our food was cooked fresh to order, very generous sized portions, served piping hot and absolutely delicious. Lovely crispy batter on the fish, with perfectly flaked fish underneath and superb chunky chips. Our server (Bruno) was very polite, friendly and attentive and this added to our experience of dining there. There are toilets available (although you have to climb a flight of stairs) and they were very clean. If you are driving there, you can park in Sainsbury's car park (1 min walk away) for free after 18.00, or it's just £1.50 for 2 hours to park during the day. The prices charged are reasonable and we will definitely visit again.

Just ‘eaten’ of Friday dinner. Fish was awful….must have been standing some time. Chips are dry and overcooked. Really gone downhill here
