• British • Braintree
Booked 5 times today
We've been serving the people of Braintree and beyond since 2015 and in that time have humbly become ‘one of Essex’s best restaurants.’ We have received recognition from the AA, having been awarded an AA Rosette for ‘culinary excellence’ for five consecutive years, and then in 2023 we received our second rosette, putting the restaurant amongst the top 10 restaurants in Essex. Our food is of course one of our main focuses, but we don’t just stop there. Attentive, relaxed and friendly service is as important as the food and our objective is to make your visit an enjoyably memorable one. Our exceptional wine supplier, Peter Watts Wines (based up the road in Coggeshall) allows us to offer you delicious wines of an exceptional quality. Then add some cocktails, jazz, personality, creativity, a few hidden quirks and we like to think this all culminates to create a truly wonderful experience. Life is about memories; we want to be part of your best ones.

    I took my partner for her birthday last night. I have eaten there before and it was good, so expected the same. Food was excellent, both had steaks, cooked perfectly to our liking , chips, excellent, accompanying veg dishes, also excellent. Deserts were equally good, and GF options availabe on many dishes. Good choice of wines, and the one lad who was working was also ecxellent, very polite and attentive, nice table on its own, had a very nice evening,thanks

    Very busy , but service was prompt and food arrived with no issues . The extension where we were sat became full with two large groups. The noise level was horrendous to the point you could not hear anyone speaking. The area needs rugs or carpets as the noise echoing in the area makes it impossible to have a conversation. We had to move to have coffee . Not enjoyable at all .

    Superb evening from start to finish. The restaurant looked clean tidy and welcoming. We were greeted and taken to our table. Some of our party were a little late but this wasn't a problem. The waitress came over when someone new arrived and asked for their drink choice.the food arrived and was piping hot. Delicious home made food. The price was a lot cheaper than I'd imagined. A huge thank you to our waitress Eve for answering all our questions on food and having a great sense of humour. I would definitely return. A get together was made all the more special. Thank you.
