British food and drink in Brentwood

“So friendly and amazing food. Without us needing to ask they bought us dog food and water for our fur babies. The food was ready quickly and was nicely presented and so moreish! My second time here and will definitely be returning soon!”

“You cannot beat the atmosphere and the food here. From start to finish you will feel special. The food is exquisite and the drinks the same. The restaurant is so nice! Turn up early so you can enjoy the champagne bar!!”

“Regularly stop by in the afternoon for a slice of cake and drink with my 3 YO. Lovely little cafe/restaurant. Really good customer service.”

“Never see my husband as happy as he tales in the real ale selection.great old fashioned inn.good pub food.very nice bar staff.and the whole place is spotless”

“Wonderful service, prompt with a smile, and really nice options on the menu. We ended up here somewhat by accident after the Grufalo trial and booked a table purely based on reviews. Although it was about 15 minutes away I'd say it was worth the drive. We had the double stacked friend chicken burger, pear and walnut salad, ribs for starter and the meringue which was a perfect summer dessert. Good vegetarian options as well. They cater well for outside bookings and are also well setup post Covid. Lovely pub, lovely people in a lovely area.”

“Great food, lovely surroundings with friendly attentive service from Noah, Vaida and Mary. Thanks guys!”

“Had a very nice lunch with friends, good value for money and lovely staff Will definitely go again”

“The Best Boozer in Brentwood. Beer on point, great for sports, pizzas are unreal and the staff are class. Landlord is a class act who knows how to run a pub. Definitely be back.”

“Only popped in for a drink and to feed the child. Honestly the quality of the children's dinner has definitely made this a place I'm coming back too. It's a propa old pub with some characters in there. Staff were so friendly (a special thanks to the lady that booked my daughter under 'princess') Really warm welcoming and friendly pub plus the food was excellent. Everyone there was having a good time. Thank you for this one off visit as I'll definitely be back with the family.”

“Great place very nice outdoor area as well Great Halloween decorations best I have seen so far.”

“Great pub with an authentic old school vibe. Has a great outdoor area with the footy shown. Great pints which are always fresh. They are very comfortable with kids or pets”

“Got stranded at Shenfield yesterday due to storm Eunice…found my way to the Junction and ended up having a good old crack with the locals and another stranded traveller. Really friendly bunch, bar staff excellent, food tasty and the Guinness excellent too.”

“A warm and friendly pub with exceptionally nice staff (even to the point where the manager has checked that I am getting home all right - I was very touched), the Essex Arms is also notable for its monthly karaoke nights. The host, Gary Pryce, is a true professional, getting as many singers on as humanly possible, while giving supportive encouragement to anyone who has felt a bit nervous. Come on down and join the fun!”

“Situated on the main high street. A Wetetherspoons, an absolutely super range of lager, real ales and various other drinks on offer, the prices for selected ales can be as low as £2.50 a pint. There's an ample breakfast menu at very affordable prices. There is also a wide of main meals available and it seemed a daily special at lunchtime. To me, this establishment offered very good value for money. The staff were very friendly and efficient. I will definitely visit again next time I'm in Brentwood.”
