Drinks and dine in Brentwood

“Really good cosy and friendly atmosphere in the restaurant or public bar, which is situated on the left as you enter. I highly recommend their Sunday roast options, including the 3 meat offering. Overall, a little gem of a place just opposite Shenfield High School.”

“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!”

“The food at this place was amazing we went for a birthday as it’s a brilliant place to go for an occasion, so much flavour in all the dishes and the staff were very friendly.”

“I went here on a Saturday night to catch up with some friends I hadn't seen in a while. The atmosphere was nice and quiet, something people forget to appreciate. The food was as expected my only criticism was the menu was varied but items that were a particular type of meal weren't varied enough, the calzone had two options? They tasted great but would have liked a few different flavours.”

“I haven't been here for a long time but I'll be returning very soon. From the moment we arrived the staff were so welcoming. The food was great, I had a beef salad and the dressing was amazing, when I mentioned how good it was a staff member came back with a little pot for me to take home, how lovely was that. Can't wait to eat here very soon.”

“Easily the best harvester I've ever been to! The staff are so nice and considerate, and the food is delicious. Will definitely come back again, and again.”

“Absolutely amazing food, and we was made to feel extremely welcome...I would also recommend the pate it is gorgeous.”

“A nice little find. There were 3 of us and I had pie and chips. Quick service, hot food and nicely presented. Friendly staff and everything was clean.”

“Our first visit was tonight here with my partner. Food was freshly made amazing flavours. You may need more plate to fill you up but absolutely worth it. I think you pay for a great experience. Service was absolutely friendly caring by the two lady who took care of us. Drinks were nice too. My partner loved the little wine jug. Atmosphere was nice warm cozy and friendly. I can highly recommend to anyone who just want to have a nice evening and don’t go there just to complain about every little thing!”

“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.”

“Friendly staff. Great service. A busy pub so it was buzzing with all age groups.”

“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.”

“Loved this place! The food is great and the staff are nice. They even brought out some ice-cream for my birthday. Will definitely be back soon.”

“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!”

“Lovely lunch in the garden. Friendly staff and friendly clientele! Steak strips were lovely and quick to be cooked. Also took dog and was very welcoming by staff and Visitors.”

“Very pleasant dining experience, we had booked a table in advance and we were shown to our table immediately, the service was very good without the waitresses bothering us, the food was excellently presented and it tasted beautiful whilst being competitively priced, very impressed and will try to go again when we are next in the area.”

“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.”
