Horse And Groom - Braintree

This restaurant is wonderful! The food is delicious, the atmosphere is lovely, and the owners are incredibly warm and friendly. It was a pleasure dining here.

Very nice pub, with good selection of beers. My partner and I had a roaste dinner, disappoint in the meat, it was chewy very thinly sliced. The Yorkshire were small and dry. The 2 roast potatoes, were dry too, not crispy, for some reason there were a few normal potatoes on top as well. The parsnips were thin and dry. All in all look like had been in a microwave. Another couple next to us complain too about the beef being chewy. Then we had desert, really really disappoint. I have never in my life had such a poor, small apple crumble, in a tea cup.!!! Also took 25 mints to arrive. Who serves a pudding in a tea cup... A tea cup with apple canned apple chunks, and a biscuit crumble on top. A small small saucer with custard... My partner had the same but with ice cream. Words fail me..!!!!!!! Where we sat, I had to keep moving my chair, as we were packed in like sheep. Even though there was plenty room next door. But that would mean staring the wood burner..!!! That be extra cost. My partner did speak with the manager to tell him how to make a crumble. We are local, and so are the other couple. Never again will we go here. We all trying to support local, but not to be rip off.

Lovely venue, nice food; carvery Sunday lunch hit the spot for all the family, young and old. Spacious and well decorated bar restaurant (main restaurant area was closed due to staff holidays). Overall good quality and value for money.

Use this pub frequently throughout the summer season, food and drink excellent every time, lovely pub inside and out, Debbie and Martin always friendly and welcoming, great staff, All the best Steve

A group of six of us had an amazing meal at this restaurant tonight. The menu is small, but the quality of the food and variety of drinks more than make up for it. We each tried different starters and main courses, and were all too full for dessert. We left very satisfied, spending less than £140 including drinks and leaving a generous tip for the staff. We highly recommend this place, especially because they allow well-behaved dogs. We will definitely be returning in the future.
