The best restaurants in Braintree East of England

Great food yet again, delivery earlier than time given. Service is always good and polite. Highly recommended best Chinese for miles

I thought it would consider giving this Chinese takeaway a try. I was thoroughly disappointed. This ranks among the worst Chinese takeaways I have had in my life. The Chow Mein was dry and bland. The Chicken Pad Thai was too sweet and the chicken in it was stale and rubbery. The Sweet corn chicken soup was very bad. It was way too sweet for a chicken soup. The shredded chicken rice and the Chinese style chicken was the only saving grace but again not up to the standard. If I was starving and I had no other choice, I would go here and only order the veg spring rolls as anything else you order here would mean you are setting yourself up for a colossal disappointment.

Portions have shrunk and the prices are up... Waste of money, overpriced crap. Spent nearly £30 struggled to feed 3 people

What a great find. The food was delicious and so fresh..such a joy to find authentic Nepalese cuisine with such vibrant flavour. The service was also immaculate. Most impressed. If you need a good dinner near the cinema in Braintree ..look no further.

Went for Sunday lunch and ordered roast beef and asked for it to be cooked pink, the waitress said it will be served rare, waited and a waiter turned up with very well done meat, we said we ordered rare, he went back to the kitchen only to return with the same put it on the table to say that’s all we have!!!!!!!!!! An older man appeared and blamed the young waiter, we then got up and walked out as nothing else was offered, never go to this pub with staff attitude like that because they don’t care about customers, worst pub experience ever😡😡😡😡😡

1st time very small jacket potato. 2nd visit sad bland chicken avocado wrap hardly any chicken and no side salad. Awful presentation will not eat there again

Service ok.but charging £2.20 for cans of Tesco ginger beer you can buy 4in Tesco for a £1.it has real gone down hill shame it used to be good .

What a lovely pub to be in, very welcoming great hospitality, great prices, definitely will be coming again.(5;

I have been to Cherry Tree both before and after the management has changed. I like the cosy feel of the interior. Staff friendly and attentive, tables nice and clean. Food was good, but I wasn't "wowed". Good value for money though. I guess it's more of a place to pop out for a drink than to have a full-on lunch or dinner.

Had to go to Wickes and see catering van in car park. Nice clean van, food very tasty. Burgers and sandwiches. Lovely friendly couple running it. Exelent.

I don't think I have ever met a front of house manager (if that was her title was) that is so rude, I am still in disbelief, she was rude from the moment we arrived and excelled her rudeness as we left. I would suggest a customer facing communication course and then maybe go onto an advanced course. Awful! Food was nice and the young lads working on the bar were very polite. maybe they should swap roles...

Food was nice, properly cooked and served hot but portions are childrens sizes. Not good value for money at all. And they tried to take my glass before I finished my drink. No happy as its not cheap in here!

If only I had read the reviews first!! Should have done myself cheese on toast instead, would have had more flavour. AWFUL!!! Tried one slice, the rest in the bin 😏

New to the area so we are trying all the options. Venue was empty when we went in so took time to view the menu. Offering is vast which often is a concern for me personally. We ordered beef curry, honey chilli chicken, Chicken sweet corn soup and ribs. Over all all dishes were very bland and there was no chilli in the honey chilli chicken. Ribs had plenty of sauce but very little meats on the bones which was a shame.
