The 20 Best Beers in Brentwood

“Living close to the merchant we are regular visitors. All the team are super welcoming and friendly especially Lily & Morgan. Bouncers are always polite. Our favourite local”

“Stopped here on a Saturday lunchtime while in the area seeing friends. Even though we arrived about 30mins earlier than our booking they got us to our table fine. Team serving us were great, polite and friendly. We both really enjoyed the food. I had the fish and chips and my wife had the veg pie. Loads of parking around the back. Id advise to book in advance. Wouldn't hesitate to come again or recommend.”

“We turned up with no booking on Father’s Day. We were seated promptly and our drinks order was taken. My son has an allergy and upon taking our order they asked lots of questions and made sure I read through the ingredients list before the order was put through. When then ordered to breakfasts with some alternatives and a porridge bowl with fruit. My son’s order turned up first with a green flag to show he had the allergy. Then porridge was so tasty and the breakfast came up hot, and hot plates just to their order. Our meal was lovely, the waitress were kind, and happy. They meal checked us and plates were taken swiftly when we had finished. Well worth a visit, we would right recommend.”

“Came in late on New Year’s Eve they were very polite and welcoming. Food was great. Staff helped someone who was unwell from the street. +1”

“Highly professional workers! Recommended!!! 10 /10”

“This is a great pub. Wonderful selection of real ales. As I could see very family friendly, welcoming to people of all ages. We had great fun playing the shuffle table in the middle. A challenging pub game that our party of four enjoyed while sinking a few pints. I recommend”

“Only went in for a couple before visiting other pubs and I was pleasantly surprised. I'd never been here before so didn't really know what to expect, and this place was great! Lovely staff, good atmosphere and a decent pint of Guinness. The locals were friendly too. I'd recommend giving this place a go.”

“We came for Sunday lunch and had the pie and the roast, both absolutely excellent! It's clear a lot of care goes into both the food and service, can't recommend enough! Will definitely be coming back”

“Lovely characterful pub with choice of real ales all very reasonably priced. Plus cosy garden which is sun trap in the summer and outside heaters for cooler evenings. Sports TVs in all areas.”

“Really friendly little pub packed with history so nice to finally be in a pub that's still traditional, the staff were really nice and very helpful, would love to revisit for sure.”

“What a gem of a pub / restaurant, the staff are so friendly, the restaurant area is beautiful with a great atmosphere and the food is delicious. We were here for a lovely three course Christmas dinner just a few days before Christmas and it was definitely the best pub Xmas dinner we have had this year. Thank you.”

“Roast cooked to perfection! Plate was absolutely filled to the brim with all the trimmings and a beautiful portion of beef definitely my new Sunday spot for a lovely roast served by lovely staff such a good atmosphere all round… the pub dogs are a bonus and my children absolutely love them!”

“If I could give more than 5 stars I would! We went for lunch here on Sunday and we called 20 mins before, our mistake, but the waiter was very accommodating and reserved a table for us! Now, when we arrived we were greeted and shown our seats and instantly made to feel at home. The waiter then came over to take our order and we of course had to go with the roast! But my mum doesn’t eat too much and so she (the waiter) recommended to go with the kids portion as it’s more than plentiful. The food arrived quickly and even with an extra serving of potatoes (which I’ll get onto) from the kitchen! The meal was served with lots of laughter and good vibes thanks to the cosy atmosphere of the Pub. The roast itself was amazing; I had the gammon, it was thinly cut which wasn’t usually how I have it but was definitely delicious. The sides of shaved parsnips and stuffing as well as veg medley partnered with the food perfectly. Now the potatoes, the star of the show, I don’t know how they made these but they were super crispy and crunchy on the outside and super super soft on the inside. The best potatoes I’ve had hands down and they definitely knew it as well! From the start to the end of the meal, everything was perfect! Thanks again! Will definitely recommend going with family, friends or even by yourself! (No shame)”

“Absolutely beautiful pub! From the stunning wooden beamed exterior, to the quaint delightful interior, the Blackhorse, is exactly how a pub ought be. The menu options are fantastic, with options for kids and adults alike. So something for everyone - even fussy kids! I love visiting the Blackhorse, with my partner and teenage kids, and we always have a wonderful time, and have created some amazing memories there over the years. I look forward to creating many more memorable moments at the Blackhorse.”

“A great little friendly pub, as legend goes apparently Dick Turpin the highway robber used to hide in the chimney, has lots of history and a quaint little pub, when we are in the area staying with friends we always go there for a drink or few, they also have a great selection of beers and drinks.”

“Now called The Chestnut, friendly staff, called in at lunchtime for a swift half, not over busy and prices reasonable. Good to find a dog friendly pup with a special doggy venue.”

“This off-license store offers wide range of alcoholic and Non-alcoholic liquors with cheapest prices as supermarket offers. Don't miss out there displayed discounted offers to get more deals. 10 on 10.”

“Found this lovely little country pub while going for a drive. The staff were very attentive and the atmosphere was relaxing. We only had a starter and some sides, but there was a lot to choose from on the menu. We didn't have to wait to long for our food and it was served hot, on clean plates and the cutlery was clean as well, and it was really lovely food. I will definitely come back for another visit.”

“Had a wonderful lunch experience at Las Tapas with my wife. All the tapas we ate,finished off with delicious dessert,were top quality,on par with the best tapas restaurants in Spain. Apart from the scrumptious food,the service was wonderful. We will definitely be back. Many thanks.”

“I had a great time at Eagle Public House on Sunday! The food was delicious, the staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was cozy. I highly recommend trying the sunday roast. I’ll definitely be back!”

“Had a really nice lunch here. Very good service and food was great. Would recommend”

“Lovely evening at the Swan in the shuffleboard room. All the staff are so lovely and welcoming”

“Good food . Nice atmosphere and service. Highly recommend!!”

“Charlie's Bar in Brentwood is a great place to hang out, especially if you’re into a good range of beers. The selection is solid, and the relaxed vibe makes it a great spot for a casual drink. They’ve got a pool table too. Although we didn’t try the food, the bar itself was nice. Worth a visit if you’re in the area!”

“Fantastic place to work remotely with great service. Me and my wife often come to The Dairyman in Brentwood to work remotely while our son is at school, and its become one of our favourite spots. The service is always good, and the staff are consistently warm, welcoming and attentive, especially Giselle - even when we are here for long stretches of time. Its a comfortable and friendly environment with reasonable food and great drinks ad always feel looked after. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a place to work or unwind.”

“I’ve been coming to the restaurant since it opened about 2017, the food is always good, service good too. I can never quite figure out why the place is not more popular as it’s a very good mean at a good price considering the town and the food offer available here. They have a strong range of gluten free dishes and while it’s probably. It quite busy enough for the owners, it’s good in the sense that patrons get good service, good food and it’s not too noisy.”

“I’m very happy with service! Highly recommended!”

“Absolutely wonderful and go out out way to help you with anything you need”

“I'm giving this shop a full five star rating mainly due to the security guard that usually works there in the evenings. Very polite and welcoming. Will try to help you if you're struggling with anything. Even offers to look after my bike while I shop inside. An extremely lovely gentlemen that adds positivity to the place. Tesco better be paying him well.”
