Cocktail menu 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”

“Really lovely pub. Good food. Great atmosphere. Large out door seating area. Children play area. Had a set menu due to family having a christening after party. I was informed this pub is going through a refurbishment as from 31st July 2023 So keep a eye out for the date of completed refurb. I'm sure I won't be disappointed on my next visit.”

“Exceptional Italian cuisine! We had a superb meal, staff were very attentive and the food was delicious. Can’t wait to come back!”

“Another wonderful lunch with an incredibly delicious food.”

“The front of house chap is so friendly and welcoming - a real asset to the team! Our waiter was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed whilst also being accommodating to our slight dish changes, he was also friendly and warm. Food was stunning - as always! Thank you to the whole team at Alec’s for always being consistently good and keeping me coming back for more!”

“A rare thing indeed these days... A real pub”

“We love this little family restaurant. Whenever we visit family in Brentwood from our home on the South Coast we try to eat here. It always feel’s homely. We have young grandchildren and they enjoy the pizzas very much. Nothing is ever too much trouble, and service always excellent . We are looking forward to our Christmas visit very much. .”

“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.”

“Wow! Want to thank Julie and the team for helping to organise my nieces surprise 30th brunch yesterday . The team were so good was incredible and amazing value for money, service was excellent and the music was fabulous! Cant recommend enough”

“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)”

“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.”

“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!”

“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!!”

“Such a fun place - hidden round the back streets of the High Road. I didn’t know it existed until a friend took me there. Lovely bar staff and great DJ playing great tunes. Can’t wait to go back!!”

“Great pub at the traffic lights top of Shenfield and Brentwood Road. Refurbished a few years ago,more open plan and airy. Three hand pulled ales, Greene King IPA, Theakstons Best Bitter and Timothy Taylors Landlord. Contemporary selection of lagers and excellent range of spirits. Very dog friendly,super barmaid gave my dog treats and made sure she had water. Reasonably priced and good choices of food menu with standard dishes and nice range on smaller dishes such as sandwiches etc. Served until 8pm Mon-Sat, 5pm Sun. Didn't eat this time, but will on future visits. Three screens showing 2 Carabao Cup matches on my evening visit.”

“If you want real authentic Indian food I can't recommend enough eating here as Haveli have moved here. Highly recommend the samosa chaat, mushrooms and the chilli panner! Can't wait to go back! We absolutely loved this place!”

“amazing food. pricey but there’s a reason for it, the food is good quality and good portion sizes. stunning fish finger sandwich. as a vegetarian i felt like there were plenty of options. service was great when i went. it can definitely get busy/loud in here but at the end of the day it’s bringing them business which is good to see! i also came here for a party a few weeks ago and the servers were incredible. amazing venue”

“Great staff friendly and always ready to help and a great place for live music especially on a Tuesday evening for any one that can play an instrument”

“Went for the fireworks. Great display! Very busy but to be expected when the display is free and such good quality.”

“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.”

“The pizzaiollo was very nice and helpful, generous with toppings and friendly. Pizza is good, I've tried vegetarian with thin crust. Very good, I'll come again!”

“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.”
