“I visited this restaurant with a client for the first time,this week. A wonderful gem, in a small village. Excellent food and service, extremely good wine and the chef/owner an absolute gentlemen with a great sense of humour. I live in France and have to say, one of the finest meals I have had anywhere.”

“Such a lovely place to be . Food great and so friendly. I would always choose this as my place to eat .”

“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. .”

“The Staff , Service and food was impeccable, we have been eating here for a number of years and we are always greeted so warmly by front of house staff and all the lovely waiters and waitresses , I highly recommend a Lunch or Dinner here food is superb ,”

“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.”

“Great little cafe with lovely service and great food. Their menu is extensive and they let us know that we could mix and match all sandwich fillings as we wish. Support local businesses and try this cafe instead of the big chains on the high street!”

“Want fish, go here! Beautiful and fresh, made to perfection!! We travel 25 minutes to get our fish and chips, why try elsewhere?! Thank you all”

“Excellent service from Emma, who helped me with a tailored request for an upcoming Boxing Day reservation. She was friendly, patient and very accommodating. Always above and beyond at the MGM! Thanks”

“All the best in town. I was visited dinner with my wife on Saturday night. My main i get Steak Sirlion so nice beef tender also wonderful chilli dips wow match with Thai beers Singha..all Reccomend to Lemongrass..great experience in Brentwood”

“This is, by far, the best Thai food served in the local area for authenticity. I had the pad grapao, which in restaurants in the UK is normally very different from Thai style. But this dish was 100% authentic and I could have very easily been in a restaurant in Chiang Rai. Very friendly staff with the permanent 'Thai smile' and good conversation. We will definitely be coming back.”

“Like the Black Horse, this is a pub that's more of a food place than a pub, but there's a proper bar area if you're just in there for drinks. Food is good and they often have deals on. They often have entertainment on, although this is usually just a solo singer with backing tracks. The pub quiz is once a month on the first Monday of the month (although is moving to twice a month in 2026); it's a good quiz with 8 rounds of questions on a variation of subjects. Overall a decent place for the locals of Pilgrims Hatch!”

“It's a small, sometimes noisy, cosy little place. But don't let that fool you. This is THE BEST Indian in Brentwood and I've thought so for years. Not just a bog standard curry. So many options, so many flavours. Highly recommended. Excellent, friendly, detailed service from our waiter,Shah, too! 10/10!”

“We made an order for a Christmas Fish and Chip Supper for our Carer team at Home Instead for delivery. The food arrived piping hot, on time and the fish and chips were excellent. Thanks to Mehmet and his team for helping to make it a great night”

“I am delighted to take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation for the wonderful pizza party that was organised for my daughter's seventh birthday. The event exceeded all of our expectations and left a lasting impression on all the guests who attended. The level of service provided was truly exceptional, with the staff demonstrating a perfect blend of professionalism and warmth throughout the duration of the party. The activities that were planned for the children were not only engaging but also well-thought-out, ensuring that every child had a fantastic time. A special mention must be made for Billie, whose presence and leadership truly made a significant impact on the overall success of the party. The children adored her and her enthusiasm was contagious. I wholeheartedly recommend this venue for hosting parties, not only for children but also for adults such as business gatherings and team-building activities. The experience we had was unforgettable, and I am confident that others will also benefit from the outstanding services offered by this establishment. Once again, thank you for making my daughter's birthday so special. We look forward to celebrating future events with you. Warm regards, Catherine and Neil Turnbull”

“5 Stars - Outstanding! Ongar Kebabs is hands-down one of the best takeaway spots I’ve enjoyed trying. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Their kebabs are well seasoned with just enough salad and sauce. The doner meat is top-tier — not greasy or overly salty like some places — and their chicken shish is beautifully grilled with a nice smoky char. What sets Ongar Kebabs apart is the attention to quality and service. The staff are always friendly, polite, and fast, even during busy hours. You can tell they care about their food and their customers. The portions are generous, the prices are fair, and everything tastes homemade in the best possible way. Whether you’re grabbing a late-night bite or ordering a family dinner, Ongar Kebabs never disappoints. Highly recommend — this is a local gem”

“Very quick delivery food was fantastic will definitely use again”
