We've been serving the people of Braintree and beyond since 2015 and in that time have humbly become ‘one of Essex’s best restaurants.’ We have received recognition from the AA, having been awarded an AA Rosette for ‘culinary excellence’ for five consecutive years, and then in 2023 we received our second rosette, putting the restaurant amongst the top 10 restaurants in Essex. Our food is of course one of our main focuses, but we don’t just stop there. Attentive, relaxed and friendly service is as important as the food and our objective is to make your visit an enjoyably memorable one. Our exceptional wine supplier, Peter Watts Wines (based up the road in Coggeshall) allows us to offer you delicious wines of an exceptional quality. Then add some cocktails, jazz, personality, creativity, a few hidden quirks and we like to think this all culminates to create a truly wonderful experience. Life is about memories; we want to be part of your best ones.

First visit ( needed somewhere convenient for airport and a decent Sunday roast). Had trouble finding actual entrance to building but once in, was impressed. Lots of staff do no waiting around. It was a freezing cold day and not very warm inside the building but it soon warmed up once more people arrived. My friend was on crutches but we were put on a table up a level so she struggled with steps. Our order was taken quickly and the food arrived promptly. It was hot, plentiful and delicious. No complaints at all with the food. Good value for money!
