The Green Man - Braintree

Yesterday, we enjoyed a fantastic Sunday lunch at the restaurant thanks to Jan and Kevin. The food was delicious and the pub had a cozy and welcoming atmosphere.

Enjoyed an excellent Sunday lunch when visiting the area. Both the prawn cocktail and the smoked salmon and prawn starters were fresh and tasty. The main courses were superb. We had the roast beef and the turkey and gammon both were excellent with large portions of meat, roast potatoes, yorkshire puddings and gravy with mixed vegetables to share with 6 different options. Typical Sunday lunch choices but very well cooked and presented. Good value for money too. We will be back.

This small pub is charming and the staff are very welcoming and friendly. The food, however, was average. My partner enjoyed the Chicken liver pate, which was bought in but tasty. I had the prawn cocktail, which was presented in a small glass tumbler. Although it was nice, the presentation was a bit odd. The peri peri chicken lacked flavor, but when I mentioned this to our server, he brought me more sauce, which unfortunately didn't improve the taste. It was more like roast chicken. My partner ordered the Wild Boar Ragu, which was stodgy and tasted like Heinz Spaghetti. The overcooked spaghetti and sauce resembled Heinz spaghetti sauce. We didn't have dessert, so can't comment on that. Overall, we were underwhelmed and a bit disappointed, especially since we had heard good reviews about the place. We probably wouldn't go back as our experience was not as expected. It's possible that we just didn't choose the right dishes.

Good value and lovely food. Would definitely recommend a visit. Nice pub but limited parking so could be busy at certain times.

Visited this community pub and brewery for sunday lunch.Perfectly cooked by chef who has great pride in his dishes.Their beer was good and friendly welcome.Just £15 for 3 courses and offers of more vegs ...but you certainly didn't need them.Will spread the word and return when we are here again
