4 out of 5 of the meals on our table were cold, served on cold plates. Food was advertised to be freshly made, however from the taste of the food, it was far below par of what you would find in a school cafeteria. Some food came out piping hot as if it had been microwaved. The food was bland overall, pastry was soggy and undercooked, and uneven throughout. The best part about my meal was the overpriced crisps. The decor and overall atmosphere of the place is dreadful, the feeling can only be described like a retirement home. For the price payed, it's definitely a huge disappointment, I recommend taking your money elsewhere.

A very good dinner here if one likes home cooking food. Always a good welcome from all the staff. It generally is quite quick.

Visited this morning for some toast and coffee. Service was pleasant enough but when I asked for another little butter as what I had been given was just enough for one slice, I was told there would be an extra charge ! So for the sake of about 10p they have lost a customer that has been going there for 3 years. I left and went to a high street chain coffee shop instead. I will not be returning.

Went for lunch again at about 12.15 , the food looked great so had Steak and Kidney pie, what a huge disappointment. Luke warm pie with very little meat, plenty of carrots though plus a few sad chips and gravy 2 lunches and 2 teas £25, It’s a pity the ladies are very pleasant and helpful but the lunch was a disaster. FYI had the same issue 3 weeks ago but the pie was a little better then Sorry no more chance’s for that price we can find a pub

The food here are proper meals and decent prices. Great for families and a nice place for the grandparents to take the grandkids to eat out. Breakfast isn't great though. Not much breakfast on the plate and just average really. Other than that pure lovely. Good drink options as well. The food here is just lovely!
Have eaten there several times and have never been disappointed. The food is freshly cooked and there is a good variety to choose from. The portions are extremely generous and always hot. I would recommend their steak pie.

Popped into Brambles while shopping in the department store and was very pleasantly surprised. At first glance you think this is a coffee and sandwich type eatery but it offers so much more, with at least half a dozen freshly cooked hot dishes. We had the liver casserole and pork chop roast dinner. Both were very well cooked and delicious. Portions were generous. The staff were lovely - very friendly and efficient. We really enjoyed our meal and will definitely return when we are next in Braintree.
