Best Restaurants for Spicy Food in Braintree

We’ve been coming here for years, but haven’t been in for six months or so as we live quite a long way away. I was a bit worried to be honest after reading the previous review on here that things had gone downhill, but it couldn’t be further from the truth! We were greeted very warmly, the food was utterly outstanding, as good as it always has been, with stunning presentation and wonderful flavours. Service was friendly and impeccable. Still very much one of our favourite restaurants and closer for us than those of a similar ilk in Marlow or London.

The food and cocktails were delicious, but what made this evening so special were the staff (our waitress was particularly fabulous, so wish I'd got her name) and the overall atmosphere. Gorgeous seating, lovely furniture, a variety of areas to eat, drink and socialise. The history of the building and pictures on the wall were a great talking point. The ability to play the piano, just made it! We will be back. Thanks so much :-)

A relaxed & welcoming restaurant- helpful & cheerful staff, ready when needed, but not at all intrusive. I had the best bbq steak rib ever 👌& my sisters Sirloin was perfect also, and if we are ever back in Stratford, this is where we'll eat. Thank you all at HS&Co, a dream team & perfect food & ambience.
