Best Gastro Pubs in Witham

We had the pleasure of dining at the Sword in Hand this weekend. We were warmly greeted by a very pleasant young lady and shown straight to our table where we were given a few minutes to settle before our drinks order was taken. The ambience was perfect. The staff were absolutely lovely and very attentive although not intrusive. It was obvious from the moment we arrived until we left that the service they provided was very important to them. I am struggling to put into words how incredible the food was! I knew the Sword in Hand had an excellent reputation but I was completely blown away. I chose the Monkfish, Christmas Pie and Rhubarb and Berry Crumble. I’m still day dreaming about them! We enjoyed the most amazing wine I have tasted in decades. The choice of wines and cocktails was fantastic. Sadly, we are often disappointed by restaurants but this establishment has a lot to be proud of. Thank you to the lovely team at the Sword in Hand for making our night so memorable, it is now the only place we want to eat!

Was looking for a function for the work team from the ambulance hq for our Christmas meal. The Kings arms Broomfield was perfect for us, the food was great, service was fantastic couldn't ask for anymore. Thank you for the hospitality from us all at EEAST

Great Experience at The Bull Brentwood. Service was amazing, the friendly staff made you feel welcomed from the offset. The food was exemplary and has such a great selection for anyone with a gluten intolerance! Can’t wait to go back again as such good value for money and you’re well looked after.
