Cosy, amazing food, high quality service. The only disappointment is it has taken this long for us to find it. The best restaurant we have found in Essex!

Very happy to give this 5 stars. We had cocktails and a three course dinner. The meal started with toasted bread and butter flavoured with sun-dried tomatoes and marmite, and delectable olives. I had a refreshing cocktail with this, a Tom Collins, with my dining companion on the Negroni whilst we anticipated our main. Chateaubriand. The Chateaubriand was done superbly. I don't know how it could be done better in fact. We had fun trying to guess what went into the sauce, so many good flavours. The potatoes were done as super-thick chips with the texture of roasted potatoes and the dish was served with small mushrooms and confit cherry tomatoes. The flavours danced. Initially I had been very tempted by the liquorice panna cotta to finish with but after the beef I could only think to have a sticky toffee pudding. It did not disappoint. And something I learnt is that an Amaretto sour is the perfect cocktail accompaniment to an STP. Bliss!

Loved this venue, restaurant set up in an old house. I was intrigued as we wound our way upstairs to our table. The food was fantastic and I would definitely recommend a visit.

I really liked this restaurant. Excellent ambience, great food, friendly staff, and convenient to get to from Braintree station. I had a delicious fillet of beef and a banana tart tatin for dessert. I highly recommend it and will certainly be coming back.

Questions about The House by Hilly Gant

Is The House by Hilly Gant legit?

TheReviews does not certify businesses. The House by Hilly Gant has a score of 4.6 out of 5, labelled Excellent, from 559 reviews on TheReviews and its connected review sites, but no reviews written on TheReviews yet, so none of its reviews here are marked verified. The profile has not been claimed by the business. Every moderation decision is listed in the public log on this page.

What is The House by Hilly Gant's TheReviews score?

The House by Hilly Gant has a score of 4.6 out of 5, labelled Excellent, from 559 reviews on TheReviews and its connected review sites. The score comes from one published formula: every business starts at 3.5 with the weight of 3 reviews, verified reviews weigh 1.0, organic reviews 0.7, and each review loses half its weight every year. Ratings on connected sites such as Google or Booking.com are blended in at 0.5 per review, together never outweighing 50 verified reviews, and every review counts towards how sure the score is, so many reviews elsewhere are not held back by the starting point. That places it 4 of 7 in Food & Drink. Read the formula with a worked example.

How many of The House by Hilly Gant's reviews are verified?

None yet, because nobody has written a review on TheReviews. A verified review comes through an invitation tied to a real order or through the API. Organic reviews, written by anyone with a confirmed account, count for 0.7 of a verified one.

Does The House by Hilly Gant reply to reviews?

There are no reviews on TheReviews to reply to yet. The profile is unclaimed; once the business claims it, it can reply to every review free of charge.

Can The House by Hilly Gant remove bad reviews?

No. No plan at any price lets a business remove a review. The House by Hilly Gant can post one public reply per review and can report a review that breaks the written guidelines. A person reads every report, and the outcome is recorded in the public moderation log either way. See the moderation log for The House by Hilly Gant.
