We've been several times before this evening and, with the exception of a poor Sunday Lunch experience, have always been pleased, However this evening when we were to go with friends thankfully they cried off due to illness we were disappointed. Having booked and with anticipation of the usual excellent menu choice we arrived to find that the menu was very restricted to nothing more than four or five 'pub' classics. Nothing was said about the restriction when we booked. So what was expected to be a special dinner turned out to be 'pub grub' albeit well cooked and presented. Shame special nights will be somewhere else from now on.

We had this lunch today, the 29th December but had to write the review as soon as possible to spread the word about this lovely restaurant. The owners have got everything so right, including the lovely staff who served us. We wish we had a restaurant near us in Brentwood, which came as close to perfection as this little gem does. This is literally the best bought Sunday lunch I ever had and I never give praise easily. 10/10 for the perfect Sunday lunch with over and above the usual trimmings, which included chicken, pork and slow cooked melt in the mouth beef, the frilliest, tastiest Yorkshire puddings, homemade stuffing, mixed green veg, red cabbage, roast potatoes, honey roasted parsnips and carrots, leeks in cheese sauce. All served on separate dishes in the middle of the table. So much flavour was incorporated into each element of this, no cheating with shortcuts like so many other restaurants which offer 3course deals. We loved the cosy, quirky layout and decor. There are 2 floors, the 2nd of which has a large round table, which we will ask for when we come back with a larger group. Our starters and desserts did not disappoint either, presented so beautifully and all tasted devine. It's a bit of a trek for us, but my family and I cannot wait to come back for another meal at the Chophouse in Braintree.

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.
