I was really impressed with my starter which was kindly prepared by Oliver Spencer, the waitress called Daisy was very polite and chatty. Couldn’t recommend this place enough. Will be back soon. Thanks Oliver

My wife, son, and I were in Essex for a wedding last week, and we traveled all the way from Texas. I have business in London and so we spent a week in the city prior to the wedding and ate at some of our favorite spots. We traveled to Braintree on the night before the wedding and found The House by Hilly Gant for our first meal in Essex. We were met by the chef when we walked through the door, and he and the wait staff met us with a smile and a handshake. Despite bringing a seven-year-old to a very nice restaurant, they treated us with absolute kindness and appreciation for our visit. The food was fantastic, and the service was impeccable. And I can honestly say that after a full week in London, this was our best meal of the trip. We felt so welcomed. It’s difficult for me to imagine another trip to Braintree all the way from Texas, but I might have to come up with a reason just so I can visit this restaurant again. Thank you so much to everyone for not only a great meal but a wonderful experience.

I went for Sunday lunch and it’s hands down the best roast beef (with trimmings) that I’ve ever eaten. Cooked to perfection, the Yorkshire stuffed with ox cheek was incredible and the veg. was perfectly al dente - flawless.

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.
