We enjoyed our meal at the House this evening. We had the parsnip soup, aranchini and pate to start, then the hake, liver and pork. All well cooked and attractively plated.

Hilly Gant in Braintree is a welcome upmarket option in the area. The a la carte menu is compact but good, and it's great to have the option of a separate vegan menu. The restaurant itself is lovely and full of character, and the staff are friendly. Food quality has varied on different visits, and it’s quite pricey — our two-course meal for four with drinks came to £290 — but overall it’s a nice experience.

Good food, nice atmosphere, very good staff. For the price, I had hoped for better. For the starters, I had the special brown shrimp linguine that was a bit too salty that overpowered the other flavours for me. The Chilli King prawn starter my wife had was very tasty. Main courses,I had the fillet of beef which was good, a bit on the medium side for a medium rare request, a thick piece of meat, crispy kale was interesting. The side of house chips with parmesan cheese was delicous. We would definitely come again, to try the chateau briand, it looked amazing, plus the parfait looked a better choice for starter.

A pleasant dining experience with regard to the venue and menu options, slightly pricey but overall offers good value.

The food was amazing. It worth the price. But we thought the atmosphere was cosier and it was bottomless drink (noise) and music was loud. The local looks so cool. We'll give another try other day and fingers crossed we can find the cosy environment linked to the local.

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 556 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.
