The Vine Inn in Braintree

Our first visit yesterday. The staff were very welcoming and accommodating. The food we had was excellent, as was the service received. We would highly recommend The Vine Inn

Visited just after the kitchens closed but staff couldn't have been more helpful. Very polite and great food too.

Proper pub serving decent home made meals. The beer is always well kept, the service good and the atmosphere friendly. Also the menu boards always have a few great dishes to chose from. Beer is replaced for the weekend, and always fresh.

Great food, lovely’s staff, clean and welcoming environment. Would definitely go again

Had lunch here today with friends.. the food was fantastic! Very welcoming and great service from the young waitress. The pork belly dish was superb.Thank you..

OMG💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖I went out for a car ride with my Husband, and we decided to drive around, until we found a pub that caught our eyes.... Time was getting on, and just as we thought we wouldn't find anything... We stumbled across this BEAUTIFUL old, small pub.. We went in and I asked if there was a table for two.. I was asked if I'd booked, er Nope didn't know you had too.... But after we'd been there for an hour, we fully understood why the Young Lady had asked the question..... The pub was filling up rather quickly, it seemed that there were obviously 'Regulars", as they knew the staff by names..We were throughly spoilt with the choice of menu.. We didn't go for starters, but we both had the Roast Lamb(Soooooo YUMMY), roast potatoes, red cabbage (cooked in Apple, cinnamon and red wine), carrots, peas and beautifully made gravy... I said to my Husband, that the meal we had just eaten was BETTER than a "Toby Carvery". We were pacing ourselves, and I needed to soak up my alcohol, as I downed a double Archers n coke, before we'd ordered our food.. I ordered a big glass of Zinfandel.. Liked very much... We ordered desserts.. Phil had Apple n Rhubarb crumble n custard, I had chocolate fudge gooey cake with ice cream and caramel sauce... I finished mine(coz it was so tasty, and also I'm a piggy), but poor old Phil could only manage half of his crumble(had we known how big the portion) was going to be, think we would have shared the afters.I was impressed with the knowledge of the staff, I was asking questions about what was in the red cabbage, what was the best wine.. And the Young lady knew the answers straight away, even though the pub was busy, the food came out on time, it came out hot.. Nothing was too much trouble, Pubs like,"The Vine Inn" are worth their weight in gold... Beautiful old quaint little pubs, make dinning out a pleasure.Thank you to, The Vine Inn, for making Myself and My Husband feel very welcome.... And WE will BE BACK... Now I know they do cream teas aswell😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋Thank You So Much to All the Staff at the pub for a really lovely day.Table no:7.

Excellent value pub grub. Could not have been anymore accommodating. Decent, honest, friendly staff. Would highly recommend be it a quiet drink or family meal out.

First time in The Vine for a meal and have to say it was amazing! We have lived in White Notley for a couple of years and thought we'd try somewhere different for a change.Incredible food! Lovely landlady, Great place and atmosphere. Certainly beats one of our locals!We will return definitely!

Lovely, only saw one staff member but she was so kind and friendly it was as if we were her only customers which we were not.Food was delicious and value for money. A nice place to eat and will go back again.

We went thete to celebrate my partners birthday as well as first day eating indoors! The food was just as amazing as I remembered.
