The Green Man in Brentwood

This place has the vibrant buzz of morgue and I've had more fun watching a snail hump a deformed pebble in my garden than I had engaging the gormless staff at this mansion of misery. If you are considering suicide , this would be the ideal place to come for your final drink for reassurance that life is not worth living anymore.

Won’t be going back here. Food and service was awful.Ordered the beef roast, it arrives warm, not hot, beef was tough as old boots. We were approached by a waitress asking if everything was ok with the food and I mentioned the beef was really tough, she said she would get me another bit but surely the whole joint would have been tough. Anyway, didn’t even get that far as I then cut in to a potato and it was cold, I just put up with it as I had already commented on the beef but the next potato was still hard, it hadn’t been cooked properly. I caught the same waitresses attention, told her my potatoes were not cooked properly and she just walked away. Another woman came over, presumably a manager, I explained how awful my roast was and it was taken away. I didn’t want another roast.Then for dessert, I ordered the crumble, after a disappointing roast, I was looking forward to this however my dissatisfaction continued. The crumble was cold like it had come straight out of the fridge and the crumble mix was like sawdust just sprinkled on top. Again, this was taken away.Very disappointing experience and I will not be returning. Food was awful.

Food was very good and the atmosphere was lively. You're in for a treat if you like 80s music, haha. Location is easy to find, and the building itself is lovely. Menu had the standard gastropub stuff on it, with a couple of added extras, which were nice to see. Service was better than a lot of places I have been lately, but the only reason it didn't get 5 stars was a dodgy smell that hit us halfway through our meal. I literally have no idea what it was or where it came from, and it had gone after 10 minutes. Very odd. I would go back again.

I Come here a couple of times a month,never a issue however when you see signs on the bar advertising for a new chef and waitresses this should raise alarm bells! Absolute shocking food,food order was wrong and told it would take 20minutes to resolve-hence only one other group of ladies Albright still waiting for there food too!gave my daughter half of my dinner and the cod was undercooked and full of cooking oil.None of my table ate any of the poorly cooked food,we then complained to the confrontational manager who simply apologised and demanded we would pay for the drinks,I explained the whole day was ruined and we should not pay for drinks,he said there was nothing wrong with the drinks and as we left there was a waitress waiting at the bar waving the drinks bill. Disgusting customer service and I shall never return due to the attitude of the manger and staff.if my car wasn’t outside I would have simply walked out.

Could not fault the service. The young table staff were very good. However, despite the good portion sizes, I was disappointed with the quality of my Sunday roast. Not sure I would eat here again.

Not overvenhammered by the food, good selection and service but cooking needs improvement. Wife had tempura prawns and I had garlic mushrooms both of which were way to overcooked, liver and bacon which 3 of us had found, not enough Mash and the liver slightly undercooked, wife had the grilled salmon which was lovely but the accompanying Mediterranean veg was a very small portion and the courgettes were so hard they were uneddable. Will not be returning

Absolutely lovely. Had a super lunch in here. Staff were polite, friendly, attentive, but not overly so. The food was excellent. The pub is cosy & relaxed. Well done.

My partner and I stumbbled into this pub yesterday evening, the environment looked great and we were starving as we had just finished work. The bartender who got the waitresses to provide us for a table for 2 was really friendly and provided great customer service.We were seating by a blonde lady who was super attentive and really nice aswell provide outstanding customer service aswell.My girlfriend ordered a beetroot burger and I ordered a chicken breast with mushroom sauce. The presentation was great but the food lacked seasoning.My partner said her beetroot burger was good but my chicken was not the best. The chicken not only tasted a bit plain, the sauce needed a little bit more flavour aswell. The chicken also had some but in the middle that were not really pleasant to eat hence I left it (normally those bits are removed).When asked how everuthing was I said fine as overall the experience was nice.In terms of the food id say 3 stars, however the customer service is 5 stars! Hence overall id give this place 4 stars!

Yet another visit to this gem of a restaurant for Fathers Day. Again lovely friendly service, and food to die for. 😋

Really efficient staff. Food is always great and reasonably priced. Cracking Sunday lunch.
