Thatchers Arms Great Warley - Brentwood

Paul M.

My family and I had decided to go to this place last Saturday, to celebrate Mother's Day. It was almost impossible to get a table on Mother's Day, so it was a better option to celebrate it on Saturday. Also I wanted to try this place after passing it several times when we go to Brentwood.

So atmosphere was very lively, with a lot of jolly revelry at the bar, but once we got to the table and ordered our food, the place become a little bit quieter, which I did not mind.

The service was pretty good and the waitress was very attentive to our needs. We ordered the salt and pepper squid and panko prawns. The former was good, but a bit too much batter for my liking, but the prawns were top notch. It had that crispy texture, which was very nice.

I ordered the pork loin and it was very good. It was nice and succulent, but if there is one suggestion, it just needed a bit more seasoning, but everything else on the plate was really good, especially the buttery mash. I did try some of my wife's fish and chips, and chips were unbelievably well cooked, it tasted gorgeous. There was not a single limp chip there.

I ordered the lemon cheesecake and it was the highlight. It tasted so light and just enough sweetness to placate my sweet tooth. Some deserts can be overloaded with sugar, but this just made so.

I would highly recommend this pub, and though it seems like a local pub, everyone is welcome here in The Thatcher Arms.

Steak Night at The Thatchers Arms – A Perfect 5-Star Experience
We had the pleasure of enjoying steak night at The Thatchers Arms, and it was truly exceptional. The 5-star chef, service, and ambience made the evening unforgettable.

Our meals were simply sublime. The steaks were perfectly cooked, with mine being rare/blue, and my husbands medium rare, they were bursting with flavour, and undoubtedly the best we’ve ever had anywhere. Compliments to the chef and the fantastic team for delivering such a high-quality dining experience.

If you’re looking for a place to enjoy an impeccable steak dinner,then you must visit The Thatchers Arms on a Wednesday for steak night.
Thank you again to the fantastic team.

Beautiful Sunday lunch as always, staff friendly and attentive. Food is traditional home cooked great quality from the owners own farm. Price is fair for the quality, a little more meat would be nice but I respect the high quality of this could make it not possible.

Kind Thanks x

Thought we’d give this Pub a try after a walk. The food was served hot and nice portion.
Friendly staff and overall we enjoyed our meal and time here.
Coffee not the best, but machine made, so avoid if you can.

So disorganised, bring the wrong food. Even though u have reserved ur table, u still have to wait up to 30 min. Condiments on tables are empty. It used to b nice. But I wouldn't go back and eat there. Food was OK once u got it. Bar staff not great.
