"We visited today and glad we had booked! We received a very warm greeting at the door and were shown to a good sized table with large comfortable chairs. Even though the beamed ceilings are low it did not feel claustrophobic. The decor is tasteful, and everywhere was clean and neat. The tables are not too close to each other and positioned so that it didn’t feel like a canteen. We were greeted warmly by a lady who took our drinks order. These arrived swiftly. Our food order was taken promptly and we were impressed that she checked for any allergies first. We went for the roast with a trio of meats. There were chicken, pork and beef. Each of these were cooked to absolute perfection. Homemade Yorkshires was a welcome change compared to most pubs. Large, crisp and light. The crackling, potatoes, stuffing, and roasted veg were all delicious. They were cooked to perfection and so well seasoned that nothing needed salt or pepper adding. We ordered the trio of veg and potatoes to share, because they sounded so delicious (and they were) but we probably didn’t need to. The BEST Dauphinoise we’ve ever had! Bottomless gravy was another welcome change. Our very friendly, efficient and helpful waitress Aimee checked back on us swiftly and then regularly. Everything was just perfect with the main course, and despite feeling full we forced down the trio of desserts to share, and the too tempting Baileys Chocolate Martini! The ambience was perfect too. No loud music or chairs scraping, due to carpets. All of the staff seemed genuinely happy to be there and our waitress Aimee is a credit to the business. (We were the party with the nippy dog sorry). The plate of treats for our dog was a lovely touch too. We have already booked for the very reasonably priced Christmas meal. If it’s this good on a busy day then we are very confident for our next visit. Highly recommended."

Very poor service. Food was good but after finishing starter and main we were left for 45 minutes with plates still on table and no member of staff even glancing in our direction, never mind asking if we wanted to see desert menu.

On our way home from a day out with the grandkids we found this lovely pub, who managed to fit us in at short notice. The food was wonderful, as was the service. The staff were all very friendly would definitely recommend this place

I’ve visited here about 4 times since April ‘23 and have enjoyed every single time. Their drinks, particularly their martinis, are outstanding and the food is insane! We love the fish and chips and the buttermilk chicken burger, and their desserts are to die for. The place is normally quite busy but always cosy and enjoyable. Staff are busy but always friendly and approachable. Prices are reasonable

We just happened to be in Battlesbridge Popped into The Hawk for dinner. Had drinks at the bar then greeted by Susan (Sue) who showed us to our table Sue could not have been more welcoming OMG The food for starters we had the scallops and the pate. Our mains linguine with clams and 10oz steak with beef dripping sauce (you’ll never have better) was fantastic Every course was checked on by Sue to make sure everything was ok Sticky toffee pudding with ice cream for dessert rounded of a perfect evening Every member of staff had a smile on their face and a bounce in their step Only thing missing was the chefs coming out of the kitchen for a bow A Great Experience. Thank you all. Pat Bob (6th Nov...

We visited for a special birthday as a family. The pub is warm and cosy, and very inviting. We were using a birthday voucher, and the waitress was happy to explain what we could have from the menu, which was very helpful. I was impressed by the cocktails (2 for £14 the passion fruit martini was very good. The scallop starter was probably the best scallop dish I’ve ever had so yummy, seasoned really well, and hot! The steak main was ok (big! but quite a lot of fat and a bit ropey. Lots of choices for the kids meals, which was good. The desserts were very good the trio especially ticks all the boxes. The service was really good, even when they were busier than normal. Would have given 5 stars...

An old fashioned pub with a bar area and a restaurant area. You can eat in the restaurant with table service waitress) or eat in the bar area with bar service you order at the bar). We had a nice table for two in the bar area next to a lovely log fire. Clearly a very popular venue with a mix of pre booked parties and those who just decided to turn up on the day. Dogs are very welcome. Good quality food we had traditional fish and chips and fish cake and chips both £16 £17) with a soft drink each totalling £41.40. I was therefore surprised that 2 x small sparkling waters plus a single dash of lime must be around £8. My fish was in a lovely light batter with well cooked chips. The pea puree wa...

"I was appalled about the quality of the service from the moment I arrived at the moment when I left what was when I arrived, I was not asked if I wanted a drink, and I was not asked about the whole meal. the waitress should have seen on the table that we only had water and asked if we wanted a drink. then we ordered our first round hot food. I pressed the help button and after waiting for a good minute for the waitress finally arrived. I felt it was too long. at this point in the evening there were three complete tables throughout the restaurant, so I thought the time we had to wait was bad. then the food began to come, but it didn't come quite. a few dishes came and then a few more and a few more afterwards. that meant that we didn't all eat together, we all ate at different times. I had ordered two dishes to eat at the same time and they did not arrive at the same time. very disappointing. the third order of hot food was beyond a sweat. it was clear that one of the two waitresses did not feel very comfortable (I heard one of the chiefs who told her to go home) she was our waitress. So we ordered the third round hot food. minutes later, we hadn't had our food yet. in this time the cook spoke with the sick waitress. then I pressed the help button and I explained that we had ordered something to eat and waited a long time. then I look at the waitress and the cook and it was absolutely clear that the order did not go through so that it was only then that the food started to cook. the waitress who took the order explained that there were many problems and it was sorry for her. as a customer who paid for a meal, I did not care about the problems, I still expected a good service and my food to turn. overall I thought the service was absolutely terrible. I will not visit this restaurant again and I will not recommend the restaurant to everyone."
