Ah, MEMHAS – what a little gem in Braintree! From the moment you step in, it's clear this place is all about heart and quality, run by a close-knit family team since 2017. I love how they keep things simple yet spot-on, with freshly made dishes that range from classic British fry-ups to tasty Sunday roasts, all sourced ethically and sustainably. The staff really make it shine; they're so friendly and attentive, always ready with a smile and quick service that makes you feel right at home. And at these prices, it's an absolute bargain for such wholesome food – plus, their coffee is supposedly the best around, which I've heard great things about. On the flip side, though, the hours can be a bit of a downer if you're not an early bird, closing up shop by mid-afternoon most days, so it's not the place for a night out. Also, with many menu items containing allergens, it might not be the easiest for folks with specific dietary preferences, and it's more cafe vibes than a full-on pub scene, so if you're after pints and evening chats, you might need to look elsewhere. Overall, it's a solid choice for a casual daytime visit – I'd say give it a go if you're in the area, as the positives far outweigh the niggles, and you'll likely leave with a full belly and a smile.
