Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Just go here!
We decided to have a “fizz friday” bottle for only £10! To wash down a Seafood platter which they made from one person into a sharer! It was delicious with homemade Tartare Sauce!
Shelley was our waitress, she made our visit so welcoming, with great service and chat. Thank you so much.
The place was full with Weavers catering for a wake in the bar area but managed to fit us in, in the main restaurant which was quieter but pretty much full as well, thats how popular this place is and all at reasonable prices.

A hidden gem. We needed a function room near Braintree to celebrate my parents 60th wedding anniversary, and came across the Weavers restaurant website. We were delighted with the beautifully set up, large room which easily accommodated 19 of us (including 2 wheelchairs). The staff could not have been more friendly, helpful or accommodating and the food was delicious and plentiful. We were allowed access to the room over an hour before the event and had the room until 5.30pm. Our special day was made even more special and exceeded all expectations. Many thanks Lee, Shelley and all your staff.

Went in with the in laws on a visit, new menu looked amazing hard to pick what to have. I ordered Tuna Steak which was cooked to perfection and the salsa and veg were a great accompaniment. Everyone in party loved their meals. Atmosphere really nice and service great. Couldn't fault anything.

The Sunday dinner was excellent and lots of it.
Unfortunately the table was far too small to put everything on next to the main walkway in and of the dining area. fortunately we were sitting next to windows to put all the clutter on.
We asked if there was a bigger table available as there was a larger table near our dolls house table. But was told on that’s all they had available so no choice! We were told there the large table had been reserved.
Halfway through our after complaining about the difficulty eating off the dollhouse table they told us we could move to the large table. At this point we really couldn’t be bothered.
The staff were all very nice and pleasant but all be it a little disorganised.

I think you have assigned your review to the wrong restaurant. This picture is not food Weavers Bocking has ever served and it is not our furniture, we have reported your inaccuracy to Tripadvisor.

I visited today with the family, we booked a Sunday lunch four adults, two children. Two vegetarians and one coeliac.
On arrival my daughter’s menu was highlighted with what she could have and she was made to feel special.
The food was piping hot, plentiful and so tasty. I loved my vegetable pot pie, and the home made Yorkshire puddings were enormous.
The desserts well what can I say the fudge cake looked amazing, I had the passion fruit cheesecake it was the perfect combination the best cheesecake I have had in a long time.
The staff couldn’t have been more helpful, friendly and kind.

My husband and I were taken to Weavers today (New Years Day) for Sunday lunch. To be honest I am never particularly impressed with most ‘roast dinners’ out so my expectations were not particularly high. Firstly I was really impressed with the lovely big airy room, nicely decorated and not too cramped, we were served drinks almost immediately and given menus.
There was a lovely selection of all courses. I opted for the garlic mushrooms on bruschetta to start which was literally to top restaurant standard. My husband and friend had the breaded brie and her husband the prawn cocktail and were all delighted.
We then had the roast pork dinner which came with 5 different fresh vegetables, cauliflower cheese, parsnips and roast potatoes. This was honestly delicious.
For dessert we had the syrup pudding and custard which was light and so very tasty.
With drinks for four people I couldn’t believe how reasonably priced it all was.
I can safely say it’s the best roast dinner I have had out in Essex
Well done Weavers, lovely food, lovely atmosphere, lovely staff.
Happy New Year, See you all soon.

Situated inside Bocking Village Hall and Club, Weavers never disappoints. We went today for a birthday lunch and had the festive Christmas menu, served wonderfully by Lee.
My parnter and I both had 3 different items from the menu and thoroughly enjoyed all of them.
We have always recieved excellent service and delicious food at very reasonable prices.
The menu also changes regularly, so return trips give more choice.
We would recommend a visit.

Great food and attentive service from Lee.
We had considered going for 3 courses but the portions were very generous and a main course and desert easily filled us up.
We will definitely be back, in fact we’ve already booked and it was so good we joined the social club next door!!

Family birthday celebration. Food was as always exceptional, hot and everything was fresh and beautifully presented.
Everyone is friendly and welcoming. Service was fabulous. Nothing is too much trouble.
We would always choose Weavers as our preferred restaurant for any celebration or just a lunch.
A very special place in the heart of our village.
Thank you everyone 😊

I was looking for somewhere to organise a Sunday lunch for our classic car group & expecting 20-30 people to attend, Weavers Restaurant Did Not disappoint.
Our numbers soon grew to 40, Lee organised a move into their function room which was ideal.
The Staff & service, Food choice, quality, and amount was excellent.
Venue was lovely, we were lucky to have a sunny day and our members met in the Bar & garden for pre dinner drinks, only couple of small cliches which were sorted out straight away.
I had nothing but praise for the food, location & service from our members.
I defiantly recommend weavers and we will be returning.

I wanted to organise lunch for a walking group.
Lee was so helpful in arranging for a private room and allowing us to order in advance and park in the car park whilst on our two hour walk.
Today we returned from our walk and our 18 separately ordered meals were served up together,hot ,fresh and totally delicious.
This is sadly not always the case when ordering for a group.
The menu is varied and very reasonably priced.
I will certainly be back with friends for lunch and would recommend Weavers to anybody.

Weavers is just how a family friendly restaurant should be. Home prepared food, well cooked and served quickly and without pretension.
We had Sunday lunch on a cold day yet the restaurant was warm. My beef was very good and my wife's lamb was cooked to perfection.

We celebrated my 21st Birthday celebration at this amazing restaurant and the wonderful team and venue did not disappoint. Faultless food, friendly staff and a gorgeous venue made for the best time. The Weavers team definitely went the extra mile and had everyone talking about the incredibly good tasting food and beautiful room. Thank you for making the occasion so memorable.
