The Robin - Brentwood

I went to this restaurant with my partner and son intending to just have a few drinks, but ended up trying the food for the first time. It was delicious! The portion sizes were generous and reasonably priced. I also appreciated that they are dog-friendly. We will definitely be returning soon!

Unfortunately, due to unexpected circumstances, I had to change the location of my mother's wake from home to a different venue at short notice. After contacting several pubs near Bentley Crematorium, Carla from The Robin responded promptly and informed me that they could accommodate us. When my daughter and I visited the pub, Carla showed us the space where the wake would be held and took care of every small detail, even catering for vegans without any issues. The pricing was transparent and reasonable. The spread of food was impressive, with tables adorned with fresh flowers in my mother's favorite color. Despite having more guests than anticipated, there was plenty of food for everyone, and I received many compliments on the quality. Some of the attendees even enjoyed the welcoming and friendly atmosphere in the main bar, where the bar staff were delightful. The pub truly honored my mother's memory, and I cannot commend them enough. Although I had seen The Robin many times before, this experience has left a lasting impression, and I look forward to returning in the future, hopefully under happier circumstances.

Our experience at The Robin was awful. Despite the mandatory face mask policy in communal areas, we were the only ones wearing masks. Our waiter also did not wear a mask while serving us, which was unsettling as a vulnerable person. The waiter was unprofessional and had us set up our own table. The drinks were good, but we waited 45 minutes for our starters. There was no vegetarian option in the veggie roast, just vegetables and potatoes, which was misleading. The food was served by a mask-less lady who shouted the names of the roasts across the table. Two people left our group early due to the poor service. The supervisor was apologetic and reassured us that this was not the norm at The Robin. This was our third visit there and while the food is always delicious, the service is a major letdown.

My mum and I had sandwiches and coffee today and were blown away by the welcome and friendliness of the staff. As a bonus we sat in beautiful sun!

We always go in here for a Sunday lunch and the food gets better and better. Staff are so easy to get into conversation with. Al though there is a small car park people are more than happy to top and turn in there ...Other wise parking with just a short walk
