We visited Acanteen today and had a fantastic experience compared to a previous slightly negative experience which I was reluctant to post. The service was excellent and as always the food was delicious. It has changed my previous experience and I would certainly be revisiting with family and friends and recommend highly. Thank you Acanteen staff

The food and environment were great. My partner said she felt incredibly cold. Though I didn't notice anything, perhaps as it was still relatively early in the morning, the venue was still warming up.

Our worst visit, have been loads of times and it’s always been good, we had a table at past 3pm on a Sunday, the roast wasn’t nice, maybe our mistake for eating late but it all tasted like it had been sat there all day (which it probably had). Was not impressed, sorry.

Always a great night at A Canteen, my favourite place to go out in Chelmsford for an evening. Great food, great wine & always a friendly crowd. We saw an Oasis tribute band & they were brilliant, such a brilliant cool venue. Looking froward to the raving frog event in April next :-)

CHANGED MY REVIEW TO 5 STARS. New gluten free menu is amazing. Well done. I came on Saturday for lunch. As celiac I can't recommend ACanteen, in fact I would avoid. Confusing menu where each item has to be cross referenced to a large dirty looking folder with limited help from the waitress. In the end we walked out and went to Bills where they had a separate menu specifically with GF items. No fuss. I have eaten at ACanteen before I was diagnosed with celiac disease and the food was good. But they seem to be behind the times when it comes to dealing with intolerances. Up your game ACanteen. Just stick a GF on the items that GF at the very least. At best print another menu with options and advise staff how to deal with customers with intolerances.

So I've always found Acanteen a bit hit and miss in the past. Staff are always good even with a dissatisfied customer. But Sasha who served us and the Chef and his team were nothing less than BRILLIANT on my visit last Saturday. As I now have food intolerance - Sasha was back and forth with the menu to the kitchen until they hit upon the solution of beautiful freshly made chicken, salad and fries. So grateful for food and service.

Have been here a few times and went for Sunday Roast. They were busy, but the service was slower than it should have been and the roast beef was over-cooked. They also kept the front door open which made it cold inside. Unfortunate, because I've generally always liked the place.

We had a fabulous night at the recent Whitney tribute evening. The food was delicious and our waiter, Sacha was really great, making sure we were happy with our food, and getting us drinks etc. Unfortunately, due to it being so busy, we didn't get our food until the music started, meaning we couldn't enjoy the first set as much as we might have done. The music was incredible. If possible, it might be better to get food pre-ordered to reduce time taken to take orders and mitigate running out of some dishes and it would definitely have benefited from more staff in the kitchen and waiting staff.

Nearly an hour to get a few pints (4 exactly). Management was nonexistent. A great hospitality place in town with a charming and cool atmosphere going decaying due to poor management.

I recently visited Acanteen with seven other mums and our babies (all under one year old), and it was such a wonderful experience! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the food was fantastic. Emma, the owner, was incredibly friendly and welcoming—she even took a group photo to commemorate the occasion, which was such a thoughtful touch. What really stood out was how accommodating they were for all the buggies. Without us even having to ask, they gave us extra space, making us feel so comfortable and at ease. It’s clear that they really care about their customers and go out of their way to make sure everyone has a great experience. If you're looking for a considerate and family-friendly spot with great vibes and excellent food, I highly recommend Acanteen!

Such a wonderful beautiful place. One of the most popular & modern places in Chelmsford imo .. like a place you’d find in the West End or on a Baleriac island .. prices are pretty reasonable for such a place too! Waiters and management couldn’t have been more professional, friendly , attentive and perfect customer service. Give you all the time in the world to even take family photos! Gorgeous setting with her looking the river .. seating outside and the shutters all opened up on the warmer days and has a holiday feel place to it .. lovely coffee barista part at the front and also a bar whether you want a real nice coffee and a bar snack or some amazing cocktails or glass of champagne. I’m TEETOTAL so they do an amazing choice of Mocktails and only around £5 and a beautiful mocktail made up with palm leaves and big chunks of pineapple like an ibiza long drink! Gorgous home stone baked pizzas and lots of other various dishes .. good mains with fresh fish and also spoilt for choice with small plates/ sides/ starters which is great for me as I have a small appetite. My boys loved the freshly cooked double burgers and the triple cooked chips and the stone baked mozerella garlic flat bread was to die for! Gorgeous quieter restaurant where we ate but also at the front part there are gorgeous chase lounges and sofas with or without tables .. ans can mingle there .. have drinks .. and even bring your precious dogs! and this was just a normal thursday night! Definitely booking many more nights here as they have amazing DJs and comedy nights and top West end singers to enjoy as you dine or drink there. I couldn’t fault A Canteen and I thank you for making my birthday last minute get together meal for myself and my boys so special x

This was the first time I'd been to Acanteen in a long time and I left feeling disappointed. It wasn't particularly busy (for a Saturday night) yet service was slow, the waiting staff had to keep checking orders as they weren't sure what items were on the iPad vs what's written on the menu, and we were sat right next to a very loud group of people, despite there being other tables free that were the other side of the room, which made it very difficult for us to talk and to anyone or be heard. My meal was lovely but I won't be rushing back.

I am posting on here as all emails have not delivered To SLT, I am writing after having experienced the worst service in a restaurant I have had. I arrived with my family (3 of us) for a walk in lunch at 1pm today knowing the food is great having been many times before. The female host on the front desk was disinterested when showing us to the table and had walked off before we got to the table. We waited 25 mins without contact from your team, not even an acknowledgment to say they were getting to us, at which point we got up and left. We left your restaurant without staff acknowledging our departure. I have never walked out of a restaurant before and I now, disappointingly, won’t be back. I didn’t want to put any negative reviews on any social media platforms knowing you are a small local business but also wanted to make you aware.

Usually a visit for a couple of drinks, on this occasion visited with some friends from Dorset. My burger was well made and tasty, my friends very much enjoyed the pizzas. A very decent wine was an ideal accompaniment. Can highly recommend for the excellent staff service, very polite and attentive. The cocktail bar has windows facing the river and allows for plenty of light and sunshine. There are also a few tables situated outside this bar. For the purposes of coffee or an afternoon pot tea a decent sized and comfortable lounge is situated across from the cocktail bar. This is also used as an addition to the bar for a more comfortable seating arrangement. There are frequent themed nights, which although I do not attend, are very popular and by all accounts very enjoyable. A medium sized room is also available for more of a private party vibe. I’m also pleased to report that cleanliness is very good throughout this establishment.

Acanteen My partner and I came here on Sunday for brunch. We didn’t book a table and it was quite busy so they gave us a table in the lounge area. This area is counter service, and after we decided on food and drink I went up to the bar to order. The girl behind the bar was clearly distracted and had a lot of trouble with our order. We ordered the Verde Eggs and a build your own breakfast. Our drinks came out quick, but I’d ordered an extra cup with the pot of tea that didn’t come. That was okay because we asked the server and she brought one immediately. Then we waited and waited and waited. No one brought us cutlery or tap water. No one checked in on us. 30 minutes later our food came and a welcome sight that was. Mind you, we still had to take cutlery from another table. Unfortunately, they had forgot the bacon on the byo breakfast and hadn’t included any syrup or butter for the pancakes. We requested the bacon and found out that they hadn’t included that in the order. Fortunately, they brought it out and didn’t charge us. The atmosphere was nice. It was calm and clean and there was a good amount of space between tables, you didn’t feel packed in. The food was okay, the verde eggs had a nice combination of components but nothing shone through. The pesto got lost behind the heaps of guacamole. The build your own breakfast was also swamped by guacamole, but the bacon and sausage were tasty. Overall, the service really let this place down and the food was just okay.

Found this place on our way to another food place that we had searched for on Google. Decided to try here and am extremely glad we did. Welcomed by a friendly and helpful young lady, and then the service by all members of staff was pleasant, attentive, and helpful. Food was lovely, and the bartender made my wife a drink that she requested but was not on the menu! Our first time here, and we already said it will not be our last! Left very happy and full up!! 😊

Really disappointed in the food here. Menu was very limited and we were surprised by the prices. All options were fried food, with chips. £17 for cod and chips and it came right out of a freezer packet. Something I could have cooked at home for less than £4. Husband had a burger, which was more reasonable at 6.50, but imagine the quality. Bar tender is super friendly, and it's a cute pub, surrounded by a nice walk. Kitchen needs to seriously improve!!

Met at this charming pub with some old friends for a little Christmas drinks gathering. One of my pals has been a regular for many years and I've been here numerous times myself. However, whilst enjoying the array of many different beers you have on tap I was physically and verbally abused by one of your staff!? So, to explain we'd been in for a couple of hours and were enjoying the hustle and bustle of a busy Saturday evening, along with many other like minded ale drinkers. We sat, chatting, laughing, drinking and getting a bit merry. The table next to us had just finished their drinks and headed out the door. So, without purposely trying to annoy someone I casually lifted my leg and rested my calf on the stall next to me. Nothing wrong with that you'd think? I am due for a knee op in the not too distant future and when sat in the same position for a while my knee tends to tighten up a bit so. I'd just momentarily rested my calf on the little stool next to me to loosen off the tension a little. Then, some aggresive bloke, with a bald head shoved my leg off the stool, got in my face and shouted something along the lines of "Get yer feet off! You're not at home now! Who d'ya think you are?" Wow!? I was shocked. And to add to it, when I tried to ask him why he was being so aggressive? He continued to act like a Sargent Major and kept talking over me? How rude!? He walked off and I called out "Hey!" He then came back at me and shouted "Don't say Hey to me!!" There was no way of reasoning with him and my friends were also having trouble understanding why he wouldn't explain to us why he had a terrible attitude and an aggressive manner to the people who are putting money in his pocket? I mean if had muddy boots and the underneath of my foot was on a stool I could understand, as a glass collector you may be slightly annoyed with me, making a mess of your tidy seating arrangement, but you politely ask me to keep my muddy feet down please, no? The guys behind the bar were true ladies and gentlemen! Every time we went up to order they were very helpful and allowed us to "try before we buy." So, being pushed and starting an argument with us is not the way to keep customers coming back is it? He needs to learn good etiquette and how to treat his customers with respect before he's let loose in the bar again. Because while he's there our drinking experience will be ruined if we return. And next time I may not be so polite to him..
