Chef & Brewer Horse & Groom in Chelmsford

Our waitress Melina was excellent and very attentive nothing was too much trouble and the food was great would definitely recommend

This place needs a major uplift...it's a lovely pub and used to be ace but is now suffering from frayed carpets, knackered furniture and very poor Sunday dinners...the veg was inedible! Only savings grace was the lovely staff!

Fantastic service and decent price , served by Marketa . Lady was very enthusiastic and we had very interesting conversation during our meal. Highly recommended .

Arrived in a big group and Marketa managed to seat us all together, her professionalism and kindness was second to none, some of the group have dietary requirements which were met to a great standard and Marketa went above and beyond assisting us with this and through our stay. She was always smiling, polite and was great with the children. We will certainly be coming back through the winter and hopefully she will be serving us again. Thoroughly enjoyable experience that was above standard. Thank you Marketa

Excellent food and server. Waitress friendly and cheerful. Food was very good with good selection of dishes. Apple tart excellent

A lovely pub with a nice atmosphere - even when we visited midweek. Our server Karen was very attentive and helpful. Even better that we were able to bring our dog along!

This is ideally located with easy access. The food was really beautiful and everyone enjoyed what they had ordered. We all had starters and mains, with some having a desert as well because it was all so tasty. It was a pleasant surprise to go for a chain restaurant and not just be fed adequate food, they really have upped the bar. Service was excellent as well Karen looked after us and was very friendly and helpful. Well done Horse and groom for giving us a great experience.

great service , excellent food . & the care & attention from Karen was brilliant , certainly made it a day to remember for us & our family from australia to remember, many thanks.

From walking in door we where greated warmly and shown to a table. The friendliness of all the staff and the ambience made us feel right at home. We were looked after by Milena. Who was very helpful and attentive when we needed her. We had drinks while looking at the menu and were not rushed to order. We went for the slow roasted beef Sunday roast with side of cauliflower cheese and pigs in blankets and the hake dish. Followed by mini desert selection and strawberry and elderflower Sunday. I've got to say the roast was exceptional. The homemade Yorkshire was delicious. The beef fell off the bone, and it's got to be the best pub Sunday roast I've ever had. Apparently, the fish dish was delicious as well. We really did not need dessert as we felt full, but we did anyway, and they were superb as well. We will definitely be back. If you like an old fashion traditional style pub with excellent service and standards I can't recommend enough. The chef and kitchen staff deserve a thank you as well as front of house . The other us point where the toilets spotlessly clean and smelled fresh which is always a good sign for the care the staff go to.

We had Christmas dinner here today and it was absolutely lovely I would recommend it. Our food was all perfect and the service from Milena was great nothing was too much trouble. My little dog was made more than welcome. The pub looked lovely with its festive trees and lights. We will definitely return again without hesitation.

We took my Mum here for lunch on a lovely Summer's day so sat outside. The car park was full but there were plenty of tables available. We were served promptly by a couple of different friendly waitresses and our food was served in good time, and all of our different meals were fresh, hot and nicely presented. The only gripe we all had is the comfort of the chairs. They are nice large chairs, but boy, were they uncomfortable on the derriere! My partner and I both have plenty of cushioning of our own but even we found it quite uncomfortable. We would go there again, as there were a few other dishes we would like to try, but, or butt!! either sit inside, or take a cushion!

Our friends and us had a terrific lunch at this pub food and service was excellent with plenty of banter with staff Maria & Josh. We will return soon for more.
