Frydays in Chelmsford

Fantastic brunch treat with my mother. Lovely no nonsense place and food. Friendly staff that always say hello.

Only been once for breakfast and I must say it was lovely. Full English breakfast with a nice cup of tea. I could have had a beer, but I was off the races. Place is lovely and the staff were really friendly. I’ll definitely be going back at some point.

Such a shame, this pub used to be the perfect blend of country charm, eclectic atmosphere and buzz. Now it is a sorry reflection of its former self. The whole place has been redesigned nicely, not that it particularly needed it and the menu matches its sister restaurant in Little Waltham which has always been steady, however this place is consistently poor. I have returned twice in the hope that they might get it right after some early teething problems , but if anything it has gotten worse. At first the food seemed to be ok but the service dreadfully slow, staff standing about, hardly busy, yet plates remain on tables for 20 mins, drinks orders forgotten, our first meal took nearly 3 hours to complete. Today the pub was almost empty, food on the floors from previous sittings and almost zero attention from the staff. Such a shame as it is in a fabulous location, the positive reviews are either for the original owners or faked by the new. Go to one of the pubs in Stock instead! __________________________________ Follow up: had an email offering me £20 as an apology. I have said it is not about money and I have had 3 poor experiences there now. Said I would return when they had confirmed things have been improved and have not heard back 🤷🏼

As a customer that was always in shwings when they had a restaurant on new london rd, I’m so so so disappointed on the new location, service, and the standard of food. Me and my partner decided to have shwings because we hadnt had it since they shut the restaurant, we was very let down by the whole experience and definitely wont be returning which is really annoying as we enjoyed it so much at the restaurant. The food was served on paper plates/bowls, we got given wooden forks, and the quality of the food wasnt up to the standards we’ve previously experienced with shwings. The location is not great either as its a bar/club and frequently visted by the homeless which makes an unpleasant atmosphere while eating. This used to be a restaurant you could take the family or be with friends and would have a lovely meal, great experience every single time. Now I definitely wouldn’t recommend for anyone with children or even a meal with friends. Overall a very disappointing experience and so sad.

Was starving on our way back from our day trip. Stumbled on the globe pub. Was so pleased they were serving food at home 4pm on a Sunday. A roast dinner and pudding was £14.99. I didn't expect much at that price! Well it was really really tasty. Would most definatley recommend.
