Food is always good here, reasonable quality , place is clean and staff friendly, does what it says on the side of the tin- it’s a cafe. BUT - spoilt by noisy uncontrolled children, why do the parents think it’s ok for them to express themselves in scream, shout, drop food on the floor- I would hate to see the state of their homes. Teach the kids to use knife and forks, not fingers. No wonder kids have no respect. Albeit not Munchies fault, but they have to contend with clearing up the mess. So well done here!

Munchies do a fantastic takeaway Jacket potato - definitely worth calling ahead with your order. They do get busy!

What can I say? The full English is just the best and breakfast here can see me right through the day. My daughter loves the Veggie option. The two owners put so much pride into delivering good value honest grub. Portion sizes are very generous, the prices are very fair. I tend to use the takeaway service and everything is still hot (and the eggs are still runny!) when I get back home. I just wish my waistline would allow me to visit more often!

Poached eggs on toast and fried tomatoes. The tomatoes had a slight taste from frying in oil that needed changing. Coffee was OK. Staff were pleasant and welcoming. The ambience of the cafe is a little bleak and utilitarian. Very competitive price so they won't have much margin available for decor!

Service is absolutely amazing, the staff are so polite! Great quality food and great value for money as the portions sizes are big. The cafe is always clean. I LOVE MUNCHIES!! I recommend the Oreo milkshake, this is the best place in the whole area!!

Fantastic breakfast. If your hungry/ hungover or just want some decent food then munchies has to be your stop. Don’t bother with Sainsbury’s cafe or the fast food places. The staff are friendly and will cater to any requests that you have. Go there they have the best breakfast you could ever need.

We often have breakfast at Munchies at the weekend. I usually have Set Menu 1 which is egg, bacon, sausage and beans (£4.80) plus bubble and squeak (£1.20) which includes a drink and either bread or toast, all for £6.00. Excellent food and prices with prompt and friendly service.

Went with my daughter for breakfast excellent food always too much on my plate always busy very clean and staff nice Only thing I can moan about is all the trades people in their vans that stop for food could park around the back as I’m not ver mobile and most of the time can’t get parked so end up eating else where .

(Braintax) A bunch of us were heading up to London for the day, and agreed to meet up at Munchies, as it's conveniently close to the local railway station. Breakfast was on the agenda. Munchies opens early - 7am weekdays - catering for tradesmen and offers a reasonable selection of breakfasts, from under a fiver to the 'Full English' at £7.40. I ordered 'set breakfast 4', which comprises Egg, Bacon, Hash Brown, Black Pudding, Sausage and Beans for £6.20, but swapped the beans for tinned tomatoes. All breakfasts come with Tea, Coffee of Juice, and two slices of bread & butter or toast. Service was prompt, and the food freshly cooked and all very tasty. My only misgiving was with the sausage, I would happily have paid a bit extra for a Cumberland sausage. I mentioned this to the manageress, she politely shrugged and advised me that most people like the sausages - fair enough. I guess I'm just picky. Munchies is clean, the service is prompt and friendly and the food is freshly cooked, and affordable. What's not to like?

Lovely food, big portions, low prices. Staff where not the friendliest or the most attentive, we wasnt to bothered as we only went for a quite lunch. Would give a better feeling is they where more friendly as approaching them was difficult. Still great food at a great price. Milkshakes amazing, good coffee. Could even get a proper meal not just a fancy full English. Plenty the choose from.

We were feeling rather peckish & after shopping saw Munchies cafe so thought we would give it a try. The staff were very friendly and after looking at their menu we decided to try their full english breakfast washed down with a cup of coffee. These arrived shortly after & were found to be very tasty in deed, as was the coffee. They also have other items to tempt you too, such a lovely cakes etc.Good basic food at a very reasonable price.

When I heard of munchies I was told that it was just a normal cafe that sold lovely full english's, but that is not all! They sell a variety of dishes for breakfast lunch and dinner, and I must say they all looked very yummy, although I did stick to a full English.Sausages and bacon were cooked to perfection, no red inside/undercooked parts at all, hash browns are to die for and the baked beans are wonderful.The staff were very friendly and relaxed and looked like they enjoyed working there, which is always nice to see as a customer.

My OH and I called in to Rossini's on Friday evening for a quick bite to save cooking. The restaurant is in a cordoned off section of the Two Brewers Pub, and although the pub itself seemed quite busy we were surprised that there were no other diners in the restaurant area. The restaurant area is decorated with artificial plants, vases and pots, and photos of Italy - it's not really flash but feels cosy and like a little authentic Italian family neighbourhood restaurant. Service was excellent, both of our servers were friendly and chatty, and despite being the only diners we didn't feel uncomfortable or unwelcome which can sometimes be the case. Food was first rate, again nothing flash but authentic and reasonably priced pasta, pizzas and main course grills in good sized portions. My OH had Arancini for a starter, I tried it too and we both thought it was very tasty. I had a spicy chicken, bacon and tomato penne and it was very spicy but lovely, my OH had the house pasta which he declared very good. We were both too full for desserts but next time we will save room! I do hope Rossini's gets more customers as they deserve to succeed, it is so nice to have an authentic and well priced Italian in Chelmsford instead of all the chain restaurants and over priced 'special occasion' restaurants.

brought my Aunt here for Sunday lunch - we both had the carvery. There were 5 different meats on offer: lamb/beef/turkey/pork and gammon - all looked delicious, and we were given plenty of it. The variety of veg was amazing, and the roast potatoes were to die for! Our drinks waiter Roman was friendly and attentive, without being annoying, and Jane the Chef was also very friendly and helpful. A very pleasant experience that will be repeated.
