Shwings in Chelmsford

Maybe we were unlucky, we went there as we have seen show on TV in the past. Some wings tasted like they were cooked one day ago and reheated so many times that they dried completely. Unfortunately I cannot recommend.

Unfortunately this restaurant has closed down but is still taking bookings. Arrived to quite the surprise.

Don’t eat here. Appalling service. Bar man ignored us as we entered and we had to wait 5 mins for him to stop looking at his phone and then we waited 10 mins for a menu. Had to ask another member of staff. Then all the staff disappeared and we couldn't order a drink let alone food. No star for food as we didn’t get to eat any. Only one star as I had to click something to leave a review. No substance. No style. Rubbish service. Not value for money. Left and had a wonderful meal elsewhere.

Try the SFC wings they are so good!

Great wings, good choice - Dan, our waiter was amazing! Will be back

This place is a fabulous place to eat. It is clean, has a lively atmosphere, friendly staff who are very attentive, wide selection of drinks and the wings are AMAZING! We tried a sharing platter (flavours were garlic parmesan, korean and SFC), loaded skins and the sweet potato fries. Everything was delicious! If you have the chance to go - you must!

Fabulous food and exceptional knowledge of Ceoliac allergy and therefore very accommodating. Would definitely visit again.

The worst food ever. Delivery was late and food was ice cold. Extortionate prices.. coleslaw was dry veg. Shameful.

This place is awesome, loved the atmosphere and the chicken wings won’t be beaten. Highly recommend visiting 👌🏻

Shwings catered for a football tournament we hosted in January and would 100% be using again. From initial convos to the actual event, Mark and his team made the whole experience was super easy and the food was unbelievable. Shwings fed over 200 people with no issues and every single person was extremely happy with their food. If you want a stress free caterer who will over perform Shwings are the people for you!!

Fantastic buffalo wings. Great place to eat.

Another amazing meal at this fabulous place. The buffalo wings are the best I’ve eaten. Lots of different flavour to choose from, you won’t be disappointed. Daniel, as always, was great; couldn’t do enough for us, talked us through all the flavours and options.

Fantastic time at Shwings, quick & friendly service, delicious chicken wings and a great set of tunes. We'll be back!

Took my girls there for an impromptu Tuesday dinner . Such a gem of a place in Chelmsford, ditch the dull chains and try this amazing little restaurant. The food is top notch incredibly tasty , so is the music . Such friendly staff , nothing too much trouble for Daniel or the girl working with him tonight. Felt it was well worth a thank you

Absolutely 1st class, food was exceptional, service was fast and on point, they have done really well with this restaurant even the interior was well put together,,, all in I highly recommend, u havnt eaten chicken until u hav been here!

Absolutely delicious food, elevated the classic wings to another level! Service and music all great 👌🏻

Superb - loved it highly reccomend, shared a mix platter with my daughter 10/10 will be back again for sure.......

1st time at Shwings and won't be the last... Done the unlimited wings on a wednesday and loved them all..

Amazing food. We had the lunch deal (6 wings or burger + chips for £10), the citrus pepper chicken burger was absolutely unreal and the SFC wings were delicious. Atmosphere was lovely and brilliant service from Dan and all staff!

The SFC wings are by far the best wings I've ever had been twice now and will definitely be visiting again when we are next in Chelmsford. All of the staff are very friendly also.

I attended “Shwings” restaurant this evening and what a remarkable service I received. The food was out of the world. Highly recommend and will be returning.

We ate at Shwings on the 30th December before a function around the corner. Not from the area, you never know what to expect but we were pleasantly surprised. Great atmosphere, very friendly staff, smart layout and decor, great food and drinks. Was just perfect and when back in town will definitely visit again. Bang on!

Best vegetarian cauliflower wings I’ve had and the buffalo fries are fire 🔥 so I want this place to stick around. Heads up to management - the music is just way too loud - my partner and I went in to have a couple beers and eat, but could not even have a conversation over the music - really put us off and have since been ordering takeaway. I tried again with a friend about a month later and same thing - I know you are trying to set a vibe, but chill.

If u are wings lover the place is for u. They have different signature flavours u can choose from. The wings themselves are succulent and tasty. For the sides tried deep fried pickles, which were alwasome and potato skins, which were somewhat undercooked. They had 2 for 1 for cocktails and were really happy with them. Definitely worth a visit.

Went for dinner at shwings Tuesday night, Dan and Harvey were great hosts and the added bonus there was a dj playing as you enter the restaurant, food was lovely, quick and hot, definitely return again 🙂

We wanted to visit Shwings after trying some of their food on a food truck. The venue is nice and has a rustic feel although the music was far too loud for a Friday lunchtime. Service was quick. Our server was lovely although lacked knowledge about gluten-free options. I asked which items were gluten free to which he responded that everything bar four of the items because of the sauces are not gluten-free. I ordered the potato tots and ate two of them. Later that evening, I had an extreme flare-up and was very ill, which lasted for several days as I have an allergy to wheat. When I contacted the restaurant to ask whether or not they are gluten-free I was told they only use gluten-free flour (which is great) but after checking online at their ingredient list they use breadcrumbs on the potato tots. I asked the individual emailing me to confirm whether the bread crumbs they used were gluten-free, and they confirmed that actually they were not. After detailing what happened during and after my visit, the individual did not respond to my email, very poor customer service. So, as I stated in my email. You need to do better at educating your staff and ensuring that allergens are clearly labelled on the menu as I had to miss a family event and a days work due to how sick I was and i didn't even get an apology from the restaurant.

Love this place! I love wings and their buffalo wings were spot on. Side of sliced pickle is also a winner!

The waiters love to talk but aren’t productive whatsoever, the restaurant is way too small if you want to celebrate an occasion. Sat here for 2 hours until I got my buffalo burger. I am very disappointed, the food wasn’t very good for the wait and the chicken was dry. When you are ordering your food the waiters disagree with your sauce options and try to change your mind and won’t stop convincing you unless you choose to order what they “recommend”. The music was too loud, could barely hear myself think. The waiters keep asking you if you’re ok rather than actually bringing you the food you ordered. The wait was ridiculous, the food wasn’t worth the wait, the waiters weren’t productive whatsoever and the whole experience was ridiculous and extremely aggravating. Absolutely disgusting. I hated this experience and would recommend not to visit for a meal on a day out because it isn’t worth it wasting your whole day waiting for food that isn’t even good. Don’t visit, that’s some free advice from me :)

The wings are awsome, gotta try this place 😋

Visited shwings as we always do when in Chelmsford for food. As always food was excellent 👍 Couple of points from visit but not major issues. New menu since we last visited and have now removed skewer and extra hot wings. Shame as they were my favourites. When ordering starters they were brought out with main dishes which was strange. Would have preferred them to start with then our main course afterwards. All seemed a little rushed. Also service was slightly slow but the waiters and waitresses were very busy. Apart from that food was as good as always 👍

We visit Shwings Saturday in November food as good as always. BUT…… Four of us dined out and ordered starters. Starters brought out with main courses. Very strange. New menu not as good as previous. No skewer and no hot wings. Great shame

Absolutely incredible wings, kids love it here lively with music and lighting, staff are great. Sfc wings on the new menu are out of this world.

Just go and eat the black curry wings. Thank me later for the tip.

Only ones in the restaurant but there was a lot going on in Chelmsford. But there food and service was very good my sons favourite place

Really great place, loved the decor, the food and atmosphere. Can’t wait to go back!

The best Spot in Essex, food was out of this world, atmosphere is wicked, staff couldn’t do more, experience overall 10/10

Have been once years ago and really enjoyed it. Decided to go with my husband when out shopping in Chelmsford. The owner was very friendly and talked us through some of there new items in their menu which was very helpful. We had a whole host of items but the buffalo wings were my favourite. The fries and halloumi starter also amazing. I spent the whole meal just saying how delicious it all was. Absolutely loved it. Best meal I’ve had in ages! We’ve already planned to go back next week.

Just had lunch here for my birthday and it was amazing! The owner and staff were so friendly and welcoming, the atmosphere was great and the food was spot on. I came with my 11 year old son, and husband and there was something for everyone. Will definitely be back, thank you!

Absolutely Banging…Deserves more than 5star

Good food - great flavours Good service - Daniel was a good server Nice atmosphere Very nice cocktails

Experienced Shwings for the first time during Wingfest 2021. Then a long overdue visit at their restaurant in Chelmsford. They have a unique vibe in the restaurant and would be great for getting together with friends and family. The owner will personally come over and check how things are and will crack a joke or two. Tuesday and Wednesdays you get unlimited wings for £15/£20 which is a bargain.

Amazing new menu!!! Loved the new flavours of wings! The service was fab - Daniel, Jonty and Harvey were very attentive!!!

Totally underwhelming, rubbish value chicken. Ordered 6 buffalo wings to take away and what arrived - £9 and 25mins later - was some shrivelled up, soggy wings wit some sort of gross sweet chilli sauce and a pot of sour cream/mayonnaise. I questioned the blue cheese and was told to “smell it” which I did and when I pointed out there was no smell, nor taste of blue cheese, told “well that’s how we do it”. Expectations weren’t high after a previously poor delivery order but assumed this was just because it was a delivery. A portion of £4 chips which were over cooked, crispy little dry bits of oil was the icing on the rubbish cake.

Been coming to shwings since they opened. They’ve always been great but feel like they only get better and better. Buffalo wings and the buffalo burger are must haves!! Blue cheese sauce is to die for.Our server Dan was brilliant talking my mum through gluten free options and even turning down the music slightly as she has noise sensitivity issues. Will definitely be back again soon!

The place looks great, selection of wings are great, only issue we’ve had is service can be slow even when we’re the only people in their but to make up for it the servers have us 2 portions rather than 1 to save the wait next time.

Thank you so much for a great evening last night, the manager was very friendly, helpful and recommended different flavours to try. There is so much choice,it was hard to choose. We regularly go to wingfest so will definitely be making a beeline for you guys next year. Excited to come back in October to try out the new menu. Frickles are a great side. Waitress forgot our smoothies but they did have a massive table of lads trying to all pay separately so I think she got distracted. Overall, a great experience. I wish we had a decent wing place like this in Kent!

We had 10 of us here and the food was unreal. All of us very happy with it, ate loads at a very reasonable price. The owner is also really lovely and clearly very passionate about what he does. Highly recommend it!

The vibe from this place even beats the shwinging 60’s. The food is fantastic, so many flavours, the service is banging🙂

Friends birthday, unlimited wings, banging flavours, wings just kept on coming - cold corona on tap, cannot ask for more...apart from a schwings cap! The governor even took the time to bring us a platter of the chefs new flavour to try out! Buffalo wings are 10/10. Honey and chilli are also a banger!

Good service, good food. Tips don’t go to the waitress when they’re paid on card. Shocking.

Really friendly service. We hadn’t been before and the waiter Dan didn’t rush through and was really patient explaining all the wings and specials etc . Food is amazing and the buffalo wings are a better taste here than pretty much anywhere else I’ve been to. I’d highly recommend . Cocktails were nice and priced fairly.

From Vicky at booking through to Abbie, Dan and Amin we were so well looked after. The service was amazing and such friendly staff. Everything arrived on time. The Black curry, Korean and buffalo wings were so tasty and cooked to perfection. Thanks to the chef. To top off the evening the music played was fantastic. All staff made us so welcome and explained everything on the menu. There was no rush to get out us of the door. We had family over form LA and they loved the food and the whole friendly ambience. Great night with great service from all the staff thanks

Visited with family having previously visited with work colleagues. Superb food, I loved the reaper wings! Superb service from Daniel and waitress ( sorry didn’t catch name) Would recommend 100% to anyone who loves chicken! Many different flavours, also the side dishes were delicious, Thanks for a great evening!

Popped in on a Wednesday night with a friend after going to the cinema. Between us we shared a trio wing platter, we went for the flavours SFC, mango and curry and honey and chilli (my favourite). My friends favourite was the SFC which is a new flavour on the menu. We shared two portions of fries which were also delicious. The atmosphere was lively and the music was great. The service was friendly and helpful. I will continue to return to Shwings!

I came in last Sunday and was served by Maya who was amazing! She was so sweet and lovely and it was her 3rd day at the restaurant and she was amazing! Food was outstanding and her service was on point! Well done Maya! X

We had a family get together booked, but due to a problem had to use your take away service. After a short wait the food arrived. I can honestly say that a Big Mac would have looked more presentable. The burger was oily and bun soaked in grease. The bacon chips were soggy and unappetising. MCD would have won hands down and for what you charged for it was criminal. Unfortunately I was not the only family member unimpressed. One chicken burger had a piece of chicken that was like an old boot, tough and overcooked. Plus again the bun was soaked in grease. The whole meal was very mediocre and for the price was a rip off. Six people who were very unimpressed.

Great as usual, very quiet though

Ordered 3 different wings but the flavours were hardly worth remembering. Before I start I will say the staff are very friendly but service was slow. It was dead in the restaurant but my wings took well over half hour. Now the flavours, just wasn’t enough to distinguish what I was having. The garlic Parmesan was prob the worst wings I’ve ever had. The texture was like it was boiled chicken and some Parmesan cheese thrown on top. Couldn’t taste the garlic. The satay wings were burnt and that’s all I could taste until I added the sauce which was more curry than peanut. I ordered a Diet Coke, Price was £2 something but got charged over £5, I soon realised they gave me a pint/large without asking me and that’s what I got charged for. Very sneaky. Overall, I wouldn’t return. Out of all the wing restaurants I’ve been too, this was the worst for food.

You love chicken n chips? Dont go anywhere else. Much nicer the nandos. Buffalo sauce is on point and so is the bbq. Fantastic service and when ever we go to chelmsford it the only place we'll eat.

Loved it...smashed the 3 plates deal as there was so much choice. Went with two chums so had a total if 9 plates and a side each. More than enough food and left with a doggy bag(box) Can't recommend what was best wing as each and every one was great. I shall return!!

It's says unlimited wings for up to 4 people £19 something So it's taken as that price for the group of 4 . (Everyone I have spoken to agrees ) I paid the bill but when I got home I checked it amd it £19 per person for unlimited wings.. This is totally unexcepable it should clearly state per person People who don't understand and who are disabled ( like myself) just get completely over charged without even realising

As always this place delivers fantastic wings we have been here several times and Mark runs this place to perfection . We love the honey and chilli wings they are the best and the buffalo wings are superb .

Ordered food through the shwings website, after over an hour of waiting for delivery, my gf called up the shop when she was basically told ‘not our problem’ call Deliveroo. Very poor customer service considering we didn’t order through Deliveroo so didn’t have an order number so I’m not sure how we could possibly locate our order, and it’s ridiculous that we should be expected to chase it anyway when they’ve clearly haven’t processed the order correctly.

Been there multiple times eat in/collections/deliveries. Always spot on, Keep up the good work !!

Really nice food. The chips were really nice. I also like the chicken burger too it was very filling. Ellie was a great server too

Amazing food and brought it out quickly. Ellie was super helpful and friendly. Buffalo is an elite flavour.

Went to Shwings for lunch with my sister and niece, very funky decor and great menu. We had a very nice lunch, trying three different flavours of wings and the loaded chips. service was excellent with a very helpful,and pleasant waitress. Food was freshly cooked...

Had a work lunch here last week. WHAT A PLACE. Everything was spot on, and we have all said we will definitely be back ! The owner was there and it was so good to see him so passionate about what he does and the food they serve. Honestly, you have to try this place.

Amazing food,best chicken wings and strips we’ve ever had.So much choice and the sides are lovely too.2 for 1 on cocktails on Friday evening. Attentive staff especially Vickiy and Cali. Music was so good too.

I recently visited shwings for my birthday last night with high hopes as I have loved coming here previously so was excited to return on my birthday, but unfortunately, my experience left much to be desired. Not only were we overcharged, but the staff's refusal to rectify the situation added to my disappointment. I’m not here to get a discount or free meal but to show there was a lack of communication and resolution to my experience with management. As a returning customer I was excited to go here as a celebration and take my dad. We have been multiple times and never had issues before. The restaurant was busy for a Tuesday night and that was great to see, the service was slow however the manager came and explained there was staff absent and sat at our table to take the order after a waiting for a while, I’m assuming this was the owner after explaining the absences. Shwings do an unlimited night where you can pick between a classic and special menu and they bring you wings from the chosen. The waiter took our orders himself and we chose to have one of each. As I received the bill, I immediately noticed that the total amount was higher than anticipated. Confused we approached the cashier to ask for clarification. We had order one classic unlimited wings and one special. I politely pointed out the discrepancy, hoping for a simple resolution. That they would change this to what we had ordered with the manager at our table, unfortunately the attempt to resolve the issue was met with resistance and from the staff. The member of staff called her manage who denied remembering what we had ordered after sitting at the table and ordering for us. Again just to clarify we didn’t/don’t want to get a free meal or discount just disappointed that the manager wouldn’t have explained this to us as he was sitting on the table taking the order. Despite explaining the mistake the staff refused to rectify the situation as the manager had instructed on the phone. This was a shame as if this was explained before we could have chosen accordingly but was made to be our fault and the error was not acknowledged. In addition the flavors were very decent, the wings were small and not too crispy in texture however your getting unlimited so it’s not an issue. We had 5 portions of wings each all 5 classic flavours and 5 off the special menu. Not 16 as plates as stated below. Ultimately, my recent experience at shwings was marred by the overcharging issue and the staff's refusal to rectify the situation. While the flavors of the wings were good , the customer service of resolving the issue was underwhelming. Hopefully, the management of shwings takes these concern on board and works towards improving customer service and explaining clearly the “rules” that he has set out.

Great wings, amazing ambiance and an owner who is passionate about his food. Thanks Mark and team. Service with a smile.

This place is banging!!, we had a taste of some of the new flavours and they were amazing, black curry and chilli and honey were so good, I highly recommend!!!

Ellie was a lovely host who was very attentive, the Korean Hot wings were especially good. We will definitely come again :)

Avoid the buffet, just doesn’t work, you will end up leaving more hungry.

Best wing restaurant around. Really friendly owner and staff too.

Stumbled accros this place whilst searching for "Halal" after the cricket at Essex County Cricket Ground. All the chicken in Shwings is halal. There are some really creative flavourful chicken wing dishes on the menu. Interesting stuff. I had the mango chicken curry burger. Sounded good, but lacked in flavour. There were actual real mango pieces in the burger, but would be better with a sweet mango chutney instead as it just tasted like nothing. Was a good experience and great venue and customer service. Shame there was a service charge for a takeaway! Left a sour taste when it came to paying.

Good selection of chicken, from the plain to the spicy. The dirty fries are not worth it though avoid. Cocktails well worth it, and all you can eat on Tuesdays and Wednesdays

Sorry but tho the staff were very friendly the food wasn't as nice as it looked . Chicken was chewy, garlic over powered the starters , first visit and last. Wish them well, but proprietor needs to make chief changes I think .

Went for 1st time today. Served by Annabelle. Very impressed. Will definitely be going back. Super service

Will definitely be going back very up beat place great service nice chilled evening with friends

Hubby kept talking about this nice place called Shwings, and trust me, it was all worth the trial 😉 have you ever had a really juicy and nicely sauced chicken? Yummy 😋. The only eyebrow raiser was having just one person take orders,serve,answer the phone,respond to delivery guys, and be responsible for cleaning up there by making the service slower than should be. PS: They did loose at least 4 customers because the waiter had his hands pretty full. Generally, the restaurant was also well laid out nicely, and it's instagrammable. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming, and the food was served with a Love and laughs I do recommend Shwings to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience in Chelmsford. I will be back for the Spicest wings🤣

Been meaning to come here for ages and was really disappointed by the wings; tasteless with chewy skin drowned in an overly sweet sauce. And this was supposed to be their standard shwing wings. Not cheap either, and they charged extra for bbq sauce :(

Independent high quality chicken restaurant. The wings are superior to any other chain in Chelmsford and there is a good vibe and music, plus you can smash a beer or 2 back which most chicken places lack. Good variety of sauces, great sides, I found the service top notch.

The service Dan gave us was top tier, checking every now and then if we are good, the food was delicious. Definitely coming back.

I enjoyed the serviceof Vicky. They’re all welcoming and polite. The meals are amazing as well. Good try definitely…..

Lovely food And without doubt the best looking most mesmerising barmaid this side of the Atlantic

The staff was courteous and well mannered. BUT, the honey jalapenos burger was dreadful despite being the most expensive on the menu. It was covered in a black sauce that made the bun soggy. Such an overpowering, disgusting sauce which left an awful aftertaste. Do NOT waste your money on this burger.

Great quality food. Friendly lovely staff. Daniel helped make it a great evening for my brother's stag meal. Couldn't ask for a nicer place to hold a special occasion. Will visit lots more. Great value too!

As per we had a wonderful meal at shwings!! Well looked after lovely for veggies and carnis, Daniel and the team looked after us as always. Thank you shwings! X

As always great food great service. Fantastic range of wings for that cater for all. Oreo milkshake was one of the best i've had.

Had lunch here with my Sister today. We both had the Buffalo Chicken Burger with fries and cocktails. The food and drinks were both excellent. The burgers were delicious and so tasty. We were served by Vicky who was really friendly and helpful. A lovely...

Great food, bbq wings was spot on, service was brilliant….good price….over all great experience……..:

Variety of wings is always exceptional and the Buffalo ones are to die for! Excellent service from Annabell our waitress and Dan (who remembered us from last visit). It's exceptional service like this which makes me want to come back again and again! Thanks guys

Excellent food (buffalo wings and Mexican loaded fries are epic) and great service from Annabelle and Dan as ever. Highly recommend a visit

Absolute joke. Feel like I've had my pants pulled down. Could have made better with dog meat! State of it. 2 raspberries made my day. That's £9 worth of anemic wings right there by the way.

We’d wanted to try this place for ages, ordered a takeaway this evening and could not be more disappointed. Since moving to Chelmsford from London we’ve tried to find authentic Korean Fried Chicken everywhere to no avail, so when I saw the supposedly 10/10 rated...

Fantastic food. The Korean wings were brilliant. Would have given 5*'s if they had more alcohol free drinks options. Was disappointed to see no alcohol free/low alcohol beers available.

Daniel was an excellent server who made us feel at home. The smokey jalapeño wings were especially delicious

Service charge was automatically added to the bill, I'm usually happy to pay this if restaurants are upfront about the charge. I went to pay the bill and was asked for a tip. I queried this as service charge was already on the bill. The...

It’s a cool restaurant and staff were incredibly accommodating and friendly. Drinks were delicious, especially the extra large ones! Food was disappointing, chicken was okay but the sauces were too much and flavours not very nice. Would not recommend loaded fries either. Will be back...
