The Compasses in Chelmsford

Not sure why it doesn't have a star rating for the coffee but... Staff were lovely and the atmosphere was good but the oat latte coffee was probably the worst I've ever had. I don't like strong coffee but this one didn't taste of coffee at all it was so very weak. Real shame as I like it in here.

Really disappointed, have been here a number of times, and had good fish and chips, but today was terrible, it was oven chips and cod. Not what it used to be and won’t be going back.

Fantastic dinner from here. Super fast service and nice food.

Went there for new year to watch a family friend DJ, I was met by a Peter stringfellow wanna be who claimed he was the landlord and refused us entry claiming it was full to capacity. This male was not polite and virtually pushed me of the step by puffing up his chest and putting his hand up. I get it if it was full to capacity, however we were sat down the road and he let others in, so obviously he was showing off to other outside by bullying four females. Would never return.

We stopped for a quick coffee and something to eat. I asked for a lemon muffin. The young man behind the counter said they didn't have any in stock. He looked like he wasn't really interested and was in autopilot. We had our coffee and as we were about to leave I noticed that they were fully stocked with muffins. Not the end of the world, but wasn't the most helpful service that day.
