The Compasses in Chelmsford

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.

Really an Aussie Bar!!!!... lets be honest.....not a wiff of a bbq, INXS, croc, koala, roo, hat with corks, Crocodile Dundee or an Aussie flag anywhere...really a bit of a fraud....only flags showing are of football clubs,.... with respect no wonder its empty on a Friday night.....its a great big bar, but make it 'Australian' themed, staff dressed in green/gold (staff were brill)......ohh, they also sell Fosters, another reason why its empty 🤬🤬🤬🤬

Never recieved it so not sure what to give a review on

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.

went to a costa coffe as I had some in app offers. No queue 11 am Saturday morning - however as per many Costa coffees, some empty tables, all dirty with cups and rubbish on so played find a clean table and then when we did, all the chairs are stained and dirty. This wouldn’t be tolerated in the works canteen and I don’t understand how this is accepted in a premium brand on the high street. This seems typical of most Costa’s these days.
