Friendly welcoming environment, helpful staff ,great food and cheap well worth the money, I had steak and ale pie it was large full of meat and lovely gravy creamy mashed potato and a good portion of peas, I had cheesecake for desert and it was divine, throughout the meal the staff ask us if everything was OK, and was there anything we wanted, after the meal they cleared our table, and when it was time to leave they said goodbye I hope you enjoyed your meal, we said, yes it was excellent the food and the service, from now on we will go there all the time you can't beat it, a great experience

We were served by a lovely lady named Trish who despite being rushed off her feet gave fantastic service. She took her time making sure our food and drinks order was correct by reading everything back to us and apologised for the wait (she was the only one serving at the time) anyone else could be flustered and panicked by the queue of people, but she was absolutely brilliant. The food came out in good time and was nice and hot and well cooked. Fantastic value for money. Will be coming back again!

Breakfast with Santa 🧑‍🎄 wow what a special event, the staff went above and beyond to put this on, with special visitors: Santa and the Grinch. On arrival we were greeted to our table, which had goodie bags for the children, Christmas crackers and was beautifully laid out. We had a lovely cooked breakfast and interactions with the characters. There was a table set up with biscuit decorating, drawing and colouring- which the kids loved! What a lovely special touch. The kids had an amazing time, as did us! Would really recommend and will certainly come back with the family for food, aswell as attend another event. Well run, organised and very friendly atmosphere! Thank you! 🤩

Another brilliant morning at The Flyer breakfast with Santa and the Grinch. Even more craft activities for the kids than last year, we had a fantastic time and the kids were entertained plenty. Selection boxes and a goodie bag were provided for the kids as well as 'make your own bauble' and 'biscuit decorating'. The food is cheap and the menu for breakfast with Santa had plenty enough options. Highly recommend booking here if you haven't already.

One of the worst pubs for lunch ever going. Situation next to a supermarket and no other competition and in theory should be the same as other green king pubs that I have visited but no pub dead at 11:35 and no other competition around it would be trying to bring in customers but no and being told we can’t even take food orders for food until midday when they are allowed to start putting it through the tills as they are timed even 2 minutes before so had to buy drinks first and then go back to till after dropping off drinks you can work off the food here before getting your meals. Which is stupid even child food and snacks so brought crisps not idea. No offence maybe this is why the pub is empty and with the current climate in pub trade where pubs are closing at such a huge rate they should be more flexible. Staff member seems to be good at his job however it was kind of him saying I will put your meals through first but that is not the point.

0 stars weren't an option. Garden littered with fag butts, broken glass and clearly has never been cleaned. Men urinating as they didn't have the required waders to use the toilets. Which were over flowing in filthy water and urine (but still signed as adequate by staff). Kitchen hardly ever open, when it is if 3 people order food they can't cope so close it. If your lucky enough to get food it really is not worth the wait. If you want to order food or a drink make sure your wearing comfortable shoes as you will be stood waiting for 20 minutes of other people have been as crazy as you to go to this pub. There is 3 nice people who work here but it doesn't compensate for the disgraceful non existent manager, poor planning, inadequate staffing and unsanitary facilities and unclean environment. A total disgrace to green king.

It was cooked perfectly. The service was polite friendly and extremely helpful. They could not do enough for us. They were particularly accommodating to our members in a wheelchair and provided special dishes for those with food allergies at very short notice. All this for a fantastic price too! We will definitely be back next year and many of the members will be back throughout the year. Well done!!

People were walking out all over the place and the list of things not available was huge!! It included lemon for drinks ffs!! I first went to this pub 3years ago , it was reasonable , right now it has nothing to recommend it. My advice, save your money and go else where . This hungry horse desreves to die!

We popped into the recently refurbished flyer hungry horse for something to eat last week. I ordered our food then asked for a pint of coke and a lime and soda. Well when I was asked if I wanted ice I said no thanks as it's chilled enough out the pump plus you always lose out as the ice really cuts down your amount of coke. Well when I was given the pint of coke only 2 thirds full I said is that a pint looking a little strange at the bar man. Yes it's a measure because you didn't have ice so it's going to be short. I scratched my head and complained and said ice is free so please fill my glass up to a pint. No he wasn't going to and said that's the measure we are told to give sorry. Well I won't be visiting the green king chains anymore so that's just cost them at least £600 per year for starters plus I am sending round to all my friends and colleagues pictures of what I have experienced. This has not happened anywhere else in Chelmsford I have been to. One really unhappy customer for a couple of mouthfulls of tap cheap coke.

Visited this evening for dinner, we come here atleast once a month for dinner and have never had any problems until now. We arrived and we sat down straight away which was a good start, we then ordered our food. On arrival it seemed there was a shortage of sausages for the mixed grill. We was not told this in advance and then upon arrival it was mentioned and then dismissed. Once we questioned what was going to be a solution to this- the waitress then offered more food to be cooked. We then asked for a discount off of the meal as otherwise our meals would be finished during the extra cooking process. Aswell as this, the trio of chicken was missing its corn on the cob and coleslaw which was then made up 5 minutes after. All our food was burnt and overcooked- burger, chicken etc. We was then told we could not have a discount off our meal and a free dessert was offered which was fine. After our meal we approached the bar to be told our plates will be cleared and we could order. Over 30 minutes later our plates was cleared, which seemed crazy as other tables who arrived and ate later than us got seen to first to clear away. After the dessert came we then paid our tab and left. Overall really disappointed with the food and service. The waitress and bar staff just didn’t seem to want to be there , and had no customer service skills at all, everything felt like a real effort which is a real shame as we regularly pop in for a drink or dinner now and then.

Paid £6.99 for a salad topped with steak. Salad was meant to include shredded vegetables. Didn't find any. Steak was so tough, it wasn't edible. When asked by the waitress if everything was OK, I said my steak was too tough to eat. There was no apology, offer of a replacement meal, or a refund. The manager just kept his head down and ignored us. Just wonder if he would be satisfied to pay for a meal he couldn't eat! Won't be going back.

Popped in here after shopping next door in Morrisons. Only one very flustered member of staff on duty, staff sickness was to blame so I ordered drinks and settled down to see if things would change. When I tried to order food, she told me 'no fish', it was still frozen as it only arrived in the morning.We didn't bother to stop as another group arrived with push chairs and the lady in charge wad organising them into the small restaurant.Not a place to visit, probably better in the evenings when the supermarket is closed.

We decided to visit The Flyer as we had visited the hungry horse at another location on numerous occasions and found it to be very reliable. Arrived at 12:15pm. There were 10 of us, 5 adults and 5 children aged between 18 months to 12 years. We all sat on one table but placed 3 separate orders one after the other so we could pay separately. 2 of our party had starters which came out relatively quickly so all started well. It was half-term so the pub was filling up slowly. After 30 minutes, staff had not returned to our table to clear the starters plates away. The younger children were becoming restless as mains were not with us. 40 minutes passed and we questioned what the delay was and were told 'we're very busy'. Granted, yes, but large parties entering and ordering after us had already received their food. 50 minutes had now passed and 4 of our party received their meals. 10 minutes later, another 3 mains were bought to the table. We questioned again where the remaining 3 meals were (2 of which being childrens) and were told other orders had been placed in between ours causing the delay. Finally, after an hour and half after ordering, the 3 remaining mains came out!!! The pizza one of the younger children had was clearly a 3 minute microwavable pizza which was overdone around the edges. A member of our party found a long hair entwined in his chicken burger!! The young waitress took the food away without apologising and asked if we would lke a fresh onw cooked!! Seeing it had taken an hour to get that one no thank you!!! We expressed our frustration at the length it had taken for the food to come out and now the found hair and asked for some money to be refunded back to us. The waitress came back and stated ' the manager says we are unable to refund you anything at this time'.We asked to speak to the manager who from the time we entered had a face like she'd eaten a bunch of sour grapes. We again explained what an appalling service we had experienced and she said ' well its half term and I only have one chef'. That's not the customers problem!! She stated that she could not refund us but could offer free desserts. We said that we would be giving a poor review. Her response?? ' we expect some bad reviews' !!!! Great attitude!!! Free desserts didn't make up for the disappointment and the fact that the food was of such poor quality, most of us were still hungry and one of our party who was going off to work after the meal even popped next door to Morrisons to buy himself a sandwich!!! Some of the party took up the offer of desserts but again disappointed. The millionaire cheesecake looked nice but was luke warm instead of chilled so we decided not to eat it for fear of being unwell!!Extremely disappointed at the lack of customer service and the 'oh well' attitude of staff. Safe to say it ruined a family get together and we certainly won't be returning or recommending!!

Food came out not what i ordered, sent it back, my steak came back with a supposed New York topper which had no bbq sauce a slice of burger cheese on top they dont mind charging you for it, then my supposedly warm fudge cake came back as cold as the chips on my main meal lol, nice young fellas behind the bar very apologetic, not one sorry from the assistant manager who walks round with a face like a bag of spanners, if you are going to give the pub a facelift make sure the food is up to par, never ever will i visit again, I have eaten here quite a few times in the past

Have always enjoyed a visit to The Flyer, either for a quick treat of family celebration. The staff a very welcoming and the new setup works for us with young children as there is no need to pass through the saloon bar for the WC! The food is, as always, good value for money and tasty.

We meet regularly here and enjoy the food and the service. The recent refurb seems to have unsettled the momentum though.Service was slow today but the food was still good value.

....as the Manager was back! Pleased to say the experience was much better than the last. It was clean, food hot and the new menu had some lovely additions (The Bacon Popcorn is soooooo good!!!) I see that it will shutting for a refurb in November which is needed, it does look tired but if its clean, offers good service and value it can be overlooked.

I have been coming here regularly and enjoy it.This is a hungry horse pub that sells food as well as has a bar where regulars chat away and create a great atmosphere. The people that run the bar are very friendly . There is a pool table and plenty of big screens to watch any sports that you are interested i in.Drinks are very reasonably priced .If you happen to be in this part of Chelmsford I would definitely recommend. They have a seated food area which has a bar and all tables have a mini screen so you can watch whatever is on the main screen. There is also a bar area where locals congregate but within this area there are also tables where people can order and get food served at their table.

This happens to be our local,We do enjoy the food... It's just a shame it may take a few weeks to arrive! And may have half the food missing...Busy Saturday with all tables full and there's only one person taking orders and one serving drinks.

Quick service, nice enough staff with the food being fairly enjoyable but nothing outstanding. It has nice surroundings and can be a good venue for some nice, easy dinner.

Como nuestro local solía ser el sitio al que ir por su buena relación calidad-precio, comida sabrosa, con un gran servicio, pero ahora tengo que estar de acuerdo con la estrella de la tarde 1 comentarios. El servicio es terrible, la mujer detrás de la barra no querían estar allí. La calidad de la comida es mala, la carne es ahora más duro y grasa y cartílago de carne y a los lados de un frío y duro y grasiento. No es limpio (Mesas pegajosa) y la loos. . . . La última vez, estaba claro que en noches anteriores vómitos, no lo habían limpiado correctamente. Nuestra última visita fue unas semanas atrás y había una hora de esperar por la comida y un montón no disponible!Espero con hambre y el manejo de caballos, tome nota de estos comentarios y buscar hacer mejoras, este lugar puede volver a cómo era y espero que no, pero hasta entonces no se podrá visitar o recomendar como solíamos.

Nuestro hijo pidió la hamburguesa más increíble llamado, divertidamente, Waffl - icious! No hace falta decir que él era un desastre pegajoso por el tiempo que le dio en el Burger monstruoso. Su única crítica fue que los gofres, podría haber sido más suave. Mi desayuno durante todo el día era increíble, más de lo que solemos comer en una sentada y no me podía quejar. Todo estaba delicioso. Mi marido disfrutó de una hamburguesa clásica y nuestro hijo menor, eres exigente con la comida, tenía una porción gigante de alas de pollo, que ella esté lleno, sin queja. Teníamos extra lados - col, patatas fritas y aros de cebolla y, para ser sinceros, probablemente se podría pedir menos! En general, una experiencia agradable.10 de 10!

Una buena "barato n alegre "pub con comida que era caliente y sabrosa y fresca. Las raciones eran buenas. La comida en realidad superó nuestras expectativas, especialmente el pastel de carne con cerveza que sabían muy casero y estaba lleno de carne. una pena que mimado un poco por "olvidarse" nuestro pedido de postre y mantenernos esperando 50 minutos.

Restaurante & Pub bien, completo menú, sin patatas asadas en el menú semana asado. Pedimos salchichas y puré de patatas, tres grandes salchichas aburrido, un montón de puré de cebolla chutney dulce pero demasiado para mi gusto. Precio barato, pero un entorno ruidoso con televisores y voces de fondo. El servicio era bueno y el personal cortés, la comida llegó rápidamente y caliente.

Nuestro único local (a poca distancia). . . utilizada para disfrutar de una bebida y una comida en el Flyer hace unos dos años. . . Lo que ha sucedido?. ? ? Metimos en una comida la semana pasada, ya que ambos caballos muy hambriento, sabíamos que íbamos a conseguir grandes comidas allí. El lugar estaba bastante concurrido y esperé unos 10 minutos en el bar para pedir nuestra comida, como sólo había una persona que sirve. Muy abrupto y triste señora. Esperamos casi una hora para la comida, mientras que la observación de una familia exigente su dinero ya que no quería esperar más, y una familia con un niño discapacitado, que servían dos platos de pollo cocinado, y bajo pedido un reembolso. Oímos decir que ellos ni siquiera conseguir una disculpa! Finalmente llegamos, que la comida estaba bien, pero los guisantes y las patatas fritas eran duras. Tuve que unos murciélagos vuela mientras come y me di cuenta de que la gente había terminado y desaparecido, y no una mesa había sido despejada, atrayendo a las moscas a todas las sobras (era un día muy caluroso). Volver nunca sobra decir, y pobre personal (especialmente el chef) y gestión es una política! No iba a poner este comentario aquí, como ya he quejado directamente a caballo de hambre, pero como no dan tanto como un reconocimiento o una disculpa, es venir a este.

Estado aquí unas cuantas veces y aunque es más un abrevadero la comida es buena para comer barato. El personal es atento, educado y muy bueno. Hemos estado en el otro caballo y hambre en chelsmford aunque es más grande y más de un familiar, el servicio es una porquería.

Lo siento por la falta de personal del bar que están tratando de ayudar no sólo al cliente local, sino también el cliente que quiera comer. 1 camarera en y el gerente de estar en la oficina mientras ella está luchando para manejar 2 cajas. Los clientes se están convirtiendo en aburrido de esperar para una bebida.Gestión senior pub necesita a repensar su futuro en el flyer, ya que hay un buen montón de gente que están dejando pasar.

Llevé a los niños allí para una comida de cumpleaños. He estado allí unas cuantas veces y cada vez que el servicio ha ido a peor. Estaba lleno de hoy, para cuando le preguntamos si había una mesa disponible nos preguntó cortante" libro? ". . A pesar de que nos dijeron. Este previamente que no puedes reservar una mesa. (aparentemente puede como mesas estaban reservadas hoy)comida y bebidas, siendo ordenados por alguien que sirve claramente no quería estar allí. Fue un trabajo duro.Cubiertos a la mesa, de los cuales la mayoría era sucio, las copas para la jarra de agua que tuvimos fueron también sucio. Cuando pedimos cubiertos limpios tenemos bien pedimos la comida para ser libre, dado el aspecto que nos dieron.Para ser sincero, la comida llegó rápidamente y era muy buena y una buena relación calidad-precio, pero por desgracia es eclipsado por la pobre servicio y estándares del pub. Los baños son sucios y malolientes, no había papel higiénico. Mesas, vasos y cubiertos están sucios.Parece que la cadena "elements" (comida y precios) son geniales, pero el resto de personal y estándares (el frente)

He vivido cerca de este lugar por muchos años y he comido aquí en numerosas ocasiones. Durante los últimos dos años la comida y el servicio se ha deteriorado alarmantemente. Siempre me impresionó el bistec, pero hemos dejado de pedir, después de carne dura en tres en tres visitas. Por lo tanto pedimos pescado o gambas como cualquiera que tenga dificultad en jaleo! Mis amigos han hecho lo mismo.Última noche de viernes fui con un viejo amigo. Pedí el scampi para estar seguros. Mi amigo pedimos bistec. El servicio era pésimo y tardaron años para pedir comida y bebida. Cuando llegamos al final de la comida y la comida eran dos placas de frío,carne estaba dura como de costumbre.Cuando esto se menciona al personal que ni siquiera se disculpó.Nunca comer aquí de nuevo a menos que alguien a quién le importa el servicio al cliente.

La comida y las bebidas son baratas y, probablemente, una buena relación calidad-precio.Sin embargo, no esperes que te dieron lo que pedí. Pedí un queso y mayonesa atún sub liberar. Me dieron mi comida (sin que nos dijeron que no había baguettes sub) y me dieron una sin fundir, sándwich frío rancio.

We had booked a table for 7 at 12.30 on 25th Feb for my husbands birthday, when we went to order at around one we were told the chef wasnt ready and that some one would come and take our order in about 10 mins, no one came so we went up with our order, out of the seven orders they didnt have four of them so we rechose only to be told they didnt have them either, the staff were rude, my husband is diabetic so has to eat regularly so this delay wasnt helping matters. We were so fed up with the way we were treated we looked online for a nearby alternative and fortunately found a much nicer and friendly pub we finally sat down to eat at around 2.30!

Yo, mi pareja y 3 niños visitamos un domingo por la tarde para comer un bocado. Como yo trabajo en la industria de la hospitalidad, yo sé que el "servicio básico" al cliente no es mucho esperar. La chica detrás de la barra podría sonreír y sirve que ella estaría en otro sitio. Pedimos carne, hamburguesas y salchichas y puré. . . . En realidad fue muy bueno, sin embargo cuando pedí una recogida de dientes de la camarera, menos de feliz me dijeron "no lo siento no tengo ninguno! "Entonces un miembro superior del personal que buscan dijo "no no tengo ninguna". "No pensamos que su actitud exigente" era bastante desagradable. Entonces cuando le pedimos una camarera amablemente por una copa, ella respondió "tienes que pedir en el bar", así que nos fuimos al bar y esperamos por al menos 10 minutos a ser incluso reconocido aunque yo era el único allí! En el pasado he comido aquí, ya que es genial para los niños y la comida es estupenda relación calidad-precio, pero no creo que deberían cortar las esquinas cuando se trata de amabilidad y buen servicio al cliente. Un poco de capacitación de personal iría a miss

My mother-in-law's wake was held here with a buffet. It was to be remembered for the wrong reasons. My wife had to bring her dog because we live quite a way from Chelmsford. It was in a bag as it is a very small dog, an Affenpinscher to be precise (3 kilos of fur). There were no signs on the doors saying "No Dogs". The dog was in the pub for over an hour, when my wife took it out for a break and walked it back in the landlord said that his license was at risk because he served food. This was a private function for my wife's mother's wake and even when others tried to persuade him to allow the little dog to stay, he refused again, leaving my wife to have to sit outside in the cold and therefore unable to mix with friends and relatives at a very sad time for her having just lost her mother.10/10 for jobsworth insensitiveness.
