The Hub Farm Shop & Light Bites in Chelmsford

Introduced through word of mouth to this fabulous little gem and we weren't disappointed. We had the 3 meat Sunday roast platter and it was superb, the staff were fantastic and so friendly. Can't wait to go back, loved it, thank you

Lovely breakfast. The food & service was excellent. All the staff were very attentive & friendly. Will definitely be back.

Decided to meet family for breakfast, not a good start as 6 adults expected to sit on thin benches, very squashed, and uncomfortable, My coffee arrived and was cold. . I had to ask for it to be warmed up.!!! I had the big breakfast , nice quality produce but my egg yolk was hard. Others had the breakfast wrap and said the wrap was very greasy. There are plenty of other places to get a good breakfast, so unfortunately will not return

We tried the tapas evening and really enjoyed the food , service and vibe. Will definitely visit again and try food off the main menu

We had a Sunday roast lunch here last week, our first time at The Hub and it didn’t disappoint. The food was amazing, the service was personable and the cost was reasonable. We all really enjoyed our food, the atmosphere and will definitely be back!

Attended an event where we got to experience The Hub’s outside catering (always been impressed with the eat in options). Not surprisingly, the food and hosting was excellent … a great choice of food and great quality (salt and pepper squid with dip was amazing !). A great evening matched with great food. 👏🏻

Staff and food were amazing everyone was helpful..it was our first visit we will definitely be back to try a theme night or Sunday lunch

My friend and I went for the Hot Rock night about a fortnight ago on a Friday night - really good. Perfect amount of food and excellent service. We will definitely return for one of these evenings.

My wife and I usually go for lunch on a Saturday but we decided on a Friday night dinner. Again the quality of food was excellent and the staff are friendly and welcoming.

I’ve now visited several times and no words can describe an experience beyond beautiful . The team behind this wonderful establishment just go way and beyond love and laughter . Salmon , the scrambled egg and said of smashed avocado was amazing . My husband sported the full stack . It was huge . Every staff member loves and greet you like your their family . Nothing is trouble . We will see you soon . Lots of kindness . X x

As we entered it was a little chaotic, we sat down at a table with no booked or reserved sign, when I got up to look at cakes we were questioned about sitting at a table and not booking - we were allowed to stay as no one had booked it. We ordered from a tiny selection of 4 cakes, the blondie was nice, the brownie was horrible. After 35 minutes, the (owner? Or manager?) came over and made out we couldn’t havent the table anymore and it had been booked and we had to pay and leave. We’d finished eating but were going to order another drink and couldn’t - that was definitely a lie to get the table back for more custom. Overall the vibe was appalling, treatment of us wasn’t great, food selection was below average and we’d never return to somewhere we feel were blunt to us and had lied about the table.

Ordered lunch platters to take away for a business meeting. Was a great assortment of sandwiches, sausage rolls, crisps and cakes. The platters looked and tasted amazing, will definitely be back.

Today I visited the hub farm shop , my son told me the food was good . The restaurant is excellent the customer service from Ruth and her staff is 5 star and the quality and presentation of food was above and beyond my expectations. I will be a regular with my family

Thank you Ruth, Lewis, Georgia and the team for such a delicious Sunday roast platter! We've been for breakfasts and dinners before, this was our first Sunday lunch, and it did not disappoint, it was really tasty with very generous servings. We were really looked after by all the staff. Thoroughly enjoyable! Thanks again!

Lovely burger from their "Late night food" menu. The Hub serves fantastic breakfasts and brunches. It is great having such a lovely restaurant and farm shop on so close by.

Superb Sunday roast and excellent friendly service. Beef was beautifully tender. Veggie and roasties flavourful and chrispy. Big yorkshire ✔️✔️✔️

Food was wonderful! Friendly staff and lovely farm shop attached!! Very varied menu and a specials board which was difficult to choose from!

Lovely little Gem of a place well done. The Hub definitely on my favourites list Carry on doing what you are doing

Absolutely fantastic roast platter. I don’t know of anywhere better. Great atmosphere and really lovely, friendly staff. Nothing is too much trouble. Can’t wait to return!

Had a ‘plate’ (rather than the platter) roast on Sunday … more than enough for us and sooo tasty. It isn’t just the food at this place … it’s the whole atmosphere and the staff … so welcoming !! I’ve said it before, but this...

The Hub never disappoints and our Christmas family Sunday roast was sensational. We normally travel in to London at Christmas but not this year, and why would we when food of this quality is available locally? Fabulous choice of roasts with all the trimmings and...

Lovely atmosphere, amazing food very friendly staff in very high quality food/service ! We loved our Christmas meal, very highly recommended

Staff extremely friendly, food fantastic couldn’t recommend more! Taken a goody bag home for some bubble later!

Best Sunday Roast, went for Sunday Lunch and had the most Tremendous Roast ever. Delicious. 5 Stars

Love the hub, great staff, great food, nice relaxing vibes every time. Cant rate it enough. If you live in dunmow, felsted or chelmsford this is a must! Also worth asking about their themed nights, as these are great too!

I highly recommend this yummy eatery! Everyone is very friendly and the food is delicious. Breakfasts are divine and the evening meal take aways are really tasty.

Such a lovely night at the hub last night. Warm and friendly staff. Atmosphere was very relaxed. I am on the low fodmap diet and had phoned a few weeks ahead to see if they could cater for me. The service I received was amazing....

Huge turkey, pork and beef Sunday lunch platter for four. It was very tasty but we ended up bringing some of it home to make bubble and squeak. Very good service and a lively atmosphere.

Superb Sunday Lunch Great food, friendly service, good atmosphere. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will return.

Went for a little Sunday afternoon roast lunch with my wonderful wife. Great choice of roasts, we had tbe turkey plate, followed by the biscoff bread and butter pudding. They were all well prepared and cooked to perfection. We will be coming again.

My husband and I went for a Sunday breakfast and it was delicious. All of the staff were so welcoming and we were looked after well. Such a lovely place and I recommend it with 5+ ⭐️

Ruth and her team are, put simply, brilliant. The Hub is a welcoming and family-friendly café/restaurant, which I gladly frequent with my Wife and Daughter. The food is sensibly priced and the quality is great, as is the service. Keep up the fantastic work!

We popped in for a bit of lunch and the staff were so lovely and accommodating, especially given we had our 3 week old daughter with us. The steak sandwich and dipping sauce was one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had! Delicious.

Always good food and service at The Hub and exceptional value too. A hidden gem and would recommend to all wanting, brunch, lunch, a roast or some of their evening specials!

Having visited for breakfast and lunch on separate occasions, we thought we would try the Sunday lunch. Food, service and wine were excellent. Highly recommend a visit.

Amazing roast dinner, the best in Essex! Lovely place to come for a family Sunday lunch. Friendly staff and a cosy atmosphere, can’t wait to come back again!

First time visiting the hub, and what a shame I haven’t found this gem sooner. Everything was exceptional, will be back!

We ent for Sunday lunch - it was the best roast we have had for years -tender pink beef, crispy potatoes, an excellent selection of vegetables and a delicious large Yorkshire pudding - thank you Ruth!

There's nothing on the menu that isn't excellent, the staff is friendly and inviting, atmosphere is prefect for a light meal and a good chat.
