The Quart Pot in Chelmsford

Lovely pub, especially when the sun is out!

Great food, decent service and atmosphere. Good pub quiz but does go on a bit, could do with a little speeding up and perhaps quicker marking of it. Well over two hours from start to finish! Other than that, all good!

Been here a few times to eat and highly recommend the food. Sunday roast was fantastic. Nice friendly staff and feel good pub.

Food was incredible and such a lovely setting. Can't wait to come back and enjoy the garden

Menu looks great with plenty of offers and specials. Good selection of beers and drinks. Open late. Big car park. Big beer garden. Nice pub

Had a love meal out with husband, had a virgin experience meal, Sarah and Denise were very helpful and friendly, Food was amazing, lovely evening.

Nice homely pub/ restaurant good food and drink pleasantly served

Lovely pub with great food and very friendly, helpful service from Denise & Ryan. The pub is also wheelchair-friendly with an accessible toilet and caring staff.

Good meal and friendly efficient staff with a positive atmosphere.

Booked a table for me and friends to practice our BSL ( we meet up once a month to do this also - second Monday of the month!) staff were very helpful and friendly, even waiting to now learn some BSL themselves. Can't wait to come back! Dog friendly too which is always a bonus!

Took my parents out for lunch at their local pub (Quart Pot) as a belated Birthday celebration for my dads 80th Birthday. A very warm welcome by Staff. The food and drink was excellent. The time for the food to arrive was super quick. Denise took very good care of us. She is a credit to this place. Highly recommended and will definitely come back 🤗

The best pub in Wickford, dog friendly, the staff are amazing, Denise and Ryan are really friendly, would highly recommend.

Visited the Quart Pot today for the first time to celebrate my daughters birthday with my family. Lovely welcome fabulous service and real tasty food. Decor was cosy and comfortable smashing atmosphere. So relaxing and chilled. Definitely recommend this lovely Pu luc House

Awful awful awful! Do not waste your money. The roast was the worse I’ve ever had! Rock hard potatoes the parsnips you couldn’t cut and the gravy was glup you couldn’t possible pour it just spooned on it was like jelly, the cauliflower cheese was not cauliflower cheese it was a bit of cauliflower with melted cheese on it we literally sat down at 1.45 dinner was was brought out at 1.50 we left at 2pm £50 worse off. We will never go there again.

Amazing trip to the Quart Pot tonight. Lovely food and friendly staff. Enjoyed my pint too. Thank you

We had a wonderful Christmas Day lunch at the Quart Pot, the food was great, the atmosphere was festive and calm, and the staff were fantastic throughout!

I had to arrange a wake for my father and as the funeral was at St. Mary's church, called the Quart pot regarding the wake. I was met with a compassionate response from the start. The contacts were always the same. We arrived at 3.15 to be met with lovely tea and coffee and a bar area for us. The food arrived soon after and was top class. The selection was fantastic as was the quality. I would certainly recommend the Quart pot fir any event as well as for a meal. Thank you Quart pot!

If you’re serious about your quiz nights. Then don’t bother coming here The quiz master will give their house rules about cheaters and not going on your phone for the answers and that they’ll embarrass those who get caught.. They then don’t bother leaving their seat throughout the whole duration to carry out the checks for cheaters. They knew full well that the regulars are constantly on their phones / googling the answers. Only way to solve this is to make the quiz digital / via an app. Just spoils the fun when cheaters are clearly cheating and the quiz master knows this is happening and does nothing about it… Nothing against the pub because that’s amazing!

Much improved menu and atmosphere!

Five of us came for dinner and it was a bit of a mixed bag although mostly good. All the staff were really lovely and very helpful and all our meals were very tasty well cooked and presented, overall we quite liked this pub. The downside was that the vegan options on the menu were pretty limited & of the non-vegan options at least three were unavailable, two of which were my top two choices. Perhaps we will give this place another go and hope that the shortage of meals available was a one off.

Very disappointed with our lunch today. We both had the ciabatta, one battered fish and one beef. The ciabatta was not toasted as was more like a baguette. Fish was overcooked as was beef. Very hard to digest. We both left most of it. We also waited a long time for food. Would not return.

First time there and I will be going again

We met friends for lunch we arrived at 2 and was taken to our booked table right by a radiator, so was lovely and warm on this frosty day. We ordered from the two/three course menu and also the main menu the food was all beautifully served piping hot and very well presented. A very pleasant lady called Sarah talked us through the varied menu and took our order which was bought to us by a lovely lady named Lisa. We didn’t wait long for our food or desserts all which were delicious, the girls also done two call backs to check all was good, thank you Sarah and Lisa for making our visit to this beautiful pub very pleasant we will definitely be returning very soon

Had a lovely festive afternoon tea here today. The food was really nice - just the right amount. Excellent value for money and the staff were really pleasant and helpful. I would definitely recommend!

Really nice pub very friendly and accomodating staff. Menu was actually very reasonably priced definitely got our money's worth.

Ordered salad with chicken very over priced 15.50 then 3.00 making it 18.50 for lunch with 3 items missing from salad peas mande tout & rocket

Had a lovely chicken burger,with coleslaw and onion rings,(could of been done a bit longer,like em crunchy) the onion rings that is !

Amazing service from Lisa, Sarah and Grace. Always look after us. Cannot recommend enough!! Lovely little pub with such a welcoming atmosphere

Booked for lunch and the food was delicious! Very attentive and friendly staff . Thank you for lovely time we definitely will be back soon.

Didn't seem to match up to the dog friendly hype on their website, and all a bit low rent really; a bit like a Harvester, you order and pre-pay at the bar. However, unlike Harvester there is no proper waiting service so you have to queue at the bar to get your drinks. Food was kind of ok though we felt the beef was overcooked. Roast potatoes were nice though. Although marketed as a dog friendly venue we never got that impression. It felt more like they were simply tolerated.

not our cup of tea, as 2 managers are rude, useless and can't be bother to serve customers. they will be a better fit for a office job rather than a pub, as they look they are there just to take the money and not enjoying their job . they also gave us a weird look even though we paid full price for our meals

Just visted the quart pot tonight and I had a warm welcome by Sarah R and Danny

Fabulous & friendly, we had food and drinks and all was lovely. The Halloween decks are brilliant. I will be recommending to friends & family 😊

Amazing food. Staff are lovely, especially the management. I ordered the burrito and they made it just the way I wanted. Busy atmosphere but really good. Great food and drink choice. Couldn't recommended it more! Went on a Friday and all the staff were working incredibly hard. Great choice of pub x Edit: this pub still gives a great experience! Been here a few times, food always really good, great customer service, menu choice etc always a lovely friendly atmosphere

Came for dinner and the staff were friendly and all in a great experience, food was amazing. Will definitely be back again

Popped in for a spot of lunch and was not disappointed! The staff were so friendly, really went out of their way which made me feel welcome. I ordered the chicken pie and it was delicious. Such a beautiful pub I would throughly recommend

Great pub, but like so many others, pricy drinks!

I would not normally leave a bad review but our experience here on Christmas day was awful. Food was not hot enough and really not very edible, most of the family left thier meal. Decor was tatty and dated and service extremely slow. A formal complaint was made in January direct to the quart pot and also to the brewery concerned..... Never again!

Remember my dad jack salmons taking me to the Quart pot lovely beautiful pub I'm now in Australia but will always remember this pub as we lived in Wickford until 1978

First time I've been there, and it was quite nice. Went for a colleague's leaving do. They put on a spread that was quite nice. All the staff were pleasant.

Fast service, friendly staff but absolutely disgusting prices. How do they sleep at night charging £6.30 for a bottle of cider? Profiteering during the cost of living crisis says it all about how this place is run. Do NOT recommend

I had the Venison, well first it was not a pie. It was an open tart with a huge puff pastry top. The tart was so small the top was so big you could not see it. It came with 1 serving spoon of mash that was spread on the plate to make ot look more and vegetables. Over priced. Bar man was helpful but the lady was unhelpful when my friend complained about the very dry vegetable burger. No exchange of food was offered or discounted. Will not go again or recommend this pub.

Always driven past and wanted to try it. Went with a group of 13 and you have to order at the bar like a weatherspoons. Food then came up separately. People had finished as starters were coming out. Very under staffed with members arguing behind the bar.

Had a lovely meal here today. My birthday. There was 10 of us. Starters and main meal Came out quickly, bar staff were so friendly and hats off to the chef! Lovely way to spend my birthday meal. Would highly recommend

I attended your afternoon tea with friends today. Wow. Just wow. Staff were amazing . The food was delicious and the option of Prosecco nailed it. Thank you so much for a lovely afternoon today ❤️

A nice place to take family or freinds very casual A wide range of food on the menu and nice polite helpful freindly staff food is very nice

After ordering food a waitress come over to tell us it would be an hour before food which was slightly annoying but not the end of the world. After waiting so long for the food it arrived, fish and chips was fine. The cheese burger was okay. Grilled chicken burger was RAW, not slightly raw, the outside was white and the rest of the chicken was cold and pink, not slightly even cooked. Again, grilled chicken salad was also raw and it is concerning that this even was able to leave the kitchen. One person is severly ill currently from eating this and another has started feeling funny - the food poisoning that both people could have is so bad and not acceptable considering the risks from eating undercooked chicken. The guy at the bar was helpful and gave us a free round of drinks however this does not compare to the food poisoning now got. Another table also had an issue which they actually got their money back for the food. Kitchen staff need to be relooked at

Had sunday roast. Only ate half of it because I was starving. The parsnip was so hard, couldn't cut it. The beef was overcooked, not tender at all, thank god I had gravy!! My friend complained and got her money back. The meal was well below average, and same price as other places. I've heard from alot of people that the food has gone down hill unfortunately The waiting staff are really good, reckon they get fed up with what the kitchen is sending out

Roast potatoes was like new potatoes no roast on them at all , the carrot was rock hard and the meat was luke warm . The giant pig in blanket was ice cold when it arrived . Won’t be going back for a roast

Clean and classic British pub. Lovely atmosphere, delicious food, large selection of drinks. Dog friendly! 🐾 Plenty of free parking.

Party of 5. All well looked after. Pleasant staff. Nicely decorated. Ok to park on Thursday. Nice garden.

Attended with my partner for an anniversary lunchtime meal. We booked a table as we assumed it might be busy and we didn't want to risk turning up and being turned away. On arrival, we walked in to no staff by the entrance and 2 staff members behind the bar taking orders. Was a booking necessary? Probably not. We chose our own table as we wasn't welcomed by anyone and didn't know if booking a time, meant booking a table but that wasn't the case. We ordered the nachos sharer, one hunters chicken and one fish and chips. The nachos were cold & for a first time ordering nachos, these were garnished with rocket & pickled red onion (not mentioned on the meal description with both me and my partner dislike). This put us both of the nachos straight away as we had to remove all the onions and leaves that were unnecessary and not listed on the ingredients. When I asked the staff about it they said it was normal to have on top & I advised them that it didn't state that on the menu in which they kind of shrugged off and said sorry. My partners fish and chips might aswell have been called batter and chips as there was about 80% batter 20% fish. When it arrived there was no tartar sauce & when I asked the staff they said they hadn't had any delivered. Shouldn't this have been advised when the meal was ordered to give us a heads up? Another disappointing dish. My hunters chicken was lovely, however it came with ONE onion ring which was laughable. Both dishes came with peas which were like bullets too. Lastly, what is up with the plate sizes? The actual size of the plates don't even hold the food on properly (see picture) so whenever I tried eating the hunters chicken, my chips and peas were falling onto the table.

Went for lunch today, the pub wasn’t busy but out of a group of 7 people in total, 5 had to send food back due to it being cold Told by staff that all food is cooked fresh to order, in which case you clearly need to turn the oven on, or the temperature up higher Complained and offered free deserts which were politely declined Won’t be rushing back any time soon

Food was well presented although onion rings missing from the plate but quickly sorted out. Other meals were good. No coffee (except decaf) but otherwise very pleasant and a nice atmosphere to sit and catch up with friends

So disappointing, ate there a lot a few years ago but todays meal was not good, child’s meal was still partly frozen, sausages not fully cooked and had to be returned, 2 adult meals ( beef ribs) both lacking meat, all fat, told as it was eaten could offer a free drink, daughter ate it as she didnt want to complain but why dish up food that you can clearly see is sub par and undercooked, salad was bitter and parts of it slimy, pub restaurant fairly empty which should of been a warning when everywhere else was fully booked. Young girl who we complained to was lovely and tried to help as was the lady behind the bar. Sorry Quart Pot you’re a lovely pub but food was not good and certainly not up to the price charged.

Father's day meal abysmal. Didn't honour their advert. Food came out in dribs and drabs, food definitely microwaved and totally hideous. Not eating here again.

Our family tried the Sunday roast here today and it was so dreadful we all left with full plates. The stuffing tasted like an orange cough sweet (and was tiny), the potatoes were so pale I thought they were boiled not roasted, the veg was hard, the mash tasted like microwave or powdered mash (mine had a big powdery lump in the middle) and the meat all tasted the same (like those microwave meat in gravy things). The gravy was so thick you could slice it. As for service, there was none. You order at the bar (unless you're a local it seems). Honestly would never come here again, better off at a carvery.

Visited the quart pot today (Sunday 9th) for Sunday lunch. I can only describe the experience as awful. Firstly, we ordered the roast dinner, which was possibly the worst roast I have had in over a decade. It tasted like the microwaveable roast dinners I was subjected to as a child. Dry slices of meat (beef, pork and turkey all tasting the same), thick sickly gravy, undercooked and soft potatoes, and dense, chewy stuffing. It really was unremarkably bad for the £70 we paid. In addition, we were advised to order from the bar, despite 4-5 staff members lurking around chatting, whilst other customers received table service. We will not be returning. Disappointing.

My husband and I enjoyed a child free night at the quart pot. Delicious food and the staff were all friendly. We have also visited with our 2 boys as well and they were so accommodating. We will certainly return when we can.

This lovely British pub was excellent. Staff were brilliant, food was amazing, cocktails were delicious!!!If you haven't had a Treacle Tart, HAVE ONE😋. Definitely a go to if you're in the area. Highly recommend!

Confusion over the deal they had on and the Hake and ClamS only featured one clam and apparently this has been complained about before.

I had a Sunday roast, and I absolutely loved it, i got the trio meat roast turkey, pork, and beef !! All for £16 !! Wow, and endless roast potatoes and gravy 😋 as well win win . My wife had the steak and venison pie award winning as said on the menu, and she and I had no issues whatsoever about our choices of dishes we chose and both ssooo tasty. My wife doesn't eat pork, but she did love my roast potatoes being American she doesn't get them Hahaha. We only ordered mains as we didn't know how big the portions were, but we definitely didn't need any other dishes from the portion we got, but there are more we will try from the starters menu next time we visit the quart pot . My mother-in-law is visiting us in July and we will be taking her here!! The staff are also amazing . Well worth a visit if your near by.

Lovely service by Grace. Would recommend the Fish and Chips.

Decently priced good quality Pub Grub with a great service.

Always a nice visit with friendly staff all is always good & clean & dogs are welcome 👍 with great parking with a nice walk 2 park at the back if U take your Pooch 🐕👌

Turned up the car park was very busy but this was due to the weather being nice I suppose, we walked in to be told our table was still occupied so we were put somewhere else next to a door that was just constantly banging every 5seconds with a draft, ordered our food and drinks, starters we had chilli jam sausages these were ok, chicken goujons are what they are and the garlic bread which was literally a slice of bread burnt to a crisp no flavour at all, we then waited an hour and 15minutes for our roast when asking where our food is I was told it will be 10minutes just dishing it up, roast came out looking like a bomb had gone off on the plate it was stone cold they took it back and oblivious put it in the microwave as when it came back the plate was red hot, the beef was rock hard and the parsnips and carrots were solid as well as for the mash I’ll leave that for you guys to make you’re mind up, the menu description to what we received was very different, I did attend Mother’s Day and had the same problems but put that down to being very busy so thought I’d try one more time unfortunately we experienced the same problems

Ein schöner Pub mit Anbau/Vergrößerung zum Restaurant - gutes Getränkeangebot! Das Speisenangebot und dessen Qualität geht durchaus über das eines normalen englischen Pubs hinaus. Bestellung an der Bar, anschließend Tischservice! Gut besucht - Reservierung empfehlenswert

Great atmosphere especially with the live singer she was great. Great atmosphere, happy staff, tasty Hake & scallop tagliatelle and fish & chips and we were asked how our food. We'll worth a visit

Lovely pub, decent food and very friendly staff!

First time visit for a meal, food good service excellent ,a nice place to take familey well recommended.

Went out for an Easter roast! Was lovely, had Kristina as our waitress who was so helpful and friendly! Thanks Kristina.

Had a wonderful afternoon at the Quart pot for my sisters 70th , food was amazing and service was spot on just enough time between courses . Thank you for making our afternoon so lovely xxx would recommend the prawn and calamari duo !! Lamb was amazing!! 🤩

Our visit was a work group of 17. We had great service, lovely food, extremely helpful staff and a fast service which we were grateful for due to our committments. Thank you to The Quart Pot

Visited the Quart Pot quite a few times as my sister lives close by - always had great food and friendly service. Today we went for the Sunday roast dinner and it was lovely - the extra roast potatoes and yorkies went down a treat!

Overall this is a nice pub with a great garden too. However, a member of staff Ryan lets it down - with a sarcastic and condescending attitude to customers.I was also over charged yesterday - only slightly, but still was overcharged!

Went for lunch with a friend the food was disappointing the salad tasted old the peppers were slimy, there was also raw broccoli in the salad . I had bacon, chicken & avocado sandwich and the bacon was all fat . The bread was soggy. The windmill is much better.

Mother’s Day meal for 5. Two course set meal for 5 people. We all had a roast which was stone cold, tiny portions and the beef was tough. Sent it back as it was so cold only to wait another 20 minutes for a warm ish meal to come out and it to still be disgusting, 1 carrot and 1 parsnip on the plate a tiny piece of mash, small potatoes and a small Yorkshire pudding. deserts were obviously microwaved. The staff were lovely, not their fault and did take some money off for us at the end. Just a big shame as the food is usually lovely.

Outstanding table service, everyone's so friendly, has that real Pub/Restaurant vibe and the food couldn't be better! They also allow dogs and are very family friendly, don't have anything bad to say, 100% Recommend!

My husband took us here for Mother’s Day meal, it was 2/3 course menu for £22-27 Starter was chicken skewers that came out not cooked still pink, was sent back and another replaced Had triple roast for main and Small potions, tablespoon of powdered mash, I carrot and 1 parsnip which was hard still, a small stuffing ball that was too fruit flavoured, food wasn’t that hot either Pudding was crumble and custard that was heated in the dish and well over cooked didn’t resemble a crumble was like a suet pudding with burnt apple I couldn’t even eat it service was slow and won’t be going back

Had afternoon tea there today with a group of about 25 - 30 people and can honestly say it's by far the worst afternoon tea I have ever had. Apart from the scones the rest was incredibly poor. Bread dried up and fillings largely uneatable. Desserts very poor indeed. Won't go again. It's a shame as the pub It's is really nicely laid out and attractively decorated.

Went to this place with a group of friend for afternoon tea. It was terrible sandwiches were made with bread that was dried up BLT had no tomatoes init and bacon was 99%fat completely not fit to eat. The only good thing was the scones. The arrangement was a buffet style not the usual service on stands at the table. Certainly not worth the money & a big disappointment.

Afternoon Tea for over 20 of us, together with drinks was the worst experience we have ever had. There was a choice of only TWO sandwiches which were all curled up with no brown bread on offer, all placed on a shelf behind the tables and chairs. Afternoon Tea is normally displayed on a stand on each table. The service was also miserable.

Nice staff and service. Ordered over the counter but there is a phone service through the app as well. Food was good, but the fish and chips were soaking in a lot of oil. Batter was a little thick as well. I had to leave a lot batter as it was heavy with oil.

Worst roast dinner in a long time, adults portion was more like a kids size. Went back because it was cold, then arrived back warmer, and the meat was inedible as it looked like it had been microwaved to death. Unfortunately, we weren't the only ones to send back food this afternoon. We were given complimentary deserts but feel we should not have had to pay for the food. It is a Shame as previously food has been lovely and hopefully the kitchen was just having a bad day.

Worst roast we've ever had, very small, tough dry meat and food was cold, sent all four roasts back for fresh sent back same food. Will not be going back ever.

Had a lovely fish & chips followed by a delicious Sundae. Staff were lovely and friendly would definitely recommend! ..

Lovely little pub, delicious food & the staff were extremely helpful and accommodating

First time here, and I was very disappointed. Living at St lukes we thought it might be a place we could regularly visit after this evening that is now a definite no. The glass of wine I asked for was £10.25 I did not ask for New Zealand sauvi b!!! Since when do they give you their most expensive wine. The food you order yourself or on the app. It came quickly but was not particularly good. All in all, would I visit again? Definitely, not.

If you like heavily microwaved food then this place is for you! Greasy fish and inedible dessert. Won’t be going back and will spread the word

Visited on Monday afternoon unfortunately it was not good… ordered fish and chips which was swimming in grease and the apple crumble was stodgy and inedible.

Nice pub, good atmosphere and good food

I came here previously for lunch and was served a steak sandwich which was great, so I decided to return a couple of weeks later for another. Can honestly say this time the worst place I ever have eaten this time around. The portion size was inconsistent, before I was served a really nice portion and was satisfied with service. However this time I came; I had the tiniest bit of steak that was massively over cooked and had half the portion size as before. They also served me without gravy despite it meaning on the menu as “most people ask without it” as I was told by the worker. When I questioned the portion size I was told that this was the size and shouldn’t have been given the size before. If this is the size of the portion even a toddler would not have been filled up. Awful experience I will not be returning.

Food was lovely, staff members great

Great little pub with a lovely atmosphere! Food is good, although often run out of items on the menu.

Went here for my mum's wake, very disappointed in the cost, quality and quantity of food provided

This is a lovely local pub, and we are pleased to have it so nearby. It's been recently renovated with more seating and a fresh lick of paint. The food here is always great, service at the bar, dog friendly, and often busy, so I recommend booking a table. The only criticism I would have is the car park. It can be muddy, full of puddles, and limited for space. They have live music nights, pub quiz nights, and often good value deals from the food menu. Highly recommend!

Really nice food excellent service reasonably priced with a great atmosphere. Also dog welcome in certain part of the bar. 👍

Came for a Sunday roast and was massively disappointed. The meal came with a slice of a roasted carrot and a shrivelled slice of a roasted parsnip and a small sprig of broccoli. When asked whether we should expect any more veg, we were told we would have to buy them. The potatoes were clearly frozen ones and the gravy was full of lumps. The only saving grace was that we could have unlimited potatoes and yorkshires, so had to order a few extra portions to actually have a normal sized dinner portion. Am hoping it was just a bad Sunday service but I’m not so sure.

Nice bar, after work drink. Always a pleasure, treated well. Danny knows what I want, and makes me smile. Good conversation. Just what the doctor ordered after a busy day at work.
