The Six Bells in Chelmsford

Important to stress this Restaurant DOES NOT PERMIT DOGS INSIDE. Although they are very happy to have them in the garden or marque. Lovely staff, enjoyable food, lovely atmosphere apart from when the rear door is opened on cold days.

Always good, friendly staff and relaxing surroundings

Superb food and service, plenty of choice on the menu, lovely atmosphere, we’ll definitely be back! Breaded Camembert starter and Lasagne main, gorgeous! X

Had a wonderful meal at this great pub, food was superb and the menu is extensive, so much choice. A family meal, we all chose something different and it was all very good. The service was excellent too, friendly and efficient staff. Lovely atmosphere, will definitely be back.

A great place to share a meal with friends! We were in a large group and chose a variety of meals from the menu. Everyone enjoyed their food and the service was excellent.

I came here for lunch with my family and it was an excellent experience! The atmosphere was lively, food was yummy and service was great. Special mention to Mick on the bar who made our experience the best it could be! He is very welcoming, friendly, funny and hardworking, you can tell he loves his job. What a credit to the team he is!

I meet a friend here once a month. I can't fault anything, from arrival to leaving, it's a great restaurant.

Booked a meal for a 21 seat charity supper on a Saturday eve. ALL the food was served correct to the prior order and at the same time. No complaints whatsoever. Warm, friendly and attentive staff. Catered extremely well for our 4 Vegans. Nothing was too much trouble to make our night special. Would book here again for the same.

The party of 60 people for Dave’s pre Birthday party with 3 course ran without a hitch. Many thanks to the staff at the 6 Bells Boreham Essex A great night thanks to Gwen & Dave

Lovely food..Great for Sunday lunch great staff good atmosphere 😀

My mum and dad's favourite place to eat, alway come here with the family to celebrate.

Had a birthday meal, delicious food and friendly staff.

Went with friends celebrating a big anniversary the food was pre ordered and delivered in time with proceedings by pleasant friendly staff who looked after us discretely with good food.

Unable to find wheelchair access

Still absolutey fabulous. Very popular. Book or be ready to be disappointed. Cannot wait to go back soon 👍👍👍

Eat her a fair bit and never had a bad meal! Their Sunday roasts are one of the best I've had too!

Fantastic! What a great meal - the haddock and chips was the very best, light, crispy batter - the chips were perfect - crumble and custard perfection with extra custard… the staff were so warm and friendly, not your usual tapping on the screen, stuck to the system but genuinely connected and helpful. We had a four year old and they immediately gave her a colouring book and pencils to keep her happy. This is our new go to pub / thank you The Six Bells - it was a wonderful meal and fantastic personal service.

Great for being cheap very polite staff very welcoming I ordered something not on the menu and they accommodated it for me manager Stacy is extremely friendly

Wonder selection of first class food. Excellent service and very good value for money.

Lovely pub with excellent food and friendly service.

wonderful food, pleasant attentive staff, well done.

As a family we all love The Six Bells. There is always a warm welcome and a very trustworthy gluten-free menu. The owner goes above and beyond to ensure a positive experience. The prices are very reasonable for the quality of food. This pub really should to be advertised as a star find for anyone with any dietary restrictions. Finally, it still feels like a pub which is an absolute positive in my view! With a fire in the winter and a beer garden for a summer pint.

We had not been here for several years and chose it for its location - about midway between us and our daughter. We were expecting pub grub and that is what we got. Each of our mains was as good as you would get in any pub. Good food, decently presented. My dessert was a bit bland, I think was a buy-in. Known in our fsmilyas a "Brakes Bothers" dessert. The only reason it did not justify 'excellent'was the 'manager' who gave the impression she really did not want to be there. When we asked if we could order dessert she said she would get someone else along, she did but there was zero charm. She was the person who took the payment and again without a smile, nor did she bother to ask how we enjoyed the meal.

Late choice on a Friday night great reception good food

Good food and drinks in an historic building, busy atmosphere and excellent service . Around £30 per head. Coffee not so good.

Lovely traditional pub with fantastic food.

This is such a wonderful restaurant. Fantastic staff food and atmosphere 👌

Always pleasant and cheerful staff. The food is always very good, whether that be mains or light lunches. A regular go to for me and my friends.

I live in America and everytime I come visit my family we go to the Six Bells on numerous occasions. The service and food is always top notch.

Great beer garden, worth a stop if you're in Boreham.

I always enjoy the six bells. It's a traditional style pub selling good quality traditional pub food. The pie is always amazing. Good selection of beers and friendly staff.

I had a lovely time the beef and lamb was not as expected however the quick service from my server Charlie .the desserts were exceptional and the way it was represented was astronomically good, will be coming back. Thank!

We visited as a walking group of 14 today (5th July) for lunch. We pre ordered our meals and drinks before setting off for Papermill lock and Stacey very kindly opened up at 9.45am for us. Within 5 minutes of returning from walk, all our drinks and food had arrived. Stacey and his team are all great and i have never been disappointed by the food or service here. Living in Boreham for 41 years, it makes me feel proud to have this as my local

Always enjoy a meal at the Six Bells. Excellent tasty food and ultra friendly, helpful staff.

Great for eating lovely food, inside and out. Good atmosphere. Very helpful staff. Recommended.

Lovely staff very helpful my food was very hot 🔥 but pudding was lovely

My wife and I had a meal at The Six Bells yesterday evening (Friday) with a large group. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals and returned for lunch today. Great food, large portions and staff were all superb. A pleasant welcome on both occasions and service was excellent.

We went for lunch to celebrate a birthday my wife had the fish pie and vegetables, my sister had the sea food salad and I had the beer battered haddock with chips and peas. We all really enjoyed our meals and the service was very good , a nice change to find a pub that serves a decent meal at a reasonable price

Another lovely lunch served by friendly staff and Stacey always cheerful, good choice of food and desserts and good portions served with a smile

Nice food pleasant atmosphere sociable hospitality

I have just finished lunch with a friend. What a great place to go. Great food great service We will defiantly be back

It's absolutely perfect, great atmosphere, perfect food & helpful friendly staff 😀

The food was traditional pub grub a bit disappointed with the salt and pepper squid,cooked well but had no flavour of the salt and pepper.the rest of the food was ok nothing special or wow.nor a really inspiring menu

The Six Bells are a great crew, the food is excellent, I’m not a lover of there Six Bells Sundae only because I’m not fond of Crunchies, but was told if I bring some thing in I like they would add it,Stacey would help any way he could , I would recommend to try them you couldn’t go wrong, Great Food, Great Service.

Good quality home cooked food, generous portions too. One of my favorite places for a pub supper.

Booked a meal for 13 people to celebrate a birthday. Food very good service good. Parking easy. Very reasonable

Food is excellent, service very good and the staff are really friendly

Been visiting six bells for last 20 years but this im afraid was the first time we had to complain about the food. My mother in laws grilled haddock was overcooked and looked like it had been cooked 3 times as hard as rubber. My fish and chips was not to normal high standards being overcooked with very little fish within the batter. The chips were not up to standard either. My sons venison burger was lovely he said so at least he was happy. Maybe a different chef ? Not sure but has certainly seen to be cutting corners on quality but with the normal higher prices which was very disapointing. The lady did remove the grilled fish from the bill. Shame Stacey was not on site.

Excellent food and service. Would go again

It's now our nearest good food pub

Good fodder. Really lovely staff. Worth a stop.

A great place to go for a meal. Food was very enjoyable with excellent service. Very busy so book in advance if you want to eat

Great service, great food, great beer! Garden at the back & looking forward to visiting in the warmer weather! 👍

Very nice pub. Food good. Friendly and nice service. I recommend

Always great service and lovely food 😋

I haven't been here for many years. Still the same. I liked it.

We had a wake for my mother today and they could have done nothing better, lovely food and friendly service and great value. Totally recommended.

Absolutely brilliant! Recommended by a friend. Superb service, lovely staff and amazing food in a really nice pub atmosphere. Will definitely go there again. They also have Level Head on tap! 🍺😋

Jack made sure the place was very clean, and made it a lovely experience for me and my family.

So glad to be able to return for a meal together and it was as good as pre lockdowwn

This was one of our favourite pubs to eat in the Chelmsford area. On Saturday we called in with friends for a drink, although pub was half empty we asked to sit in the front reception area. We promptly left and when somewhere more hospitality. The Six Bells is clearly no longer a pub and only interested in customers who are eating. Just another restaurant!

Great service, nice atmosphere, open fire, good food.

Came for a family gathering .lovely little setting with low beams. Staff were very friendly. Food was great with couple of choices with chef specials as well. Had the partridge and pheasant hotpot with was very meaty and tasty. Would definitely come back

Went for a large group Xmas lunch having previously enjoyed the good food here. Part cooked cold food for some, burnt overcooked for others and just right for half the group. Won't book for a group again but would go back as a couple in the evening. Disappointing.

Great little local pub. Good food, attentive staff and a good atmosphere. I definitely recommend for anyone either looking for food or just a drink.

Superb food couldn't fault all delicious smoked haddock, fresh veg, cheesy mash, salmon daughinouse potato plus vanilla brulee and bakewell tart. Excellent all round good service but best to book gets busy and can understand why!

Popped in for a quick late lunch on the way. Great place will definitely come back.

Fantastic Sunday roast and service was perfect. Had a lovely time here.

Very good traditional pub with smashing food and a wide selection of specials that are well priced. My first visit, looking forward to the next one.

Always can rely on great food and good service. Lovely country pub.

Very nice lunch inc dessert - recommended

Foods is ok, the dessert are the Best things in there! The staff are ok not that attentive and one in particular just come across as rude/stuck-up

Dinner with friends. Great service, great food 👌

Excellent service and really nice food. I ate there with 4 friends for 60th Birthdays and took a takeaway home for my Husband. He said it was the best liver and bacon he's ever had.

Went Sunday 15th October 2023 with my wife and my brother and his wife for Sunday dinner three of us ordered the roast beef meal when it arrived the beef was covered in a watery gravy a minute Yorkshire pudding the beef was very tough and tasteless the only positive thing i could say is that the roast potatoes and parsnips were cooked beautifully very disappointing been there before and been good mentioned it to our server who said they had already had been complaints no offer of any discount was made will go elsewhere in future

Lovely people - tasty food - car enthusiast chef 👨‍🍳

My first visit there with a friend and I would certainly go back there.

Great pub, excellent service and wonderful food.

Good food, very reasonable prices, staff pleasant and attentive. Didn't have to wait long to order or for food and it was reasonably busy. I had the chilli with tortillas and sour cream was very nice, chilli had a reasonable kick, Good size portion. My friend had the burger and she thoroughly enjoyed hers too!

Love love love The Six Bells. My favourite pub/restaurant ever.

We went on a Sunday afternoon. We had Lasagne and the veg risotto and they were both delicious. Really friendly service and great atmosphere. This is the first time we'd been. We chose it as it had a beer garden and play area for the kids. We will definitely be going back!!

We had a fantastic meal here on Saturday good choice on menu big portions lovely atmosphere and staff was lovely be back again

Lovely pub, varied choice of food and friendly atmosphere.

sadly nothing special regards food, service was ok I had steak and ale pie didn't get the home made feel, as with the crumble dessert. had a nice chivas 12year malt went again last week. I think the food has improved since our last time spoilt for choice but went with the chilli .VG guest beer London Glory VG malt whisky? and plum bread and butter pudding VG. and custard VVG so three of us enjoyed the 9place 30per head, so no complaints. see you soon.

Lovely staff. Delicious food. Great for catching up with friends.

Good place to meet friends but you should phone up and book to make sure of a table.

Came for the first time today. We were looking forward to trying a new pub however due to bank holiday they were shutting in half hour. This was fine however we had gone in with a double buggy and they only offered us a table in the garden. However when waking in there were people still eating? We said we would only have a glass but we’re still asked to sit in the cold garden with 2 babies. This was at 7:30

Great home made food and lovely service

Dined from 14:30 this time and chose from the Sunday menu. My partner had the seafood salad, and you couldn't have gotten more delicious seafood on the plate...barely room for the salad! I had the chicken, ham & leek pie, and it came as a very well filled slice. Moist, chunks of meat in shortcrust pasty...served with a lovely rich sauce, new potatoes & a nice little selection of vegetables. Excellent hot food and a nod to the staff who allowed us to take our time.

This is a great pub with good food. Some items better than others but it has a lovely garden with swings and slide etc for the kids. On a warm day this is the perfect place to go with a young family. The kids menu is fab and the staff really lovely.

Superb service, delicious food, really good portions, very clean and the staff are professional and friendly. Plenty of parking. Highly recommended.

What a great place and such friendly staff at the bar and servicing.

Lovely place, food, staff & service was very good indeed

Friendly staff. Good food, had quite a few options to choose from. Children enjoyed their food, ice cream and the play equipment outside. Plenty of parking although there were only one or two cars when we arrived, the car park looked quite full when leaving and had got quite busy inside. Might be best to book a table, we didn't, but they managed to accommodate us with 2 different tables, no issues though as the children seemed to like having their own table together.

Yet another excellent meal. A regular here for meals when we have special celebrations. Great staff and homely atmosphere.

Went for family meal in June. The food is amazing. The staff are very attentive and nothing was too much trouble. Exceptional service by the big boss and all of the staff. Very good value for money. Will certainly return.

We had an amazing family meal on Saturday 8th July. Nothing was too much trouble for our wonderful waiter(didn't get his name, but an experienced and senior member of staff) The trout I had was incredible with fantastic vegetables. The sweets and coffees were equally good. Thank you

Great home cooked food, fare price, fabulous service. Great chef's. 👍

Lovely home cooked food. We really enjoyed the curry. Good selection of drinks too. Really enjoyed this. Thanks

Had a great 3 course meal. Lovely home made food. Always a warm welcome
