The Wheatsheaf in Chelmsford

Dreadful pub. AVOID. Awful bar staff - no customer service and toilets are a hovel ! Far better pubs in the area. Do yourself. Favour and try any other pub !

Wanted to come in for a drink during the Euros. I’m 20 years old, the barmaid took my ID and said it was fake. I showed her my bank card, uni ID, picture of my passport, and pub groupchat to prove otherwise. I asked to see the landlady and she was incredibly rude and hostile, she claimed that i was “all over pub groupchats” and my “name, face, and ID” was spread around and that nobody would let me in anywhere. I knew this wasn’t true as I’d never lent anyone my ID in my life so was impossible for any of this to have ever happened. She refused to give it back and said even if I brought her my passport I couldn’t have it. I left and asked a few other pub bouncers if this information was true. They said that all that’s happened is an image of another blonde girl had gone around to the pubs to say she was using fake IDs, but she “didn’t really look like” me. So I found some police officers and explained the situation, they went and got my drivers licence back for me 1 hour later and thought the situation was ridiculous. Terrible, unprofessional, rude pub and safe to say wont be going near it ever again. Spoiled my night for no reason. Disgusting.

Came for Mother’s Day with the family. Food was great value for money and plentiful. The team were really attentive and couldn’t do enough. Would highly recommend. Will definitely be back again.

This is a busy popular town centre pub. Town centre prices but good atmoshphere 4 pool tables , music , outside seating, food is basic but well up to standard. Busy on football days as it should be.

So I was trying to find a venue for my boyfriends 40th birthday and was very lucky to find this place. I immediately felt the stress of planning a party lift! We ordered food for 15 but there was so much and it lasted us for days after. They catered for everyone with vegetarians and vegan choices and it was all lovely. We had a great size area with a toilet and a private side of the bar. They also provided us with their resident DJ Charlie who was fantastic and played all the genres we asked for and had everyone dancing. Can’t recommend enough! Will definitely book another event here!

Lovely and friendly pub. Family run pub where you are made to feel so welcome. Great atmosphere. Fantastic drink prices!

Absolutely love this place, it’s close enough to the town centre but is nice and quiet surrounding. Perfect for a post train journey drink too! I came with a group of girls and we were treated so nicely to a gorgeous buffet, the drinks were reasonably priced (particularly Gins… they have deals on) and the pool tables are fab. Didn’t get a chance to go in the garden area but will definitely take a look next time!

Had a great time with my girl gang one of the Saturdays, had a great time with fantastic music. We really enjoyed here.

Very clean, very friendly, bar staff very welcoming. I will recommend to friends and family and will be back. Lovely and fun Tracey x

Banging pub, great food, great beer, pool tables, new dart board, toilets are AMAZING, loads of TV’s, under new management and is SO much better now than it ever was

This pub ticks all the boxes , great food, brilliant atmosphere and caters for all . New managers are friendly and welcoming. Definitely will use as my local

Service was beyond terrible and the food we had was disgusting we were a family of six looking for great food. And we're extremely disappointed. Swerve this place peeps

Went for some beers and the footy. Warm welcome and proper C19 procedures. Decent beer, the staff were on their game and we enjoyed a few pints while watching the football. Will be back.

Micheal made me an excellent burger! Brilliant portion size and the service was friendly and quick especially during this time. The venue was clean and spacious.

Excilent pub good music good beer really friendly staff and punters pool tables are the best In town

Not a bad pub, wide selection of beers, kids being in there was no problem at all and a very wide variety of sports to choose from on multiple TVs. Will visit again no problem

Have drunk in this pub for about 10 years. Always a friendly atmosphere. Good service from the staff. Always show the sports I want. Top notch

I first visited the Wheatsheaf 4 years ago and was welcomed in as a member of the family straight away and have continued to spend my time there since. They have a fantastic attitude towards new faces and have a good amount of fun with...

How can a pub that has a Shisha area and has numerous clients of all race colour and creed be racist. These kind of reviews can be damaging to a business long term and can in extreme circumstances cause redundancies or worse. The Wheatsheaf has always been welcoming to all and in the decade I've been going in there I have never seen one incident to contradict that. You may have had a bad experience with a member of staff but saying it's racist is very naive and spiteful.

Glasses are always dirty in this place... worst experience ever, there was dirty lipstick all around my wine glass. I think they get so busy that they just empty wine glasses and not wash them. Absolutely disgusting

Being my nearest pub I thought perhaps I should visit. Big mistake. Loud music at the same time as football on TV. Food dreadful. One pint and home.

Not a bad menu and at the time of visit they had rugby Six nations themed burgers which looked amazing (but only noticed them after I ordered.). It’s all ok and the pulled pork is very nice. Avoid the curry sauce as it has less...

Stayed in the premier inn just round the corner for a couple of nights. Was looking for a decent pub having tried the ubiquitous Wetherspoons which was rammed and is the cheapest of the few pubs in the town centre. Some one recommended the Wheatsheaf...

Called in for a few pints and something to eat. Good selection of beer and a varied menu. Special mention for Luke T who was working the bar on his own and did a great job of looking after us and provided a good service...

He estado en este pub para un almuerzo. Jacket potato and half pint. Estaba bastante tranquilo, pero no dejo de...

Business Trip, staying at nearby Premier Inn. Went in for a few beers. It has good real ale. Watched the Liverpool V Chelsea game. The natives were friendly but they couldn't fathom what a Scouser was ding in there,

Only went in for a few drinks on a Friday night. Not that busy really as it really close to the uni. Was okay though, no issues.

Have to say it is a well located pub with good range of drinks at average prices. Food, unfortunately really not up to scratch - all meals were somewhat overcooked and dry. Had we not been in hurry to catch train we certainly would have...

This popular pub is a good meeting place and offers a traditional venue for a pint or for a group wanting to meet. The menu is pub fare but reasonably priced and well prepared.

Absolutely disgusting food, served cold. Manager argued with me, refused to rectify my food. Was unhygienic and disgusting over all

The Wheatsheaf is a great pub with the main attraction being its abundance of pool tables, and the fact it has small (albeit fairy low-resolution) TVs inside some of the booth tables. I will say that you may want to check beforehand whether there's a...

Went here for the carling cup final (football) as was staying in chelmsford for the wkend and i must say its a great wee pub with friendly staff n prices are reasonable, if ur lookin for free accommodation for the night then you havent to...

Dropped in for a quick pint, loads of screens for sport even individual ones at each table. A few different ales on but as its was the six nations mainly rugby themed beers.

A decent pub with a wide range of drinks. Pool tables and Sky sports, make this quite a busy sports bar. Despite being busy, the bar service was quick. Decent smoking area at the back,. Would go again if I was in the area.
