Town Crier in Chelmsford

Lovely food, unbelievably good value, 2 mains for £14.99 you just can't grumble hearty portions as well

Amazing kirsty chef is so good I give her 10/10 for her food and thank you to bar staff for all help and looking after us ....

The staff were very friendly and made the place feel very alive, I loved the food, very enjoyable experience

Brilliant staff, lovely food and such a chilled fun place to be

Lovely clean place Staff are so welcoming Highly recommended 👌

Good pub food, with pleasant and accommodating staff including being dog friendly as on arrival thought I may of had to be seated outside with my dog only to find I could be placed inside in the bar area which is pet friendly that being said with a doggie menu so on the whole every family member enjoyed the experience.

Great food and service with a smile at The Town Crier, love that dogs are welcome! A real family pub…

Always more than happy after eating with anyone on any occasion, the burgers of the month never disappoint!

Staff are always welcoming and friendly

Always a great laugh not just with friends with the amazing staff that create a welcoming environment

makes a great pinot and lemonade🫶🏼🫶🏼

Carlos is the best bar tender I have ever met, so lovely always remembers my order and tries he’s hardest to get me a a moretti glass. Steven is also very great with great customer service. Wayne is also stunning

Great range of food and beers, good service, I will be back soon

The team at the crier are amazing. Nothing is too much trouble. Great food, reasonably priced. Lots of things going on, I will return again soon

We had a surprise 40th in the back room. We were able to plug in our own music and use our playlists which was a bonus Staff were very accommodating and helpful Would definitely use again Thanks to Wayne and team 👌

for the food and staff was great for the money just small bits need doing for a full 5 star 🌟

I haven’t been for about 3 years now as the kitchen was always closed in the past. I came in last week with my family for food and will definitely be returning, amazing food and reasonably priced

Staff are always happy to help and cater for my needs. They are very professional! Clean and very welcoming especially Kirsty!

Food was absolutely wonderful staff where lovely. Will definitely come back

Never had a bad meal here absolutely love the burger of the month I have tried far too many but this might be my favorite one and it's the very first day of it being available was the Chicago beef burger was absolutely gorgeous enjoyed by both me and my wife. Always a friendly face behind the bar and can't do enough for you! Would massively recommend to anyone

Came in for dinner with the family, food was fantastic, served hot and in good time. Service was good and very friendly would definitely recommend.

Aways good hot food a cheery smile and good service

Had a fish finger sandwich on my lunch break, food was lovely, staff were so accommodating and professional, especially Steven. Will be coming back again soon :)

A lovely surprise. Nice food and friendly staff. The beer range is good and reasonably priced. Situated next to Asda, a welcome watering hole for a thirsty shopper.

I have visited the town crier on many occassions and have always enjoyed being there. The manager Wayne & his staff are very friendly and efficient, the food is always very nice and i have never had to wait long for it. Overall i give this pub 10/10 Regards John

Went for dinner for my girlfriends birthday and was not disappointed the food was exceptional especially the cheeky devil burger of the month my girlfriends is quite fussy with her steak but said the one she had was cooked to perfection. The staff were friendly and catered for our every need so will definitely pass this place on to our friends thank you for an amazing night.

Have visited numerous times, the staff and management are always friendly, welcoming and provide great service. Good choice and quality of drinks and food. Plenty of screens for sports. If ever in South Woodham Ferrers I would recommend a visit

Lovely staff, helpful and friendly, booked for six that turned out to be 8, no problem , love eating here, food always hot and tasty, restaurant clean and well laid out.

Manager extremely rude , bar staff more friendly , glasses dirty Manager won’t let you use pool table or dart board and very rude when asked to use

Big thank you to Kirsty and Wayne on Xmas day! We had a huge table of 10 our food was amazing, lots of it and tasted lovely. Kirsty and the kitchen staff worked so hard and we had an incredible day. Xmas eve they was all amazing too. Thank you so much!

This is our second time having Christmas dinner. And it was amazing the food was out of this world and so much of it, there was 10 of us and we all thought the food was outstanding. It came out all on time no waiting and was all correct. My little girls even got given a little Christmas presents which kept them busy. We will definitely be booking up for Christmas 2025. 10/10

Had the most lovely Christmas dinner yesterday and the stuff could not have done any better worked there socks off ... HUGE dinners coming out all 10 of us loved it Big thanks you to Wayne & kirsty and all the staff members 10 out of 10

Christmas dinner for the second year and once again , the food was fantastic and massive portions , no one left hungry that’s for sure. Staff as always friendly attentive and welcoming. Thanks guys

We are regular customers at the Town Crier and on Christmas Day was a party of 12. We all agreed the lunch was amazing the quality was top restaurant. Most of all, the service was fantastic, the manager cook, could not do enough for our party especially our two girls, of 2 years and 3 years of age. Would strongly recommend the Town Crier for a great atmosphere and exceptional service.

Excellent customer service and very helpful staff

Lovely place great atmosphere very friendly staff lovely food definitely recommend visiting.

BAR MANAGER IS ABSOLUTELY SO WELCOMING GREAT VIBE! I can honestly say, I’m a Yorkshire’man & this is the first time I’ve visited this pub working away so just stumbled upon it as life happens. Usually I’m anti’greenking but WAYNE the gaffer was so so good at his job & run a tight ship with his staff which also I must say was a service with a smile! I would so recommend this pub for all ages ( I’m 31 & been brought up in pubs ) it’s made my night finding such a warm welcoming place. Hope you enjoy!

Lovely little pub. Nice food and drink. Quick service They even let you bring the dog.

Lovely place to have a pint and eat

Had a lovely meal at the Town Crier tonight, the service was really friendly and the food was really tasty and well presented. We will definitely be back. Lots of offers on so really good value too.

Always good food, hot and tasty, atmosphere brilliant, staff friendly and helpful. 😀

A busy Friday. I'd definitely rate it higher if they had more staff on this occasion. The staff were flat out and seemed low on staff. Although somehow coping, so congratulations to them all. Especially the main bar man and the chef. Beer and food were amazing for the money. Atmosphere was cheerful all round.

Wow. what a big change seens last come here . Service and food was on point thank you so much. We all had great night and can't wait to come .

Always polite and Wayne is certainly the best addition as previous management have just not matched up. Always a welcoming manor

Great drinks, food, staff and prices.

Lovely staff and atmosphere will definitely be returning! Service was prompt and Food was excellent. best lunch ever!!!

Went earlier tonight for dinner and we both had the burgers of the month which were both amazing great recommendation by the staff followed by the chocolate brownie for dessert. Service was great the atmosphere in the bar area was how a pub should be. We will definitely visit every time we are in the area.

The food was lovely nice and hot and tasty Not as many chips as I would like but very nice

Very good value food that tasted amazing for the price, we will certainly be back

Great Pub - fantastic sports room We came to play some darts and we had a great time. Sports bar is its own seperate room which is fab. Staff are lovely, great sense of humor and complimented our visit perfectly. We will be back for match 2 of darts very soon!

Always a fab spot for a quick and tasty lunch. We had 2 of the sandwich meal deals (steak and chilli chicken - both delicious) as well as a children’s lunch, we all left full and satisfied. Big thanks to Wayne for the friendly service (especially accommodating the last minute menu change!) We’ll be back!

The pub has had a great revamp and is a nice place to visit. The management and staff are doing a fantastic job great beer and food.

Amazing pub, staff are great very welcoming, will be back again very soon

Had amazing time with family. Food was on point .

I visited Wayne and his team in early July 2024, as i had been here previously in October 2023 i was looking forward to my return visit. I was not disappointed as the service food and drinks were excellent quality Looking forward to my return later this year

A huge thank you to The Town Crier in South Woodham Ferrers for hosting our end of season celebrations on Sunday 23rd June! Our South Woodham Ferrers United FC U16 Puma’s squad are this seasons Southend Junior League champions and this was the perfect venue to recognise the boys achievement. We had exclusive use of the Sports Bar to the rear of the main pub - this room was the ideal size to accommodate our 50 or so guests, not too big and not too small. The pool table, darts board and large TV’s kept all the boys entertained well into the evening. The Crier were very happy to accommodate our requests for balloons and banners to add a personal touch for the team. The very friendly staff were always on hand to help ensure that our presentation ran smoothly, especially Wayne and Stav. A big shout out to Kirsty for the great hot & cold buffet and keeping everyone well fed. I’d definitely recommend The Town Crier and this room for any small / medium sized events - many of our guests knew the main pub and had visited before, but weren’t aware that this little gem of a sports bar even existed at the rear! We look forward to you hosting us again next year!

Had lunch here today. Ordered chicken flat bread. Bread was so hard couldn't eat it. Asked by waitress if food ok i said no not really and she smiled and walked off. Plates were then collected and i once again said i could not eat it. Nothing was said or done. Also 2 lunches for £13 but was charged full price for me and my daughters meals. I had to go asda and buy a sandwich. Won't be eating there again!!

Had a great experience with a group of special friends. I wanted nothing to go wrong. Well let me tell you rhe team didnt dissapoint, service and food was great. Will be returning soon. Thank you Roy

Lunch was OK. Reasonably priced. Tables a bit sticky. Chair seat coverings were very dirty. My seasonal salad and peas were not the best. Chicken strips and gammon were both fine. Service was great, the young chap serving was polite and efficient.

Very basic pub grub x mash potatoes a bit grey and lumpy swapped for chips. New menu being prepared and getting new seasonal staff etc.

Passing through but will come again. Lovely food, staff and service. Wish I lived nearer.

Hired their function room and was such a good decision. We was able to arrange buffet food and use their music surround system for a playlist and their tv for a sideshow of photos. They put signs up for us to advise it's a private function so no one came in and we was allowed the room for as long as we wanted for such a reasonable price. Would definitely use again!

Such a nice friendly pub, great selection of beers and they’ve always got me the headline sports on

Always a lovely experience when we come here, the food is amazing and the staff are great always friendly and smiling, Wayne goes out of his way every time we have been here to make sure everything is ok, the kids love the food from here too, will always come here as my first choice to eat. It’s lovely and clean. Thankyou for always making our visits great Wayne 😊

Very noisy with music and tv sports plus a noisy group of customers we couldn't have a conversation as it was so loud but the food was worth the very long wait

Been here before and food was terrible, dry, overcooked, burnt, cold and not very appetising. A year later we thought we’d give it a chance and see if it had improved. Unfortunately or fortunately we didn’t get to find out. Service is absolutely abysmal. Booked a table online, no problem. When we arrived, went to the bar and asked where our table was. Advised that the waitress puts names on reserved tables and had to find it ourselves. Name not on any table, obviously. Stood around in dining area waiting for service or help but nothing. Chef saw us from kitchen and so did gormless waiter but not one of them came out to ask why we were waiting for a table or not being served. Rude. Actually funny that a table for 6 was reserved in the name of lesa, if that’s a name and reckoned it was for us, even though that’s not close, morons. No surprise, we left and won’t return. How on earth does your business function? The brewery needs to know. All that will happen is the manager will say to contact him etc to discuss it further. Nothing needs to be discussed further, my review stands. I look forward to your generic response

No mushroom chilli so had to go for Katsu Curry which was nice a little salty but edible. Was very quiet when we were there for a lunch time but OK.

Background music would be a great addition to this place as you can often only here the clink of glasses and the sports/news channel.... More publicity and live acts or fun events, regular family quiz nights etc would be beneficial too! Let's liven it up a bit and create a more fun and inviting atmosphere!

Sorry only went past it all looks clean and tidy Maybe 1 day

Second time in a row been here for food and quite frankly its horrific. Last time had Hunters chicken and it was obvious it was microwave reheated as it was hard and couldnt chew it. This time went for lunch and got Steak Panini and it was not eatable. You couldnt even bite through it let alone chew it. Wont be back and its a shame as only pub in town to eat but needs new owners for me to even contemplate it again. Used to be ok and kids love it but food is so bad go somewhere else.

Come here regularly and the staff and atmosphere are spot on. Staff are friendly and attentive and very quick service. Thank you team!

Good serve and the deals available are great 👍

A massive thank you to Wayne for helping me out on Friday 5th after getting locked out of my shop you are truly amazing. Also a massive thank you to Kirsty and Gina for their amazing service and care as always

We booked a meal for New Year's Eve late in the day. Food and service were first rate. Wonderful with our dog too!

Went for Xmas dinner with our family. Great service, food was amazing plenty of it too, staff all attentive and friendly, lovely atmosphere, relaxed and over all an amazing experience. Thank you to all the staff.

Great value meals at competitive prices. Lovely pub.

Had a lovely breakfast with Santa this morning, my daughter really enjoyed it and was really looked after. Big thank you to Sophie (the elf) for making it so much fun!

Great food, great service, great price!!

Popped in for a meal with family after the light switch on, the pub must be doing something right as they were packed! And yet service was still speedy, the manager was friendly and staff were all on top form, food was very nice and great value with 2 meals at £13.49! The size of the Katsu curry was amazing value! One of my childrens fave! And it was cooked beautifully. Well done chef! All in all, lovely pub in a great location with good staff and a manager who knows what he is doing! Will be back again soon!

It would help having your staff being over the age of 18 to serve alcohol. Twice I went to the bar to be told I could not be served as there was no one about over the age of 18 to authorise the sale. Manager spent most of their time on cigarette breaks outside. So I left and went elsewhere

Lovely cosy and friendly, would recommend

Lovely atmosphere great staff. Easy to get to and the price isn’t to bad either always happy to help there customers great customer service.

Staff are very friendly and food and drink is excellent

lovely little pub, surrounded by good people. staff are brilliant and know how to have a good laugh.

Amazing service from every member of staff, been coming every night that we’ve been staying down here work and will be returning.

Relaxing pub would recommend to all

Had one of the worst meals I have ever had . Waited 2 hrs for a meal that was so poor . Used to go here regularly but that was the last time . Found the staff to be really rude when we complained about the food

Stopped by the Town Crier for a roast. Wayne who served us was very friendly and helpful as my partner wanted to watch a football match on tv so he checked to see if it was being televised. Our roast was really nice. There was plenty of beef and turkey. The vegetables were firm, not soggy. You could add more roast potatoes and yorkies if you wanted. Overall the meal and pub are great value. £13 for a roast. Excellent value.

Great food , very good prices, good selection, really friendly service , will definitely visit again,

Nice atmosphere, staff were friendly. Lovely food, good value for money. Would definitely recommend. 100% will be going back.

Nice atmosphere and a good selection of drinks. Would recommend!

Good place to watch football and grab a bite to eat ⚽️🍔

Popped in with some friends, for a quick bite to eat and a few drinks, food was great and the staff were amazing, couldn’t fault it, will definitely be back

Absolutely amazing food and drinks perfect and the staff can’t to enough 10/10

Third visit third time 5 stars. Things are starting to look good in there - will definitely be coming back

Amazing pub I must say !!! Really well zoned out - brilliant sport area and decor. New manager- really accommodating and staff very nice too. Well done guys!!!

The pub looks excellent with the sports bar revamp Wayne is doing an excellent job bringing the pub back to what it should be with his staff and himself working hard

Great food great people lovely pub Wheel access Clean and tidy And most of all very welcoming Will definitely come bk
