The best restaurants in Chelmsford East of England

Not sure how this place has the reviews it does, perhaps we got a bad turn. Overpriced, barely any meat in the dishes and poor service when enquired about the size of prawn toast portion

I had a proper dinner with lamb ribs, some cold and hot mezes, a couple of beers. Paid £34 and worths every penny. You can taste the high quality ingrediants when you keep eating.

We have been to Elachi multiple times now. We love the food and the service is great! Biryani, Naga Chicken and railway beef are excellent. Decor is also very pleasant. Highly recommend.

Made our regular visit to Chilli’s and as always excellent service and great food. Kam and his team are very friendly, welcoming and professional. We’ve been very very many times and never had a poor meal or service in fact every visit is amazing. This is our regular go to restaurant locally especially with the very varied choices of dishes. The best Indian restaurant we know. Definitely recommend and will be returning

Came here for a Groupon afternoon tea. Lovely old building. The staff were friendly. Sandwiches and cake good quality. But wasn't impressed with the mug of hot water with a teabag. Afternoon tea should always be a teapot and cups and saucers.

Excellent food and excellent service

Excellent Sunday dinner and fantastic pub

My family went for an afternoon tea to celebrate a 90th Birthday. We were very disappointed with the sandwich fillings which were very cheap, no prawn or smoked salmon just egg, tuna, sundried tomato and ham & cheese. Very expensive for the amount of money we paid. Also we were giving one pot of tea each which wasn’t re filled until we eventually see someone and had to ask. This was the worst experience of an afternoon tea. Waste of money and we should have gone somewhere else.

Been going here for some years, but our last visit was days before it closed for good. Will miss it. Was always good food and super value.

Not been to what was a lovely little lunch spot for some time but what a price hike! Prices online did not reflect those on the menu. Lemon cake dry & brick-like despite cream & fruit. Tiramisu very rich & sweet, unable to finish either. Coffees very expensive too. Very disappointed that practically all lunch options £10-£20 at least!!

The first I must say is, that the food was top notch. I had the most amazing time at the eagle and hind. The owner Charlie and her partner in crime Tom are the best people you could wish to run in to. If you’re lucky enough to have a drink at this pub, please please toast to the eagle and to the hind.

I was so disappointed with this restaurant. When I ordered I was told it would arrive in 30 minutes. I waited 1hr 10mins for the delivery and when it arrived it was stone cold. I called the restaurant who advised to give it back to the driver and they would send another ASAP. She apologised and said she would send some extra bits to compensate. When the second order arrived the only compensation I received was a dip!!! I ordered a lamb Shish and a portion of hummus (only 2 pieces of bread) came for the whole order. It was also warm (not hot) the lady on the phone couldn’t have been less interested. This just isn’t normal service from this restaurant but it has put me off from ordering again

We have been collecting Fish & Chips from The Bakers Arms since the start of Covid which has always been fantastic. Tonight on the recommendation of my son, we went and ate in and oh my god, I didn’t think it could get any better but it was amazing. Can’t believe that not having to unwrap them would make such a difference. Well done #TeamBakersArms. Sorry no photos as was too hungry.

Best pizza in Chelmsford in my opinion and the coolest pizza place name.

Always a fantastic place to meet. Food and service excellent. The cakes look fantastics! I must take some away with me next time.
