The best restaurants in Chelmsford East of England

Amazing, always look forward to my next visit. Great staff and great food

Wonderful country pub. Warm welcome, unrushed service and delicious food. Menu reflects bias toward excellent fish offerings. Good outdoor spaces and ample parking. Very much enjoyed and happy to recommend.

Great pub, friendly bar staff .

Nice food and even better service.

Service was very good and staff very friendly and efficient, haven’t been here for few years but glad we went back, food was good and hot, couple dishes sizzling beef and chicken and vegetables was bit bland but otherwise very nice especially Duck, lots to eat from set menus, so will definitely pick separate items next time, recommend

Great pub! Many interesting characters.

Absolutely amazing food, the ribs in particular were some of the best I have ever tried and really reasonably priced. The service was amazing and the ambience in the restaurant was perfect, definitely recommend!

Another level medispa are a brilliant team they were friendly and professional.. I got given the best skin treatment package to target my problem areas well...I would highly recommend this clinic where the service is great..

Found this lovely pub on our way to see a comedy show at Southend. The food was good quality and well cooked. The sever was very friendly and professional.

I’m a regular at The Castle. Sunday lunch. New chef. Food was amazing! Beef was perfect, roasties perfect, everything perfect. I’ll be back next week…

A great night at the bootmaker the other week, good drinks and food and a big thanks to Emily for great service too! An all round win :)

Came today for Mother’s Day and was wowed as soon as we walked in! The pub was decorated in gorgeous Mother’s Day decorations to make all mums feel special! The food was excellent - 5 courses for £40, and each cooked to perfection. Service was, as usual, first class. If you’ve not been here before, please try it. It’s our second visit and we’ll definitely be back. THANKYOU The Ship, this is how you run a great pub and restaurant!

An absolute gem of a pub that we found by accident after taking a wrong turn. We had checked out several nearby pubs which turned out to be offering ‘fine dining’. Which means £23 for fish and chips and they seat you before you can order a drink so everything goes on the tab and you feel obliged to tip like a restaurant. So after our wrong turn we found the next pub down the road and what a happy accident. A proper boozer with a great selection of beers - often you can’t find one decent IPA but the Woolpack had Neck Oil AND Level Head. Sophie’s Choice and not in a good way. But a proper boozer rarely has such an amazing selection of food. Apart from standard s like fish and ships they had shepherds’ pie, beef stew and also some of the more exotic pub food options such as ribs which are apparently massive. We got a chicken sharing platter of wings and tenders with a load of dips and some steak fries while we tried to decide what to order for maims, and there was so much food that we never went on to mains that we were so keen to try. All fresh and hot and served quickly. The landlady was very welcoming and busy running round doing everything. Icing on the cake was an unobtrusive classic 80s soundtrack. We will have to find an excuse for a return visit.. I bet Sunday lunch is amazing!

Always a banging meal! The Khazana is a real highlight 🤩
