The best restaurants in Chelmsford East of England

Best pub in Chelmsford, the staff are very friendly and the food is good.

Often pop for lunch this time was an event foe Christmas. A Rod Stewart tribute evening... with 2 coarse meal ... lovely and the staff are so helpful ... food large portions

Terrible service - was ignored for 15 minutes then took 20 minutes to get drinks that were just left on the bar - never had a dedicated server - seemed to be on a table between zones - wouldn't go back.

Recommend this hotel. All staff we encountered were very friendly, without exception. Husband chose cooked breakfast, but mushrooms had run out. Chef offered to bring some over to our table once cooked - exemplary service. Suggest your motto might be "going the extra mile is standard for us".

Met at this charming pub with some old friends for a little Christmas drinks gathering. One of my pals has been a regular for many years and I've been here numerous times myself. However, whilst enjoying the array of many different beers you have on tap I was physically and verbally abused by one of your staff!? So, to explain we'd been in for a couple of hours and were enjoying the hustle and bustle of a busy Saturday evening, along with many other like minded ale drinkers. We sat, chatting, laughing, drinking and getting a bit merry. The table next to us had just finished their drinks and headed out the door. So, without purposely trying to annoy someone I casually lifted my leg and rested my calf on the stall next to me. Nothing wrong with that you'd think? I am due for a knee op in the not too distant future and when sat in the same position for a while my knee tends to tighten up a bit so. I'd just momentarily rested my calf on the little stool next to me to loosen off the tension a little. Then, some aggresive bloke, with a bald head shoved my leg off the stool, got in my face and shouted something along the lines of "Get yer feet off! You're not at home now! Who d'ya think you are?" Wow!? I was shocked. And to add to it, when I tried to ask him why he was being so aggressive? He continued to act like a Sargent Major and kept talking over me? How rude!? He walked off and I called out "Hey!" He then came back at me and shouted "Don't say Hey to me!!" There was no way of reasoning with him and my friends were also having trouble understanding why he wouldn't explain to us why he had a terrible attitude and an aggressive manner to the people who are putting money in his pocket? I mean if had muddy boots and the underneath of my foot was on a stool I could understand, as a glass collector you may be slightly annoyed with me, making a mess of your tidy seating arrangement, but you politely ask me to keep my muddy feet down please, no? The guys behind the bar were true ladies and gentlemen! Every time we went up to order they were very helpful and allowed us to "try before we buy." So, being pushed and starting an argument with us is not the way to keep customers coming back is it? He needs to learn good etiquette and how to treat his customers with respect before he's let loose in the bar again. Because while he's there our drinking experience will be ruined if we return. And next time I may not be so polite to him..

Just had a drive through. Staff were too busy chatting and singing to get my order correct, or provide proper service. M all for a happy work force but my coffee was Tasteless and terrible service. Really disappointed.

When finally arrived put in bin was not hot ate somewhere else

Really disappointed in the food here. Menu was very limited and we were surprised by the prices. All options were fried food, with chips. £17 for cod and chips and it came right out of a freezer packet. Something I could have cooked at home for less than £4. Husband had a burger, which was more reasonable at 6.50, but imagine the quality. Bar tender is super friendly, and it's a cute pub, surrounded by a nice walk. Kitchen needs to seriously improve!!

Nice Irish bar,great staff,good beer,great atmosphere

Quality has deteriorated compared to my first time 6/7 months ago.Several times after that ,gradual worsening continued.Not going back again.

Very clean store, person took my Order was friendly and diligent and the drink was prepared quickly and correct to order. Had the Gingerbread Latte thoroughly recommend.

Had a cocktail making class and our host adam was amazing, great sense of humour and was very happy to answer all the questions we bombarded him with. The class was very fun and informative would recommend it to anyone. Adam recommended me a coconut tequila which was the best thing I have ever had so props to him 5/5

Had a wonderful family afternoon tea last Saturday. Easy to book, staff were quietly efficient, friendly and attentive. Food was excellent and more than enough. Highly recommended in a lovely setting.
