The best restaurants in Chelmsford East of England

I walked in off the street and was met with a lovely greeting from the owner and staff. I sat at a table and was immediately made to feel welcome. There was a good atmosphere and everyone was friendly. The food was delicious and the coffee too. I must say I was full up by the time I left. I would recommend Starvin' Marvin to my friends.

A super friendly and inclusive craft beer bar, offering 18 taps of incredible craft beer - some brewed by Radio City Beer Works themselves, and others brought in or imported by other incredible breweries! The bar also offer locally distilled spirits, a great selection of wines and ciders too! A small bar which utilises the space incredibly, manages to pull off some brilliant live music shows of various genres, as well as a huge variety of other events. 100% worth checking out and spending some time trying an incredible selection of drinks, enjoying the forever rock playlist and soaking up the lovely vibes. Keep doing what you're doing, guys!

Never open. Waste of time bothering to drive there

Amazing food, great service, overall experience was exceptional! Will come back again again. The staff are very friendly and welcoming.

Had a very pleasant Sunday family gathering here (24/9/23). The live rock covers band added to the party and thankfully our table was deliberately reserved for us away from the band as we had a small toddler with us who slept through the music. The staff were friendly and very attentive and the relaxed atmosphere made the selection of hot and cold tapas very tempting. All my family thoroughly enjoyed their dining experience and we shared a considerable chunk of the menu. As most of the food is authentically imported from Spain a few items were unavailable but we were expertly guided to suitable alternatives. I wanted authentic, good quality tapas in a genuine Spanish style restaurant and that is exactly what we got! I have no complaints,so thank you El Chigre 2, we will be back soon!!

Everything is great about the Pitta. Loved the taste and the way it was made.

Recommend by a friend, was skeptical, but super impressed with the quality, flavour and value. Would highly recommend.

Honestly the best pizzas we’ve had! Lovely dough, so many toppings to choose from from. Can’t wait to order again

Fab. Really friendly service, great breakfast, we cleared our plates. Some main meals on the menu. Definitely recommend.

Stunning food, found the gem last week, chef is amazing

I was at a cycling event this weekend with Anne’s Pantry serving food all day. Anne was lovely to deal with and the food was great. An amazing alternative to a generic burger van. Can highly recommend them as I had 5 meals from them over two days, all delicious and served with a smile and friendly chat.

A great space for creativity, relaxing and grabbing a coffee. They also run various events throughout the year, and the location is almost directly outside the train station and is easily accessible from the centre of town also.

This cafe provided afternoon tea for our group of approximately 18 children who were attending the Chelmsford escape rooms one weekend. I made the booking via the escape rooms and on the day, we were taken care of by the cafe staff, especially Justine. We hired the board room on the premises so as not to clog up the cafe due to our numbers. The platters, including sandwiches and wraps were fresh and very tasty and their service was 1st class.

On a wednesday its roast day when it's not the festive menu and it is such a delicious meal and very reasonably priced x would totally recommend a visit x

Ordered burgers and Lamb shank Delicious burgers with two patties in each burger. Lamb shank was nicely cooked and well seasoned.
