The best restaurants in Chelmsford East of England

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

Such a shame its last day after more than a decade is 30 August. Staff charming and we wished them well for their futures. Food was excellent value. Hopefully the College will see fit to continue to provide similar going forwards. Adieu

Lush night at BiT. Fab service from Janet and Karen and food on point as ever!! Seriously cant better the value of this place and i dont just mean the prices

I visited last night with my husband and had a wonderful evening. The Royal Tiger has been there for 22 years, which given the challenges the hospitality industry has faced speaks volumes. I was a little bit apprehensive about a fusion restaurant, but we sampled both Thai and Indian and it was delicious. I particularly enjoyed the coco prawn (Thai) and lamb shank (Indian). They’ve got a great cocktail menu- we had a marg and a pina colada. They do a range of Asian beers too. The staff are super attentive and friendly, and I noticed that most of the customers appeared to be regulars. They have great events and a dance floor. Will definitely return for an event

Felt had to post! Have eaten at this Prezzos’s so many times over the years and consistently good. This afternoon walked in / hadn’t booked!……….They fitted us in!! Thank you! The service excellent and food - excellent value!. Well deserved praise and recognition. Cheers Prezzo x

Hadn’t ordered or gotten food from Robisons before as I am not local and when at my families house usually go to another fish and chip shop however many are not open in the village on a Sunday . We had a big delivery on Mother’s Day for my family (8 cod & 4 large chips I believe) was really lovely food arrived hot which was perfect to serve straight away . The lad delivering our food was really lovely and polite too ! Couldn’t recommend enough will definitely order again food was very tasty . :)

Excellent hotel & dining area. Friendly & attentive staff who work excellently as a team. Couldn’t fault the place !! We stayed there as a result of a burst pipe at our family home ( 3 weeks ) and couldn’t fault Tracy & her team who went the extra mile to attend to all our needs at a very stressful time in our life’s . The hospitality team are a great bunch of people who really look after the patrons and can’t do an enough for people . Also they do a mean Sunday roast ( highly recommended !!!)

My favorite Indian in Chelmsford. Always really good service by the staff. The chicken Korai is favorite dish………………..

Went as part of a group of 18 to celebrate a 60th Wedding Anniversary. Wine list was on table so ordered two bottles of Prosecco and a bottle of Chilean white. Was brought a bottle of champagne which I explained was not what I had ordered. I was then told they only had two bottles of Prosecco, one of which was a Rose. Next my bottle of white wine arrived but it was not what I had ordered. I expressed my dissatisfaction with the situation and was told that a recent change of ownership meant that some of the wines listed were no longer available. I said that really was not acceptable. Why on earth put the wine lists on the tables if they know that many of the wines are not actually available. I was then offered some bottles of wine to choose from. One of the bottles offered to me was a Chenin Blanc which is the ASDA Extra Special Chenin Blanc retailing for £7 in the local ASDA store less than a 100 yards from the restaurant. I believe that it is a potential breach of their alcohol licence to sell bottles of wine bought from a local supermarket. I also think that ASDA would not be happy if they knew their wine was being sold in a local restaurant. Whilst all this was going on nobody bothered to ask us if we were ready to order our food - my wife had to go and ask somebody to come and take the order. A lady, who I presume is the manager, kept a very low profile whilst all this was going on instead of taking charge of the situation. Later during the meal I was told that they had "found" two more bottles pf Prosecco. Will never return to this place for a dine in meal.

as always, got no complaints with delivery or food. would recommend

I've wanted to go to this pub for ages. The reason being it was Keith flints pub. I was absolutely made up that I've photos of me outside which I'll frame. I do live far away so this has made my year being a big fan. I went inside and it was not what I expected. To be honest it has some nice charm to it. A real nice country pub. Prices are reasonable and the bar staff very friendly. I would recommend and would love to go back again.

1st and last,, you have to que outside in the cold.. 15 people in front of us to order, que outside in the cold.. Madness, come up with a better idea, children, OAPs, not good at all.. Food was nothing special and not a great choice of home made cakes..

The food and service are exceptional, it’s a little on the pricey side but you get what you pay for, and this place is worth it. Good selection of good, including children’s menu and a varied selection of drinks, would return.

Hate to complain, but I was extremely disappointed when I paid £13.00 for 2 tiny chicken and bacon wraps. Must be new produce and ingredients used with the new management. As I remember the wrap being double the size firstly, and with freshly cooked warm chicken and bacon. Along with a huge Great hair that was wrapped up in the wrap, things like that make me feel really sick so of course I threw the whole thing away, even more of a waste of money. Perhaps staff need to wear hair nets as well as having their hair tied back. I used to love this place and I'd happily pay higher price for better quality.

Worst Service. I have always loved zinna and raved at how good the food and service is however we couldn’t even stay long enough for them to bring the food. The huge restaurant must have had around 10 other people in & still took asking 3/4 times over 40 mins where abouts our drinks were ( a cocktail & a beer ) they have completely different staff to when they open and it has completely ruined the dining experience. One member of staff a ( a young boy ) was running around doing 90% of the work whilst our waiter seemed to be actively avoiding us. The toilets … doors hanging off , 6/10 had skid marks & wee , sinks and sides were filthy … and based on how empty the restaurant was, they had been like that for a very long time. It’s so disappointing. If it’s under new management I do not know however it’s nothing like it used to be when it first opened & I cannot recommend saving your money & visiting another restaurant more
