The best restaurants in Chelmsford East of England

Fabulous sandwich, which we shared, also excellent quiche. We will go again ASAP! We want to try the rest of the menu, but also the garden centre had a really good selection of house plants

three times that I have been here . Visiting from Danbury. Not far that's for sure. First let's start on the fish . It is very good quality. Had cod twice and on the third occasion had a middle skate. All time the fish was very good. Batter little thick . Now this is the bad points three occasions the chips looked like they were in needing some more time in the fryer. And every time they are cold and just poor quality . Then on two occasions had the curry sauce and if I was looking for a good wallpaper paste then I've just found it. And again cold . Then to add more problems to the meal. Walking out to the car the paper carrier bag handle broke with the bag on the floor. If I was the owners I would look at these problems and try the chips and other items. And listen to the customers. You have good fish but lack the finishing parts to make great fish meal . Good luck

This was such a great find, an absolute amazing Sunday Carvery - the staff are all friendly and the lovely lady who runs the place was so helpful, you can tell she puts her heart and soul into it and is passionate about doing things properly, everything homemade and little touches which made everything delicious! The best roast potatoes I've ever had, you could honestly just have a bowl full of those on their own, don't know how they get them so crispy and fluffy! As others on here have said, the cauli cheese also went down well, great cheesy sauce and skin on top, yummy! We are not from the area, but will definitely be returning for the Sunday carvery again next time we visit, it was absolutely top notch!! Thanks so much we loved it 😁

What is the obsession with mustard. Mustard in both my ham and cheese toastie and a pigs in blanket roll? Doesn’t make any sense to me. Mustard is a commonly liked sauce so I don’t understand why pret covers everything in it. Both my meals would have been really nice if they hadnt of been covered in mustard.

We went here for lunch and sat in the lovely garden, which is decorated with teacups lovely plants benches and white tables. Staff were friendly and the food was lovely we had the brunch bagel 🥯 and an ice coffee. Just be careful when digging into the bagel as the poached egg yolk went everywhere- but this is a sign of a great egg. Drinks were also lovely. Would defo go back. They also have a gorgeous private function room with music defo worth looking into.

3 piece's of tinny chewy lamb in my curry, all sauce not meat, and u pay more for lamb. No mushrooms in the mushroom rice either, jokers

Dreadful pub. AVOID. Awful bar staff - no customer service and toilets are a hovel ! Far better pubs in the area. Do yourself. Favour and try any other pub !

I shop regularly here and food is great but the customer service has dropped dramatically i tried telephoning through an order and got cut off twice then the person who i was speaking to decided to start taking another order from someone inn the shop i found this really rude. I will not be going back as bad service has made me not want to go back

Fantastic menu and top quality food. Had a whole Octopus which was amazing. The Service was very attentive and friendly. Dog friendly too. We will be back!

First time here, pizza was amazing, who knew pear and blue cheese belong on pizza! Sasha was an absolute star and looked after us all night - nothing was too much trouble. Thank you

Delicious ! Everything was so flavoursome generous portion sizes highly recommend Kow boa. Friendly staff

Friendly staff, too small for the size of hospital & the menu needs a look at. I felt visiting family at the hospital for a week, meant the menu was too much of the same type of food. Aside from this, meals were available from Marks&Spencer but there was no where to heat them up.

We saw some interesting wooden beams above the counter, And cakes and bread , items that looked amazing on the counters. We had our puppy with us and asked if dogs were allowed to sit under the table in the corner of the shop. “Yes of course but take her upstairs” we were told. Wow a hidden gem….. Upstairs was wonderful ( we later found out) the building was 16th century and had a large white painted beamed restaurant with clean lovely wooden tables and the owner who could not do enough to make our visit special. The food was different from other places was wonderful. Our dog was made a fuss of as much as us. A hidden special place that needs more visitors to expierence what we did.

Brilliant soft play, have been multiple times. Staff are very helpful and the facilities are clean and appropriate for young children. A very pleasant place to spend time. Very well judged menu and great coffee!

We decided to try this take away after seeing it in the ratings in the Essex Chronicle. We were definitely not disappointed! We have tried virtually every Chinese in Chelmsford and have finally found what we have been looking for - great food, served hot at reasonable prices!! Will be our regular point of call from now on and would recommend to everyone 😊😊😊
