The best restaurants in Chelmsford East of England

Had the best time celebrating with my mate, had a server called Abi she was fantastic super attentive, funny and up for a laugh 10/10

Great food and service and plenty to choose from

What a lovely coffee/breakfast/bruch place. We were greeted by a very nice server in a purple jumper. She was kind and curtious holding the door open on leaving. The coffee was wonderfull and of good quality. The food was fresh and nice. The toilet was clean and nice and a good size.

Really quick food was warm and nice

Having visited the Six Bells on many occasions we took the opportunity to book a Christmas dinner there this evening. We had phoned our pre order through but there was only 3 of us. After arrival we were shown to our table that didn’t have any decorations on it. We sat for literally two minutes when my sons starter appeared, I advised one of the staff that it was a Christmas booking and he came back with 3 crackers! But no other starters. I ordered a tonic water which arrived with no lemon either. My son finished his starter and staff went to clear his plate when I asked where the other two starters were. The staff member said we hadn’t ordered them? He then reappeared and said the orders were hidden so they weren’t seen by the kitchen. The two soups finally appeared a short while after. Main courses were served, salmon filet with cous cous and a tomato sauce, and two turkey roasts. There wasn’t much cous cous with the salmon which was over powered by the amount of tomato sauce on the plate. The roasts were average to say the least. One pig in blanket, the stuffing seemed wet and under cooked and there was hardly any gravy on the plate. No staff appeared to ask if everything was ok during the meal and no staff appeared to offer the bill when we had finished. We ended up paying at the bar. Total bill £113 which included a 10% service charge. The owner wasn’t on shift tonight and this seemed to reflect on the service received on this occasion. A real shame as previously mentioned we have eaten here on many occasions and have always enjoyed the dining experience. Hopefully it was a one off, but quite an expensive one sadly.

The meal we got was the worst slop I’ve ever seen. They need their chef to take lessons in how to cook. Never going there again and would recommend all avoid at all costs.

We will definitely go back in the new year.

We had a late family Boxing Day lunch today at 4pm 6 adults and 4 children - it was first class and the food was excellent

Food’s usually good and always thought decent quality, but last night it was awful. Hugely disappointed with the quality of the food. Weatherspoons serves better than what we experienced. Food sent back for being cold, and then again for an inedible steak. Ruined the whole experience. Staff were nice and did deal with it well but didn’t adjust the bill to reflect the poor experience we had.

Nice customer service nice food

Amy was fabulous thank you Amy! X

We all feel welcomed and by our local bar staff and our manager Pete who have made us all very welcome in a warm friendly pub. The Christmas lunch that was cooked by the kitchen team, including Sam and Alex was great!

Not really a nice hotel. The room was really hot which did not make for a comfortable night. Our view was a stone wall. I find the carpet old and lumpy and does not give a clean feeling. The chair in the room also had a blood stain on it, which is really disgusting. The breakfast is very cheap, the plates are so small that only 1 croissant fits on them.

Hit the jackpot lol. Ordered a muffin, sandwich and a latte. Had a call to say the muffin I chose was still being cooked. Was given the choice of ordering a different one or wait. I waited and got a warm muffin yum

Can’t recommend this place enough, first time for 4 of us today and will be booking again soon. Food was fresh and delicious and service was excellent!! Can’t wait to return, thank you
