The best restaurants in Chelmsford East of England

The best Pizza express restaurant and I have to say we keep returning all because of one lady, Sandie (the one that offers pepper) we’ve been in a few times, (we own a pub locally) always the service is exemplary. Drinks and food order taken very swiftly, but always takes the time to check how we are and have been. Table was booked for 7.30pm on 23.12.24. Food was amazing as always, and although the team appeared to be having a challenging night, they remained professional throughout. Sandie her bubbly self. Constantly checking on tables and on us. Nothing was too much trouble. Merry Christmas to all. We highly recommend.

We went to this restaurant for Sunday lunch .We both opted for roast beef and this came with the usual trimmings. We ordered an extra Yorkshire pudding but had we known how HUGE they were we wouldn't have ( They quite literally take up half of your plate )and also cauliflower cheese which was delicious but pricey at £7 . The lunch in general was OK but that's it..The meat was tough and very overdone (shame they don't offer a pink option ) The roast potatoes were awful quite obviously frozen and the veg was hard and very undercooked ..The Yorkshire pudding was lovely as was the cauliflower cheese but the rest was below average..we had to keep asking for more horseradish as it came in a teeny teeny tiny pot ..I had 2 to myself and could have done with 2 more and my husband wanted much more gravy .Our bill for a bottle of prosecco , 2 beers ,1 coffee and our meal came to £103. The service was good although we did wait a long while for a dessert menu .It was a pleasant busy atmosphere but pricey for what it was . We wouldn't go back .

1st time here, food was lovely, service was great especially from Zac ,atmosphere in this pub was great, and made a very enjoyable evening

So I ordered food from here last night at 9pm the order didn't arrive until 10. I ordered 1 big tasty meal with bacon 1 big mac 1 happy meal for my child all as well as a chicken share box with some free nuggets that came with the order. The fries were stone cold, the burgers were horrific, and the drinks were spilt in the separate bag the next day [today]. I am now suffering from diarrhoea. Inexcusable.

The Ivory Peg is a must when I am in Chelmsford. Excellent value. Good food and great guest beers. A good atmosphere and good service.

Great food, really friendly staff and the atmosphere is also good.

Great chicken shish at great prices!

Food was lovely delivery fast salad was lovely and fresh

These guys make excellent coffee as well 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Lovely atmosphere, good service and great food. We will definitely return. The garden looks beautiful too despite the rain!

There is nothing redeeming about this chicken establishment which inhabits the dark voids that exist between time and space where you may or may not possibly eat something resembling tasty or of any real value. The wings are one of the worst in Chelmsford and are at the same / similarly priced as premium brands (KFC Wingstop, Popeyes) if you are not absolutely battered at 12-2am and there is literally no alternative available to fill your yearning booze ridden stomach then eat here, otherwise avoid like herpes. I only give 1 star as the peri mayo is passable.

Great prompt service. Dish was delicious.

Had an amazing Sunday roast! The gluten free options and staff awareness of the menu is fantastic. They made the ordering so easy. Will definitely be going back.

Very disappointed every time I order.

This store needs closing down. Staff are rude, you can never get through on the phone, and the average delivery time has been between 1 & 2 hours, which is an absolute disgrace. Fed up of receiving cold food, let's face it. It's not cheap these days.
