The best restaurants in Boreham and The Leighs Chelmsford East of England

We visited as a family for my dad’s 80th birthday celebrations for Sunday lunch. We had a fantastic table for 12 of us in a separate room but still felt very much part of the restaurant. The decor was lovely and the ambience and music made the day really special. The service was spot on, and the staff were really friendly. We all thoroughly enjoyed our food, starters were really nice and the Sunday roast was delicious. This is our second visit, and we will definitely be back. Would highly recommend.

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

Excellent value for money. Lovely friendly staff.

Visited over the holidays. Food was lovely and the staff couldn’t do more for you. We will be returning

Lovely local pub with great food

Tried the Dahl and it was very tasty and nice kick too it Looking forward too trying more! Delicious

It used to be a guilty secret but word is out just how good this place is. The just turn up policy seems to work and even on a Saturdaynight we were seated in seconds. No music just the sounds of clicking cutlery and happy customers chatting and envy the delicious food. This is first class quality food served with expertise that’s not poncy or small in portion. Reasonably priced and plenty of daily specials to choose from. Whoever runs this kitchen knows exactly what they are doing. Probably my favourite restaurant in recent memory.

Lovely venue with a great atmosphere , food was lovely everything came out on time and nice and hot, Ellie made our evening great, will definitely be returning

Poor service, got seated and it was 25 minute wait for drinks, followed by a 45 minute wait for starters, then a 45 minute wait for mains, food was cold when it did arrive. Wasn’t even that busy considering it was VD. Poor service skills, understaffed. Don’t mind if the food was good but it was very average at the least. Don’t usually moan at things like this but spending close to £100. I had the mixed grill, all meat was cold on service, starters was hot but tasted disgusting! Creamy mushrooms. The Turkish bread wasn’t Turkish bread, just normal loaf. There’s plenty of other Turkish restaurants we have been to and this is by far the worst. So I do not rate this place at all. Bad choice.

I’m a regular at The Castle. Sunday lunch. New chef. Food was amazing! Beef was perfect, roasties perfect, everything perfect. I’ll be back next week…

Just went there for a meeting. Easy to get to. Nice looking place.

Nice clean room friendly helpful staff

Had my husband's Wake there. We was looked after so well, especially Ray who was very nice actually all the staff were lovely. Went in 2 days later for evening meal with my son and his girlfriend, again Ray was lovely and all staff who was looking after us. Definitely recommend this pub and we will be going back
