The best restaurants in Broomfield and The Walthams Chelmsford East of England

Myself and my niece had the most amazing roast dinner today at the Hub. It was absolutely delicious. It’s such a friendly place, very unique with great food, staff and service. Highly recommended.

We had a wonderful lunch at Cheerful Chai. It was relaxing and the food and service were fantastic. The food was freshly cooked and hot. The menu was great. Most importantly, the cakes all looked delicious and tempting!! I selected the carrot cake, which was lovely, but I was tempted to go back for more!! (I resisted, because I was full!). We didn’t feel in any way rushed, even though it was busy and near to closing time. Cheerful Chai is a great asset for Broomfield, although I’m quite sure people travel here from further afield.

We went to the Bee hive just after they had reopened under new management. It was on Friday 6 of January. To our surprise they had a music act on. The singer was great covering all types of songs. From 70s to up to date. We left very late and very happy. In fact so happy we decided to return Saturday night only to find that they had another live act. He was again a very good singer and made all feel very welcome. Staff so nice and by the end of the night just knew what we were going to order. Very cosy and with a warm feeling. We will be back and just can’t wait.

Good end to a local walk and place to meet friends.The Stores is open for coffee, snacks/ cakes/brunch etc with a healthy menu. Friendly staff who allow you lots of relaxation time and good service. Always a very nice atmosphere but can be busy around lunch times.

Excellent accommodation, the rooms are very clean, fresh & warm and all the facilities are in good working order. The pub has an extensive food menu and a good selection of real ales.

Had a lovely late lunch here. Cosy fire on in the bar so it was lovely and warm on a miserable day. Food was fresh, hot, tasty and homemade. Staff were really friendly and atmosphere was good. Would definitely visit again.

i was sat outside in the garden for barbeque and there was not a good selection, the chips were raw and the burgers were cold. serice was okay but when we told them about the food they never returned.the atmosphere was okay there was music and a kids area. and was not aloid to park in the parking spot

We have our annual Christmas drinks here. This year we had a spot of food too. Not a good time to eat for me personally, but I took a soup of the day, the tomato chilli soup and it was very good. They also welcome dogs on leads here, although I didn't have my dog with me on this occasion he has plenty of space to lay down and have a bowl of water.

Having booked for a friend for her retirement gift we booked a table for today. It we great from start to booking the table to actually leaving earlier this afternoon. The staff were polite and friendly. We had afternoon Tea booked and our reservation was set. We were brought more than enough savoury and desserts. All was very nice and filled us up for the rest of the day. Would definitely book again.

I was served by a young girl named Libby, a very lovely bartender, made for a very pleasant experience

Nice cafe with good selection of cakes as well as sandwiches, salads and savouries. Very good pain au chocolate and decent coffee. Service polite and friendly

Amazing Sunday Dinner with really excellent service, such friendly staff. Myself and my two children all had the Combo Sunday Dinner, which meant a decent portion of each of the meats. Veg was lovely, especially the red cabbage and there was a nice selection of everything, without too much of just one thing...which I liked. Room left for the best apple and apricot crumble I've ever eaten! Going back for sure! P.S. I didn't use them but my son said the toilets were the best he'd seen!

Called in on the off-chance. Lovely people. Although they had lost their chef the day before, they were doing their best to make sure everyone was fed. We had ham egg and chips which was very nice. They also had a walking group in, and were expecting a darts team in the evening. I wish them well. They deserve to succeed. 😊

We have been back to The White Hart quite a few times since I posted this review. We have had excellent meals every time. Todays meal 20/11/24 was truly excellent. The moules marrinaire were absolutely delicious. The skate was enormous and delicious. My wife's cod was also a really generous portion and delicious. Again the whole experience was first class. A spur of the moment decision to try The White Hart on a wednesday lunchtime for the first time. What a lovely place to eat and relax, really friendly and welcoming staff. From the initial phone call to book to being served we were looked after by Olivia she was absolutely brilliant. Friendly, funny and really attentive. We had Skate and Cod with chips as our main courses with tempora prawns as a starter. All of the food was really nice, delicious good sized portions and piping hot. Really reasonable prices. 2 drinks 2 starters and 2 mains for £45 ! Really good value and will definitely be returning. It was a really pleasant experience and judging by how busy the place was a lot of other people thought so as well.
