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

Wow Wow Wow their food is insane!! We had the roast sharing platters for £24pp and they were so worth the money! It wasn’t even just the food it was the service that came with it you feel part of there family being there. It was our first time here and definitely not the last we loved that Ruth and the team took their time to actually talk with us and checked up on us at every point they could. We cannot wait to come back Thankyou so much we left the hub very happy!

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.

Gorgeous pub that served pull pump bitter and cider.We arrived and was greeted by a young lady that helped with our bags to a courtyard room. The room was great and had a shower with underfloor heating.They arranged a taxi as we went to Chelmsford Races which cost £15 and was 6mins away. Lovely breakfast and we will be back.

Local pub with amazing staff and wonderful food ..

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

Lovely meal, lovely ambience, great service, tasty food. we went to celebrate my 30th birthday. was just what I wanted for my day.

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. 😊

Our second visit in three weeks and on both occasions, excellent food and amazing service from your professional and courteous staff, especially the young lady who accommodated a couple of our guests who were late and also the gentleman serving us your generous, hot and oh so delicious meals. Thank you so much, will be back soon
