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

My black Americano and toasted fruit bread was perfect. I was part of a group of eight on a Saturday and we were made welcome and had a comfortable, enjoyable visit. Will be going back this week.

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.

Absolutely fantastic experience with my Mother. Great food and wonderful attentive staff. Would highly recommend. Many thanks

Friendly, helpful staff, knowledgeable of their products, had a great takeaway lunch

Lovely food, I had the Advacado & Prawn salad Huffer, it was delicious 😋 Lots of choices on the menu. Great selection of well looked after real ales. Excellent friendly service. Lovely beer garden. All set in a beautiful countryside location. Would most definitely recommend a visit 👍 What more can I say ☺️

Went for open mic night. Great little place.

I visited Little Channels to try their valentines afternoon tea and was definitely not disappointed. A really affordable treat at only £25 per person (£5pp deposit required when booking). We were served an extensive selection of savouries which included a quiche, sausage roll, and sandwiches of coronation chicken, ham & cheese, and tuna & cucumber. The chicken one was served in focaccia bread which made a nice difference to traditional finger sandwiches that you usually get with afternoon tea. The scones were huge and warm so a good sign of being freshly baked! The sweet treats included a mini Victoria sponge cake, a heart shaped chocolate brownie and a chocolate covered strawberry. I feel like that was the perfect amount without getting too full. I feel like this was spot on for the money and both quality and quantity of food. The service was also the perfect mix of attentiveness and friendliness. Would recommend.

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

This was our first visit but often it had been recommended to us and we were not disappointed. The atmosphere and décor are lovely, staff are friendly and efficient and the food is lovely with an extensive menu. We had breakfast bagels and they were lovely and plentiful. We'll definitely return.

Excellent service and food. If not tried this restaurant its a must. Friendly atmosphere and lovely welcome. The food is exceptional and can taste the passion in the food. Also a good menu

Just had a lovely afternoon at the GGM - lovely food and service .

Such a lovely friendly country pub. However, the food has gone downhill recently and we were all disappointed with the quality, portion sizes and prices of the food. Such a shame as it used to be one of our favourite places.

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. 😊

Good food with a beautiful setting
