The best restaurants in Chelmer Village and Beaulieu Park Chelmsford East of England

This cafe provided afternoon tea for our group of approximately 18 children who were attending the Chelmsford escape rooms one weekend. I made the booking via the escape rooms and on the day, we were taken care of by the cafe staff, especially Justine. We hired the board room on the premises so as not to clog up the cafe due to our numbers. The platters, including sandwiches and wraps were fresh and very tasty and their service was 1st class.

Lovely food a1 special kebab for myself and Donna and cheesey chips! Not rushed and burnt was slow cooked so I had to wait but we'll worth the wait as was soft meat and tasty Not dry as rushed great food and service happy helpful staff definitely recommend 😊

Waited ages, people chatting and ignoring me, I was the only person in the queue in a quiet cafe. Finally left with no coffee after waiting 5 mins plus - pretty rubbish

We sometimes stop here when we are about to go on our travels to get a decent coffee , the staff have been there for years and are really pleasant it’s not a sit down although there is a table you could stand at .

Thank you so much everyone who looked after us today

Fast and tasty food for a great price. Great place to go for quickly, easy sit-in lunch.

Arrived quickly and was very tasty, will be ordering again

three times that I have been here . Visiting from Danbury. Not far that's for sure. First let's start on the fish . It is very good quality. Had cod twice and on the third occasion had a middle skate. All time the fish was very good. Batter little thick . Now this is the bad points three occasions the chips looked like they were in needing some more time in the fryer. And every time they are cold and just poor quality . Then on two occasions had the curry sauce and if I was looking for a good wallpaper paste then I've just found it. And again cold . Then to add more problems to the meal. Walking out to the car the paper carrier bag handle broke with the bag on the floor. If I was the owners I would look at these problems and try the chips and other items. And listen to the customers. You have good fish but lack the finishing parts to make great fish meal . Good luck

We decided to try this take away after seeing it in the ratings in the Essex Chronicle. We were definitely not disappointed! We have tried virtually every Chinese in Chelmsford and have finally found what we have been looking for - great food, served hot at reasonable prices!! Will be our regular point of call from now on and would recommend to everyone 😊😊😊

I like coming here mainly to watch the car park carnage from above it's funny watching idiots driving up the wrong way only to confront someone trying to leave the right way then arms start flapping. I normally have a big breakfast which overall is OK for the price but I always get guts ache after. I'm sure they scrape left over food onto your plate but who knows. I have always found the staff polite but also as other people have noted sometimes they don't have everything. I like that it's normally quiet there too maybe again it has something to do with the quality of the food.

Really great food recommended the lamb and turkey. Really busy but got a table. Gary is the manager and runs a tight ship.

Food was good, Amy served us and was very friendly and helpful. I would definately come back. The atmosphere was friendly but quiet, even for a Friday.

This KFC is becoming more disorganised. Service is poor and the waste area was a mess. Looks like staff had not sorted it for hours. Tables were dirty and sticky.

Absolutely alfull breakfast Stone cold and under cooked bacon. Sent it back and they warmed it in the microwave and brought it back even the toast which was then soggy NEVER AGAIN

We come in here all the time and it’s always been pretty good. Last week though I had to return my coffee as it was cold which they happily replaced. This week they brought our hot drinks over and I then had to request the cakes we’d ordered which they’d forgotten. The girl did grab them but I had to go and find her as I’d ordered cream for my scone which was missing. I politely requested it and got a filthy look as she was so busy chatting to colleagues. She brought it over and slammed it down on the table and stormed off like it had been my fault she’d not brought it and I’d interrupted her socialising!! A bit of retraining required I think!!
