The best restaurants in Chelmsford Rural West Chelmsford East of England

We visit the Pig and Whistle as often as we can as we love the varied menus available and the food is never less than impeccable. There is always a warm welcome from the owners and the staff, and the atmosphere is always very comfortable. A perfect restaurant for special occasions or a romantic meal for two. Honestly cannot recommend it highly enough.

Visited valentines times day and it was the best service food and atmosphere is second to none and I cant wait to return sad to see it is up for sale and hoping when it sells they can continue this

It was quite busy when we visited and very noisy. I had a chicken salad which was lovely and came without dressing as per my request. My family opted for the children's fish and chips that looked lovely but not so enjoyable. Expecting to get nice white fish like the adult version their fish was grey and mushy. The lady's toilets were out of order so we were asked to use the disabled toilet. That was an experience, it didn't flush. Disgusting. Would we go back I'm not sure.

I've wanted to go to this pub for ages. The reason being it was Keith flints pub. I was absolutely made up that I've photos of me outside which I'll frame. I do live far away so this has made my year being a big fan. I went inside and it was not what I expected. To be honest it has some nice charm to it. A real nice country pub. Prices are reasonable and the bar staff very friendly. I would recommend and would love to go back again.

Lovely surroundings and beautiful decor inside. The service was great, the food delicious, and good value too. I would recommend.

Nice country pub to enjoy a Sunday roast with friends, the fire was burning when we arrived which gave the place a homely and relaxing feel. The roast chicken was lovely, nice big Yorkshire pudding and a generous serving of 4 roast potatoes. However, the vegetables were very disappointing and let the overall meal down. For pudding we had an Eton mess meringue and chocolate brownie, both were very tasty. The service was a little slow at times but the place was busy (always a good sign) which would explain why. Also be warned the car park surface is terrible and not suitable for low cars or elderly / people with mobility difficulties.
