Peter, sorry to read that writing and publishing several 5 star reviews about yourself on Trip Advisor didn’t work out well for you. Better luck next time chap.

We are so pleased that we chose this lovely little pub to celebrate our Golden Wedding Anniversary, together with a close family group. Right from when we first booked we have always felt very welcomed by their friendly and helpful management. Our guests all commented on how much they enjoyed their meals and how lovely and friendly the staff were. A big "Thank You" to Sue, Andy and The Ship staff for making our special occasion so memorable.

Very disappointing. Bought a Rotary watch for my son and it’s broken in under 6 months. Only worn daily and not during sport, John Lewis Chelmsford and Rotary are refusing to fix it despite clearly under warranty. The face spins round annd one side of the clasp is stuck. Neither problems are obviously faults & not caused through daily wear & tear. Appalling service. Buy a watch from elsewhere.

The Delivery driver was polite and it came quick enough which was fine. But just under £27 for two dishes? It was extremely over priced for what we received. The two dishes we ordered were the hot milk chocolate cookie dough (which tasted alright, nothing special - which it should’ve been at that price) And the “smoking sizzly sizzler brownie platter” which was an utter abysmal, absolutely terrible. It was like a mashed up broken cake, and for that price I’m absolutely gutted - I feel conned! I wouldn’t recommend those dishes 😂😂

This the cafe at the House. Dreadful tepid 'hot' chocolate. A veggie sausage roll warmed up in the microwave, so was soggy! Drippy waitresses that need to tie their hair up and try and wake up! We will not return!

Staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms leaving something to be desired, not a bad size, just not overly clean. Found a few stray hairs in the bathroom. And quite a few marks on the carpets in the corridors. Its worth paying the extra and just going to a Premier Inn.

Please please stay away the service is poor the food is below poor . Absolute waste of money and it was a special occasion asked to speak to the manager with the problems that we had. The answer was I’m only in employee. There’s many restaurants in Chelmsford spend your money elsewhere.

How disappointed we were I booked a table for 7 people at 11:30 and a further 7 people for 12 noon We were running the Chelmsford 10k and half marathon The 11:30 crowd arrived early and had breakfast The older lady in charge was very abrupt bordering on rudeness There were 2tables reserved for 12noon crowd which we suggested she gave up as people were waiting and we would go when the others arrived hence giving them our table I have subsequently heard that they were requested to leave as they had been sitting there from 11am and one lady was not allowed to finish her meal It was not just us who found her attitude rude but subsequent other diners not linked to our group I come into Small Talk when I visit Chelmsford but after this experience I shan’t visit again A very disappointed diner

My partner and I crossed wires, we both booked a table at the restaurant for Valentine's day! When we arrived the hostess didn't even greet us or look us in the eye, we tried to explain the mix up just to be told they would have to charge us a cancellation fee for the other table and add it to our bill... despite the restaurant being barely half full that night. My partner had booked the premium table and paid £30 in advance - add that to the cancellation fee of £30 they just told us they would charge and we're already £60 down for nothing... The hostess didn't know where to sit us! She seemed confused and just dumped us on a table. We were just seated on a table for 4... nothing special about it at all - complete con for £30 'Premium' table (which is not even deducted off your bill, by the way). It took a while for someone to take our drinks order. Then it took another long while for someone to take our food order. When we asked for the set menu, we were told it was not available. So we then needed more time to pick other dishes. Attempt number 2, the first dish we asked for we were told was also not available! Guests should be told when they are seated if something is not available to them on the menu - such a waste of time. As sushi does, it comes out whenever it's ready in the kitchen. We had order lots of small plates and the waiting staff would come over, hover over us waiting for my partner and I to move all the plates around on the table to make room while we were trying to eat - so unprofessional. When I asked the waiter what one of the dishes was, he looked confused, nervous and said "umm, I don't know, it's X I think" gave a small laugh and walked away. The sushi was OK, but the pork belly bites were hard and BURNT. The long waits and average food could be forgiven if the service was outstanding. But the staff are in desperate need of training, confidence and personable skills with guests. It's such a shame. It's a lovely venue and used to be great.

Went here with my family and had the most amazing food and service. The food was excellent. The sushi was fresh, presented well and plentiful. The cooked food was made to perfection. The service was amazing and it was very easy to get the attention of staff when needed. The staff was very attentive overall. A big shout out to the manager Alan, he done an amazing job in making sure we were happy with our orders. He has an excellent customer service and knows how to keep his customers happy. My family will definitely return and even my son wants to come back to have his birthday dinner here.

Went in to muffin break today not been in for few months couldn’t believe the price of the cakes slice how much it was over £5 a slice 3 coffee and 3 slice cakes nearly £29 a joke may be make slices smaller and price lower
