The best restaurants in Moulsham and Central Chelmsford East of England

I normally never make reviews but the staff and management really blew us away by how attentive they were with us and all of our guests. This past weekend we hosted my daughters 1st birthday in the upper floor and we could not be happier, we also got tons of compliments on the venue. Leading up to the event the staff was super communicative and helpful and on the day of they went above an beyond to service the whole party. Thanks so much Courtyard!!

Great friendly venue, good food at fair prices.

Beyond amazing service from the owner and her staff, beer was cold, dinner delicious and desert fantastic. Come by, you won’t regret it.

Restaurant/cafe Use regularly as normally nice and quiet....obviously not on a Saturday. Nice place to come for coffee and cake or light meal. Very good food. Top floor. A fair choice of food and drinks. Drinks machine could be hotter but hey ho. Not a life changing worry. Had to put review on here as staff who work here, particularly the younger staff are so polite friendly and cannot do enough to help, so they deserve a big shout out.

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.

What can I say, everything is really good. Especially Lacey. I would definitely come back. 11/10.

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

We had booked a table for 20:15, arrived at 10 past and was seated straight away. We noticed it was busy and there weren’t many staff. At 25 past someone said they’ll be with us in a moment. We walk out at 20:40 having been there for 30 mins and not even had our drinks order taken. The table next to us who had arrived before us ordered Prosecco for arrival, it was not there so they ordered it straight away. By the time we had left, there was still no Prosecco on the table. After having seen a couple of people complain throughout the restaurant we got up and left because we didn’t want to waste any more time or our money. This is such a shame as I’ve been once before and really enjoyed it. I felt bad for the staff because they were nice but were clearly over worked and overwhelmed. Hopefully this along with all the other bad reviews sparks awareness that there needs to be more staff on a Saturday night. Until then, I won’t be a customer.

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.

All round great service with a nice atmosphere and great food and coffee. I would recommend and choose over most of the coffee shops in chelmsford.

Always looked at this place never sure , but what a place I have been missing although I didn’t eat this time I was welcome by the staff and made very welcome the staff explain all the points of the restaurant and explained the happy hour times and what to expect on different nights so we will be using this place again dave and Chris rogers

Hadn't been here in awhile and was not disappointed my all day breakfast was amazing not greasy at all bacon and sausages were very good quality everything was perfect can not wait to go again. Thankyou kings cafe

My granddaughter wanted to come here for her birthday. This was really awful food. If you want quantity rather than nice tasty food then it’s ok . There is so much msg in the food . None of us ate hardly anything and ate when we got home . Expensive mistake.

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 😂😂
