The best restaurants in Moulsham and Central Chelmsford East of England

Great little cafe for a bacon sandwich or breakfast. Ladies ate very quick

Ordered for the first time yesterday on Deliveroo and was pleasantly surprised. Definitely one of the best jollof and plantain meals I’ve had. Arrived fresh and hot. Had to order again today. Many thanks

This restaurant is mind blowing!! The food is a 10/10 everything was so delicious sounding! I got the lamb shank and it was delicious. The Appletini cocktail was also beautiful and highly recommend! Mohamed and Amanda were amazing servers.

Absolutely wonderful place, would highly recommend

Shocked and disgusted by this restaurant... The portion size was shocking for the amount paid and the staff did not care... Food is below average and customer service falls far below that also.

Excellent friendly staff and always greeted with kindness and just lovely place to eat and always very relaxed

We waited 40 minutes for our food, and not once did the staff think to mention the ridiculous wait time when we ordered. After 30 minutes, he finally strolled over to casually let us know they were out of rice noodles and they hadn’t even started preparing our food. The food is mediocre at best and overpriced too. £12 for a bowl at a market stall with no heating. That’s almost restaurant pricing. At least you could get some warm and a glass of tap water there. Save your money and your time. This place is not it.

Excellent unlimited Japanese buffet especially if you have kids under 155cm in height! We’ll be back.

I love coming here, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming and the drinks are incredible. I've still yet to taste my way through the menu!

Loved this restaurant Christmas day dinner was lovely would definitely go back again

Went there for a meal for hubby's birthday. There were 5 of us. Spent about £200. Asked for them to sing Happy Birthday which they obliged but never happened. Atmosphere felt a bit flat.

Certainly! Here’s a strongly worded negative review for The United Brethren: I had an absolutely awful experience at The United Brethren. From the moment we walked in, it was clear that customer care is the last thing on their minds. The staff were indifferent at best, barely acknowledging us, and any requests we made were met with eye rolls or sighs. The service was painfully slow, and when our food finally arrived, it was lukewarm and underwhelming. But the worst part? The landlord. In all my years of dining out, I have never encountered someone so shockingly rude and unprofessional. Rather than creating a welcoming atmosphere, he seemed to go out of his way to make customers feel like an inconvenience. When we politely raised a concern about our meal, his response was dismissive and borderline hostile. It’s one thing to have a bad meal—it’s another to be treated with absolute disdain. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. There are plenty of better pubs out there where you’ll actually be treated with basic decency. Avoid The United Brethren unless you enjoy being made to feel unwelcome.

Unfortunately we had a very bad experience at Queenies. My friends and I had booked a table only to be told after sitting (and only half of us ordering drinks) that they were too busy so we're putting a hold on both food and drinks orders for an unknown amount of time - the other half of the table were not allowed to order drinks either. We had an extremely long wait before taking our food order (40mins) and then another long wait for the actual food to arrive which all came out separately -two of us had almost finished eating before the rest of the meals came out. Then we were given 3 forks and one knife for 6 of us! We had to ask three times for more cutlery. They asked if we wanted sauces but we weren't given the mayo until we had almost finished so it was pointless even bringing it by that point (and this was after we asked again for it). Allergen wise, the place was shocking. I do not eat meat, yet found a bit bacon or ham in my meal. I fed back to the chef but wasn't given an apology. One member of our party was vegan - the menu has zero vegan options. She had to ask 4 times for the menu items to be checked after they tried to substitute her with a vegetarian sausage (which was not vegan). The bill was also incorrect. The food was actually nice when it arrived, hence the two stars. Everything else was sadly a shambles and we won't be returning.

The food at this restaurant is amazing however the service is very poor unless you are clearly a "regular" . We had a table for two booked, we were sat in the tightest corner right by the toilet where they had managed to just about squeeze a table in, and you could just about wedge your legs in and I am under 5ft! We ordered our food, and a bottle of wine, and I asked for some water too. The wine came, eventually but I had to ask for water 4 times before eventually we were bought two luke warm tumblers of water, whilst the "regulars" on the next table were bought at least 2 jugs of cold iced water while we waited parched in our squashed corner... You can't service your "regulars" and ignore everyone else....we won't be returning anytime soon...

I had a proper dinner with lamb ribs, some cold and hot mezes, a couple of beers. Paid £34 and worths every penny. You can taste the high quality ingrediants when you keep eating.
