The best restaurants in Rettendon and Runwell Chelmsford East of England

First time at Taz and it was lovely, the manager and staff were very friendly and welcoming, just attentive enough to make sure you had enough drinks and on hand if you needed anything, the food was delicious. We had the table for a birthday and we didn’t feel rushed to leave, and the staff brought up the dessert with a candle and stopped to join us embarrassing my friend with the happy birthday song :) Decor is lovely and warm, tables set far enough apart that you didn’t feel on top on one another. Would definitely eat here again, felt very comfortable and like we mattered as customers.

What a beautiful meal. We came here for my birthday dinner. The complimentary breads and dips are lush, bread is really warm with fresh chilli sauce and yogurt. We got the mixed hot starters, such good quality food. Prawns were delicious. I then got a mixed shish, I don’t know where they get their meat from or what they do to it prior to cooking but I’ve never had such soft, tender and flavorful meat, both the lamb and chicken were amazing. Service is great, lovely waiter. Drinks came in a few minutes if that. It is on the more expensive side but I’d definitely say it’s worth it. Lovely evening! Thank you

Staff are rude food is good but ruined by the rudeness of how they treat there customers

Great bar and staff, highly recommended

Food was exceptional great taste Staff were brilliant couldn’t do enough Will definitely recommend to family and friends Top notch team and great place

Me and bf decided to come here for lunch after a good day browsing and for our first time there it’s was excellent I had the bacon sandwiches along with salad and crisps and my bf had the sausage chips and egg meal and both our meals were delicious The staff and waitress were great and we had excellent service Overall me and my bf had a great meal and a great view of BattlesBridge on the top floor Completely recommend if your in the area or after a good day browsing at BattlesBridge Solid 5/5

In the afternoon, stopped here for a toilet break & cuppa, would go back to try their yummy menu. the food looked delish :)

Being the festive season, we went along to see the Christmas display. This year they had changed the layout, etc., and it was even better than before, with a lot more space, even more stalls, and delicious German market-style food!

An excellent evening, with delicious food .. beautifully cooked by Adam. Waitress Liza was attentive without hovering. I really enjoy this venue.

I first visited for Sunday lunch, and it was absolutely delightful. The beef was perfectly tender, accompanied by fresh, flavorful vegetables and roast potatoes that tasted just like my mum's! The staff were warm, friendly, and provided service with a genuine smile. It was such a great experience that, in the words of Arnie, "I’ll be back!" And I did return—this time for a musical bingo night. What an incredible evening! The atmosphere was buzzing, the event was brilliantly organized, and everyone seemed to be having a blast. It’s not just a place for a great meal but also for fun and memorable experiences. Highly recommend this gem, whether you're after a delicious meal or a fantastic night out!

Another amazing night for bottomless pizza at Heidi’s!! Girls are so lovely, pizza was delicious, vibes were great! Can’t wait for next time

Usually meet there once a month 12 men all old workmates. Always comes up to scratch. They also take Blue light card(result)👍👍

Had a wonderful family afternoon tea last Saturday. Easy to book, staff were quietly efficient, friendly and attentive. Food was excellent and more than enough. Highly recommended in a lovely setting.

Had a lovely meal with excellent first class service. Billy (the waiter) was incredibly helpful and polite. What a lovely place!!!

Had a great Bell burger and beer was lovely. Due to change hands soon. Will see what happens, but for good pub grub and cool real ales you can't go wrong.
