The best restaurants in South Woodham-Elmwood and Woodville Chelmsford East of England

Super street food, quality ingredients, served with a smile... What's not to like? 👍🏻 Happy to recommend and will be ordering again.

Honestly the best pizzas we’ve had! Lovely dough, so many toppings to choose from from. Can’t wait to order again

Have visited several times and it’s a firm favourite of mine. Can’t book but the queue goes relatively quick as there are a lot of tables inside. Favourites of mine have been the soup and sandwich and the egg baguette. So many choices of cakes, best one to date has been the Bakewell cake plus there are several vegan options. Only small niggle is the hot drinks are small for what you pay and also don’t keep hot in the earthenware crockery.

I visited with my family for a birthday dinner, and unfortunately, the service was not up to the standard we usually receive here. We were the only table in the restaurant, yet our waitress (a blonde lady) seemed more interested in her phone than attending to us. When our mains arrived, our glasses were empty, but she didn’t ask if we wanted more drinks, missing an opportunity to sell a bottle of wine. Additionally, she didn’t check back a few minutes later to ensure everything was okay with our food, which is a pretty standard part of good service. The food itself was as nice as usual, but three of the meals were served on cold glass plates, causing the food to also go cold quickly. This was a small but noticeable detail. On our way out, my mum politely shared her disappointment about the service, hoping it could be taken as constructive feedback. Unfortunately, rather than apologizing or addressing the feedback professionally, the waitress made a disrespectful face at her colleague behind the bar (who normally does serve) as soon as my mum turned away. This lack of professionalism aggravated me and prompted me to write this review. This has always been a local place we’ve enjoyed, but tonight’s service was far from what we’ve experienced before. If more attention was paid to customer service, the restaurant might not be so empty on a Thursday night.

We have been to Elachi multiple times now. We love the food and the service is great! Biryani, Naga Chicken and railway beef are excellent. Decor is also very pleasant. Highly recommend.

Made our regular visit to Chilli’s and as always excellent service and great food. Kam and his team are very friendly, welcoming and professional. We’ve been very very many times and never had a poor meal or service in fact every visit is amazing. This is our regular go to restaurant locally especially with the very varied choices of dishes. The best Indian restaurant we know. Definitely recommend and will be returning

Food is always good here, reasonable quality , place is clean and staff friendly, does what it says on the side of the tin- it’s a cafe. BUT - spoilt by noisy uncontrolled children, why do the parents think it’s ok for them to express themselves in scream, shout, drop food on the floor- I would hate to see the state of their homes. Teach the kids to use knife and forks, not fingers. No wonder kids have no respect. Albeit not Munchies fault, but they have to contend with clearing up the mess. So well done here!

There was 4 of us went for an early dinner on a Thursday. Cheeseburger for 2 of us (more chips in a dish as well as on the plate ) & the other 2 had pie. Both meals were absolutely delicious. Cooked as requested and served piping hot. Only downside was unfortunately the lack of fruit juice on offer at the bar but I’m sure that’s something that will be sorted. When we came to settle our bill we were told that because we were all over 60 we all got a very generous discount which was totally unexpected but was a great surprise. Many thanks for a lovely dinner. We will be back

We ordered Kebab with salad and chips. Food was good, the kebab ideally needed more time on the spitfire. Nice chilli sauce, didn’t like the garlic mayo though. Service was good, although they forgot to put pickle chilli, overall good! 4 out of 5

We absolutely love this Chinese restaurant, the app is a great way to order and you can earn loyalty point's and get money off your order. Great food, large portions and excellent service.

Nice friendly pub. Staff very welcoming and plenty of choice. Did not eat there so cant comment on food.

Most of the food was inedible, really disappointed as I usually always order from here! The spring rolls smelt rotten, the crispy beef had about four pieces of beef in it, the chicken balls was salty and the squid was even saltire! Poor!

First time ordering and it was absolutely lovely!

Lovely little pub. Nice food and drink. Quick service They even let you bring the dog.

Went as part of a group of 18 to celebrate a 60th Wedding Anniversary. Wine list was on table so ordered two bottles of Prosecco and a bottle of Chilean white. Was brought a bottle of champagne which I explained was not what I had ordered. I was then told they only had two bottles of Prosecco, one of which was a Rose. Next my bottle of white wine arrived but it was not what I had ordered. I expressed my dissatisfaction with the situation and was told that a recent change of ownership meant that some of the wines listed were no longer available. I said that really was not acceptable. Why on earth put the wine lists on the tables if they know that many of the wines are not actually available. I was then offered some bottles of wine to choose from. One of the bottles offered to me was a Chenin Blanc which is the ASDA Extra Special Chenin Blanc retailing for £7 in the local ASDA store less than a 100 yards from the restaurant. I believe that it is a potential breach of their alcohol licence to sell bottles of wine bought from a local supermarket. I also think that ASDA would not be happy if they knew their wine was being sold in a local restaurant. Whilst all this was going on nobody bothered to ask us if we were ready to order our food - my wife had to go and ask somebody to come and take the order. A lady, who I presume is the manager, kept a very low profile whilst all this was going on instead of taking charge of the situation. Later during the meal I was told that they had "found" two more bottles pf Prosecco. Will never return to this place for a dine in meal.
