The best restaurants in Trinity Chelmsford East of England

Most fish and chip shops pre cook the fish to provide a faster service. Gold River however only cook to order. This ensures the batter is crisp and holds the fish in a golden, crunchy cocoon. I have used this shop for over 20 years and maintain it is the best in Chelmsford. The fish cakes are also something to be tried, almost have a home made quality to them. Still the best in Chelmsford Update: Still the best in the UK. Unfortunately Gold River is changing hands soon. The owners are struggling to pay the bills without passing on the price hike to customers. It will be a great loss to Chelmsford and for me. Here's hoping the new owners can maintain the high quality that has gone before them. A true black armband day. 😭😭

I have reviewed this wonderful place before for its friendly vibe and excellent real ales and cider. This time I decided to try the food while I was there. The menu is fantastic. It isn't a restaurant menu by a long way. Instead, it is a brilliant snacking size menu at decent prices. Freshly made, well thought out plates. Try the proper fish finger sandwich. Gordon Ramsay would be proud of that!

first time we have visited this harvester as a midway point and had a excellent experience. waitress Dee was very polite and helpful. our food came out quickly, tables kept clear, swept the floor after the kids, the food made by Sam was fantastic. very fast and efficient service and will certainly come back again.
