The best restaurants in Waterhouse Farm Chelmsford East of England

Fantastic pre booked afternoon tea of cakes and sandwiches with plain scones . Originally booked for 4 people but extra person came as well and as we had let them know the day before it was sorted out fine. The food was lovely and so much for £12.95 a head. Service was excellent and very efficient. Would definitely book again.

I really want to like this place but feel the service is letting it down - although looking at other reviews, we might be an anomaly. We had reserved a table and ours was the last table free - a good sign. But after we had been seated, it took over 20 minutes for anyone to come to take our order, and even then it was only after we attracted attention. Obviously we could see that the restaurant was full, but the staff didn't seem like they were rushed or short-staffed, and were being very attentive to other tables around us. When we were placing our orders, we asked if the house wine - listed on the menu by the glass only - was available as a bottle, to which we were told it was. But when we asked for a bottle of the house red, the waitress said, 'Oh no, only rose or white.' Bit confusing and frustrating, but we were still able to order 2 glasses. After that service did speed up a bit and the food came out at a reasonable interval, beautifully presented and delicious. We decided we wanted to order a dessert, but once again we had to flag someone down to request a menu. I'm not sure if we were in a blind spot, or if there was a mix up over who was meant to be serving us, or that we booked for a bad time, but the service did mar the experience for us. The staff were all polite enough, but we felt forgotten and like we'd inconvenienced them when we drew their attention. It's a shame because the food is so good and the chef is so friendly, and clearly loves his work. I'm not going to say I'll never be back but I have been put off.

I was at a cycling event this weekend with Anne’s Pantry serving food all day. Anne was lovely to deal with and the food was great. An amazing alternative to a generic burger van. Can highly recommend them as I had 5 meals from them over two days, all delicious and served with a smile and friendly chat.

Needed a place to meet and share ideas with the option of food and light drinks, found this venue on the frontage of a business park being run by a father and son team, both being chefs, Noel took our order and then he set about preparing our drinks while his father Pete took to the kitchen and prepared our Buffett lunch, bearing in mind we had come in on the off chance of carrying out an emergency meeting, we were 100% looked after throughout the afternoon, with fresh coffee flowing and soft drinks along with some fantastic club sandwiches and freshly prepared hot plates of food, will be returning to this now newly discovered venue not far from the city centre and free permit parking for our vehicles while we were on site ...

Fantastic dinner here at Bartellas with a small group of friends. Waiting staff spot on, there when needed and in the background when you need some time.. Food was amazing, freshly cooked and even though we had a couple of ‘fussy’ friends, nothing was an issue. Restaurant of choice for us all and although we didn’t use this time, we will certainly use the hotel to make this a nice get away venue.. 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lovely food and drinks as usual, however they didn’t send my cinnamon bun, they sent a different item instead. Not sure if they accidentally put the wrong thing in or if they had run out of cinnamon buns (if this was the case it would have been nice to have been told this and allowed to choose my own alternative as opposed to them just putting in whatever they felt like!). But I’ve ordered from this branch several times and never any issues so hopefully just a one off.

Hongs place has excellent service, we had an issue with our order an she went above and beyond to sort everything out promptly I highly recommend the crispy Mongolian lamb 🐑

I had a surprise 70th Birthday Afternoon Tea on the 9th March. It was delightful and the staff were very helpful ensuring we had everything we wanted. We were very well looked after. We had a room to ourselves and it was charming and magical! The sandwiches were fresh and tasty and lots of them. The cakes and scones were delicious. A big thank you to you all at The Secret Garden for making it such a lovely memorable experience.

Great chicken kebab, the salad is always fresh and tasty. Pizzas are also great.

The kebabs were as lovely as displayed. Would recommend this takeaway! Very friendly customer service too!

We ordered 3 meals from Macdonalds in west way , all 3 burgers and all the chips were freezing cold. And now they are trying to refund me £5.71 !! Are you serious each meal cost more than that, who makes these numbers up. Not happy.

I have I ordered two large pizzas, two portions of potatoes and a bottle of cola and the courier lied that he delivered it to me, I called the office 4 times to ask where my order was and the totally unprofessional people at the office instead of solving my problem kept asking me while waiting, he told me to go out of the house to look for the courier outside and the courier still didn't arrive, they took the payment from the card, l paid for something I didn't receive.
