The best restaurants in Writtle Chelmsford East of England

Excellent Real Ale, gravity dispensed.

Wow, what a great find. Immaculate and stylish decor, impeccably clean dinning area. Excellent food, very quick service, generous portions and very attentive friendly staff. Gorgeous home made Tiramisu on the house for Mother’s Day. Couldn’t have been any better.

Wow!What a fantastic 80th Birthday celebration yesterday 15th March 2025.As visitors to Italy,Sicily and also Sardinia on several occasions,and various regions of all those places,I can safely say that this is the best authentic Italian food we have ever eaten outside of the three aforementioned countries.Well done! We will be back 🇮🇹❤️.

Pub was too packed to give a proper score but must have something going for it. Had a quick drink and left

Loved this place. And thank you so much to Ronnie and all the staff for the polite courteous service. Preeti & Sunil

Always a good service. Friendly staff, good food. Always a smile and great advice . Cumberland sausage and mash great . Pie fantastic, trio of chicken lovely

Brilliant place. Newly refurbished. Staff very good and the menu is excellent

Visited on 14th March for the “Song Doctors” gig and had a great meal - homemade steak pie was delicious, other half had scampi & chips which was also great. Staff were very pleasant and service was excellent, prices also very reasonable - will definitely return!

This Punjabi restaurant has a very stylish, comfortable interior. The menu is not hugely extensive but the food is delicious! We really enjoyed our chicken with chillies and chicken with fenugreek. The accompaniments to the poppadoms were tasty too.

Fabulous sandwich, which we shared, also excellent quiche. We will go again ASAP! We want to try the rest of the menu, but also the garden centre had a really good selection of house plants

We went here for lunch and sat in the lovely garden, which is decorated with teacups lovely plants benches and white tables. Staff were friendly and the food was lovely we had the brunch bagel 🥯 and an ice coffee. Just be careful when digging into the bagel as the poached egg yolk went everywhere- but this is a sign of a great egg. Drinks were also lovely. Would defo go back. They also have a gorgeous private function room with music defo worth looking into.

food is good and all staff are lovely

Such a shame its last day after more than a decade is 30 August. Staff charming and we wished them well for their futures. Food was excellent value. Hopefully the College will see fit to continue to provide similar going forwards. Adieu

I visited today with my partner and mum. From the start I felt like an inconvenience, I didn’t get a chance to look at the food properly without a staff member kept asking what I want I was extremely overwhelmed felt very rushed into picking my food They slam down your tray and talk really fast so you have no idea what’s going on way too overwhelming and gives you a buzzer but no idea why. Food was cold but that wasn’t too much of an issue. Overall it caused a major meltdown

First visit for a while - was sent a voucher for a two mains for £20 deal so decided to go for late lunch staff were very accommodating and friendly a special thank you for Marketa who looked after our needs
