The best restaurants in Chelmsford East of England

All round great service with a nice atmosphere and great food and coffee. I would recommend and choose over most of the coffee shops in chelmsford.

Very hit and miss one day could have a very good meal the next it’s stale cold and seems like it’s been sitting there for ages One thing the boy with the nose ring and long hair needs to wear a hair net or at least tie it back and stop playing with it then serve food

After shopping in Woodham Ferrers a great place for a break is Costa Coffee, the staff there are very friendly & they can provide you with a good cup of coffee & a nice cake for a very reasonable price.

Hadn't been here in awhile and was not disappointed my all day breakfast was amazing not greasy at all bacon and sausages were very good quality everything was perfect can not wait to go again. Thankyou kings cafe

Always looked at this place never sure , but what a place I have been missing although I didn’t eat this time I was welcome by the staff and made very welcome the staff explain all the points of the restaurant and explained the happy hour times and what to expect on different nights so we will be using this place again dave and Chris rogers

Not been hear since pandemic began but pleased to say its got even better with a lovely outside covered seating area. Service friendly as ever and the food is fresh, simple tasty and generous……try the gammon.

Probably lunchtime fish and chips is better. Seems fresher than the evening portions. The chips are often slightly undercooked. Seems petty I know but why are the staff so miserable? No smiles, chats with customers. Shame as it has so much potential. Would also be nice if the owners or Managers responded to these TripAdvisor reviews. Would be if use to them to improve.

My granddaughter wanted to come here for her birthday. This was really awful food. If you want quantity rather than nice tasty food then it’s ok . There is so much msg in the food . None of us ate hardly anything and ate when we got home . Expensive mistake.

The Delivery driver was polite and it came quick enough which was fine. But just under £27 for two dishes? It was extremely over priced for what we received. The two dishes we ordered were the hot milk chocolate cookie dough (which tasted alright, nothing special - which it should’ve been at that price) And the “smoking sizzly sizzler brownie platter” which was an utter abysmal, absolutely terrible. It was like a mashed up broken cake, and for that price I’m absolutely gutted - I feel conned! I wouldn’t recommend those dishes 😂😂

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

Unusual, traditional tearoom with old fashioned furniture. Fantastic selection of proper teas served in handmade tea bags in tea pots with little tea cosies. Nice quiet place out of the way. My husband enjoyed a slice of coffee and walnut cake which had a good quantity of walnuts which was to his liking. Unfortunately they had run out of Gluten Free cake options but I enjoyed my cup of tea anyway.

Best roast around, friendly service and proper home cooked food, quantity and quality really good - highly recommended

Have been here a few times now, both mid week and weekends. Also had takeaways from here, which aren’t quite as good as eating in. I would agree with other reviews that it’s a bit on the pricy side for an Indian but the portions are a good size and always very tasty and presentation is excellent. On one occasion I had the lamb chop starter and was served two huge chops & couldn’t finish my main course! My fellow diners always praise the quality of the Nan breads too.

It was the first time I had seen my parents in months due to lockdown, so we spent 5 hours in the shop and cafe (ate in cafe twice). We spend over £150. A few days later we received a £60 parking fine for spending too long at the shop. We tried to dispute with proof of purchase, but was just told we would be fined £100 if we don't pay by October. Will not be visiting the shop again, and advising others to avoid.

In area looking at antiques, decided to stop here for light lunch. Dissapointed to find that a Tea Room served our hot drinks in takeout cups and sandwiches on paper plates with plastic knives & forks. The menu sandwich choice read Thick hand cut Wiltshire ham, the sandwich turned up with one slice of thin cut ham. Sausage roll was cooked in microwave so pastry was soggy and a toasted tuna sandwich was not edible. Awful lunch! Addressed our complaint to the staff, was refunded back the Tuna sandwich. Doubtful we will rush back.
