The best restaurants serving British food in Chelmsford East of England

Small but beautifully appointed restaurant and high quality food at reasonable prices. Very friendly and attentive staff too.

Myself and my niece had the most amazing roast dinner today at the Hub. It was absolutely delicious. It’s such a friendly place, very unique with great food, staff and service. Highly recommended.

Very poor experience nearly 1hr waiting for food and there was two other people in there. Food come up warm to cold. The sticky tables, VERY OVER PRICED

Out on a walk and decided to pay a visit to this cafe as always see this passing by in the car. A warm welcome greeted us . Decided on the small breakfast and Mediterranean TM2 eggs. 2 fab coffees . Food was spot on . Friendly staff . Great service . Will definitely visit again .

I ordered this for my birthday and we were very pleased with it, especially the cakes.However we felt that the sandwiches could have had more varied, different fillings and a variety of type of bread - not just white.

This kebab place's chicken, lamb, shish, adana shish and doner were very good. The presentation was also very great.

Excellent accommodation, the rooms are very clean, fresh & warm and all the facilities are in good working order. The pub has an extensive food menu and a good selection of real ales.

Had a lovely late lunch here. Cosy fire on in the bar so it was lovely and warm on a miserable day. Food was fresh, hot, tasty and homemade. Staff were really friendly and atmosphere was good. Would definitely visit again.

Yesterday we enjoyed a lovely family Sunday lunch. We were all given a friendly welcome when we arrived which continued throughout the afternoon. The food was good and was matched by the service. It’s quite easy to see why there were a lot of regulars dining there. Would definitely recommend and hope to return one day soon.

Absolutely brilliant place for bottomless brunch, our favourite in Chelmsford. The staff are amazing, can't do more to help. Food and atmosphere is great too. Highly recommend

Great meal, as usual, meeting old friends. This is our pub of choice in Boreham. Busy on a Friday night, but able to chat easily. We all love Duo of Chicken - a firm favourite.

Food was exceptional great taste Staff were brilliant couldn’t do enough Will definitely recommend to family and friends Top notch team and great place

*Copy of my Google Maps review* Freshly made in-house food including cakes. I had not tried any of their hot food but the cakes are great! I am especially happy that they have a good selection of vegan suitable and gluten free options including sandwiches and cakes. A tad pricy but worth it to support the small business and great quality. Outdoor seating with a picturesque riverside view of Paper Mill lock. Pictures attached of the view from near the tearooms. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Cakes Vegetarian & vegan offerings Large vegetarian selection with some nice vegan options too Dietary restrictions Vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options for sandwiches and cakes. Parking space Plenty of parking Parking options Paid parking lot Parking Parking behind the tearoom. Not exclusive to the tearoom as it is for entry to the lock. £5 entry fee (£2.50 from 2:30pm - 5pm when i visted)

We'd been to Danbury Lakes and found the closest pub to go have some lunch. So we were introduced to The Bell and wow I'm so pleased we were. Let by Daniel who's lovely and had a choice of seats as a walking club who had booked table were not walking sure to the heat. 32C We were both made welcome and seated with a fan. Complementary water at the bar was nice. The menu is quite extensive and the food we chose was well worth it. I had the Sausage Melt and my wife had a Cheese/Onion baguette. Both come with salad and chips, and they were very filling. Such a nice place to eat with great food, friendly staff who made us very welcome. Just to note this is a dog friendly pub, with facilities for the larger dogs like Greyhounds too. So to follow this up, we are looking to have a lunch with friends with our dogs, when the weather is less crazy.

Very good service and food, Nothing not to like. I’ve eaten at a lot of Turkish restaurants and this is up there with the best.
