The best restaurants serving British food in Little Baddow, Danbury and Sandon Chelmsford East of England

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

*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.

We have been collecting Fish & Chips from The Bakers Arms since the start of Covid which has always been fantastic. Tonight on the recommendation of my son, we went and ate in and oh my god, I didn’t think it could get any better but it was amazing. Can’t believe that not having to unwrap them would make such a difference. Well done #TeamBakersArms. Sorry no photos as was too hungry.

Fantastic menu and top quality food. Had a whole Octopus which was amazing. The Service was very attentive and friendly. Dog friendly too. We will be back!

What an experience the best Sunday roast ever, service great food out of this world, David could not have been more professional if he tried absolutely brilliant day for my birthday totally recommend must go back soon, like all of the Olio's chain brilliant. Thanks David for a great meal and time

We had a fabulous anniversary celebration lunch here for over 20 guests including our 4 young grandchildren. The food was great, as it always is at Luigi's, and was much complimented by our guests. The staff were very accommodating, unobtrusive, and made great efforts to ensure that everything went smoothly. Our special occasion was certainly very special! Thank you!

I absolutely loved my visit to The Anchor today. The food was excellent, as was the atmosphere. The pub was beautifully decorated inside and out for Christmas while Christmas classic songs gently played. The staff were efficient and friendly. I would thoroughly recommend this delightful pub.

Never been in a pub that looks and smells so clean and fresh! Staff were very welcoming and friendly. Will definitely return to eat next time as the food looked amazing. Bearing in mind we visited in December the gardens looked so cared for and so very pretty. If you’ve not visited this pub it is one of the best original drinking holes that don’t cost the earth!!

Gave me food poisoning. Felt like there was something off with the taste and I really paid for it last night - constant vomiting and diarrhoea
