The best restaurants serving British food in Rettendon and Runwell Chelmsford East of England

Spent a week here a lovely place nice staff cracking food not had a bad meal highly recommend it .lovely peaceful area to so relaxing

I think this is our favourite nursery cafe. It's a bit dark inside and can be a bit noisy as it's so popular but the staff are great, offering table service, which is so convenient. We were between jobs so just stopped off for some toast and coffee. Very nice. Extra butter and marmite. Yummy.

Exceptional service by Sara!! Very friendly and great ambiance of the place is great as well! First time here and recommend any and everyone to pass By!!

First time I’ve been here today,will definitely return.

Been here a few times to eat and highly recommend the food. Sunday roast was fantastic. Nice friendly staff and feel good pub.

Loved the calamari and the friendly staff! Will come back. The calamari was splendid I usually don’t like squid but my partner (Ernie) urged me to try some squid.

Really lovely pub/restaurant. Been to Battlesbridge many times but never been in the Barge before as gluten free, so presumed they wouldn’t do this. Took a chance this time as hungry and how wrong was I? Great menu. Wasn’t goi g to have a starter but they had White bait GF and haven’t had this in years. Delicious. Then had the pork/bacon egg and chips. Absolutely lovely. Portions were good. Husband had chicken wings starts and the Wednesday roast lamb. So nice we didn’t want to leave anything but I had to. Daughter had white bait and Barge burger. Everyone enjoyed their options. Staff were excellent. Very friendly and helpful. Great value for money. This is really a little gem.
