The best restaurants serving British food in Chelmsford East of England

An excellent bottomless brunch!! Incredibly attentive service and delicious mango martini’s!! Great food additionally. We’ll be returning!

Fab dinner with 5 friends to celebrate a friend's birthday. Served by the lovely Mel. Delicious meal and mini dessert. Well worth a visit!

We were a little nervous after reading some recent reviews, but we needn't have been. The warmth of the welcome was second to none, the choice of food was extensive, the food was excellent and we will return!

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.

Been going here for some years, but our last visit was days before it closed for good. Will miss it. Was always good food and super value.

Food is always good here, reasonable quality , place is clean and staff friendly, does what it says on the side of the tin- it’s a cafe. BUT - spoilt by noisy uncontrolled children, why do the parents think it’s ok for them to express themselves in scream, shout, drop food on the floor- I would hate to see the state of their homes. Teach the kids to use knife and forks, not fingers. No wonder kids have no respect. Albeit not Munchies fault, but they have to contend with clearing up the mess. So well done here!

Last year I was doing hospitality and catering level 2 and I was waitering in this restaurant so I know what it’s like. Then I thought why don’t I just see what’s it’s like as a customer? Came today and OMG! I love it. Food was brilliant! I ordered a scotch egg (it was really filling but it was lovely), sweet and sour pork with fried rice (this meal combined brilliantly!), and profiteroles (the choux pastry was good and cream and chocolate was amazing). The service was good but as I learnt last year how to do posh waitering you have to serve from the left and clear from the right and you have to do de-crumbing e.t.c. They didn’t do de crumbing or the serve and clear as they forgot. I understand that. But even though I absolutely loved it (it did feel awkward as I was a waiter before here but you can get used to it! 😂) Definitely will come again! Thank you princes room restaurant. And well done to the waiter! 😁😁

Earlier in year we held my mums 'wake' all staff were caring/helpful/understanding.We could have balloons/photos/films show..the buffet was very good,the rooms gave it a 'softer' feel . for a sad occasion.lowers on the tables. most guests complemented us on our choice/poshness of all ,,, we had been for meals before, & I'm sure would be a good hotel to stay in ….so thankz to all it would have pleased my Mum

Great place, friendly staff, great restaurant too.

As a customer that was always in shwings when they had a restaurant on new london rd, I’m so so so disappointed on the new location, service, and the standard of food. Me and my partner decided to have shwings because we hadnt had it since they shut the restaurant, we was very let down by the whole experience and definitely wont be returning which is really annoying as we enjoyed it so much at the restaurant. The food was served on paper plates/bowls, we got given wooden forks, and the quality of the food wasnt up to the standards we’ve previously experienced with shwings. The location is not great either as its a bar/club and frequently visted by the homeless which makes an unpleasant atmosphere while eating. This used to be a restaurant you could take the family or be with friends and would have a lovely meal, great experience every single time. Now I definitely wouldn’t recommend for anyone with children or even a meal with friends. Overall a very disappointing experience and so sad.
