The best restaurants serving British food in Chelmsford East of England

Absolutely freezing cold, couldn't have the table my wife wanted as reserved, it wasn't. Pies cold inside,taken away reheated. We won't be back.

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.

We were in yesterday. 2 New Yorkers. Table 38. The food was nearly cold ,Chicken like rubber. Chips/Fries cold and limp. Quick service. Hence food cold. Pre prepared sitting on hot plate a While. Shame. Nice Venue and staff

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!!

Useless. Only person in here and the gentleman ignored me. Standing for 5 minutes. A Deliveroo guy came in. He started making that and told me it would be a 10 minute wait. Backwards staff. Dirty shop. Probably for the best

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
