The Crown - Chelmsford

I went to this restaurant for lunch on a Sunday. The food was delicious and was prepared by a family-run establishment. Everything was freshly cooked at home. The staff were attentive but not too aggressive.

This is our fifth visit to this restaurant this year. The food is consistently great and the service is always polite and prompt. It's clear that this is a family-run business and they put a lot of effort and passion into it. Pound for pound, this is definitely the best value dining option in the area. Keep up the good work!

After attending a baby dedication, we decided to visit this restaurant for their buffet. The staff was attentive and the atmosphere, although the pub was not spacious, felt comfortable and cozy. The buffet food was tasty, and we were pleased to find out that we could order extra chips for the children, who enjoyed them along with some of the adults. While we were there, we also checked out their menu and are looking forward to returning in the near future.

Table booked for of us to celebrate a family member’s birthday. Sadly one person dropped out but still of us had a lovely time and the last minute dropout was not an issue for the great people running this place! The food was...lovely, staff super friendly and welcoming, including to our little ‘additional needs’ member! All adults had different meals and everyone was happy! The youngest member of the group had the childrens meal of vegetable pasta and ice cream sundae and cannot wait to go again! Great place to meet, eat and drink . The atmosphere is very pleasant with privacy for a large group booking as we found out. This was our first time visiting but we already have a second date in mind soon!

Had lunch here recently and the family owned pub had lovely, friendly staff working there. Unfortunately, after having a pork roast and the sticky toffee pudding, both were a bit of a let down. Although the food was very reasonably priced, the roast lacked flavour...and seasoning with most of it overcooked; and the dessert was most definitely not home made and more of a treacle sponge than a sticky toffee pudding. With such a beautiful country pub, it would be great to see really good, locally sourced food, even if it came with a higher price.
