Sainsburys Restaurant in Chelmsford

Never again. Visited 8am this morning.Wanted: 2 poached eggs on toast and a cappuccino without chocolate. They don’t do poached eggs so chose fried.Received: a cappuccino with tons of chocolate, 2 eggs with slimy whites and a crust over the yolks, Luke warm. Pretty sure they were left over from yesterday, certainly not cooked to order.

Disappointed. I ordered Porridge with honey and banana they gave me my honey and banana but no porridge. I waited 10 minutes for it then when up to order it again and they forgot the porridge so they done the porridge. I waited another 10-15 minutes until the porridge finally arrived. Coffee wasn’t great as it was rushed. The Cafe toilets were disgusting 🤢! It smelt and looked like it hadn’t been cleaned for months very unhygienic! I like Sainsbury’s cafe but this is the worst one I’ve ever been to!

Lovely cooked breakfast. Friendly staff.

Quite clean cafe. Open early for breakfast on Sunday. Staff were polite and friendly. We chose the cooked breakfast, my mother did not want beans so chose the cooked mushroom. The photo is of three of the cooked sausages. The fourth between the two breakfasts was just about cooked enough to eat. These other three were barely cooked. The mushroom had also not been cooked properly and was barely warm. We have met there several times and the food has been good but they failed this time. It was too busy to complain at the time and my mother did not want to cause a scene.Down graded to a 1 star due to their lack of service and help from their customer service department.

Sadly every time we visit this cafe it is dirty. The tables are covered in food, trays and dirty dishes. This is in no way the staffs fault; it is a self clearing cafe but this isn't obvious. It also doesn't help that the tray ports are at the opposite end to the cafe so people are highly unlikely as seen, to clear their trays away even if it means walking one minute in the opposite direction. Not a comfortable place to sit, eat or dine. I tend nor to buy food as I'd have nowhere to put my plate.

Cheaper than the high street brands, but just as good. There's something for all occasions ranging from light snacks and coffee and cake to a Full English. Regularly changing specials as well. Recommended an early afternoon visit to avoid the rush!

Good reasonably priced food, I had fishcake it was tasty. But the potatoes were a little rubbery

Place was very busy but I enjoyed the bangers and mash. There was a mother and little girl sitting in front of me and it was lovely to see the little girl tucking in to her salmon lunch. That's the nature of the Cafe, it really caters to e everyone.

As we went early was reasonably quiet. Friendly staff. Clean cafe. Food good but I had a create your own breakfast. Only had egg, bacon and mushroom. One mushroom isn't enough.

Not impressed by the food. I had fish and chips. Whilst the chips we good the thin slice of cod covered by a thick crispy batter wasn't. I won't get that again. My wife took a cheese burger. That looked nowhere as nice as the advertised picture. She suggested it was previously cooked and frozen then warmed in a microwave. You can imagine how that tasted. Once again her chips were good. Would we recommend eating lunch there?. I think you know the answer...
