The Six Bells in Chelmsford

Thank you so much to the lovely man behind the bar that really helped me and a new friend in need today. Although I didn’t sample the food it looked amazing coming out of the kitchen so I will definitely be back next week to give it a try! Your kindness was so greatly appreciated, you are a credit to the pub. X

Two visits, two great experiences ... and probably the best menu anywhere. It's rare that I struggle to choose between 5 or 6 starters and a similar number of mains, especially from a one-page menu! Great service, wonderful food, lovely beer, and a sensible price.

Wow - what a gem not too far from home. We stopped off on a whim in February and had an incredible meal with great service. We were SO impressed, we booked for Mothers day... That was yesterday, and yet again the food and service was exceptional considering it was such a busy day for them. If you go, I can highly recommend the shoulder of lamb, steak and ale pie and the pavlova. The pavlova, is made out of stuff that dreams are made of, its devine.

The best meal out I've had in a long time. Food was delicious, fresh and served quite quickly considering how busy the restaurant was, which speaks volumes about a place. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Thank you

This pub is now in my top 5 in Essex!The pub is your typical oldy worldly building with beams and open fire, lots of parking, lots of seating, and a massive car park.Staff friendliness and service was second to none!Food was amazing! I had the steak and Gunness pie (recommend by waitress) and it was perfect, full with filling and crusty pastry.Made by the chef which they said most food is made and prepared on site.We all loved the food here so much obviously we had to squeeze in dessert which was made up fresh on ordering.So glad we came here by chance as we will definitely be back here.I highly recommend you visit to eat and also may be worth booking as it did get busy by the time we left at lunchtime.

Lovely old building with lots of seating and very friendly staff. There is something for everyone on their menu, everything is home made, even their sausages. The Steak and Guinness pie is amazing, no 'nasty' bits, lots of gravy. I highly recommend the Six Bells whether for a drink or a meal.. You won't be disappointed

8 of us for a birthday lunch staff attentive and friendly, good menu lots of choice as one of us is celiac but still had many things to choose from the menu. I had bangers and mash superb. Thanks to all at the 6 bells.

Had a really lovely family meal. Very family friendly pub and the staff were happy, engaging and provided an excellent service. Food was fairly good with very large portions, I found my chicken in my burger a little dry but apart from that it was decent 'pub grub'. Would definitely return.

Xmas lunch with a few friends while the ladies had their annual Xmas bash just up the road. We were the 'taxi' service. Good time. Food a little disappointing (chicken curry) I have had a lot better, but it was a great social meet up which us blokes don't get the opportunity to do very often, so all in all we had a nice time.

It's great to find a place that does nice food, but also has a playground for the kids. Add to that that they are happy to serve outside so you can enjoy the last of the summer and you're got a recipe for a five star review.The roast was great, and the desserts were tasty and we'll presented. There was minimal wait for the food as well. The play equipment is extensive for a eatery garden, with a tire swing some swings a seesaw and some climbing frames.All in all definitely worth a visit.
