Turtle Bay Chelmsford
22-24 The Exchange Way, ChelmsfordNathan, Nathan, Nathan. I’m lost for words! He was absolutely sublime. The friendly nature and enthusiasm to help was second to none. He took our orders with a minimum of fuss and delivered them just as gracefully as he took them. The nights overall jovial atmosphere was without a doubt heightened by his impeccable service, willingness to help and upbeat manner. 10/10 service from the moment we entered the establishment. All I can say is incredible and I will be returning due to this service and encourage others to experience it! Well done!Kid-friendliness: Our child (grandmother who acts like one) was well accommodated for throughout the night. She was kept under wraps from the moment we entered and I would like to formally congratulate the members off staff who helped (put up with her) banter!

Miller & Carter Chelmsford
Barnes Farm, Barnes Mill Road, ChelmsfordWe were looking for somewhere to have a nice late lunch celebrating GCSE results, and having not visited in a very long time (for no real reason but being busy) we finally ventured back to Miller & Carter. Everything was exactly as we expected, the lunch time menu was excellent value (where else can you get a good starter, rump steak, chips and legendary onion loaf, and a dessert for £20.50?!) and even the drinks are sensibly priced. All of our food was very well cooked, with generous portion sizes (the mac and cheese with pulled beef almost too big!), and great flavours. The service was also excellent, and our waitress on the day (Sharon H) was friendly and attentive whilst remaining professional at all times.Whilst I know M&C can be easily overlooked these days as there are lots of exciting sounding new alternatives I still think if you want a consistently excellent steak it is hard to beat, and the lunch/early dinner menu is superb value.

Kaani Kaana - Bangladeshi and Indian Takeaway Chelmsford
18 Duke St, ChelmsfordHad a take away last night and it was delicious. First time trying this place and won’t be the last! As a vegan I was so happy to find a place that has a designated vegan menu- especially a vegan chicken korma!! You could tell the food is fresh- tasty and not oily. Gluten free items too ?Only downfalls was my partner was a little bit disappointed as he ordered a biriyani and was expecting a vegetable curry to come on the side as standard but it was simply a curry sauce- so would be nice to have some veg in there. The delivery took about an hour and 20 and the food was not hot enough for my liking. However, we understand it’s a Saturday night and clearly this place is busy for a reason so definitely worth the wait!Thanks ?Vegetarian options: Unique options and designated vegan menu- which is very rare for Indian takeawaysDietary restrictions: Lots of vegetarian, vegan (dairy free) and gluten free options!

The Plough
Essex, 28 Duke St, ChelmsfordWe called in at The Plough out of my wanting to catch up with someone, known from a previous establishment, who now works there. The intention had been to move on after a couple of beers. Once at the bar we did not go on. The Plough has changed since my last visit, it seemed cleaner, more airy, with a reasonable range of ales to boot. The service was grand and it was good to see, after a bout of medical scares, my old acquaintance has lost none of their sparkle or volume. It was a decent venue where my companion, a colleague from working days, and I could swap our various news stories while enjoying a beer, or some more beers. Perhaps we were lucky it was a relatively quiet day in terms of the pub's trading, but it was certainly very good for us. We were there to drink, we did not eat.

The delivery took about an hour and 20 and the food was not hot enough for my liking. However, we understand it’s a Saturday night and clearly this place is busy for a reason so definitely worth the wait!Thanks ?Vegetarian options: Unique options and designated vegan menu- which is very rare for Indian takeawaysDietary restrictions: Lots of vegetarian, vegan (dairy free) and gluten free options!

Sticky & Sweet Cupcake Co Ltd
26 Swiss Ave, ChelmsfordThe chocolate wedding cake was gorgeously decorated and so delicious. The groom, who usually doesn’t enjoy cakes, said he enjoyed it 100% and so did all the guests. Louise went out of her way in liaising with the florist and ensured the cake was delivered to the venue for the wedding lunch promptly. I would highly recommend Sticky & Sweet Cupcake Co, it has the best tasting, freshest cakes and world class, personable service which is so rare nowadays.

Turquoise Kitchen Bar & Grill
Unit 2-3, The Exchange Shopping Centre, Exchange Way, ChelmsfordThis place is amazing! The food is full of flavour and they do the best grills. The place is very clean, waiters are professional and very friendly, even taking pics for us on our mobile phones with no issues. The service was prompt and beers cold. Special mention to their manager O Jay and waiter Ayush (hope I got their names correct). You guys are amazing and the reason why our group will come back again!

The Endeavour
351 Springfield Rd, Springfield, ChelmsfordSuper impressed! Super dog friendly. All dogs and customers were well behaved welcoming ahd friendly. The cleanest ladies toilets I've seen in a pub for a long time. Disappointed no Aspallls, however stunned they had the arguably better rarity Norfolk Adder. My partner said the beer was very good standard. Small beer garden, but the space was maximised to the highest standard possible and everywhere was clean, clean, clean. Such a lovely vibe about it.

The Blue Lion
Tabors Hill, Great Baddow, ChelmsfordVisited on a busy early evening , weather was good, and we sat in the garden, with our dog, Nel. Manager was attentive and bought water for Nel. Made to feel welcome, staff were inviting, and provided a relaxed atmosphere. Some of the food was a little over cooked, standard and pleasant enough pub grub. Overall a lovely couple of hours remembered fondly , would recommend.

The Drunken Dragon
Main Rd, Bicknacre, ChelmsfordHaving just visited White Elm Farm at Bicknacre we decided to try to find a pub for a late lunch. There was 4 of us. Myself, my daughter and 2 children aged 7 and 3. The Drunken Dragon was local so we thought we would give it a try. My grandson who is 7 is milk intolerant and soya intolerant. The waitress was absolutely amazing and the chef Bill came to our table to discuss with us different options for for my grandson.- both were so kind and considerate. The food was really nice and reasonably priced and the atmosphere lovely and welcoming. I would most definitely go back again if we are up that way and would like to give special thanks to "Bill" and the lovely helpful waitress who served us. You are both a real credit to the Drunken Dragon.
