pasta bolognaise uses horse meat 100% because it definitely isn’t fresh british beef. the wait staff seemed so uninterested in taking orders and wouldn’t even bother to come over to apologise about the wait for the food. i find this appalling, avoid at all costs! my boyfriend found a hair on his milkshake & was unable to chew the meat on the bolognaise due to it being absolutely vile. the cheese was ‘parmesan’ but someone must have dyslexia because they picked up ‘plastic’ instead. it had no flavour and was just overall horrid. chicken burger and chips were the only good thing, only because they were fresh out sainsbury’s freezer. do not go here if you want a toilet-free night.

I would give 0 stars if I could,went there with my son and ordered a chicken salad for myself,and they just put a stale big piece of chicken breast probably leftover from the roast dinner,with no taste and smelling disgusting next to some leaves of lettuce and a few slices of cucumber and tomatoes.Absolutely disgusting!I do know how the chicken salad should look,as I ordered before from another cafe,it should have grilled and seasoned chicken breast slices.When I told to the waitress about the chicken that couldn't be eaten she just told me that they didn't have any other complaints about the chicken in that day,that's it!no discount,no apologies,nothing!Never ever return there!And I did feel a bit of rasism in their attitude.

I wouldn't give this any stars if that were possible !My wife and myself went to this cafe over a week ago, I had a cooked breakfast, my wife had porridge. I had nearly eaten my breakfast when my wife pulled out a big long hair on her spoon stuck in the porridge ?. She said I don't think we will come back here again so I said " no I wouldn't because these sausages taste awful," when she looked at the remains of the last bit of sausage I had left she said it's not cooked !!! The pork sausage was still red in the middle ? , I'd already eaten one and three quarters of the other !I hadn't noticed because I didn't have my glasses on .We called the young girl waitress over and she was disgusted, she took the porridge and the breakfast back out to the kitchen, she came back and couldn't apologise more even though it wasn't her fault. She said they have taken the price off for the porridge ! Good of them as my wife had hardly eaten any of it !! And they took a couple of quid off for the uncooked sausages ? . I'd rather have had the cook come out and explain why they weren't cooked properly and also to hear an apology from him.I never gave a bad review at the time and thought I'd put it down to a bad experience but since eating the uncooked pork I have suffered with a terrible upset stomach so thought I would warn anyone else thinking of going to this cafe for breakfast.

Dreadful service and food. My jacket potato arrived after everyone else had finished. It was microwaved dry and not edible. Avoid

Good grub. Disappointing set menu. No chips included. Rasher rating 4/5.
Worst lasagne I have ever tasted. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was the cheapest ready meal they could buy and then microwave. I had one bite and didn’t touch it again. None of the staff asked how our meals were and I think it was a good thing they didn’t ask as I had nothing good to say. Not sure what has happened as I’m sure I had lasagne here before and it was nice so if they are cutting costs then it has seriously affected the quality of food. My sons sausage kids meal looked like it was the cheapest sausage I have ever seen and the potato smilies were so greasy. Will not be returning.

Disgusting service, rude and no manners.Went to chelmsford city diner for a few milkshakes with my friends only to be greeted with ill mannered servers. Went to pay and she grabbed my money and dropped it all over the floor.the milkshakes were vile and the customer service was even worse.When we got our milkshakes the waitresses were stood staring and laughing and my friend with a disability. I wish to never return there.

Disgusting service, rude and absolutely no manners. Went in to chelmsford city diner for a few milkshakes, the milkshakes were vile and the customer service was even worse. Woman at till snatched my money then dropping it all over the floor. Other servers laughing and staring at my friend with a disability. Outrageous never going to return.

We went into the diner today(Wednesday June 7th @2pm) yet again the food was freshly cooked, pipping hot and absolutely delicious. The service is as always first class. I would thoroughly recommend the diner. Ten out of ten. Well done to all the staff. Thankyou.Parking: Very close to multistorey car park.
