The Stores
Chelmsford Rd, Great Waltham, ChelmsfordReally nice cafe, with a villagey feel to it, and the food is lovely too.
It feels quite pricey for what you get (full English £13), but so does everywhere nowadays and I'd say the quality of the food and meat here is better than most places.
Very nice and I'll definitely be back.
Worth noting its always busy, but that's a good thing.
Their coffee is amongst the best I've had too.

The Leather Bottle
Leather Bottle/The St, ChelmsfordThe legendary Keith Flint of The Prodigy was a regular at this pub. He’d just sit, drink, and talk to folks with zero attitude or conceit. I've frequently seen people in Britain — even those in modest jobs like warehouse management — who carry themselves with such unearned self-importance, expecting everyone to worship them. Yet Keith Flint, a global icon, was down-to-earth: he’d chill in the local pub and jog past the villages, waving to people with a smile.

The Beehive
Barrack Ln, Great Waltham, ChelmsfordVisited at lunchtime today having booked a table last week. When we arrived we were told there was a issue with the power in the kitchen. However, the proprietors said they could provide a limited menu. They were so helpful and accommodating and could just as easily have turned us away and told us the kitchen was closed. We all had a great meal and even pudding. Will definitely be returning. They deserve to do well. So friendly and welcoming.

The Walnut Tree
Broad's Green, ChelmsfordThis is a completely unpretentious village pub which seems to exist in its own little time warp. The interior seems to have barely changed since the pub was built in 1888, apart from the addition of a toilet block and the perspex Covid screen across the bar.
It's quirky, the landlord isn't exactly your traditional ebullient host. But all this seems to create a strange sort of charm.
There are a few tables outside the front of the pub (occupied by cheerful locals when we were there) and more in the peaceful, grassy garden behind.
Although there are beer hand-pumps on the bar the beer is actually gravity-dispensed in the 'cellar' behind the bar. And the beer is clearly cared for properly, the pint of Landlord I had was excellent. The Cask Marque awards are well deserved.
If I lived in the village I would definitely frequent this pub. As it is I will have to settle with knowing it is there if I should be passenger this way again.
Don't come here expecting food. Do come expecting a really good pint.
Also, you'll need cash as that is all that is accepted here. Cash is king!
