My friends & I visited last night. The food was absolutely amazing. I had the beef from the Christmas menu & it was the best piece of beef I have had for a long time. I would say it was cooked to perfection. The staff as always where very friendly & service was excellent. We always look forward to coming to this restaurant.

We were a bit surprised by the level of music when we entered, and as most people seemed to be drinking rather than eating (was getting late!) However the food was very good and we left very happy.

Really enjoyed our cheeseburgers and skin-on fries which were excellent value with the lunch-time offer. Will definitely go again when in Chelmsford.
