You feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere at this country pub north of Chelmsford (and dating from 1652) – “a perfect venue for those that enjoy a country walk followed by a decent lunch”. “It really delivers on food” (generously portioned pub grub). “Great beers too!”

3. Pig & Whistle Restaurant British, Modern restaurant in Chelmsford Chignal Road, Chignal Smealy - CM1

In a village a short drive outside Chelmsford, this converted sixteenth-century pub has fine countryside views and provides a traditionally comfortable destination, complete with linen tablecloths, candles and cut glass. It wins good all-round feedback (if not a huge volume of reviews) and its modern brasserie fare (with steak, beef Wellington and cote de boeuf to share a highlight) helps it regularly feature in Essex food awards. (Owners Brendan Curran & Justin Mullender are also known for the quality of their put-downs on Tripadvisor!)

4. The Lion Inn British, Modern restaurant in Boreham Main Rd - CM3

2021 Review: “A short drive from Chelmsford” in “the heart of Essex” – this “highly recommended” inn is large enough to host weddings and conferences, with a spacious Victorian-style conservatory for dining that has a “real vibrant buzz”, along with “decent good-value food and very friendly service”.
