The Red Lion - Chelmsford

We waited an hour and ten minutes for the food. The lady who served us was very rude and abrupt. We were also not told what items were not available on the menu until we were about to order. She then got annoyed when one of us had to choose again. The food was ok but for the price I would expect much better and more friendly service.

We ordered fish and chips plus a veg pie( the only veg option on the menu) for lunch. The fish batter was soggy and it tasted like the oil was rancid for that and the chips. The veg pie pastry top was soggy and the filling was minimal. I returned the fish and ordered a sandwich which was ok The carpet in the pub is filthy and the outside area badly managed

This pub restaurant is a delight. In a nice Essex village, plenty parking. The manager, Mohammed, was fantastic. Nice menu, well presented food, great bar with hand pulled ales. I would love to go back.

Lovely fish meal served by Mo. We were meeting friends later and had dinner before our friends arrived. All very nice, since the new ownership.

Please provide for vegetarians, you had nothing to offer my family. The food is average but thr service is shocking. The male owner needs to wear appropriate clothing and stop wearing his flip flops and stained jogging bottoms, his wife (I believe) was rude and had no explanation as to why they didn't have anything available on the menu. I used to come here alot but since this visit we haven't been back and we won't be. Ps- no one wants to see your toes when your trying to eat.
