White Swan - Chelmsford

Best roast around, friendly service and proper home cooked food, quantity and quality really good highly recommended

They have opened the old restaurant at the back, The Cygnet. We called in yesterday, 6 of us, all chose something different from gammon, egg and chips, sausage and mash, and sandwiches with salad. It took 30 mins for our food to arrive, and we could see why as it was all fresh and superb quality. This was not microwaved pub grub, good quality and quantity, great service and good value for money. We will be going back and would recommend.

Having heard good things about the new tea room, opened in the old function room, we decided to give it a try. The room has been nicely done up so was welcoming and the person who served us was very friendly. My friend and I had had a bit of a misunderstanding so I only wanted cake and he wanted a full lunch. I had a very lovely slice of lemon drizzle that was fresh and generous In portion size. My friend had a ham sandwich that came with a side salad, coleslaw and tortilla chips it was a plateful! My only adverse comment was that the tea was served with the teabag in the cup. I would have preferred a teapot but, in any event, would have liked a dish for the teabag rather than use the saucer. I would still highly recommend and will definitely be returning.

Called in without a booking and we were really well looked after, we both had starters main and sweet and enjoyed every mouthful, really good value for money and will eat here again, Pub grub at its best thank you Paul Sharon

We tried this pub on the off chance, food and service was very good. Very large portions. We were made to feel very welcome. Would recommend
