About This Pub
Ah, Clay Pigeon Essex – it's one of those pubs that just hits the spot for a good night out in Chelmsford. From what folks are saying, the staff are absolute gems, always going the extra mile to make you feel right at home, which really sets the tone for a welcoming evening. The atmosphere is buzzing, with all sorts of events like DJ sets and activities that keep the energy up, and it's not just about the drinks – they've got tasty food options and it's spot on for families, thanks to that kids' play area. Plus, if you're into sports, it's a top choice for catching the big games on TV, and it's even dog-friendly, so no need to leave the pup behind. On the downside, it does fill up quickly, so you might end up queuing or getting cosy in a crowd, and if you're not local, the trip might not be worth it unless you're planning a day out. All in all, it's a solid spot for a pint and some laughs, and I'd say give it a go if you're in the area – you won't be disappointed, but do check the times to avoid any mix-ups.

My local pub, absolutely amazing atmosphere, I would say the staff are amazing but that would be an understatement! Prices are low for drinks nothing like any of the other locals around Chelmsford with amazing deals, there’s always something going on wether that’s people performing, dj’s, activities like quizzes and bingo and even barbecues!
Nat & Rishi and the team do an excellent job of running this fine establishment. I’ve lived on Tile Kiln many years and I’ve never seen the pub so busy.
All of the staff are very welcoming, I am particularly impressed with the events they put on and they’re fantastic shot menu 🙂
Good pubs are in short supply, So long may the Clay Pigeon continue 💪👍
