About This Pub
Ah, Fox & Hounds – what a gem it is, tucked away on Wood St in Chelmsford. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, this place really shines with its welcoming atmosphere; the staff go out of their way to make you feel at ease, whether you're just nipping in for a pint or sorting out something more personal like a family gathering. The pizzas and beers get rave reviews, and it's clear folks love the community spirit – think friendly chats and that homely vibe that keeps you coming back. On the flip side, it's a shame it's shut one day a week, and without a website, you might end up playing phone tag to get the lowdown. Still, with such high praise and a solid track record, I'd say it's well worth a visit if you're in the area; it's one of those pubs that balances a good laugh with reliable grub, making it a reliable spot for us pub enthusiasts.

Was in here yesterday. The staff were very friendly and helpful, including the lovely dog. Pizzas and beers were lovely. Very nice pub, would definitely visit again if in the area. Give it a try you won't be disappointed
Dad's wake,
I would like to thank Chiarina & Darren for all their help at this difficult time . From the minute I phoned to see if we could hold a wake at the Fox & Hounds, they could not have been more helpful. They made everybody fill very welcome & comfortable .
The venue was an excellent choice great size not too big or too small, great parking great buffet, great service & prices, lovely staff.
I would not hesitate to recommend Chiarina & Darren lovely people. Once again thank you for all your help at this difficult time.
Was here last night with The Orange Tree darts team playing a friendly match. Extremely welcoming and friendly pub. Pizza is to die for
