The Chequers in Chelmsford

Ah, The Chequers in Writtle – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a second home, you know? From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the homemade grub is where it really shines; think generous portions of classics like steak pie or a stellar Sunday roast that leaves you properly satisfied. The atmosphere is spot on too, with a roaring fire and a garden that's ideal for catching up with mates on a nice day. They've got all sorts going on, from live music gigs to quizzes, and the team behind the bar are absolute stars, always up for a chat and making sure everything runs smoothly. On the downside, if you're after more variety for veggies, the options are a tad limited, and that garden might not be the coziest spot when the weather turns. Still, with a solid 4.5 rating and reasonable prices, it's a cracking choice for anyone in Chelmsford looking for a good night out – I'd say give it a go and see for yourself!
