About This Pub
Ah, Walkabout Chelmsford – it's one of those places that really hits the mark for a relaxed pint or a proper night out with friends. I love how they've nailed the live sports scene; whether it's football, rugby, or Formula 1, the big HD screens and cold beers make you feel like you're part of the game, and it's clear from the feedback that folks are chuffed with the atmosphere. The staff stand out too – they're so welcoming and on point, sorting out everything from birthdays to work dos with a smile, and the food's stepped up a notch with their new chef dishing out some belting burgers and wings. Plus, those deals like bottomless brunch are an absolute bargain for a bit of indulgence. On the flip side, though, some of the extra activities do come with a higher price tag, so it's worth keeping an eye on your wallet if you're planning a big session. And let's not forget those spiral stairs to the loos – they add a quirky touch, but they might not be ideal if stairs aren't your thing. All in all, it's a solid choice for a good time in Chelmsford, with plenty of positives that outweigh the minor niggles, so I'd say give it a go if you're after a place that feels just right for unwinding with mates.

One of the many good bars in Chelmsford town. Decided the pale ale was the beer for me. Great to see some live football on. Rather usually spiral stairs to the toilets. Finally great service and I would recommend
Me and my friend booked the bottomless brunch for my birthday, Lillie was our allocated member of staff, and all I can say is Lillie went above and beyond to make sure we were having the best experience possible. Lillie was friendly, welcoming, attentive and took extreme pride in making sure we had a 10/10 experience! Lillie is definitely a credit to your team at Walkabout Chelmsford. Thanks again Lillie! Xx
Amazing time here last weekend with friends, the new chef Kim has totally upped the food game, everything was incredible! We even ordered takeout from there this week! Bar staff super friendly, new manager running the place has made it feel different in such a positive way! Can’t wait to be back soon!
Great night venue, does everything a traditional night club does and does it well. Staff are all helpful and friendly, door staff very approachable.
Feels a safe healthy adult environment, fair prices as well. 5*
Walkabout Chelmsford is a really fun place with lots of activities to do, some of the activities are a little on the pricey side, but worth it. The food and drinks are fairly priced and good quality. The staff are polite and helpful.
