This was one of our favourite pubs to eat in the Chelmsford area. On Saturday we called in with friends for a drink, although pub was half empty we asked to sit in the front reception area. We promptly left and when somewhere more hospitality. The Six Bells is clearly no longer a pub and only interested in customers who are eating. Just another restaurant!

Came for a family gathering .lovely little setting with low beams. Staff were very friendly. Food was great with couple of choices with chef specials as well. Had the partridge and pheasant hotpot with was very meaty and tasty. Would definitely come back

Went for a large group Xmas lunch having previously enjoyed the good food here. Part cooked cold food for some, burnt overcooked for others and just right for half the group. Won't book for a group again but would go back as a couple in the evening. Disappointing.

Foods is ok, the dessert are the Best things in there! The staff are ok not that attentive and one in particular just come across as rude/stuck-up

Excellent service and really nice food. I ate there with 4 friends for 60th Birthdays and took a takeaway home for my Husband. He said it was the best liver and bacon he's ever had. Vegetarian options: Plenty of opticians for non-meat eaters.

Good food, very reasonable prices, staff pleasant and attentive. Didn't have to wait long to order or for food and it was reasonably busy. I had the chilli with tortillas and sour cream was very nice, chilli had a reasonable kick, Good size portion. My friend had the burger and she thoroughly enjoyed hers too!

We went on a Sunday afternoon. We had Lasagne and the veg risotto and they were both delicious. Really friendly service and great atmosphere. This is the first time we'd been. We chose it as it had a beer garden and play area for the kids. We will definitely be going back!!

Dined from 14:30 this time and chose from the Sunday menu. My partner had the seafood salad, and you couldn't have gotten more delicious seafood on the plate...barely room for the salad! I had the chicken, ham & leek pie, and it came as a very well filled slice. Moist, chunks of meat in shortcrust pasty...served with a lovely rich sauce, new potatoes & a nice little selection of vegetables. Excellent hot food and a nod to the staff who allowed us to take our time.

Two visits, two great experiences ... and probably the best menu anywhere. It's rare that I struggle to choose between 5 or 6 starters and a similar number of mains, especially from a one-page menu! Great service, wonderful food, lovely beer, and a sensible price.

This pub is now in my top 5 in Essex! The pub is your typical oldy worldly building with beams and open fire, lots of parking, lots of seating, and a massive car park. Staff friendliness and service was second to none! Food was amazing! I had the steak and Gunness pie (recommend by waitress) and it was perfect, full with filling and crusty pastry. Made by the chef which they said most food is made and prepared on site. We all loved the food here so much obviously we had to squeeze in dessert which was made up fresh on ordering. So glad we came here by chance as we will definitely be back here. I highly recommend you visit to eat and also may be worth booking as it did get busy by the time we left at lunchtime.
