Clay Pigeon

The food here is absolutely amazing, the roast dinners are out of this world. The staff are all super friendly and helpful. I love the pub and restaurant itself, has a great outdoor space. I know this place puts on alot of evening events, haven't yet attended any but can't wait to try them out. Very please to have this place so close to where I live 😀

Visited on a rare trip to my home town. A lot has changed at the Clay to make it clearly the "go-to" pub for easy walking distance. Our visit was on the jubilee night and featured a lively live band and a livelier audience making for an enjoyable (and for me, rare) evening of celebration. They appear to be keeping the spirit of old chelmsford pubs alive, a bastion of hope for small pubs that aren't trying to be more than they are.

Was absolutely lovely!! Never been here before nor heard of it but would definitely go back again and again and recommend. Outside area was big, spacious and kid friendly with a big play area but also an outside area for adults with no children so they could get away from any noise ha ha. Dogs were allowed to sit outside and inside when on a lead and they were no trouble. Staff were super polite, friendly and accomodating and the food, well was AMAZING!! You could tell it was home cooked for sure. Roast dinner, prawns, kids pizza, halloumi, garlic bread - couldn't fault a thing. And the price was extremely good too which was a bonus, plus we were able to watch the football from anywhere in the pub. It was very clean, looked like it had just been refurbished and was really nice. For a first experience I was super impressed and look forward to my next visit. Thanks to the team for being just brilliant ☺️

This pub was perfect. We are a large extended family who had celebrated 3 yr old's birthday at a soft play nearby. We arrived at the Clay Pigeon about 12.30 and the space inside was brill around a circular bar with an outer indoor eating area. There was a brill play area outside for our lively toddlers. The food was excellent and very reasonably priced. The two bar ladies were efficient and good communicators. Thank you!

We had heard the clay pigeon had changed management so thought we'd give it a try. The staff were friendly and welcoming. We ordered from the menu instead of having a Sunday roast, the food was tasty we all had something different, all were very happy with our meals... Would definitely go again and recommend it.

I've eaten twice here and both times have been excellent. The food is American style and cooked superbly and service is good. Prices are very reasonable too. The restaurant itself is separated from the pub, but if there is live music you may still here that. The Clay Pigeon is situated in the middle of an housing estate, but don't let that put you off. Recommended to all.
