We called in at The Plough out of my wanting to catch up with someone, known from a previous establishment, who now works there. The intention had been to move on after a couple of beers. Once at the bar we did not go on. The Plough has changed since my last visit, it seemed cleaner, more airy, with a reasonable range of ales to boot. The service was grand and it was good to see, after a bout of medical scares, my old acquaintance has lost none of their sparkle or volume. It was a decent venue where my companion, a colleague from working days, and I could swap our various news stories while enjoying a beer, or some more beers. Perhaps we were lucky it was a relatively quiet day in terms of the pub's trading, but it was certainly very good for us. We were there to drink, we did not eat.
Good service. Everyone enjoyed the food. My flatbread/pizza was so crispy and tasty. My friends said their burgers were top notch.
Only improvement I would say is to offer a better tab system. I was worried the whole time someone not in our party would get to know our tab number and start using it.
Took my daughter and my wife here today and was absolutely blown away by the friendly service and wonderful food the prices were reasonable and the portion sizes were perfect I highly recommend this for anyone stopping by It's absolutely delicious!!
Good selection of ales and beers and reasonably priced based on its location. Staff always friendly and the food is pretty good on the times I have eaten there. However, there have been no mirrors in the Gents for months but is quite amusing how they have the frames still hanging up. 😀 Recommend the pub though overall.
Excellent food, happy hour beer, wonderful time , tapas 👌
Great pub. My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Will definitely go again.
I was here on Saturday during the FA cup final and the staff were brilliant even though it was busy (particularly the supervisor Sam), great service and atmosphere and the food was some of the best pub food in Chelmsford. 10/10 recommend!
Another lovely pub located just behind the train station...clean and friendly sports shown on multiple screens...a wide range of drinks there is something for all here...I would highly recommend if you're visiting the beautiful city of Chelmsford.
First time visiting yesterday, came to watch the football, needed up staying and have food afterwards aswell, recommend the pizzas, they were really nice
Went to the plough last Wednesday. Sophie gave great recommendations on beers and we had the best time! Will definitely be back
