Went for a Cocktail Master Class (for a Hen do) and the staff made it a great night to remember. We stayed for a nice dinner too. The whole evening was heaps of fun and it's definitely something I can recommend.

Treated my mum and my three children for lunch yesterday afternoon, just as we sat down the lovely girl informed us there will be a little wait for food (about half an hour) which we said was absolutely fine, we sat down, were given lots of time to look at the menu - bless her (we were rather indecisive) and ordered our drinks and food, the waiting time was more than fine - I didn’t think it was as long as half an hour! Food was amazing and service was amazing too!!! Thank you very much xxxx

Thank you so much for a great buffet lunch for my sons 18th Birthday. Lovely food & very friendly staff!

Only popped in for a drink, the staff were lovely and friendly, Dominique really made me feel welcome and her service standards were above and beyond, thankyou xx

Only popped in as from the outside it looked welcoming, what a lovely find! Full English very reasonably price, quality 5*. Staff really friendly, decor lovely & inviting! Will definitely be back for food or evening drinks - highly recommend you try this place out �

Only just found this little gem. Went in with my husband and 11 month old baby. The staff were really lovely and couldn’t do enough for you. The food tasted fresh and had different things on the menu than your usual pub. Dogs are allowed but the place doesn’t smell of dog. Will definitely be going back. Good price too.

Nice to find aa fresh place in Chelmsford, good real ale, friendly staff.

Me and my friend visited for the first time today and it definitely did not disappoint! The food was amazing, and the price was very reasonable, it was definitely worth it! We were served by Ellis, and he was incredibly welcoming and friendly, and he could not do enough for us, nothing was too much to ask! The overall atmosphere there was wonderful, I would definitely visit here again!

Lovely bar, good food, friendly service and great for babies and young children. Very understanding staff, I very much recommend

Love this place!!!!

It’s the second time i’ve been there. Had lunch with a friend today. The food was lovely, the wine was nice and the staff are very friendly and attentive. Definitely will be going back there!!!

Love the food at the Bootmaker but was a bit annoyed they closed the kitchen at 7.55 when I asked for food. Bit rubbish TBH

Had the peri peri chicken sweet potato fries and slaw..... absolutely delicious!! Such succulent chicken and lovely creamy homemade slaw. Perfect portion size and perfect price!.....will definitely return!

Had a few drinks and then decided to eat and had a great chicken burger and chips! Great food great service and nice staff �

Decided to have a look, a nice clean and tidy pub in the city centre polite door staff, friendly bar staff and a nice atmosphere. I saw they did food but it was late at night when I was in and the kitchen was shut.

Third time we’ve been in for lunch, very friendly waitress who made us welcome and nothing was too much trouble, the food we chose was lovely especially the nachos.

Great venue. Found it a bit hit last night but overall great place for a drink and friends to get together.

Great Iced Coffee & Cheeseburgers! Even BETTER is that its fully aircon! Bliss! Staff were very efficient, lovely comfy seating and very clean

Popped in for lunch after being ignored by the staff at least 20 minutes gave up and walked out.The staff are way too busy chatting and laughing at the bar

Popped in for a quick drink, staff didn’t appear to know much about the beers and “froth” on the top, when asked for a top up, due to more froth than beer, they apparently went off to change the barrel, we were ignored for 10 minutes, when we asked where the beer was- the staff poured another beer without asking which replacement we would like- virtually threw it at my husband and walked off. Appalling service, bring back Baroosh all is forgiven.
