Great service, fantastic food clean and tidy place inside and out.
For anyone passing through the area this place is defiantly and place to visit. Highly recommend
Lovely Sunday lunch with friends & family...the food was fabulous ...we all tried quite a variation...the Roast Beef & Roast Lamb were both full of flavour & tender with perfect roast potatoes , a hearty yorkshire & steamed veg.
The Chicken breast was served beautifully & tasted just as good.The fish was coated in a crispy beer batter with chips that were crisp on the outside but soft & fluffy potato inside.
We enjoyed a selection of desserts & each one tasted delicious.
lovely atmosphere with great service from friendly staff.....a real treat !!
Fantastic!! We went following a recommendation and it lived up to the hype. Friendly welcoming staff and atmosphere. High quality gastro pub food, the squid was top restaurant standard
I would highly recommend to everyone, can't wait to visit again soon.....

Lovely place, really friendly, helpful staff and amazing food, would thoroughly recommend!
Such a lovely little place with a real family pub atmosphere. Great food, great service and great location. Already planning next visit.
Love the food, service and ambience. Our menu favourites have to be your roast pork and pork belly - just for the crackling!
Popped in for lunch yesterday - amazing food as usual and very friendly and attentive waiter
This is a lovely little quaint place with wonderful food. Everyone in there cannot do enough for you . This is the second time we've been , lunch before and now Dinner . It is defiantly a favourite of ours.
Absolutely delicious food
Perfect atmosphere
All the staff were lovely
We shall be back very soon my partner is still talking about the strudel
Went here last night, chose it because it was local but my oh my goodness hat a great choice local or not, the place is lovely and homely and clean and cosy, the staff were brilliant friendly and helpful and not stuffy or pushy in the least. The wine list is great and the food, well........all I can see is the chef definitely knows how to cook pork! We both had to have the same main as we're are belly pork lovers and we were not disappointed at all, it's was melt in the mouth gooood.
We had 3 courses and a good bottle of merlot and Inc tip was £85, which to be honest in this day and age is hardly expensive for the type of food we were lucky enough to indulge in. We will definitely be back and will highly recommend this great little restaurant. As a chef myself I like to go out for good food and I left satisfied, full and somewhat inspired.
Service and staff really good. Food a bit over priced but good. It does amaze me with most restaurants including this one, when your food arrives the waiter asks you if you want any sauces then disappears for 5 minutes. Ask before we get our food.
Very nice gastro pub. I had this great "Super Roast" (turkey, beef, gammon, sage and pork stuffing, pork belly and some crackling sticks) all excellent quality meat. It was busy, but it was not noisy and easy to have a conversation, and the staff contributed to a lovely atmosphere. I would recommend without hesitation.
Stopped on the way past and had a great brunch. Service from the 2 young chaps was brilliant, very friendly and nothing was too much trouble.
One of the very best meals I've ever eaten in my life, what more can I say?
Fabulous cosy atmosphere, attentive friendly staff. I absolutely loved my evening at the Folly Bistro.
Great lunch! Loads of choices on set menu, fantastic food and great service from friendly staff. Highly recommend
Superb food, great service and good value - a very classy two-course lunch for two (including the best steak I've had in a long while) with coffee for £55.
A great meal with staff so great in every way. My sister had a great day as we were able to be the last people in on the Sunday as friends could not get their any earlier for Linda's birthday meal. Thanks to all the staff.
We chose this restaurant to celebrate a special birthday, and we weren't disappointed. It has all the elements we look for, a good location, friendly attentive staff and very good food which we felt was more than fairly priced. Catering for eight on a Saturday afternoon, we had a very enjoyable lunch and will definitely return to this little gem.
While visiting London for Christmas 2019, we went here with friends who live just down the road from it.
AMAZING! A typical English Pub as an American would think it to be, yet menu was AMAZING!
Even had a vegetarian vegetable dish that as a meatarian I chose because the root vegetables were great ones!
The deserts were great and of course the ale, beer, or watchever the current PC term is, was great. Great wine choice too.
We had a fun dinner with friends in their 'comfort' place and it was warm, friendly, accepting of us ignorant Americans, and a great deal.
A visit I will remember and if in Chelmsford again, I would eat there again!
Great place. Again, the PEOPLE madr it that much better.
Sorry, my original post went off before I had finished. I wanted to give 5 stars and say that we thoroughly enjoyed our visit on Sunday. The meal was very nice and all the staff were lovely. A special thanks to the lovely lady who lent my husband her glasses so he could read the menu. We shall return and hopefully with more friends.
Excellent
We have just returned home after having a very enjoyable lunch. The food was excellent and the service superb. We were served by Gareth who was very attentive, he made us feel we were the only customers dinning when infact the restaurant was very busy. It is also great value. This is not the first time of visiting and it will definitely not be the last.
Very nice food. Tables seated with thought so the kitchen can serve top quality without long wait. Not cheap, but still good value. We shall return.
Amazing food. Tasted awesome. Brilliant service too. A real step above a lot of other bistro pubs in Essex.
Popping back to Essex to visit family, I realised I hadn't been here for 30 years. The place has changed a bit. With the help of the very funny Peter, not only did I learn a few more dad jokes, but I had one of the best Saturday lunches I have ever had. The food was excellent, as was the friendly service. A lovely place to spend a few hours relaxing. Will return
First time here, we booked for lunch, lovely surroundings and friendly staff. We had the lunch menu and
Wasn’t disappointed, food was very good and tasty. Reasonable price, service charge is added to your bill.
Would happily go here again, definitely book as can get busy.
The food was delicious, fantastically cooked with great flavour. There were more staff this time, so they seemed a lot more relaxed and cheerful. It's not the cheapest place to eat, but I don't feel out of pocket, you really do get what you pay for here.
