Popped in for a mid-week meal and the food and service were amazing. Took some friends who had never been before and they want to go back next week. Home made freshly cooked food is hard to find in Chelmsford..you won’t be disappointed with this restaurant..just wish I had taken some pics of our food, it looked and tasted Devine! �

We absolutely love Russells - we have never had anything less than a fantastic meal and all the staff are attentive and professional. There are some restaurants which are just a cut above the rest - this is one of them!
This restaurant is a must. Food is amazing. Staff so helpful and friendly. A beautiful restaurant. Our favourite
We went for our son's Birthday meal, excellent food and service as always.
Italian night was super, as always. My family and I love this restaurant
Fantastic family favourite with many memories made here!!!
Brilliant evening, fabulous food, really recommend the sharing dessert, the owner Barry couldn't do enough for us- without being intrusive. Will definitely be going back soon.
Hi we have been to this place a number of times and it has not failed us yet the food is always top quality and the service is great!! Weather it's Sunday lunch or the main one of the year Christmas dinner you will be impressed.
We were lucky enough to hold our wedding reception here. They were the only venue to give us exactly what we wanted without trying to change our minds. On the day the staff were fantastic and the food was amazing. Many happy memories made xxx
Wonderful food, friendly efficient service and a lovely decor. Thoroughly enjoyed our evening here.
Spent New Year eve here having 6 course dinner followed by disco, what a fantastic night. Each course cooked to perfection. Steak just as each of us had ordered. Best food I have ever had for a new year celebration. Thank you Barry and team for making us all feel like we were part of one big family on this special night. A triumph
Absolutely 1st class restaurant the food was fantastic as were the staff, the gluten free options were the best ive ever had we will definitely be returning. Thank you for a lovely evening.
Found this gem online, great service and even better food. Gluten free options and waiter service is second to none. Highly recommended.
We hired Russells to celebrate my 60th Birthday. It was an amazing evening. Food was delicious. The wine flowed. The entertainment was brilliant. Barry and his team pulled out all the stops to ensure it was an evening to remember. It was fantastic.
Very impressed
What a lovely atmospheric venue.
Whilst it was quite quiet on a Thursday lunchtime service was attentive and appropriate.
Starter choices were wide, I chose a beef carpaccio beautifully flavoured.
Main was a truly delicious Beef Tornedo Rossini.
We had the dessert quad plate and asked for one dish change. Chef was delighted to come out and tell us he liked our combination better the established one, so would be changing it. The frangipan was absolutely sensational.
The toilets were very clean.
Great visit to a beautiful venue
Second time we've tried it. Lovely food - lasagne for me, smoked haddock for the other half. Good service, nice setting.
Attended the Carribbean night. It was brilliant. Food was amazing! Choice huge. The flambé dishes were absolutely delicious. The steel band added to atmosphere and loads of guests dressed for the occasion. Highly recommended
On arrival we were made very welcome sat in lounge area for pre-dinner drinks. Meal was freshly cooked abd delicious coffee and liqueurs again in lounge area. Reasonably priced for a special meal. Would thoroughly recommend, can't wait to go back
Unusual looking location but there is a fantastic restaurant behind the front door. Lovely lounge area to sit in and have pre meal drinks. It makes a change to be taken to your table and not rushed into ordering. It was Sunday so we all had a roast which was perfect from the temperature of the food to the taste, we could not have asked for more. The deserts were great, not too big after the main course and we all agreed that they are worth leaving a little space for them. The waiting staff were very good and the owner was actively checking on all the tables with his great personality which gave a good atmosphere to the whole restaurant. As one of our group was French he arranged for the chef to visit our table at the end of the service. Russell's Restaurant is a great find and when we are next in Essex we will definitely be back.
I used this restaurant for a surprise 60th birthday meal, it was due to be closed but after contacting them they agreed to open for us. We had a private area which was amazing as there were children. The staff were incredible very attentive and managed they large group very well they couldn’t do enough for us. The food was delicious and great value.
I will definitely be back.
Great welcome, we went for Sunday lunch. exceptional service and food was plentiful with a good choice. Would definitely recommend and look forward to returning.
