Lovely family meal at the end of the summer holidays with a table of 7. Relaxed atmosphere, cosy restaurant and good value for money A la Carte and Set Menu options. Nice wine and drinks list and well worth a visit for anyone in the Chelmsford area.
Thoroughly impressed with Russell's! Birthday meal on a Friday evening, excellent selection on the menu, and drinks too. The building is lovely and staff were good. Not cheap but not silly prices and we were happy with them considering the quality of the food, lamb was lovely, steaks cooked well too. My only minor negative was I don't think strawberry and mint worked together with the hazelnut cheesecake. Also had a good sized portion of bread & butter pudding. Imo russells just needs to build up more of a presence on social media to make it more popular as nobody else I know has heard of it, I saw it on a food bloggers page.
Popped in for a birthday off of a recommendation from a friend and it was a spot on recommendation. The service to start was great, when you arrive your coats are taken and you're shown to a quiet sitting area to talk and go over the menus, here you're told the specials and get a chance to ask any questions and have your first drinks. From there after a few minutes, and once your order has been taken you're shown your table and starters come out, from there it's a fairly normal meal in terms of courses. The service we found to be excellent, whenever you need service there's normally someone around to give the nod to, which is fantastic. The food was really impressive, everything was well presented and excellently done. The steaks were cooked exactly to order too. We'll be returning, and if you're looking for a place to try, I'd encourage you to try it too. Highly recommended.
Yesterday we enjoyed a lovely family Sunday lunch. We were all given a friendly welcome when we arrived which continued throughout the afternoon. The food was good and was matched by the service. It’s quite easy to see why there were a lot of regulars dining there. Would definitely recommend and hope to return one day soon.
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.
Expensive but worth every single penny plus a tip! - Food is exquisite, service is attentive, fresh baked bread rolls are superb. If only I could eat here every day.
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.
We went for Sunday roast; lovely place and the staff were friendly and efficient. I'm being a little bit hard as the prices are not the cheapest. Nothing was awful and I don't expect wheelbarrows full of food if the quality was good. I had scallop with prawns for started and the scallop was quite small and over cooked. The meat was also a little underwhelming on the main, my lamb was O.K. but the kids pork and beef were a bit over cooked and not that great in my opinion. My Yorkshire pudding was also very dry and overcooked. Sorry but I have had better.
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.
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
