Galvin Green Man

Went for the wife's birthday last week, we had booked via the website but when we got there we were told there was not a table booked in our name, it turns out we had been lead onto a different place on line and booked a pub in Harlow !! The staff were superb and fitted us in to a dining area at the end of the bar which was brilliant, there were 8 of us. From start to finish the service, food and drinks were excellent. We will definitely be back. Thank you.

Outstanding to say the least! We were greeted with a glass of champagne which went down a treat. For starters we enjoyed the duck liver parfait & ham & chicken terrine, followed by the best steak we’ve ever eaten - the chateaubriand is a choice you won’t regret! Delicious, tender, tasty & quite easily one of the best dishes. Desserts saw us take on the lemon meringue tart and burnt basque cheesecake - both exceptional. If you need a reason to visit, the chateaubriand is worth it alone!

Galvin Green Man in Chelmsford is a cozy pub set in a charming old building with warm, inviting lighting. The place is clean and well maintained, creating a relaxed atmosphere. The menu offers classic British dishes with a modern touch. The haddock was one of the best I have had in London. The staff is friendly and attentive, making sure guests feel welcome. Prices reflect the quality and care in the food. The bathrooms are clean and well kept. Overall, it’s a great spot for a quality meal in a comfortable setting.

I had the rib eye steak cooked medium, and the food overall was nice. The steak was flavorful and cooked as requested. However, it came with fries that were left sitting in the sauce, which made them soggy—definitely a letdown. I’d say the fries were quite poor because of that. I also tried the garlic with focaccia bread, and unfortunately, that wasn’t nice at all—bland and disappointing. On a positive note, the service was lovely. The waitress was nice and friendly, which added a pleasant touch to the experience.

I only have good things to say about the Galvin Green Man. I orginally reviewed this restaurant as quite average having been left disappointed after an anniversary meal. The staff reached out to me to apologise and invited me to try their food again. My wife and I went today for a Sunday roast. The food was immaculate, very tasty and cooked perfectly. Both my wife and I had the beef and chicken duo and can recommend it to anybody visiting. Staff were attentive and did a great job of making sure everything was okay without being too intrusive. One of the best roasts ive had locally.

Great warm and friendly from the moment you step inside. My wife and I were greeted by all colleagues we interacted with. Our server Ellie/Erin (apologies) was lovely and went out of her way to ask a question of the chef on the size of the sharing chateaubriand steak. Lovely fresh food, prepared amazingly well. Definitely will be returning again and again!

We were lucky to get a Valentine’s Day booking at Galvin Green Man; the food was great, the service amazing and personalised (thanks Emma!) and even though we were seated in the pub, the atmosphere was wonderful and the table was spacious. As a vegan, I was apprehensive about the set menu, but I was reassured on the phone before our booking that there would be options. On the day, I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food, each menu item was delicious and both my non-vegan boyfriend and I agreed that the mushroom risotto was the best we both had ever had. Overall, I would highly recommended Galvin for both those who have dietary requirements and those who are happy to have anything on the menu. The portion sizes were generous, the quality of the food was high and the service was fantastic.

Beautiful family meal on Sunday for two birthdays. Would love to see the local distillery Essex Spirits stocked as well as Chelmsford's leading brewery, Radio City. Exceptional customer service too. Thank you.

Great food and lovely setting. Always a special treat when dining here and looking forward to the next visit.

If you are ever in the Essex area this is a real gem and worth a visit. Lovely surroundings and above all fantastic food. Service is polite, friendly and second to none. Definitely be coming back
