The Windmill Chatham Green

The Windmill remains the best restaurant in, or around Chelmsford, by a country mile mile. The menu caters for unmatched quality that simply cannot be matched in the surrounding area. Thank you for another fabulous meal without needing to travel into London!

Simply outstanding. We celebrated our daughter’s 18th birthday here with the 8 course tasting menu. The food, presentation and service was top notch in a lovely relaxed atmosphere. It was a perfect evening and fabulous value for money. Well worth a journey for a visit - you will not be disappointed!

What a find! This little restaurant is tucked away but close by the A131. The greeting was lovely and we were made to feel very welcome for our lunchtime booking. We did worry initially that service was going to be slow but soon realised that the new member of staff was still learning the ropes! Once we got underway the service was impeccable. The food came out with precision timing. And my goodness it was so delicious! Every course was filled with wonderful flavours and presented exquisitely! The portion size was just perfect and we did not leave feeling hungry! Many thanks to you all. We will certainly return to The Windmill!

Outstanding. My parents and I went here and it was simply 10/10. Accommodating, caring and genuinely lovely people. Thank you so much and we will be back.

First visit but will not be the last. My Father and I went for a Sunday roast to celebrate my birthday. As soon as we stepped inside, you could feel the warm, friendly, and welcoming ambience. The food was cooked to 95% perfection. We both had lamb, and it was juicy, tender, and still a little pink, just how it should be. My only criticism is that the shell of the potatoes was too hard, not crispy but hard. Even using a steak knife, it was difficult to get inside the shell, but once you did, you were glad that you had persevered as the inside was light fluffy and tasty. The service was quick and efficient without being obtrusive. There was no waiter standing at the end of the table, but one was there as soon as you looked up, perfection! 👌. I didn't have a sweet and regret it. My Father did, and it looked amazing 👍. The owner knew it was my birthday and made a special birthday platter which made me feel really special (I'm 58 and it made me blush 😊). As well as excellent food there is a very well stocked bar and even a cocktail menu. A rare but welcome sight these days. I'm already planning our next visit. A perfect place to take a lady (speaking from a mans point of view) for a romantic, impressive good value first date

We came across this place on our way home from Sudbury. The warm welcome and customer service was great. Lovely bar area and the toilets were decorated lovely and clean. We didnt eat here butbthe food coming out of the kitchen looked amazing.

My husband and I ate here very last minute and what a gem! The staff are amazing, so welcoming and take the time to explain every dish. The food is impeccable! We did the 5 course tasting menu and it was such a treat. Something so different to your standard pub food. They were also so great with our dog, giving her treats. We highly recommend it!

Lovely environment, great service, excellent food. The best Sunday roast I have had with really special, interesting starters beforehand.
