County Hotel Chelmsford, Crystal Ballroom

Dined 1/2/26 Lamb and beef roast dinners were amazing, cooked to perfection. Fresh not prosessed. If you are passing give this place a try, car park on site. Kristie our waitress was very friendly and helpful. 5 stars from us.

We used the bar/ restaurant for relaxed lunch and to check the location out for a business meeting next Friday.The overall experience was great! 👍 Parking excellent, I have a blue badge, there were adequate facilities both parking and toilet. I'm not great on my feet but found the concrete carpark ok and the slightly raised decking fine for my purposes. Thresholds we also not a problem. The bar/restaurant was perfect for a relaxed lunch. We had Butternut squash, Sourdough with butter and two types of coffee. The location is super convenient for business meetings. 📍 Service was laid back, the bar was comfortable. We preferred this to the dining room on this occasion and for the intended purpose, to check out the location for next Friday and our business appointment. We both loved the venue. An observation. The bar menu is rather similar in food offering to the restaurant and the prices the same. The style of the menu in each case different, the restaurant menus delicately charming. The bar menu glossy and a little bit louder, though not at all out of place. We had a lovely lunch at rather reasonable price. Surroundings were pleasantly furnished, toilets clean, staff attentive. We will be back. Suits our purpose on this occasion and the next planed visit we are certain will be well catered for. Thank you County Hotel Staff. TD

Very convenient for its close proximity to the train and bus stations and about 10 minutes walk to the city centre. Rooms were warm and comfortable. We didn't have breakfast as we thought it was a bit pricey.
