Russells - Menu

Great lunchtime meal. The salmon was especially good. We were the only ones there on a Thursday lunchtime. Given the quality on the food, and the very competitive price, this place deserves to be much more popular.

Barry hosted a fantastic pre wedding family meal for 30 people. As usual the food was incredible and service second to none. Our gluten free diners said the chocolate desserts were the best every. Thanks to Barry and his team!! :

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

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

Having visited once, we couldn’t wait to come back and introduce my parents to this fabulous restaurant. It happened to be Burns night, and my goodness the menu was incredible. I went outside my comfort zone and tried chicken stuffed with haggis it was mind blowing! The service was outstanding as always. Treat yourself, you won’t regret it!

First time visit to this restaurant; and we can't wait to return. Everything we ate was delicious, and that's coming from fussy eaters! Cannot fault it. Yes, it's not cheap (more for a special occasion), but I'd rather pay a bit more and get really lovely food and wine. Barry made us feel like valued customers, and the chef came out so that we could tell him how much we loved the food. All in all would definitely recommend.

This is a hidden gem. Nestled in the back streets of great Baddow this restaurant is a joy to behold. We visited on 12th April 2022. The restaurateur and front of house could not have been more welcoming. I duffer from being allergic to gluten and dairy as well as intolerant to tomatoes. The chef Nd front of house were super accommodating and almost the whole menu could be adapted. The wine choices were were great and overall was a wonderful experience and great value for money. I hope everyone visits here. They really deserve to be busy. We will definitely come back.

As experienced food enthusiasts, we are amazed that we had never dined at this restaurant before. It's truly a shame because the food here is exceptional. We will definitely be making up for lost time by returning. The restaurant is spacious and welcoming, with a staff that is friendly and pleasant. We enjoyed a set menu lunch during the week with a variety of great options. The food was outstanding, creative, and beautifully presented. The complimentary bread before our meal was a lovely touch, as it is rare to see in restaurants nowadays. Coming from the Southend area, where there are many restaurants, none compare to Russells. Chelmsford is truly fortunate to have such a fantastic restaur...

Russell's provided catering for our wedding 30 years ago, and we decided to celebrate our 30th anniversary with a dinner at the same place. The young and vibrant team welcomed us warmly, not realizing we had been there before. They made us feel at home, offering us a glass of champagne while we looked over the menu. When I mentioned I wanted a dish that wasn't on the menu, the waitress happily suggested the chef could whip something up fresh for me. The risotto I received was fantastic, with a delicious combination of flavors. The portion size was generous, unlike some other high-end restaurants. The service was exceptional, with just the right amount of attentiveness. The chefs even came ou...
