The Six Bells, Chelmsford

This is Greene king pub, so expect the usual ales. But they did have St Edmunds on, which is a light lager coloured ale – not too strong at 4.2%, and tasted better than the IPA. On a sunny Saturday the pub was pretty busy with families dining, no doubt because of the large garden with children's swings, slides, etc. It's pretty comfortable inside; nicely laid out with normal tables and chairs. The service was not fast, but one couldn't complain bearing in mind the numbers with which they were having to cope. I think this is a fairly decent pub; not top notch but pretty good.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND this pub. We went seeking a relaxed Saturday lunch as it was recommended to us as being quaint and good. however, when we arrived the waitress there was exceptionally rude so much so that we couldn't bring ourselves to stay for a pint. Amazing considering we found the Fox and Raven just five minutes away, which was serene and much more picturesque with a much more inviting staff. you'd think they'd take all the customers they could get at "six bells" with better competition around the corner...

Again,another foody pub just along the road from The Cock.Not much in the way of real ale and very pricy.
