Blue Scrumpy left this review about The Oddfellows Arms
This place situated just outside Chelmsford's centre is now called the Oddfellows Arms Smokehouse and specialises in BBQ food.
It still has more of a pub feel than a restaurant and both the inside and outside drinking areas were busy on our late Saturday evening visit.
Staff were friendly, but prices here are expensive. My round of half a bitter, half a cider and a soft drink came to £8. We chose to eat too and whilst there was plenty of food in the platter my wife and I shared, that wasn't cheap too.
Dark Star Hophead is the regular beer here. Guests were Adnams Ghost Ship & Chelmsford Blueshack Bitter. I ordered the Bitter, which was fairly insipid.
Staff were friendly, the atmosphere was good and we enjoyed our food. I'd give the place the benefit of the doubt and would consider a return visit, but I have to admit to be surprised to this pub's inclusion in the latest Good Beer Guide.
