Quinno _ left this review about The Ivory Peg (JD Wetherspoon)
Situated at the base of a modern (2000s?) block and apparently named after the discovery of an ivory tuning peg from a mediaeval musical instrument during construction. Layout is one long and fairly shallow room with a slightly raised area by the window, so quite light. Magenta and purple picked from the colour wheel. Four guest ales, my Wimbledon SW19 was really rather good (NBSS 3.5) which justifies the GBG listing. Chelmsford is hardly a town (sorry, CITY) of pubbing riches so based on my pint, this should be a default stop. 6.5

Our final stop in Chelmsford before a curry and the train journey home was the town's branch of Wetherspoon's.
Hoping to use a CAMRA voucher and not being able to use their app, we were seated in an area where table service was being offered, which I thought was quite a good idea. In line with other branches, ordering is at the table, payment is then taken at the bar and drinks are served to the table.
The usual suspects were on - Greene King Abbot, Ruddles Best & Sharp's Doom Bar. A guest beer was Bishop Nick Devine. Ciders were Weston's Old Rosie & Gwynt y Ddraig Black Dragon.
It's the usual 'spoon's open-plan layout with benign furnishings. Toilets are a trek upstairs and I managed to get reprimanded by a young member of staff for forgetting my face covering on my trip to the facilities.
Not the best end to a Chelmsford crawl. But the town certainly has plenty to offer.

Another day, another 'spoons. The service here was like every other 'spoons; the furnishings and decor are like every other 'spoons; etc, etc. But the guest beers here were £1.99 a pint, which struck me as a bit cheaper than London 'spoons. I had pints of Sambrook London Porter and Mauldon's Black Adder, and both were in good condition. I was in here for a Sunday lunch (although of course not the long lamented Sunday roast) with Mrs R's family, so will probably end up in here again. No problem with that of course.
