Here you will find some seafood specials and British cuisine.

If you’re looking to have a bar crawl, the only way is Chelmsford lads. All of the best hotspots are based around one another, which means you can stumble in and out of places pretty easily and get a taste for everything Chelmsford has to offer.

Brentwood

Brentwood’s nightlife is famous itself, having featured on shows like TOWIE as the backdrop for all the drama. One of the stars’ favourite places is Sugar Hut, a stylish venue with multiple cocktail bars and themed nights to get stuck into.
