Great little pub. Popped in with my daughter whilst staying locally suposedly for one drink but stayed for three plus a meal. Great attentive and friendly staff. Nice ambience. Will return.

Had burgers from "The Patty Guy" and they were delicious, best burgers we've had in Chelmsford. We collected our order, but had a quick drink and the staff were lovely, friendly and welcoming. Really lovely atmosphere in the pub. I would go back and eat in next time. Highly recommend the food and location.

What a pleasant surprise. As you walk in the door you're greeted by a sign saying welcome, which sums up how you'll feel when you visit the Compasses. We only stopped in for a quick pit stop, but were treated to friendly, smiley service from the outset by the two ladies on duty ???? A couple of beers, Coke, crisps and honey cashews saw us refreshed and on our way, but given the time we'll definitely return.

Really lovely family venue for Sunday lunch. Checked the website for the menu before we went but it only showed a very limited option. Upon phoning they confirmed they offered a full roast dinner. Perhaps the website should be updated? Food was excellent and standard sort of prices for what was offered. It was very quiet in there for a Sunday at 2pm, hope they don't struggle for trade as it is a great addition to the area.

Fantastic roast dinner, such an amazing refurb & such top quality food. I would say the price is well worth it. Great service, attentive staff. Nice selection of good food & drinks. I am so happy we now have such a quality local pub in the area. The old Compasses pub was a total dive - don’t be put off by the name being the same or the old pics still on google maps as it has completely changed!
