"Fantastic restaurant I’ve been there many times over the years. This is a family owned restaurant and the food is always great. I have been there with my wife or with my children and we have always been made very welcome. We have never ever been asked for a tip so I suspect the reviews that say this are potentially fake it’s just not in the nature of the people that work there based on my experience. Sometimes the service can be a little slow but that’s because the food is home cooked and the restaurant is busy particularly at weekends. We will be back there this weekend in a party of 8 it’s essential we support these independent restaurants as Chelmsford is full of chains so I’d recommend El Chegre to anyone looking for a taste of Spain. House wine has always been fab in my experience."

It is a year since our last review. Delighted to say that El Chigre continues to deliver fabulous food and warm and wonderful service. Probably the best choice of restaurant in Chelmsford!

I honestly have no words, the food here just completely takes the cake! I didn’t like tapas before coming here and my friends convinced me to try it one more time, and I’m so glad I did!!! It’s the most delicious Spanish food I’ve ever had! Definitely a must visit!!!

What a shame. Nice food but service was a let down which is such a surprise as it used to be brilliant. Came for a birthday meal and sat with an empty glass all evening. The one glass of rose I did have was pretty awful. I think it’s important restaurants treat families with as attentive service as they do tables of adults

We’ve been here numerous times but not for a while. We were not let down. It was better than ever. The service was as always very friendly and attentive. The food, which we ordered loads of, was delicious with portion sizes perfect. If your a tapas lover this really is more than worth a visit. We won’t be leaving it so long next time.

This has been on my ‘to visit’ list for a while after hearing several recommendations and it was lovely! We were a group of 5 and ordered two different tapas each for our table to share there was a great variety on the menu and there was plenty enough for us each to try everything. The staff were attentive and helpful and the owner came and chatted to us too which was nice, it felt very welcoming and homely. Will definitely be back with the family in tow!
