Reviews For The Wine Cellar Bar & Bistro

Absolutely brilliant place for bottomless brunch, our favourite in Chelmsford. The staff are amazing, can't do more to help. Food and atmosphere is great too. Highly recommend

Needed a place for a quick drink before going to a restaurant. Wanted to avoid the usual high street pubs and bars. The Wine Cellar is tucked away off Dukes Street hidden unless you know it's there. Despite its small size, it packs loads of atmosphere, and on the night we visited, it was busy and buoyant. Lots of wines to choose from as well as beers and spirits. Not the cheapest drinks menu in town, but it's worth it to get a decent glass of vino. Would recommend

Amazing little place hidden away in Chelmsford. Went for drinks to celebrate my partners birthday. Wine and gin menu was very extensive. Each gin had a thorough description. It was great to try some new gins. Staff were incredibly helpful and very friendly. Decorated bottle was a lovely touch and a great keep sake. Thank you.

I held a private bottomless brunch here and I could not have been more happy. The food was perfect and out bang on time for a group of 50. The service was incredible, Helen and Harry were a 5* team and I can't thank them enough for everything they done. No glass was ever empty and the atmosphere was amazing. Thanks so much!!
