The Clay Pigeon Pub - Chelmsford

I recently met up with some friends at this pub and was impressed by the extremely friendly staff who even let me charge my phone while I waited for my friends to arrive. The owners, who are a couple, have a family-oriented approach to running the pub, creating a great atmosphere that feels more like being part of an extended family than just a regular pub. I would highly recommend this place to anyone in the area looking for a relaxed venue for a social gathering or a quick catch-up. The food may be simple, but it is good.

First time of coming here, will definitely return. Clean and pleasant surroundings, decor nice,lots of t.v screens, plenty of seating. Staff very polite ,friendly and attentive. Nice relaxing atmosphere for a meal or drink. Food portions are a decent size and very good value for money. All food was well cooked and delicious. Had a very enjoyable meal n drinks... thankyou, will return again

I went to the Clay Pigeon this morning for a satisfying breakfast, which was very tasty. The unlimited tea and coffee was a nice touch, as often you finish your drink before the food arrives. The service was great and the food was delicious.

Despite the lackluster ambiance, the food exceeded our expectations. We ordered nachos for a starter and were pleasantly surprised by the generous portion size and delicious flavor. The mains were also outstanding and the prices were reasonable. The food here definitely leans more towards a gastro pub experience rather than standard pub fare. I can't wait to return and try more dishes from the menu, and I hope that the atmosphere improves next time. It would be a shame to miss out on such great food due to the subpar ambiance.

We have visited the Clay Pigeon for a Sunday Roast, and In our opinion it is a hidden gem on the Tile Kiln Estate. The Sunday roast is outstanding quality and quantity. We recommend that you try out the food, and support our local community pub. The service is good, and Andy and Kate are very welcoming as are the staff.
