I have been visiting Stewart's with a group of friends since 1995 and until yesterday never had a…read morenegative experience. The jacket potato was obviously cooked in a microwave because the skin was soft and rubbery instead of crisp and tasty as it always was in the past. The crispy bacon bits have gone replaced by a slice of flabby microwaved bacon. Stewart's traditional leaf tea unique to Chelmsford has been replaced with the usual tea bags. We reserved a table as we always do only to find we were placed at tabled jammed up against a wall one of my friends was so close to the next table that she hardly had space to sit down and an ather friend was so close to the wall she had to sit with her legs one each side of the table leg, not very comfortable. If you come without booking then you expect to take pot luck but not if you have booked in advance. One of my friends decided to try american pancakes (new on the menu) in an american cafe/dinner they would be served freshly cooked from the griddle not out of a supermarket packet heated up in the microwave. The revampted Stewart's is certainly getting full use from their microwave. The coffee pot leaked so badly we used all our napkins to mop up the table. Next month it will be 'Cherry On Top' and from now on. What a pity.

Fantastic sarnwich bar. Situated behind the main high street, well worth the trek to find it…read more The staff are great, especially the manager. It is a very social place, even though it is super tiny, and generally a small queue which is worked through quickly. They offer different types of breads and rolls and everthing is made up fresh infront of your eye, whatever combo you want! They also sell drinks, crisps, chocolate and hot drinks. Since stopping working in town I must admit I miss their prawn sarnies delicious.
