The mother and daughter team behind A Canteen are not the only reason for the family feel – the homely food and welcoming interior do the trick, too.

It’s an open-plan space, yet the cosy atmosphere and comfy seats give it a contemporary yet rustic feel.

Food lovers rejoice: there are ample glorious options to whet your appetite, like 'Nduja Eggs' with a flatbread, poached eggs, nduja, hot honey, caramalised onion and mint. Wash it down with 90 minutes of bottomless prosecco or a lager. 

Wind your way through the bustling town centre before departing from Chelmsford Rail Station, just over a ten-minute walk away.

    My 7 year olds favourite place to go in Chelmsford. He enjoys the waffle, bacon and maple syrup - which isn’t actually on the menu but the staff always offer to do it for him, which is super cool. I had the small breakfast in this occasion and it was very tasty. The big stand out was the sausage which was rich and flavoursome. Staff were fun and welcoming which is always the case and we had a really pleasant time Saturday morning. Will be back no problem.

    Fantastic breakfast and service from Red! Highly recommend the French toast banana bread - the best banana bread I’ve ever had!! We will definitely be coming back.
