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.
Healthy eaters rejoice: there are ample nourishing options to whet your appetite, like a ‘Protein Bowl’ jammed full of brown rice, spinach, poached egg and topped with either salmon, tofu or chicken. Wash it down with a Picklehouse Bloody Mary and be sure to take a croissant with you on your way out.
Wind your way through the bustling town centre before departing from Chelmsford Rail Station, just over a ten-minute walk away.
