The award-winning New London restaurant has been on Chelmsford’s dining and social scene since October 2013 and it still is a relaxed yet sophisticated dining venue. The venue is full of elegance and glamour – now more than ever after an incredible redesign in March 2018.

We have a reputation for seasonally inspired menus with a unique approach to homemade food which makes the New London restaurant a special place to visit.

We pride ourselves on our excellent service with a personal touch. All our staff are proud of, and knowledgeable about, our dishes, wines and cocktails.

We offer only the best locally sourced and seasonal British produce including fresh seafood, locally sourced ingredients and foraged herbs. All our dishes are served in the inimitable style that has helped it garner so many compliments and awards since opening.

Always have a great time and the food is excellent! The dining area itself was extremely hot and borderline uncomfortable which affected our evening a bit. But overall excellent.

My friends & I visited last night. The food was absolutely amazing. I had the beef from the Christmas menu & it was the best piece of beef I have had for a long time. I would say it was cooked to perfection. The staff as always where very friendly & service was excellent. We always look forward to coming to this restaurant.
