In the restaurant, a Continental and cooked breakfast is available in the morning for a surcharge. Muesli, yoghurt and fresh fruit is also available. Using fresh, local produce there is also a lunch and dinner menu available. The menu also includes a ‘Huffer’ filled sandwich, popular with the locals.

Very accomodating room, squeaky clean, good food in the pub. They even reserved a table for us, which they normally don't do.

Located in Chelmsford and with Chelmsford Train Station reachable within 500 metres, The Ship provides a restaurant, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi and a bar. The property is set 8.7 km from Hylands Park, 23 km from Freeport Braintree and 31 km from Upminster. Gants Hill is 37 km away and Hedingham Castle is 38 km from the inn.

Other than the fact we could not find our way out of the pub as it is an absolute maze upstairs and no signage we had a lovely time. Really nice room and bathroom.

    No breakfast offered in this location but complimentary breakfast cereal bars and tea bags etc provided. Lovely beamed decent sized room, self controlled heating/Aircon unit, comfortable bed, good bathroom (extractor fan broken). Food in restaurant/pub very good, large variety - reasonable price for the quality and quantity but not cheap. Plenty of garden seating. Location very close to town and river walk. I would recommend this Inn.

    The Riverside Inn is really oldie worldie. The room has lots of original oak beams and features. Lots of little extras too like a coffee machine, teas and biscuits 😁 It is conveniently located next to a large shopping mall so ideal for food or other stuff you might need. There is a lovely walk next to the river Chelmer

    Venue was beautiful and everything was well kept, all of the staff were amazing and very accommodating for us on the night and at our dinner we had booked! Couldn’t be more happy with the above and beyond service they provided! Bed, mattress, pillows, duct and sheets was probably the best of anywhere I’ve stayed, slept better than ever! Couldn’t be happier with our stay, many thanks for having us.
