On entry at 5.30 we had to wait a while before being seated even though it was empty. The restaurant looked very impressive nicely decorated and clean.
It took a long while before we were served for drinks and able to give our orders over. The waitress was quite flippant on her service towards us , she didn't ask us if we wanted the Monday offer, I had to ask if it was still available but we wasn't given the specific menu until I asked.
The garlic mushrooms were too salty and sickly for me.
The fillet steak was divine although it needed to rest longer as blood juices was on my plate when I cut into it
The lemon tart although beautifully presented was very sharp in taste for my liking.
The restaurant became very busy by 6.30pm and I noticed there needed to be some light background music to lighten up the atmosphere.
On the whole, very good quality food for the price would recommend a visit and wouldn't mind going back to try their Sunday roasts.

My 3rd visit to Ego Running Mare. Took some friends and was enjoyed by us all. Food was delicious but disappointed that the risotto had been removed from the menu. Had been looking forward to that as I’d had it on a previous visit.

Had a fantastic meal at Ego at The Running Mare in Chelmsford. The food was absolutely delicious – fresh, full of flavour, and beautifully presented. From starters to dessert, everything was spot on. What really made the evening special though was the service. Lucy-Anne looked after us brilliantly – warm, attentive, and genuinely lovely throughout. She made us feel so welcome and added a really personal touch to the evening. Highly recommend if you’re looking for great food and even better service.

We arrived a bit earlier than expected, but despite our early arrival, they warmly welcomed us and made us feel right at home. The staff greeted us with a smile and made sure we were comfortable from the moment we walked in. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, adding to the overall pleasant experience.
As for the food, it was nothing short of delicious. Each dish was prepared with care and attention to detail, resulting in flavors that were both satisfying and memorable.

Hands down my favourite restaurant locally. The service is always fast & the servers are very attentive. It’s a busy restaurant but the team are always giving 110% effort. Food is excellent and they have a great range. I love the Moroccan style lamb 👌🏽 Thank you for always giving us the best experience!
I’m looking forward to trying these mango & passion fruit Eton mess!
