Original Plough Chelmsford

Situated on Duke Street, Original Plough Chelmsford is hands down one of the most affordable restaurants in Essex. Enjoy mixing and matching 3 tapas for £12 or 5 tapas for £18. Think everything from pulled beef tacos to crispy king prawns and BBQ bao buns.

Sark

A more swish restaurant in Essex, Sark is a Mediterranean restaurant boasting the most delish Turkish fare. When you come during their lunch special from Monday to Friday, grab two courses for £8.95. We recommend pairing the aubergine salad with the chicken shish.
