One of Chelmsford's favourite beer gardens, Golden Fleece can sort you an absolutely killer breakfast.

Aside from being one of the best sports bars in Romford, The Bull also offers one of the most extensive breakfast and brunch menus in town. From big Irish fry ups in both meat and veggie varieties, to delicious filled baps and perfectly poached eggs, they've got it all, alongside cocktails and fizz to wash everything down with.
