THE REVIEW
RESTAURANT REVIEW OF BAROOSH
Baroosh is situated in Chelmsford's town centre and opened in September 2006. This bar/restaurant is an over 21’s venue, providing good food, cocktails and a large range of quality wines and other beverages.
The menu offers a good selection from lighter bites and salads, to dishes from the grill, special dishes of the day and my favourite – the sharing platters which are great for a selection of tasty bits to graze to go along with a nice bottle of wine! Whether you’re relaxing with friends, having brunch, lunch, or dinner, Baroosh has something going on. This includes free live music on the last Thursday of every month, Sunday lunch and an excellent prix fix evening menu which changes monthly.
The bar/restaurant has an impressive copper bar as you enter and relaxed seating and decorative wood panels on the wall. This modern, comfy venue feels relaxed and upbeat, warm and fresh.
The food itself arrived fairly quickly and looked tasty, with the grazing slate for the starter, which was very nice. The food is all cooked to order and the chefs use where possible, local ingredients in all of their dishes. The beef burger was extremely good, and has been named before ‘Chelmsford’s Best Burger’ which is completely homemade with high quality meat..
Over 21s
Baroosh is an over 21s bar and children are not permitted, so this means it’s a great place for a more civilised evening with a balanced crowd of mixed ages, but all over 21!
Book Your Table Online
If you want to make certain that you have a reserved table then simply book online and Baroosh will get back to you to confirm the booking.
The Bar Atmosphere
The advantage with Baroosh as opposed to a standard restaurant, is that you get the whole bar atmosphere, which is a bit more lively, feels more like an evening out, but without being over the top.
Fancy a Late Night?
For many people when you have had a good meal out, you are not ready to leave after the desserts. With Baroosh you can carry on enjoying yourself in the bar for the rest of the evening.
Events
With a whole mix of different events including Jazz Brunch/Lunch, live music on the last Thursday of every month, and special menus for days like St Georges Day. Check The Face of Chelmsford’s What’s On Guide every month on page 39 or visit www.baroosh-chelmsford.co.uk for more details.
