The New Street Brasserie is located within the ground floor of the Atlantic Hotel in New Street, Chelmsford. Due to its location it can be slightly difficult to find, but well worth the trouble. Jon Tindall’s reputation as a chef is so strong, that he is the first person to be voted a Masterchef of Great Britain on reputation alone - quite an achievement.
Based around a cosmopolitan menu with a huge selection of fish and seafood dishes, Jo and I were spoilt for choice when we went there a few weeks ago. The food was fantastic, the wine selection very decent and the price slightly above average at about £90 for two people.
So what did I have? Well, we’ve been twice now so I will give you details of the past two meals:

Meal One
Starter: Moules Marinière
Main: Steamed Lobster with a Caesar Salad on the side
Desert: Summer Fruits Cheesecake with fresh Raspberry Sorbet

Meal Two
Starter: Moules Marinière (Again!)
Main: Seafood Platter - Whole Cromber Crab, Mussels, Scallops, King Prawns & Oysters served on crushed ice
Desert: Chocolate Truffle Cake

Overall, the food is outstanding. Jo and I are both huge seafood lovers so this was a sumptuous banquet. Everything was perfect and the Moules Marinière were the best I have ever tasted and actually prompted me to send my compliments to the chef. They were the special the first time we went and had been put onto the main menu by our second visit due to popularity!

The New Steet Brasserie is not to be missed at gets a big THUMBS UP from the GingerNinja.
