Venue Details Address: 36 Arbour Lane Town/City: Chelmsford County: Essex Postcode: CM1 7RG Tel No.: 01245 256 783 Website: http://www.thealma.biz/ Opening Times: Monday - Saturday 12 - 2pm, 6 - 9.30pm, Sunday 12 - 8pm Ave. Price per couple: 50.00 Facilities: Parking • Function Room • Garden • Bar/Lounge The décor in the bar is now light, bright creams and greens with hot orange accents. There are two open fires in the front bar area with a non-smoking eating area. The all new bar seating is a combination of leather sofas, tub chairs and comfortable dining chairs on tiled floors. Three real ales on hand pumps are rotated weekly, past favourites have included Crouch Vale Brewers Gold and Nethergate Umbel Ale. There is a comprehensive wine list and eleven wines are served by the glass. The more formal restaurant area is stylish but intimate with a log burner in an inglenook fireplace and carpeted floor. Soft background music adds to the quiet sophisticated ambience. It opens up onto the pretty, secluded, fully enclosed south facing back patio garden with furniture at which to dine, weather permitting. Diners can expect an imaginative, modern, varied menu using seasonal produce.

Best eatery in Chelmsford?, Thursday, 28 January 2010 Written by SJHO My only concern about the Alma is it will continue to become known and it will become increasingly difficult to get a table! Definitely somewhere you will want to go back to again and again.

Let down by the food....., Saturday, 17 October 2009 Written by Ian We were disappointed with the food however. We did go on a midweek night so it may not have been the usual chef but the tuna steak was clearly not cooked in a hot enough pan as the outside was a palid grey colour, to be honest it probably would have been nicer if served as sashimi. The sea bass was cooked perfectly with a nicoise salad however there was just far to much onion in the salad. The creme bulee for desert was a disaster, the top had been over caramelised so it had a very bitter taste and the actual desert had not been properly cooked as it was cold at the bottom and hadn't set properly. All in all I don't feel the quality of the food merited the bill at the end of the meal. The chef may have just had a bad night, but as we're new to the area there are many other places to try before going back to the Alma.

Top Class Evening!, Monday, 08 June 2009 Written by Matt I was NOT disappointed! From the initial enquiry to the bill, the staff were friendly and helpful, the food was delicious and the restaurant itself cosy but not cramped. I'll certainly be going back, and even people who travelled up from Kent for the meal said they'd certainly like to visit again. If you don't try this place just once you have no idea what you're missing!
