http://www.essexrestaurants.com/ 104-1235 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/chelmsford-venues/chelmsford-restaurants/pinchos-wine-bar-and-tapas-chelmsford-essex.html As a fan of spanish food, Pinchos offers some of the best tapas I have experienced in this country. The food is always fresh and locally sourced where possible. The staff are very friendly and are always looking after the customers. Wine and beer selection is great and the specials on the menu always offer something a little different from the standard tapas selections. The rabbit is particularly good! Recommended for informal drinking and dining of all sorts, ambience is great. Fantastic music some evenings and great outside dining and drinking in the summer where you can watch the world go by. ]]> Fri, 23 Sep 2011 09:30:47 +0100 104-1035 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/chelmsford-venues/chelmsford-restaurants/pinchos-wine-bar-and-tapas-chelmsford-essex.html Can't resist writing this review to share our experience dining in this excellent restaurant. The food is excellent! Pinchos is a restaurant where you can chat with friends and enjoy the food and their lovely music. this is definately THE place to go for extraordinary tapas and have a very good time. The quality and diversity of dishes was impressive and it is also a great value for money. We went after reading the reviews and were not disappointed. The service matches fantastic food. We love this place, don't miss it! ]]> Wed, 11 May 2011 12:50:55 +0100 104-930 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/chelmsford-venues/chelmsford-restaurants/pinchos-wine-bar-and-tapas-chelmsford-essex.html i booked this for my boyfriends birthday, not realising it shut at 10 - we didn't arrive until a little after 9! i have to say because of this we felt very rushed - tapas is a meal that should be taken at leisure. i'm a little annoyed they didn't tell me that shut at 10 if they had i would have gone elsewhere - never known a restaurant to shut so early its pretty stupid!
we were seated upstairs where i have to say i was very disappointed with the decor, it was brightly lite with no candles or table cloths on the table - the website makes the restaurant look lovely - in real life its nothing like that!
the food i have to say was very good part from the patas bravas they looked burnt and didn't taste at all great! All in all i would go back but possibly for lunch and wouldn't book it for somewhere for a special occasion as it just isn't which is a real shame! ]]> Wed, 11 Aug 2010 11:50:19 +0100 104-887 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/chelmsford-venues/chelmsford-restaurants/pinchos-wine-bar-and-tapas-chelmsford-essex.html After years of talking about it, some old school friends and I finally arranged a lunch. We are all professional women, living in various parts of the country and Chelmsford was deemed a central point to meet. But where to eat? As a self confessed foodie, I took no chances and made sure out choice of venue came highly recommended and boy did my research pay off. I work in Spain and Portugal for much of the year but haven't found anywhere to match the qualitiy of tapas (don't get me started on the deep fried baby squid or I shall start drooling all over again). Every dish had a distictive flavour - tapas can be so samey in my experience, we put calory counting to one side and shared the amazing banana and apple pancakes. There was a fabulous choice of wine, the service was second to none and it was amazing value for money. We shall not leave it another ten years but will go back again and again!! ]]> Wed, 16 Jun 2010 19:07:01 +0100 104-774 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/chelmsford-venues/chelmsford-restaurants/pinchos-wine-bar-and-tapas-chelmsford-essex.html I am an ex British Airways longhaul hosty and have travelled all over the world, eating in the best restaurants and sampling all delights. During my flying years - when I was back in the country - the one place I could be found if I wanted to go out would be Pinchos - the ambience, the service, the food and wonderful warmth and welcome was always paramount. I now no longer fly - but I frequent Pinchos often as the atmosphere and friendliness of everyone is so inviting - why go else where I ask myself!!!! When the sun shines (although there are warming heaters outside when not so warm)- the outside seating area is a suntrap and one can watch the world go by and enjoy an almost mediterranean atmosphere.....lunch times often span into the evening as it becomes so comfortable and friendly. I have only praise and compliments to give this lovely Tapas Bar - I would recommend it highly. ]]> Wed, 03 Mar 2010 09:31:50 +0000 104-706 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/chelmsford-venues/chelmsford-restaurants/pinchos-wine-bar-and-tapas-chelmsford-essex.html I have eaten on a few accasions at Pinchos on weekends and during the week. Everytime has been as great as the last, the weekends are especially excellent as the music is outstanding and always adds to the ambience and atomsphere. The food is excellent and the service is friendly but very professional. I have even been in on occasion for drinks.

I would recommend anyone of any age to dine at Pinchos as I know you will not be disapointed. ]]> Tue, 29 Dec 2009 21:59:01 +0000 104-702 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/chelmsford-venues/chelmsford-restaurants/pinchos-wine-bar-and-tapas-chelmsford-essex.html my girlfriend and i often go out for a meal at the weekend, and sometimes you leave a resturant thinking it was quite expensive, and the staff couldnt be bothered, so this was a lovely change. we were so impressed at pinchos, the food was as close to authentic spanish as your likely to find, and the staff and owners were really hands on and friendly. we will definately be back for a return visit. ]]> Tue, 22 Dec 2009 18:24:11 +0000 104-510 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/chelmsford-venues/chelmsford-restaurants/pinchos-wine-bar-and-tapas-chelmsford-essex.html My first lunchtime experience was a visit to remember. Welcoming staff along with great wine and the best food I have tasted. Each Tapas had a individual taste.
Service was prompt and friendly. I can also recommend the Deserts especially the banana and maple syrup pancakes.
I am looking forward to my next visit. ]]> Fri, 22 May 2009 07:46:11 +0100 104-443 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/chelmsford-venues/chelmsford-restaurants/pinchos-wine-bar-and-tapas-chelmsford-essex.html Excellent well presented food,friendly staff and the added bonus of an outside eating space wen its warm.
will go back again when in Chelmsford ]]> Fri, 20 Mar 2009 07:38:34 +0000 104-411 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/chelmsford-venues/chelmsford-restaurants/pinchos-wine-bar-and-tapas-chelmsford-essex.html I booked a table of 24 here for my birthday so they gave us the downstairs room to eat in, which just so happened to be next to the loos, which was handy more than anything really, unfortunately there were only two, but hey ho.
The table was booked for 8pm and by the time everyone had got drinks and sat down the food was on it's way out, and everyone was totally ready for it. I had chosen the £20 party menu, I wasn't sure what was going to come out as I hadn't read a menu, but the food was all really lovely and dessert was also included in the price. We were all completely stuffed afterwards but the food was top knotch, I would definitely recommend this place and visit again :) ]]> Wed, 11 Feb 2009 14:18:15 +0000 104-408 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/chelmsford-venues/chelmsford-restaurants/pinchos-wine-bar-and-tapas-chelmsford-essex.html Great place to eat...warm and friendly service, great atmoshphere (especially on a Sat night), feels like you are at home in the living room with all your friends! A friend of ours who's parents own a Tapas bar in Wales prefers the food at Pinchos and refuses to eat elsewhere when he comes to visit! Eaten here many times, and have never been disappointed...definitely worth a visit! ]]> Tue, 10 Feb 2009 13:34:46 +0000 104-233 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/chelmsford-venues/chelmsford-restaurants/pinchos-wine-bar-and-tapas-chelmsford-essex.html The tapas was very good and full of flavour! I would definitely recommend the spanish omlette and the tender pork. We went early evening so it was rather quiet and was lacking a bit of the ambience that had been described in many of the other reviews but this was OK. I think the lunch time deal must be better value than the evening menu. However if you want good Tapas it is worth paying that bit extra. ]]> Sun, 18 May 2008 16:58:00 +0100 104-228 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/chelmsford-venues/chelmsford-restaurants/pinchos-wine-bar-and-tapas-chelmsford-essex.html Went to Pinchos today for lunch for the very first time. Service was friendly and the food was superb and very well prepared. (Chocolate Brownie for dessert was heaven)We thought it was excellent value for money and cannot recommend it highly enough. We will definitely return in the near future. ]]> Thu, 15 May 2008 17:21:25 +0100 104-162 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/chelmsford-venues/chelmsford-restaurants/pinchos-wine-bar-and-tapas-chelmsford-essex.html Recommend the lunchtime offers.A bit of Spain in Essex that tempts me to change language in a modern but traditional atmosphere. Friendly and relaxed. Not the automatic bread served here in UK but less typical UK prices for Spanish tapas...and I'm soon full!! ]]> Mon, 31 Mar 2008 15:48:56 +0100 104-146 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/chelmsford-venues/chelmsford-restaurants/pinchos-wine-bar-and-tapas-chelmsford-essex.html never been to a place like pinchos before, well recomended, especialy the live music on friday night, ]]> Wed, 12 Mar 2008 17:03:39 +0000 104-122 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/chelmsford-venues/chelmsford-restaurants/pinchos-wine-bar-and-tapas-chelmsford-essex.html An evening at Pinchos is a whole experience rather than just a good meal out. The food is totally authentic and with the ambience and live music, it feels like a night in Barcelona rather than a night in Chelmsford! The service is excellent and the staff are incredibly warm and friendly. It's so rare to find a place in England where you get excellent food, great service, brilliant decor and amazing ambience but Pinchos delivers all the above and more! ]]> Sat, 23 Feb 2008 18:05:40 +0000 104-88 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/chelmsford-venues/chelmsford-restaurants/pinchos-wine-bar-and-tapas-chelmsford-essex.html Excellent well served food, friendly staff, and very reasonable on price, No rush, music not to loud so you are able to talk without shouting, Lots to choose from with kind help in selecting from the menu if required.
All in All a nice well presented Restaurant well worth a visit. ]]> Fri, 08 Feb 2008 17:47:26 +0000
