Disappointing food. The burger was overcooked. The coleslaw was dry. The waitress looked fed up. Not a great experience. It used to be a place for parties. Also we were told we could not book as the restaurant was full - we decided to turn up and there were only about 20 people in!!!!!

It is a little while since I have eaten there but I always reccommend this little resteraunt to everyone I know who is visiting Chelmsford. I am working in the area very shortly and cant wait to visit it again. I have found the food to be excellent with brilliantly efficient staff who are always rushed off their feet but always polite and charming. If you read this Bekkie (from D ins), I hope you enjoy a great meal there the same as I have enjoyed in the past. One of Chelmsfords Best!! Enjoy!!!

I think Back Inn Time is great. You have to remember it must be pretty damn hard working in such a small space, and the food cant always be perfect, I think its the way you speak to the waiter waitress, if you show them respect (as at the end of the day it is no ones fault really) and be calm Im sure they would be more than happy to amend your needs, but by the way I hear some customers talk to waiters, watresses I would quite literally walk away if some one spoke to me like that , they get treated like paupers!! But I think the place is great , the staff are warming and welcoming and the food is scrummy x

Very average food, and very slow service.We went for the half price offer that was on for March. We presented the voucher before the meal, and, again when paying. Didn't really check the bill until we got home. They hadn't reduced the price at all, we had been charged full price.There was no apology when phoning the manager. Calls weren't returned, and they were extremelly rude when my wife went to pick up the balance. This appears to be the case for a few of my colleagues, so its not an isolated incident. This restaurant has gone downhill fast. It used to be excellent in the days of 'Spin Thomson' the original owner. Its now a pale shadow of its former glory I'm afraid. There is no way I will ever go back.

Booked a table for 9pm for a large group of us celebrating a birthday!Had to wait over an hour for our table to be ready as it was already occupied by a hen party! The hen party showed no signs of moving and we were getting increasinly hungry and annoyed as the staff couldn't move them on,although they had been told that their table was booked for another party later that evening, when they booked their night out! We didn't mind waiting 20 mins or so but 1 hour, no appologies and no sign of a table later we took our deposit and custom else where!! I suggest that they make future customers fully aware that they have two seperate seating times and the people opting for the earlier one need to be out by a certain time. On the hole poor communication poor customer relations and poor service!!!!! It totally ruined our night , thanks back in time.

I can't believe the reviews I've just read on this site - I think they must have been paid by the restaurant! I went to Back Inn Time last night and thought it was overpriced, the food wasn't very nice and the service was slow. I was surprised at how much we paid for such an ordinary meal; you can get cheaper, better meals in London. I wouldn't go back - there are plenty of better places to go in Chelmsford if you want to go out for a meal.

Welcoming pleasant staff, but the emphasis was all on presentation The food was very ordinary and poor value. Burgers can be great - but on my visit here were just catering fodder.
