Reviews from Dining out In Essex (essexrestaurants.com)
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.

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 :)

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!

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.

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.

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!!

Never been to a place like pinchos before, well recomended, especialy the live music on friday night

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!
Karen Haddon "Having dined at Gordon Ramsey's Claridges the night before, my palate could have proved difficult to please, but the food here didn't fail to impress.The restaurant was moderately busy, and all the diners were busy clearing their plates of delicious food. Everybody had praise for the food when I asked what they thought.
Our waiter new the menu well, and suggested various dishes which were pretty outstanding. Glorious meatballs. They were so well made and tasty that I wanted more. Spicy Beef - fabulous. The portions were large and unfortuneately we couldn't finish all our dishes.
The atmosphere was friendly and lively, with fellow diners joining us for after dinner drinks.There is outside seating which will be a big attraction once the rain stops and summer arrives."
