Atmosphere, food, staff and service never ever disappoint. Burgers, steak or pies are our personal favourites from the menu but you can’t go wrong it’s all lovely. Fantastic in every way. Would highly recommend.

– SMOKING –

The Oddfellows Arms Smokehouse are currently the only speciality Smokehouse in Chelmsford, Essex.

Using the finest ingredients (sourced locally where possible) our delicious food is cooked with wood, time and of course plenty of TLC.

We use Hickory, Beech, Whisky Soaked Oak & Apple Wood to smoke our meats resulting in that traditional smoked flavour.

For that delicious authentic wood smoked taste try The Oddfellows Arms Smokehouse. Either join us and dine at the pub, or order a takeaway and we will deliver your order straight to your door.

Because the Smoking process takes a long time we can’t cook to order so availability of dishes may vary. We do however always have delicious alternatives if your choice is not available.

– OUR BEER –

Our range of Cask Ales and Craft Beers are from the following breweries: Adnams, Dark Star, Wibblers, Skinners, Dartmoor, Dinkelacker, Meister Sanwald, Hopefenwunder, Samuel Adams.

We aim to offer a varied choice of Ales served in top condition by our friendly staff.

The Oddfellows Arms Smokehouse are extremely proud to be included in the Campaign for Real Ale 2010 & 2011 guide for the recommended Real Ale Pubs in Chelmsford and The Mid Essex and The Good Beer Guide for 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015,2016 and 2021
