Why only orders over £30?
It is not feasible for us to deliver any orders worth less than £20 locally or £30 nationally. Unfortunately, this rule automatically applies to our click-and-collect orders, too. However, secret tip: there is often a teeny tiny bit more available in our taproom shop than we put on our website including a large range of guest beers in 440ml cans!
Special Orders
Anyone ordering for person-to-person large deliveries (i.e. casks for special events) should contact us directly via our contact page for pricing, delivery options, etc.
Do you gift wrap or incognito deliveries?
All of our products are delivered in a marked Chelmsford Brew Co. van, in a marked Chelmsford Brew Co. box. We are unable to offer gift wrap at this time, or even discreet packaging (we’re only human and there’s been a few spoilers over the years). If you want to get a gift from us for someone and keep it a surprise, we recommend ordering for click-and-collect.
Yes! You must book these in advance for guided brewery tours lead by one of our brewers who talk you through the brewing process and lead a tasting session at the end.
Check out our brewery tours page or social media channels for the next date of our brewery tour.
Can I bring my dog/child?
Yes! Our space is family friendly. We love when you bring your dog (as long as they do their business outside) and kids are okay, too.
Do you serve food?
On Fridays and Saturdays, we regularly host a variety of fantastic food trucks serving everything from pizzas and burgers to street food specials and more, giving visitors plenty of great options to enjoy alongside our beer. Occasionally, when a food truck or pop-up kitchen is attending as part of a specific event, we may ask guests not to bring in outside food. Please check our brewery events page or social media for the latest food truck line-up and brewery events.
Do you only serve beer?
No! We have a choice of red, white, or rosé wine; gin and a few soft drinks.
We also always have a selection of guest beers from other breweries which offer a wider range of flavours. We also have a range of soft drinks for those driving or for children.
Do you have free parking?
Yes we have multiple spaces for car parking and also cycles.
