ACANTEEN is Chelmsford’s place to eat, drink, meet, dance and stay out later than you planned.

By day, we’re all about great coffee, brunch, big plates, pizzas, Sunday roasts and a relaxed space to catch up, work or just sit and watch the world go by.

Then the lights go down and ACANTEEN changes gear.

Dinner, cocktails, DJs, live music, comedy and some seriously good parties. Soul, house, deep house, disco, live PAs and everything in between.

We’ve never really fitted into one box — and that’s exactly how we like it.

Come for coffee. Stay for dinner. End up dancing.
