The Ivory Peg — Pub in Chelmsford

The Ivory Peg is a Wetherspoon pub on New London Road in Chelmsford, just outside the city. It's built on the site of a former department store and now serves as a bright, busy social spot with fast food service via app ordering. Locals come here for drinks after work or to meet friends late into the evening, especially when live music isn't playing. The place is known for its spice bag and spritzes, available throughout extended hours until 1am on Fridays and Saturdays.

The Ivory Peg was originally a department store before joining the Wetherspoon network in Chelmsford. It keeps industrial features like exposed brickwork and bright lighting typical of modern pub design. The layout includes indoor seating only, with no outdoor space. Extended opening hours until midnight on weekdays and 1am on weekends support high crowd density during peak times. Noise levels stay consistently high due to late-night use, but it's quiet enough midday for a calm coffee or early drink.

You can find The Ivory Peg ideal for quick drinks after work or catching up with friends over food and drink. It’s worth the walk if you’re in Chelmsford and want to avoid long queues, especially on weekend nights when app ordering helps speed things up. Try the spice bag paired with a spritz, the signature combo. With hours until 1am Friday and Saturday, it works for both night owls and those who prefer a calm early drink.
