![]() One middle-aged woman in front of me was explaining that she and her friends had been waiting over an hour for their drinks. Was told when we got there that they wasn't able to offer table service and you had to go up to the till to do it, but this was manned by a girl who looked no more than 14 or 15 (not legal surely?) who bless her, was clearly out of her depth. The people from the first sitting hadn't left and were dancing in the middle and around the tables like a nightclub and using them to put their drinks on whilst the second sitting was trying to eat their food. the middle of the dining area blaring out music the whole time, at a level so loud you couldn't hear yourself think. We visited a week last Sunday and instead of Sunday lunch they had a different arrangement. I've only given a one star as Google have yet to introduce a "don't touch with an electrified barge-pole" rating. Not worth the money and the quality the worse I've had in memory More To be honest you would get better produce from soup kitchen. ![]() I suggest they get their meats from a reputable source rather than from a wholesale place. Very disappointed and the quality of their products were poor. What I would say is stay clear of the gaff for Sunday lunch as you don't get much change for a score a pop and the food was so bland. The price that they charge is simply shocking but I suppose they are living off their poncy Essex reputation. Reminded me of the crap we got served up in primary school. To say that both meats were of poor cheap standard is an understatement. ![]() I had the roast beef it came with a pathetic Yorkshire pudding, gravy like water and vegetables just out of the microwave. Within 4 minutes our food had arrived and I though blimey that was quick. Took the missus out for Sunday lunch today and decided to pop into the blue boar. Suggestion to the owner - put big signs on the door that leads in from the car park- ‘make sure you register’ and also train your staff to remind every table. Because Avis has paid it and slapped on an admin fee, there is no appeal according to the parking company. Fast forward to yesterday when I got a letter from Avis stating that I had incurred a fine for illegal parking at The Blue Boar. I mention talking to the owner, because even though it was quiet, no one mentioned that we needed to register our cars for parking. We had a chat with the owner about the impact inflation was having on his business. You also need to be ok with dogs running around the place. As soon as our desert arrived the lights in the kitchen were turned off. the last in and the staff wanted to leave. The food was very good, if a little rushed. The restaurant was almost empty, just 3 tables with other guests, but it was quiet which suited us. I had a very pleasant meal on a cold midweek evening. We are then taken to the back of the restaurant, where there is large circle table and two rectangle tables pushed together, one with a cloth, one without, table not dressed at all (thanks for making that area special after taking a £120 deposit) We arrived at 7:30 our dinner plates were still not cleared by 9:30, restaurant wasn't even busy, food was so bad, zero flavour, over cooked (avoid rib of beef and croquettes - disgusting) they forgot two of our starters, messed up one of them, each meal didn't clear our plates away after we'd finished 1 hour gap between starters and mains, service was so poor, didn't take one glass away from the table the whole meal (photo) no one asking if we're ok, had to walk up and ask the owner if he could ask the staff (who were just out in the kitchen laughing and joking) if someone could come and clear our plates, he offered a round offered drinks aggressively like he thought that would solve everything, just a rubbish experience start to finish, didn't have any ginger beer, the wine tasted like ribeana, owner doesn't care, no manager organising the teenage staff, awful food, avoid at all costs. that to the bar area owners just sat their blowing his nose, slurping up his own dinner, gross. First thing we experienced as we walked through the door was the stench of poo from the toilets, walk past. 12 of us out celebrating my nans birthday. We decided to go here as a last resort as all the best pubs were fully booked.
