Sir Henry Gurnett, Aveley

I have to agree entirely with Kelvins review, the service in this place is dreadful.After booking a table for four we arrived to find staff had no record of our booking though as it turned out we were unlucky enough to get seated.We then proceeded to wait for what seemed a lifetime, there was no offer of drinks and we felt as though we were being ignored, eventually one of our party summoned a member of staff to take our order only to find that most of the starters had been used. The drinks eventually arrived but the waitress had to go back to the bar as she forgot one of us. The wine was duly delivered and plonked on the table without being opened or tasted. The food was overpriced and poor, my friends steak which was ordered medium rare turned out to be almost raw and my duck was chewy and overcooked. To finish with we again had to wait and wait to get staff attention in order to pay the bill, there were no apologies from staff and to add insult to injury the bill came to �110 !!!! To sum it up this place should be avoided at all costs, Vicky Pollard and her friends are well and truly alive and working at Henry's. Oh and there still isn't any soap in the loo, the management of this place should be ashamed of themselves.
