Sir Henry Gurnett, Aveley

I paid a visit to the Sir Henry Garnett which is know called Henry's Restautant and Bar last Saturday. The reason for the visit was for a friends 30th birthday. I was quite anxous about going as i have heard a few bad things from people who visited the place 6 months ago. I got to be honest i'm glad i did go because this place has got lots of excellent qualities. As i came from the car park to the entrance i realised that this place has beautiful surrounding. Henry's has also got many animals which include pigs, peacocks, rabbits and chickens which are well looked after. As i enter the building you can immediately see the character and charm and the place along with it's great atmosphere. The staff are very friendly and helpfull which is quite rare to find these days. Although we were not here for food, i did see a lot of the food coming out and must say it looked and smelt wonderfull.
Because i had seen these reviews and heard others before hand i had to wonder why the change had come about so i decided to ask a member of there staff who said that the place now has a new chef, restaurant manager and general manager.
I feel it is important for me to do put this review on here as i can see this place has changed and that a place that is good generally doesn't get talked about where as a place that is bad generally does get talked about.

I like to thank all the team at Henry's for making the evening a very pleasurable one.
