Sir Henry Gurnett, Aveley

Have been to Henry's on quite a few occassions for food and has always been great.
On Saturday 25th August 2012 we held our evening reception in their Large Marquee and I can honestly say hand on heart that we had a fantastic time.
We had booked the marquee back in February and made arrangements with Fleur and James on how many tables we wanted, what food we would like etc.
On the day I went and set up the tables with my friend and sister and the staff just let us get on with it....I also had an outside disco group come in and set up the starlit dancefloor and uplighters and they commented on how accomodating the staff were with them.
We were meant to be having wedding photo's in the afternoon and were coming back to the marquee for 5pm but due to a terrific thunderstorm and getting soaked by the rain we turned up much earlier and managed to persuade the staff to let us in the marquee earlier. James and Fleur were very good, they let our guests in to sit down and started handing out drinks straight away and I can't thank them enough for being so understanding.
The food was excellent, we had 4 joints of meat sliced with 6 different sides, plus a platter of deserts and I have to say a big thankyou to James and another guy (sorry don't know his name) who not only got the food for the top table but also served our grandparents too.
We also had an evening buffet which I didnt actually get the pleasure of tasting but I was told by guests that it was good.
Overall the marquee was a brilliant size, the food was excellent, the bar service was efficient and we had an amazing time.
Even our guests commented on how good the staff were, so thankyou James, Fluer and staff for being involved, for having a laugh with us and for helping to make our wedding reception a success! :) will be popping by soon for dinner!
