The Cherry Tree, Rochford

Awful place with appalling service.

Visited on Mothers Day and told children more than welcome when booking. On arrival was told there was no highchair available as these has to booked beforehand (would have been nice to have been told this on the phone when making my booking!!). Then we were informed that despite it being Mothers day there was not childrens menu at all. My 2 year old and 5 year old would have to choose from the adult menu and just receive a smaller sized portion. However, there were no children friendly meals on offer. Deep fried Camembert, Prawn Cocktail or Pate for starters and Spicy fish with noodles, stuffed chicken on the bone etc for main!!!

No apology. no explanation as to why there couldn't be a childrens menu or offering on this family day. I would just add here that the food itself was terrible as well, so no saving grace there.

To top it all off I was then told to pay full adult price for the one child who ate, despite being told earlier that the childrens meal whould be the same as the adults just smaller!!

In summary avoid this place at all costs if you have children as it is by far rhe most un-child friendly place I have ever been to.
