The Derby Digger – WickfordI would phone and check if they actually have any food to serve before embarking on your journey to this venue. I have now had four non starter occasions, where-upon we have arrived at the derby digger, gone to the bar, started with a drinks order, to be followed by '' oh sorry, we've run out of food''. Who ever is employing the Managers of this establishment need to seriously take a look at what they are paying wages for..... Very, very, disappointed. Each time we have invited six of our friends and relatives to accompany us, and this Tuesday, 26 Aug., We had our fourth visit to this pub, to be met by no food. Thank goodness we can rely on the Toby Carvery at Runwell - They always have a hearty welcome................. I wonder how man others have had this disappointment.
The Derby Digger – Wickfordthis is a really good chippy its fresh food good value for money and the staff are amazing
UK Fish Bar – WithamI went to the Duke of Wellington in July with the family. I was absolutely shocked with the excellent changes that have been made, the staff could not have been more helpful and the food was excellent. I highly recommend this pub and we will be going back again very soon.
Duke of Wellington – LoughtonThis pub has now been totally refurbished, excellent food, great beers. I visited on a hot day in July and the air conditioning was a welcome treat. The staff were very friendly and the extensive gardens had a children,s play area to entertain the kids.
Duke of Wellington – LoughtonMy first experience (on recommendation) to this restaurant. A lovely ambience, truly like a Thai restaurant with all furnishings and greeted by Thai waitress in thai costume. Food was hot and full of the spices I experienced in Thailand. Service was quick and attention to respond to requests, immediate. This is owned by Thai woman. Many Thai restaurants I have been to are Chinese masquerading as Thai, not good. Would I go again, most definitely
