The George, Witham

Wow how times change!! The only place in town that you are GUARANTEED a fight on a Friday and Saturday night. Guys come in at lunchtime on Saturday to watch the football, most of them look like they are still in school and come half 8 -9pm they want to fight the world!! As for the food, used to be excellent with a permanently packed restaurant but haven't seen a single person in there for about a year. Toilets reek and make the whole bottom bar smell. Landlord is a great guy but even he knows he's fighting a losing battle and is trying to sell up. Only problem is - no takers!!

The Spread Eagle Hotel, Witham

Changed again!! Now a 3 bar operation with the main one being called Legends. Lively sports bar with several large screens showing all the football and other sporting events. Always a nice welcome from the landlord and staff. Right hand side has a very smart Wine Bar and the middle section is a late opening bar/ club. Strictly Over25's and smart dress only. Works well at the moment but they did try this before with Elements and when it wasn't busy, all the age restrictions went out the window and it looked like a creche! For now all the babies in town drink across the road in Bar 68, lets hope it stays that way!!

Battesford Court, Witham

Not bad, although food portions are getting smaller as the price goes up. Didn't mind bad food when you were paying peanuts but when it's costing the same as a decent pub/restaraunt and its still bad microwaved rubbish, I object! Also, same as every single Wetherspoons I have been in, the service is appalling!! Why do they only have 2 staff on in the middle of a lunch time rush?? One of those will be taking 10 mins at a time to make a cappucino leaving one person to serve everyone else.I have lost count of the times I have got up and walked out becuase I still haven't been served after 10 -15 minutes.

The Albert, Witham

Terrible pub! Place is full of drunken idiots that spend most of the evening going back and forward to the left cubicle and then sniffing loudly all night!! Landlord short gobby Londoner is fully aware of what is happening and all that is said is 'keep a low profile boys'. Back garden reeks of weed as everyone stands under the lean-to to smoke it. Food id non existent as no-one in their right mind would go in there to eat!
