Thomas Mildmay, Chelmsford

An awful, awful place. I've had the unpleasant misfortune of being dragged here a few times by some friends, and I think on only one occasion it could be descrived as bearable. And that's if I'm being generous. Agreed with previous comments about the clientelle (however not as bad as Yate's!!) but it's the staff here that really get me annoyed. On a weekend night, you could order exactly the same round, but get charged totally different prices for it each time. When I questioned this to the manager, and asked for a receipt she said it wouldn't be possible as their tills can't trace back transactions. Their also do not display prices on their tills at weekends, which I think is extremely dodgy! When talking to the doorstaff about this (who are actually very friendly) he told me that the reason for the different prices, is that staff add drinks on to your order for themselves, or add on a couple of quid for their own pockets, which I think is disgusting. Avoid at all costs!
