Ivory Rooms, Billericay

I can not believe the last comment was not entered by an employee. It is true this venue has had some money spent on it since the quilters days - but - it is small and has a strange atmosphere.
The food is very good, hats off to the chefs although I found what I presumed to be the restaurant manager extremely out of his depth. Apart from looking like he had been hired from a boy band he spent the entire time chatting up the female staff and swanning around. I spoke to a few regulars and it appears i was not alone in my thoughts. However we are here to rate the venue and unfortuantely with the severe lack of authorative ambience, by this I mean I would challenge anyone to actually pick out and spot a manager I can not see this place taking off. Maybe the chefs should come out of the kitchen and give it a go as the organsation in the kitchen clearly exceeds that of the front of house!.
