The Horse and Groom, Writtle

I had the worst meal of my life in this pub. In fact, it was so bad I really had to laugh. I ordered sausage and mash which came with raw onions in the gravy and was cold. My husband had gammon that was burnt on the outside and raw in the inside. It also came with a raw mushroom on top (see, I told you it was funny). Chips all round were cold and the other two people in the party found their meals just plain revolting. We were pretty polite about it and they did refund all the food without question. However, we didn't actually get an apology or explanation.
Such a shame as I have been going there over the years and what could be a really lovely pub has become worse and worse. Chelmsford hasn't got that many places to have a meal so their reputation will spread pretty quick. I for one have warned others not to go there and I certainly won't until they are taken over.
