On Burns night along with five others I visited The Crown Inn at Ardleigh to have without doubt the worst meal I and my friends have ever eaten out. It is true to say that we did not order until 9.30pm but what was served up could not have been prepared by a competent cook let alone a chef.Two of the party ordered Calves Liver which was tougher than old boots and could not be cut with a knife and the chips and vegetables were so limp and tasteless it would not be surprising if they were leftovers from lunchtime. Some of the others had Pork wrapped in Palma Ham but this was so dry and overcooked it was tasteless.Other than the Fishcakes had by one of the party the other meals were a figment of the trades description act. A very poor result which required paying for. The waitress admitted to the poor quality of what had been served up and after consultation with the manager offered two free deserts.......Whoopee. An absolute waste of money and if this is the quality there will be another pub closeing in the near future. I had to give a rating to continue but realistically no rating was more accurate.
