Roo's in Braintree

We decided to try this tea room for the first time after being given an afternoon tea for 2 gift card as a birthday treat. I have to say we were more than happy with the whole experience. It was welcoming, the staff were brilliant and the surroundings were very clean. We had 2 lovely sandwiches with a salad garnish. The salad leaves were so fresh, brilliant. Followed by 2 very good fruit scones, jam and clotted cream and more little cakes on the top tier of the cake stand . Tea and coffee was also included. Thank you.

Walked in... waited for around 4 mins. Someone was scrubbing something out back. Had a table of people sat in the corner vaping. So walked out.

What a disappointment😕 A very poor choice of beer,the only real ale they had on was the ubiquitous and awful Doombar. One of my friends could only drink half of the pint he was served. Also no food was available. This pub looks very tired and in need of some serious TLC. If you want a decent pint I'd suggest going down the road to the Woolpack. The Railway in Witham is without doubt a pub to avoid in the future.

Always good food and great ambience

If only I had read the reviews first!! Should have done myself cheese on toast instead, would have had more flavour. AWFUL!!! Tried one slice, the rest in the bin 😏
