TFI Rackheath in Broadland

Not the best outlet in Chelmsford the best one is westway. Maldon high street is also very good but very disappointed Costas don’t offer any gluten free products as my wife can’t eat and as to watch me eating

Yes the place needs some TLC, or a bulldozer!, so no need to dress up but wow the steaks are good, no steak knives needed here the meats that good. Try it.

Most expensive pint of beer I’ve ever had. Little to choose from at the bar. Meal was average. Service, RUBBISH! Give it a miss next time round!

Stopped here for a quick bite in the evening whilst passing through. Limited menu, I had pie and chips. It was hot and tasty so no complaints. I sat at a small corner table and when I went to put my bag on the floor my elbow got caught up in a whole nest of cobwebs that ran floor to ceiling. Moved to a different table and when I looked at the carpet it was glistening with slug slime! Yes you read that right!! Trails and trails of slug slime all over the carpet. I went to put my bag on the chair next to me. The chairs are covered with faded pink felt like fabric that would have been all the rage in the 70s but it was thick with long hairs all trapped in the fabric. The window sills were covered with dead flies. The bar man - am I allowed to say man in these politically correct times?? The bar person / server was however very friendly, welcoming and polite. Very depressing place, definitely needs a clean and makeover.

Moored up at Ranworth whilst on holiday on The Broads. We had visited the Maltsters a few years ago and it was (not to put a finer point on it) absolutely disgusting. As we knew it was under new management we decide to give it another go and we were not disappointed. The food we had was absolutely delicious. I had a steak and it was cooked to perfection. The staff were friendly and helpful, so if you are moored up at Ranworth give them a look. The cocktail was also mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
