The Witham House in Braintree

Definitely not King Prawn Dry Chow Mein as ordered .. very disappointed… If & I say if we use this takeaway again, I will unpack my order before I leave the shop…

Uncooked food, cold and didn’t taste of anything. Avoid at all costs, they just want your money for bad food and unhelpful staff

We ordered online… we received a message to say it would be over one hour so we cancelled within five minutes of placing the order. The restaurant have still not sent the money back. I am going to report them to the council local newspapers for stealing peoples money. PLEASE GIVE MY MONEY BACK

Good delivery was a little late but the food was lovely really nice generous portions too. The restaurant kept in contact through messaging would definitely order again!!

Over an hour for delivery! Stone cold food! 3 phone calls for a refund! Rude staff who didn’t understand our complaint and thought it would be acceptable for a 20% refund or a replacement delivery in an hour

Meal awful all bamboo shoots cheap substitute for chicken mediocre taste not value for money will never order from there again. Called up to complain but no response not that I'm surprised wasn't expecting any customer service.... Please don't waste your money......

Very disappointing. We thought we'd treat ourselves to a take away and heard that The Witham House is one of the best. Sadly we disagree. Although portion was great and the delivery was quick. However...the the curry sauce was too watery and bland, the rice was mushy, both chicken and beef chow mein was way too oily and lacking in the chosen protein.

We used this takeaway regularly for along time but the quality of the dishes started to decline so went elsewhere. When our usual place was closed for Christmas we tried here again .The food remains mediocre at best but the delivery took nearly 2 hours by which time we had almost lost the will to live as we were so hungry.Will never use again.

Placed an order with the delivery time of 45 mins, hour passes which I call and ask where the food is they said it's in the car on way now be 5/10 mins, that time then passes I called back and they say the same thing again! Hour and a half later food then arrives cold! Would never order from them again. Instead went to ying much better service and very quick

Used for ages but food been getting worse of late. Everything seems microwaved!. Hard chicken, jelly sour sauce, hard ribs, tasteless food and all over cooked. Waited an hour and a half on Friday night, phones twice to be told it's on its way, food arrived warm!! Won't use again, needs shutting down!!

Ordered a takeaway waited 50 minutes for food. When it turned up it was cold. Phoned up to complain and they did not care. DO NOT USE THEM.

Food always top quality, fresh and hot! Can't fault it

Excellent food.highly recommended

Ordered a take away, it arrived 5 mins early but the food was awful. I ordered the special starter for 2, the satay chicken had no peanut sauce it was a dry over cooked piece of chicken on a skewer, I fed it to my dog. The wings and prawn toast were also dry and over cooked. I had ordered sweet and sour sauce so it was edible just. The duck pancake rolls and the pork rice had so little meat! My sons meal was veggie and just about edible but he doesn’t feel great this morning, could be th msg. I called the restaurant and they offered me 20% off my next order, needless to say I won’t be ordering again. If I had been eating in the restaurant I would have sent the food back.

Top food.arrived hot and early.

delivery drivers need to smile !

Nice food, a little on the expensive side for a take away delivery, I may try again, but not certain

Only in the uk can you get away with a 90 minute delivery time. Told it was on its way and waited another 20 minutes.

Pushed time back by 45 minutes from original time then delivered 25 minutes later than that. Maybe a call or something from them to keep us updated about when our food was arriving as if we had knew when we ordered it that there would be an overall wait time of 1 hour 45 minutes we would of gone elsewhere

Went for a night out. We had pre booked a table for 19.30hrs and ordered out food. At 2230hrs we were told that there was no sea bass and then they tried to infer that they could muster up a similar dish! The staff didn't seem to understand the reason why we would have an issue with 1) the delay in getting the food 2) the issue with serving the rest of the group's 3) not telling us what was not available at the start of us ordering. In short don't ever go to this restaurant!

Great food but a ridiculous wait then 25 mins late not great

worst take away ive ever had. ordered garlic chicken & rice with spring onion. quess what no garlic and very little spring onion. very disappointing

All freshly cooked and really tasty. Would definitely order again

really unimpressed. over an hour late.

Food was perfect an was delivered early never go anywhere else 10/10

The food was first class and reasonably priced. Will definitely make you our first choice from now on! Thank you

Delivery driver had problems finding us, but he called and we sorted it out. There was also a dish missing but to the restuarant's credit, they replaced it very quickly - it was back with us within 10 minutes of my calling.

Good food as always, but twice now i have had my food delivered to my door by a child.. whats that about?

Food tasted like it was all re cooked wasn't very nice won't be ordering again...

Really enjoyable, my only negative would be that the black bean sauce was VERY garlicy, otherwise all was delicious. Thank you.

Would def be ordering from them again

Lovely tasty food with complimentary prawn crackers, even though I only ordered 1 dish which was unexpected but great. Would def order again but will try a few more dishes and order for the whole family.

was delivered very quickly, however I wish I would have just thrown my £32 out the window, don't usually leave reviews because I'm a very easily pleased person, this food was the worst meal I have ever eaten was truly horrible, I threw pretty much everything away. every sauce was too sweet, not much taste to anything else, bad rice, will never eat again from there

Excellent food/service/price.thank you.

Lemon chicken was nice but prawn toast was burnt. Big portions. Delivery was 25 mins late.

Friendly and efficient, food is lovely. Never had a bad meal

Delivery driver was rude when asked a question

food took an hour and a half came lute warm and tasted horrible will not be ordering from here again

vegetable curry could have done with large substantial veg such a broccoli

Great place great food always order from here never had a bad meal

this was only the 2nd time had takeaway from the Witham House both times food delivered promptly, hot, and delicious really good quality.

Very good food, collected in 20 minutes....always a good service.

Getting worse. Tonight's was overcooked, hardly any cucumber with tiny burnt duck!. Will go elsewhere from now on...

Flavourless food. Really disappointing. Possibly the worst chinese food I've eaten. Definitely won't be ordering from here again.

Lovely food, generous portions and good service, ready for collection a few minutes early too. All good here.

good food with fast and friendly delivery service

Polite and professional delivery, and very good food.

Ordered on a Friday night, had to call them twice as my order was so late. When the delivery girl finally arrived my food was warm but not hot. At that point I was too hungry to bother sending it back. Food was okay, nothing special.

The food was 30 mins late I ordered it at 720 and I got it at 910 which is a ridiculous amount of time to wait for a takeaway not good at all and really not happy with the service of witham house

2hr wait that was 40mins when order was placed

Good food as usual. Rude delivery driver. No hello or goodbye or even a nod for the tip i gave.

Great as always. Delivered on time.

Excellent food with very fast delivery.

Lovely bit of grub. Not to greasy or salty like most takeaway chineses.

Food was great again and delivered in 15 minutes. 👍👍👍

Chicken in black bean sauce was lovely. Not greasy, very tasty!

Not up to usual standard. The mixed starter was overcooked and dry. The main was bland. Disappointing all round.

Great food always. If you're in Witham/HP this really is the best takeaway.

Quick delivery and great tasting food.

My son puked after the meal but everyone else enjoyed it

Always cancel orders can't cope leave u waiting all the time... U invite friends over for dinner with no dinner customer service in no good

Great food and service food always on time more often than not it early always receive the correct order

Perfect food and so easy to order

Ordered and delivered in 10minutes! Amazing!!

Always get from there. Always perfect.

Very poor service Starving teenager awaiting her food Poor service from just eat

Forgot a dish but food was lovely as it always is

We find it can be hit and miss with this place. The samosas this time were not so great but everything else was fine.

I ordered from just eat and 5mins were added to my delivery time but got a call 15mins before saying I wasn't there to collect and when he finally did he was rude

First time ordering from here. The food was bang on time, nice and hot and good portion sizes. It was very nice, I'd order from here again. The chow mein was very nice, and I didn't finish my meal gasping for water, which is always great!

Very enjoyable and delivered bang on time. Great service and good food.

Very easy to use, lovely food my outer half was really impressed with the food, best he every are, first class Well done

Everything excellent, as usual.

Quick delivery but not as tasty as usual

Said it had been delivered but hadn't turned up

Not delivering to Silver end anymore, so may not use them again.

Good food but delivery service is shocking - at least an hour late every time if not longer on top of an already long delivery slot. Collection or nothing for this bunch

Quick delivery and friendly service, food left a lot to be desired.

Hadnt ordered from here before but food came before predicted time and was really good quality, will definitely order from here again

Delivered 3o minutes earlier than expected

Superb food and very fast delivery

Can not fault the food. The chilli salt n pepper squid is lovely. Would recommend witham house to everyone

Delicious, speedy and piping hot

Really quick and very tasty. Shame they dont do a nice curry sauce though, as it would have been perfect if they did.

Lovely food as always, best in the area : )

Food as good as ever and arrived on time

Food tasted great, hard to find a nice Chinese these days..

I normally really enjoy the food from here so I took a chance and ordered a set meal for two which included dishes I don't normally order. The beef in black bean sauce tasted like it was made purely of salt and was swimming in stock/gravy/sea water, the chicken with cashew nuts was quite nice but again very salty tasting. Got a really good amount of chicken balls though which are always really good from here, and the spring rolls - which I normally never eat - were really good. I'll order again because for my money it's the best Chinese food in Witham, but I'll stick to what I know and continue avoiding beef dishes.

Delicious as always, not greasy, flavours good, very polite delivery driver.

Always outstanding food from here. It arrives piping hot and is, hands down, the best Chinese food in Witham.

Excellent food and prompt delivery, as always.

Took over an hour and a half to arrive and some things were almost cold. Batter on chicken was soggy.

Was Ok. Not up to usual standard, sauces were a bit watery.

Lovely food delivered earlier than we expected.

Was really quick considering we had 2 big orders on a busy day. Everyone enjoyed it! Thank you.

Tasty beef curry, not too spicy or greasy, still hot when delivered by friendly delivery driver, perfect food good price! Highly recommended 👍

Excellent This app is asking me to rate the restaurant service.??? I used the app not the restaurant so don't quite know what they want me to rate and I cannot move on.. Aghhhhhh!!!!! This is the reason I don't like doing reviews

Food took 1 hour 35mins to arrive

One of the best Chinese restaurants I have ever tried! Delightfully nice delivery man, plus food always arrives quickly, tastes fresh and is piping hot. 100% recommend.

Fantastic service. Very friendly. Great food. Thoroughly recommend
