The Ivory Peg - JD Wetherspoon — Restaurant in Chelmsford

Took my wife and mother there for breakfast You what they say you get what you pay for but oh my good-been there loads wasn’t expecting silver service/ but a smile doesn’t cost anything Ordered 3 breakfasts only 2 came out after 20 minutes of them saying that the 3rd was also on its way went to the till for 2nd time realised that they had deleted the 3 breakfast so in between paying for that had a delightfully rude waitress (LILLY)cut into my conversation when I said that was rude looked at me like how dare I Finished what I was saying and she went Anyway with a filthy look like how dare I? So I took no notice went back to my table when that delightful young waitress come out with the third order which was about 20 minutes late asked her name she started her name was (LILLY) and said to me why do you want that? Are you putting complaint in about me When I said yes she had a complete meltdown screaming shouting crying in the middle of the restaurant when I asked the manager for her name, she told me she wouldn’t give it to me and I wrote to head office and they’ve told me I’m barred. I wouldn’t mind the so called manager who refused to give her name is dressed like she is working on a stall at a boot sale Before we left we went to use the toilets the stairs smell of URINE LIKE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN USING IT AS A URINAL ABSOLUTELY...

The food was delicious, the cider even more so. It's a really lovely place to go out on a budget. Me and my friend are carers earning rubbish money, being g able to go out eat, drink and share good times is wonderful. The biggest let down was the other customers. A drunk man called over to us, we ignored him hoping he'd get the message . He didn't, he interrupted out meal and began rambling on about poetry, spreading love and the dying art of talking to strangers. All philosophical drunken horse radish. He didn't go away and just kept on going. Staff saw him and it was obvious he was being a pain in the neck, they just looked on and it was gwtting very uncomfortable. He was harmless but just would not leave us alone. He stank to high heaven as well, which was off putting. We made up an excuse about parking, upped and legged it like a pair of bats out of hell. What was worse was once we left he pulled up a chair and sat on a the of 3 young women. Early 20s if that. He really started making a total nuisance of himself. Best advise. Sit around other groups of people and not away from the crowd. Makes you much less approachable to drunken strangers looking to spout rubbish. Aside from all that there was a barman/waitor/member of staff who was drop dead gorgeous. The eye candy is...

My first venture into a pub since March last year. It was four days before freedom day .. not a good experience. It was not around 2PM I heard someone order steak .. no steak. I ordered ham egg and chips .. no eggs. I asked what the guest ale was .. No beer as they cleaning one bank of pumps and the other is broken. I was then told the card reader were not working so i had to pay cash. My wife had a coffee when she went to the machine it didn't work, although when we brought this to the attention of staff it was very quickly rectified so she got her coffee. I was disappointed that they do not have any pies on the menu. I am guessing they were also running out of chips as they ones on my plate were lonley as it qas such a small portion. On the positive side the staff were very friendly. My wife had Jacket potato, it was a large spud with plenty of filling and side sale was plentiful. she said it was very good. As they had no pies and no eggs i had ham egg and chips with extra ham and no egg. It was tasty but I as I mentioned very few chips so I ledt hungry. I used this place frequently Before Covid but after this experience I doubt I will be going back...
