"We had booked a table on the upper terrace for lunch. The food was good and afterwards we stayed on for the afternoon. It's a lovely canalside location but we found the front of house staff excessively officious, inhospitable and unpleasant their rudeness spoiled...our afternoon. Some examples: 1. We were a table of 4 and one extra friend joined us after lunch. She'd barely even sat down when the front of house hostess came flying over and interrupted our conversation to tell us that no more than 4 people were allowed at our table and we'd have to move. The terrace was almost completely empty at that point and we were settled and happy where we were. In the end she grudgingly said we could stay where we were for a short while. 2. We got talking to some guys at a table nearby, one of whom was launching a new hot chocolate and kindly offered us some samples. Not only did the restaurant staff refuse to provide hot water so we could try this (even when we offered to buy a pot of tea he said we couldn't have one as he knew we'd use the hot water to make the hot chocolate within a few minutes they had come over and interrupted our discussion again to tell us we weren't allowed to have the samples (a couple of small cups) visible on the table and had to put them in our bags. So rude and totally ridiculous. I have since tried the hot chocolate at home and it's a lot better than what The Waterway served me last time I had hot chocolate there, so maybe they should have shown a bit of interest. 3. We were kicked off our table by the rude hostess at 6 p.m. even though the terrace was still almost empty, and sent to sit in a draughty lower area with no table service. After another hour I noticed the terrace was still mostly empty and asked staff why we had been moved. It turned out that they had moved us, existing customers, off our table in case of walk-ins for dinner At no point did anyone ask us if we would like to order dinner. Were it not for the unpleasantness of the staff, this would have been a four-star review, but I have never felt so unwelcome as I did at this restaurant. The staff need to sort out their miserable attitudes and learn the meaning of hospitality."

"We have lived in Dunmow for 25 years and have always visited this pub through its various ownerships. We had not been for a while, until after I had a life saving major heart operation last year and this was the first place we chose to go for breakfast when I came out of hospital. We have continued to go since then on a regular basis and it never fails to satisfy. We have always been served by Lorraine since the first day we went and she has been fantastic. Last weekend was a year since I had the operation and we chose to go back for a small family meal to celebrate the success of the day. Well what can I say, my wife had other ideas and with the help of Lorraine she organised a surprise gathering of family and friends in a cordoned off part of the marquee with buffet. What made it even more special was that they don't normally do a buffet on a Sunday as it is normally roast dinner only. After Lorraine explained to her manager the importance of the day she was more than happy to help make the day happen. For this I am really grateful, and despite not getting the steak dinner I thought I was having it was so much better. Thank you to everyone involved as I know the organisation for this on a day you would not normally do it would have been a challenge. We will continue to go for breakfast whenever we can and hope that Lorraine is always there."

"A special Event in a special Restaurant. My Wife and I visited the Holiday Inn near Bolton town centre for a special birthday treat in early June 2016. We had pre booked a table in the superb Hardies Restaurant and on arrival we were quickly shown to our table by the very efficient young lady who looked after us all evening She was very attentive without being obtrusive, Starters were chosen, ordered, and delivered within about 15 minutes. Kathleen’s Pate was a rather generous portion and she declared that it was at least as good as any she had tasted before. My choice was deep fried Goats cheese, this was very authentic and enjoyable. For Mains we finally settled on A Lamb shank for Kath which she said was Amazing, whilst I settled for the superb Cod in batter with chips and peas, a simple traditional dish but beautiful and rather large portion. Desserts took us quite a few minutes to decide on. Kath chose Hot apple pudding with a vanilla sauce. I decided on a fresh fruit salad with ice cream served on a large platter I counted nine different fruits all seasonal and extremely fresh. We both tasted each other’s desserts the apple pudding was also very nice. The waitress offered us cheese and biscuits but quite honestly by this time we were to put it bluntly, stuffed. The verdict was a truly excellent meal, time to retreat to the adjoining bar for a pleasant hours relaxation. To conclude we made the right choice to have our special event at Hardies and we will definitely visit again. Thanks to all concerned."
