Vis‎ited the www.thebluebridgewrittle.co.uk for dinner one weekend. This is a fine dining restaurant and the food was very good but there a slight delay between service of courses, we have experienced longer delays in other restaurants.

I wanted to go because I'd heard there was a Grand Piano, but the day we went there wasn't any live music, but again we didn't book and turned up on spec. The only restaurant we have gone to without booking where there is always live music is Zenxi, which I have blogged here also somewhere.

We visited this fine dining restaurant www.grahamsonthegreen.com, were we had failed to book as per usual, so weren't dressed as appropriately as some of the other diners, but the Matre D greeted us enthusiastically and showed us to a table. We enjoyed a starter and a main and a large glass of wine. We had a lovely meal, but can't remember what I ate now. If we go back there again we will book next time and make an effort dress more smartly. Although they let us in, still felt the other diners were dressed better.

I have visited The Dog & Gun Country Restaurant‎, Boreham Rd, Great and Little Leighs, Essex CM3
01245 360 211, a few times having first being introduced to it by a now sadly department friend. I have taken relatives here who have been equally as impressed by the excellent menu and pleasant indoor or outdoor seating options.

The portion sizes for the starters, mains and deserts are always reasonable and there is plenty of options on the menu for everyone, my Aunt being a vegetarian for example really enjoyed it.

Have eaten in this restaurant www.pingpongdimsum.com‎ in their branch near Liverpool Street, near Tower Bridge and I think one in Soho. Every time we have thoroughly enjoyed the dim sum and liked the way you can pencil tick your menu options off a checklist at the side of your dinner mat to give to the waiter/waitress to save them writing it down and making service much quicker and more efficient. Wish there was a couple of these restaurants in Chelmsford now as we no longer work in London.
