Blue Strawberry Bistro, Hatfield Peverel Review

Visited in December for my birthday with my other half. On arrival we were left to wait in the bar/cloakroom area for 10 mins before being told what was going on with our table. The restaurant was very busy but we should have been told that all their bookings were running late rather than leave us standing in a crowded entrance not knowing what was going on.



When we were seated we were pleased with the food that we ate, the chefs are clearly some of the better ones in the area. The main problem was the stuffy atmosphere and narcky waiting staff. This seems to be a common theme in reviews and we found it no different. It's not that staff are won't help, but that they don't seem particularly willing or happy to and at times come across sarcastic and arrogant which is a real atmosphere killer. This restaurant needs to understand that their are plenty of places to get good food in the Chelmsford area now (Grahams, Blue Bridge, Alma etc) so they cannot rely solely on their food, which was admittedly very tasty, and should get some friendlier staff!
