Well what can I say. We made a last minute decision to eat out on a Sunday, this wasn’t our first choice (as we didn’t really know about it) but after phoning around this was the only place able to fit us in.
I must say the food was excellent, the environment was clean and calm.
I had what they call a Super Roast Dinner, my wife had a Mushroom Wellington Roast dinner and our little man had a kids meal Chicken Nuggets and Chips.
As the name suggests A Super Roast Dinner. This was absolutely delicious , the food was that good that the only thing I’d change about it would be to have more. Perhaps a couple of roast potatoes and some more gravy would have made it better but I have to say awesome dinner.
My wife who is the fussiest eater in the world absolutely loved her food to the point where she cleared the plate.
My son who’s favorite is chicken nuggets and chips also loved his dinner which was good quality chicken goujons and rustic fries.
Afters :
I had a Snickers Cheesecake, the wife had Chocolate Brownie and my son had ice cream that comes with the kids meal.
My desert was very good my only thoughts is that it was a little too much cheesecake and not enough ice cream, but that is me really trying to find fault.
My wife’s chocolate brownie and ice cream was lovely and again she unusually cleared the plate.
My sons kids meal ice cream was exactly the ice cream which he loved.
So to sum it up I’m so glad that we found this place completely out of desperation to eat Sunday dinner without cooking and I’m glad the other options were too busy to accommodate us. Next time this will be our first choice as we enjoyed our dining experience here.
There was only 1 hiccup which was when it came to paying as they wouldn’t accept £50 notes, so they brought out the card machine and problem solved.
What can I say about the Whitmore Arms..!! Went there last night for a Birthday meal with a friend.The minute you walk through the door there is a nice smile and a nice welcome from whoever is behind the bar.The beer is expertly kept...always nice especially the Guinness.Have used this establishment for many years and have never been disappointed.I can honestly say hand on heart that I have never had a bad meal here.Last night was no different....I started with Smoked Salmon and my friend had Tempura prawns.Both were lovely.Our main courses was medallions of beef with a cheese sauce....delicious :-)
We finished with Bakewell tart with custard and caramel cheesecake....again....to die for..!!!
This establishment is expertly run by the Orman family.All the staff are expertly trained by Margaret and it shows...They are all top notch....You always feel so Welcome the minute you set foot in the place.This is the best pub in Thurrock by far....for meals and for beer.....Give the place a try...believe me you will not regret it.
We had dinner with friends at The Whitmore Arms on Thursday 19 April to celebrate my partner’s birthday. The new menu looked amazing and it was difficult to choose what to have as it all looked so good. Our food was delicious, the staff very attentive, friendly and helpful in all aspects of our visit. We had a fabulous time with our friends and highly recommend anyone to pay a visit; you will have great time.
