Review of Prosecco Gin & Dance - Chelmsford

We only stayed an hour as we had to wait ages to get served for both food and drinks. Disappointed as was really looking forward to it.

Review of Prosecco Gin & Dance - Chelmsford

Over priced and over hyped. Expensive uncreative drinks in a field. Expected more of a choice for Gin that didn’t contain tonic. I Could of brought any one of those drinks for a cheaper price in a bar down the road. The highlight was the c**ktail bar outside. Ended up leaving after 3 drinks in.

Good all round night out,only thing that needs improvement is the bar service,hard to enjoy the event when your queuing at the bar for drinks for 1hr.

Review of Prosecco Gin & Dance - Chelmsford

Great atmosphere but choice of food and price of drinks a major let down!!

Review of Prosecco Gin & Dance - Chelmsford

Fun evening spent with friends. Danced the night away to great music. Had a giggle.
Prosecco expensive £25 bottle which you can buy for under a tenner and bar waiting time ridiculous some people queued for 45mins!! £1 for plastic flute which split!!

Review of Prosecco Gin & Dance - Chelmsford

Not enough bar staff so huge queues and long wait, majorly over priced, only 2 places which also took forever to get food...not really organised well . Asked questions on fb and no one responded...

Review of Prosecco Gin & Dance - Chelmsford

They ran out of half their supplies within a few hours. Only had two food vans. Queues were ridiculous. Staff didn’t know what they were doing. We left after about 2 hours.

Review of Prosecco Gin & Dance - Chelmsford

Really good night just quite overpriced and advertisement for ‘Italian street food’ was just a burger van selling pizzas. Good evening but very basic and overpriced.

Review of Prosecco Gin & Dance - Chelmsford

Had a good time overall but there were the following issues:

1. Carlsberg has run out within 45 minutes of it opening and same with the truffle fries from the burger stand
2. Not enough staff at the bar resulting in 45 minute wait for drinks. Ridiculous when it was only a 5 hour event!
3. Prosecco and gin glasses ran out quickly. Odd when you think that is what the festival was for.
4. Lots of issues with the pay machines.

The above issues are really not good. Please can someone provide a formal reply.

Review of Prosecco Gin & Dance - Chelmsford

For an alcohol festival that is focused on max profits that doesn’t employ enough bar staff is greedy and doesn’t deserve repeat business. No proper planning and poor exicution. Daytime attendees 1 hour to get served BAD

Review of Prosecco Gin & Dance - Chelmsford

We had a good time but we were disappointed with the lack of food choices (waiting times were ridiculous) and long queues at the bar. And given we had paid for entry we felt the bar and food prices were too high.

Good night, great to have a drink and dance.

Review of Prosecco Gin & Dance - Chelmsford

Disorganised Bar. Expensive considering you are in a damp tent in a field and drinking from plastic cups. 20 minutes toget served at the bar and what seemed like another 20 minutes to prepare 4 drinks. Ordered 2 gin and tonics and hardly had any gin in it. Had run out of white wine by 7pm.
An event titled prosecco gin and dance you would think would have an air of sophistication.
Lack of places to get food.
I had expected lots of food and drink stalls to sample and taste different gins and proseccos
Paid £20 for ticket and not sure what I really got for that so very poor value for money

Review of Prosecco Gin & Dance - Chelmsford

Could have done with more bar staff or more card machines. Confusion around prices as well... maybe a banner with the drinks/prices instead of the printed sheets which were not always available

Review of Prosecco Gin & Dance - Chelmsford

Same set for mid and pm music
Think should have ended with DJ
Drinks over priced and bar disorganised. Staff were good, just having to run up and down bar for 1 round of drinks
Great venue
Good atmosphere

Review of Prosecco Gin & Dance - Chelmsford

On arrival the que for the bar (there was only one) was 5-6 people deep the whole way across. Incredibly understaffed. We waited without moving for around 20 minutes for a drink (it's a drinks festival). Without getting any closer to the bar we left. We were not the only ones.

Nice idea. Music seemed good. Prices were what you'd expect. Unfortunately greed won out and for the sake of adding a few more staff the experience was ruined.

Review of Prosecco Gin & Dance - Chelmsford

Event was not as advertised, took 40mins to get first drink, bar so busy no real opportunity to properly sample Prosecco and Gins, very limited food offering - 1 pizza van and one burger tent operating on very small scale equipment. Band was good, and Scott mills managed to get the party started. Great idea - parley executes.

Would not recommend

Review of Prosecco Gin & Dance - Chelmsford

Great event, excellent entertainment - however, need more bar staff!! The wait to get served in the middle of the evening was ridiculous.
