Best:
Bishops Stortford CC Amazing pitch, Amazing outfield

Belhus CC: Home team, outfield not always the best but the pitch is always a road, nice setting too.

Worst
Goresbrook CC: Poor pitch, poor facilities

Grays and Chadwell CC: One of the worst pitches going, doesn't help when chavs on motorbikes drive across your game either.

Best: Shenley. :o - There was a butler?! And the pitch was a road and outfield excellent.
Though Highgate is a lovely place to play, short straight boundaries, road of a pitch and quick outfield (300 sometimes isn't enough there...)

Worst: Wembley - dodgy pitch there yesterday - balls rising sharply or keeping low and shooting through, no work done on pitch (it was green :( ) and an uncut outfield :(
Wilf Slack - Highgate 3s-5s's ground. Oh dear.

got a few crap ones:-

East Keswick - a fine example of a (No Swearing Please) yorkshire wicket, up at the throat and down at the toes, seams,spins - sightscreens and a clubhouse save it from being the worst

Kippax - truely terrible, half cricket pitch half rugby field. Drunken locals, council yobs, theft, fights, abuse - you name it I've either heard the story or seen it myself there . pitch plays ok

Slough 5's - before they moved to Boyne Hill they used a park pitch near slough town centre. Couldn't tell it from the outfield, first innings everything flew up at the throat, second innings everything went along the floor. No facilities, without doubt a few class shithole.
