"Went there on my birthday for a George Benson tribute show which did not start till 10.30pm even though we were told tables were booked from 7pm. Food had no seasoning, very bland. Steak on the menu but they had no sauce to go with it. Waitress said they did not have peppercorn sauce and I should have asked for it at the time I ordered my food and that it takes too long to make so I could not have it. I have had steaks at other restaurants before and when taking the order the waiter/waitress would ask what sauce you wanted with your steak, so being blamed for not asking what sauce they had was annoying especially as it seemed they had no sauce at all. I was offered mint sauce or some sort of gravy with mushrooms and peppers which I refused. I ended up asking for a takeaway container for my steak, but then they claimed they had no carrier bag to put it in, even though I saw them give someone else a carrier bag for the same purpose"

"Such a shame. Not enough staff, very slow not very attentive. Needs a good clean!! Bathrooms were not very clean : Roast dinner was nice but said it included colofllwer cheese but dident.. another table also complained this was the case with their food too. Desert ok.. definitely just frozen cake warmed up and cheap ice cream (1 small scoop) for £5! Plates left on table for ages, had to go and give them out glasses and plates in the end.. I noticed so many people were doing the same. They collect dirty glasses in an Asda grocery basket??? Such a shame as has loads of potential but just need a good clean and couple of things then it’ll be perfect. Staff really need to be more friendly or attentive. It was like talking to a brick wall. Not very welcoming."

"we were greeted with irritation, told to sit there on another waitress and the menus were thrown on the table. we waited for for forty minutes to be served, but were ignored so that we left. I complained to the waiter behind the bar, who agreed that it was a terrible wise to treat customers. We have never known such a creepy experience and the evening should be a champagne party. Total Never again"

"We hired the private function room for my mums wake, and I can’t fault Kelly and the team. The buffet was plentiful, fresh and varied. My auntie is gluten free and they offered to cook her anything from the menu, in the end she settled with sandwiches they made so many she took the rest home. Arriving after the funeral we were all very fragile but Kelly was so warm and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Kayla and Katy in her team made sure drinks were flowing and cleared empty plates efficiently. Thank you so much for everything and the next time we hire your function room I hope it will be on happier circumstances."

"Lovely place and was impressed but unfortunately the chaotic service spoilt the experience such a shame as it has all the trappings to be an excellent business I ordered porridge and toast which arrived quick also my granddaughters scrambled eggs on toast but unfortunately my daughters and son in laws seemed to have been given to the wrong table so I had eaten mine before theirs arrived so the whole experience seem to take all morning .The tables have numbers on them so surely as the orders are taken by a member of staff why not put the table number on the order to stop this mistake happening again They lady that took our order was pleasant and friendly but other staff did not seem to have the same presence .Went into the farm shop to buy some things the two men on the till where 100% better in their friendly nature than the staff in the cafe side.Please get some organisation as you do have a lovely clean place"

"It had been 7 years since my last visit to this restaurant, as I had a bad experience on Christmas. However, I decided to give it another try for a mid-week birthday meal. Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly by the head waiter who remembered us and led us to our table. The menu had not changed much since our last visit, but it was not a problem since it had been so long. We started with the mushrooms and fillet beef in red wine and chilli, as well as the avocado, mozzarella, and tomato. My only complaint was that there were too many sliced mushrooms compared to the strips of fillet beef. For our main courses, we chose the skate wing and fillet steak, served with fresh vegetables and sautéed potatoes. The main courses were hot, well presented, and delicious. Overall, the meal was decent but not outstanding, and the wine was expensive. It was also one of the few restaurants that still charged a cover charge for bread and butter. The prices were high, but I was not surprised."

"Omg I can’t believe I have turned up to a pub and the staff was lovely, Shania could not do enough for us even tho we changed our menu after ordering , Simon the chef I am a very fussy eater but he came out and went through the menu and even showed me the fridge where everything was fresh and clean, as I can be fussy beats weatherspoon prices and service, I honestly think they deserve a little collection pot as credit where it’s due these little gems are nothing but helpful x Also yes the managers are professional but don’t forget the team of the lovely waitress Rubi and the bar boys John and Joe!

"The food is nice but the portions of rice are very small. A vegetable biryani is like an ice cream scoop worth of rice. It’s like the rice is on rations. The papadums are £5 for 2 which is very expensive for papadums. Other than that we had a pleasant time here but probably won’t go back."

"Six of us turned up without a booking of which they couldn't seat us at that time (either two small or one larger table). This was understandable for a Sunday evening as it did appear busy. The gentleman taking bookings however did say they could happily accommodate us at 20:30. We turned back up at that time and we were led straight to our table. Fantasic we thought! The restaurant closes at 22:00 on a Sunday so we had plenty of time to relax and eat. After sorting drinks, we went up to order food. Overall it looked fantastic apart from the Chef stating that Toby do not serve pork crackling on a Sunday!? The meat area was very well presented and had two chefs carving. For some reason the queue still moves extremely slowly. Once passed the meet station, the food serving area looks like an absolutely unmanaged mess. This was not an isolated incident as the same was observed in a previous visit not too long beforehand. The gravy is a total disaster it's barely flavoured brown liquid with the consistency of water. About 20 minutes into enjoying our first round of food, the food station lights are turned off. Odd we thought there's the best part of an hour before the restaurant closes. No notice given to any customers, they just turned off the lights. It then appeared that the staff completely forgot that customers were still present and proceeded to enter into an unprofessional state where customers were an annoyance to them. Trying to be quick, we jumped up for the second round of veg where before we could get a yorkshire pud, one of the staff put her hand into the yorkshire puds container and pulled out a pud... unknowing where those hands had been, we decided to not bother having any more of those! Odd staff banter then proceeded. We thought we'd go for a top up to our bottomless soft drinks only to find that staff had also turned off the drink station unannounced. So we had unlimited refills but now only a single fill up. This was at approximately 21:10 when the restaurant closes at 22:00. A trip to the bar for a sneaky apperitif (was the BIL's birthday afterall) was met with tables/chairs put away, staff rudely not acknowling us and even a request for just some ice was too much trouble. Customers really are a hinderance to these workers. We only saw the person who seated us for a second time when it was due for us to pay. It was like they were hiding away... possibly desperate to get home (I know it's a Sunday evening) but also to consider is that a Sunday comes with a 50% increased meal cost premium by Toby. I will say that the food served (apart from the gravy) was very nice. A good selection of meats and a health portion size so long as paying for the upgrade. The lack of follow up trips let them down, but not as much as the absolutely poor staff service and lack of professionalism in front of customers! We may return again in the future but (a) much earlier, (b) with an advanced booking and (c) no expectations of customer friendly service this way we don't need to rely on staff actually communicating when food/drink is being deactived or have the courtesy of a bar drink hand delivered! To note we did not complain about service, food or drink. It was the BIL's birthday therefore we just paid and left quietly taking the horrendous service, lack of etiquette/manners, and underdelivered meal in the way they obviously expected us to. Staff service 1/10 Staff professionalism 2/10 Food taste 6/10 Food appealingness 3/10 Drinks 6/10"

"The atmosphere at this restaurant was fantastic for a Father's Day brunch. We made a last minute reservation and everything went smoothly when we arrived. We were seated promptly and offered drinks. The menu had a variety of options, although it was disappointing that they did not serve breakfast or brunch. I ordered the roast beef with Yorkshire pudding and it was delicious. I also indulged in the homemade apple cake with custard, which was so good that I couldn't even snap a picture before devouring it."

"I am really disappointed that a great night out with friends was ruined by such rude staff. We had pre-booked a table before hand and when we arrived it was clear that it was extremely busy... that we didn’t mind! What we did mind was...after ordering out starters which came out over a period of minutes; we went on to order our mains on the ‘All you can eat’ menu. We was then approached by a waitress claiming to be the ‘owner’ who in the rudest way said ‘we wouldn’t be able to eat all that we had ordered’ and basically was saying they wouldn’t make it. We were women and being a business owner myself I would not have ordered food if I did not believe we couldn’t eat it. My friend had to remove a dish from the menu as did I. I have eaten here many times in the past year and have never had an issue but my last two visits have been awful and I do not think I will bring my family back again now. The situation was dealt with so rudely and unprofessional and never would I dream of treating anyone how we was treated tonight. It made us feel so uncomfortable and that we didn’t even want to eat, in fact at one point I went outside to cool off. I really am not normally one to complain but you cannot treat people like that and think it is acceptable. I truly believe all eyes were on the larger party that was dining and spending more money! We should have paid half the bill seems you could only fulfil half the order! I have never been spoken to like that by anyone especially being a paying customer! Completely false advertising and trading standards need to be made aware of this, the tax man also needs to review your booking diary against the level of payments you are receiving being a cash only restaurant now! I am truly disappointed and this used to be one of my favourite places to dine. I will not forget this experience but you definitely rocked the wrong boat!!!!"

"Waited over 30 mins for service after being shown to our table. We asked twice for service to no avail. The staff could clearly not deal with the amount of customers but there were not even that busy. Eventually we walked out and the queue of customers waiting to be seated was so long despite there being many empty tables. Our night out was spoiled. We went to Frankies Bennys where the service was great and so was the food. Take a lesson from them Nandos."

"Went with a group of friends for a few drinks before we went out for a birthday meal. We didn’t eat so can’t comment on the food. Drinks were good of average value for the area. We met Hannah who served us. She was super friendly knowledgeable. So nice to be served by someone very efficient, sadly it’s not always the case these days. We will be back, hopefully for longer next time"

"My dad used to bring me to this Wimpy when I was a kid so getting on for 40+ years ago. It's still run by the same family and customer care is obviously at the heart of what they do, this must be why it's still going. I popped in around same time last year as well and the manager was introducing two elderly couples to each other who'd both been going for 40+ years as well. The food is still excellent, freshly cooked and very quick to arrive, the menu has expanded but you can still get all the faves. The half pounder is recommended. Makes a change to get freshly cooked food with great service and not just the reheated **** available in the usual fast food joints. If you're ever in Bexleyheath drop in and help keep this long running family business going, they probably been in the Broadway longer than any other business other than Christ Church opposite"

"Booked for Father’s Day. Restaurant failed to deduct deposit paid from final bill. On phoning following day, spoke to manager ? who was offhand which was surprising given that it was their error. Didn’t refund to preferred card and denied this was requested by me following my feedback to head office. No apology given at any point for the inconvenience. Would be reluctant to return due to this disappointing customer experience but did find all other staff encountered at the restaurant very nice."

"Not been to the harvester in Falconwood before.. Visited today. The food was great and reasonable priced. The manager was very helpful. The only criticism I have is that we were not told about the salad bar. That you cannot help yourself. When food was ordered the waitress did not tell us, nor did the managers when we enquired about ordering food. Whilst we were at the salad bar a member of staff came over and said the we cannot help ourselves to the salad bar. She was talking quite loudly. This upset my daughter as she felt she had done something wrong. The only thing I would suggest is that when customer are greeted at the front of house that they are made aware about the salad bar or there is clear signage to inform customer on the precautions for the salad bar."

"We were excited to discover a new local restaurant and decided to book a table at Balseros for Saturday night. The Ethiopian cuisine, particularly the cod bowl, was outstanding, and the service was excellent as well. It was quite shocking that we were the only customers there. I truly hope this isn’t the norm because the restaurant deserves to thrive."
