"Experience was good, server was accommodating and restaurant honoured requests to accommodate mobility issues. The length of time between courses was quite lengthy. Food was good, but apart from a couple of crackers on the table (considering it was a festive menu) it wasn’t very festive at all. Parking: Decent amount of parking, although you might struggle if it’s busy. Must remember to add number plate to the device inside the restaurant to avoid a fine."

"Part of a large party of people on a Saturday night, organiser book for 14 even tho 16 of us ?? .. the restaurant were fab , on it straight away moved a couple of guests rearranged a both divide and very quickly had the problem resolved. The whole place is run like clockwork, we were 1 large party amongst 6 or 7 other large bookings but you'd never know. Owners obviously employ the right amount of staff to cover the needs, rather than heaping more on a reduced number of staff .. I As a caterer I was very impressed, the food was all served quickly and without delays and was of a good standard and amount . Overall ..VERY IMPRESSED. . From management to all the staff , your doing a great job ."

"We were ladies alone but treated respectfully, and even though there were lots of men, probably from football, having a pint or two, we weren't disturbed and having to pop along to the bathroom was uneventful and acted like gentlemen which was nice The food was alright, l suppose. The roast potatoes were really disappointing and not particularly nice nor roasted, or crunchy as rosties should be but the vegan desert (sticky toffee pudding) was really hard and microwaved to an inch of its life and the vegan custard lumpy and tasteless It's a shame, but l can not even remember what food we'd ordered as it was that uneventful even though it was a Sunday lunch . It's sad as it's got a good view and its own carpalrk Our server was really nice and patient and helpful"

"Appalling! We were greeted by someone who claimed to be the manager, but her appearance and attitude suggested otherwise. She was incredibly rude to the staff, who were much more professional than she was. The food and service were mediocre, and we couldn't help but wonder if we were being pranked. Unfortunately, the bill confirmed that it was not a joke, as it was ridiculously overpriced. Be sure to check out the bar prices and menu before making a reservation, as it feels like daylight robbery. I suspect the positive rating is from family and friends. Avoid this place at all costs!"

"We went into the restaurant about 19:00 shown to a table very quickly then the waiter practically throw cutlery and on the table and just kinda pushed it at us with out saying much, along with the menus, the final straw was when the just kinda slapped the napkins on the table at this point we walked out and went to the restaurant over the road and had an amazing service and meal Service: Dine in"

"Lovely dining experience with my family. The restaurant is exactly like the pictures, the tables all have a good space between them and the windows bring in a lot of natural light. The food we had here was fantastic. The all you can eat menu is very good with a restriction on how many dishes you can order each time (something like 4 dishes for 2 people, 5 for 3, 6 for 4-5 etc. . All of the dishes are small but come out at the same time. Once eaten you can order everything again if you want and it all comes out fresh and hot. Perfect! We ordered most of the appetizers and everything was delicious. Not a single dish we left. The pork dumplings were one of my favourites but there were so many it was hard to pick! The food is mainly served sharing style, so that everyone can have a try. The service was pretty good, we had to flag someone down a few times but it was quite busy so that isn't a problem. The bathroom is upstairs, which may make it harder to visit for some people. Parking can be a little tricky. There is on street parking outside but it fills up quickly. There is a carpark around a 5 minute walk away. Overall it is a lovely restaurant and I can see why everyone raves about it!"

"My husband, two daughters, and I recently visited this restaurant. The staff were extremely friendly and eager to assist. My youngest daughter is a picky eater and changed her mind after we had placed our order, but the staff were very understanding and asked the chef to prepare a child-sized meal from the main menu for her. The restaurant was clean and well-organized, with all the staff working diligently to ensure that everything and everyone was taken care of. The prices were very reasonable, and we all enjoyed our meals. The biscoff cookie was a particular favorite of my eldest daughter."

"We used to rate the Taj highly. But not after our latest visit. In a nutshell, to save you reading further, the staff were disinterested and rarely left the counter. The manager took umbrage at being asked to replace a bad drink. And the food was neither tasty nor hot. We arrived at 6.30 and the place was empty. As the manager passed I pointed out that my bottle of Sparkling Water was totally flat. We said it was Sparkling because it said so on the label and I'd got what I ordered. He then said that I'd opened it and poured it so I'd accepted it. And it wasn't his fault that there were no bubbles. He said if we wanted to leave that was OK. It seemed that unhapppy customers leaving didn't faze him. However my bottle was grudgingly replaced with a good one. The staff, and manager, appeared to be completely disinterested in what they were doing. They just went through the motions. It was really odd. The menu hails the great Chef Abdul. It must have been his day off. Sauces from supermarket bottles are better than those we had. We all commented that our meals were neither tasty nor spicy. And not heat-hot. It pains me to write a damning review but this place needs a wake-up call. We'd love to see it get back to what it used to be."

"Contrary to the last review which seems unbelievably written without having actually visited the pub, I can assure you all that this pub is still going strong. As a regular, I can inform those interested that the beer range is now enhanced with up to...9 craft keg beers as well as cask. Freshly prepared Sunday roasts are 2 for £8.95 and represent great value for money. The landlord now supports live music with up to 4 gigs a week which has revitalised the pub at a time when so many are closing. B&B is now also a key part of it's success. So rather than critise a pub without actually visiting, pop in, and enjoy this great, friendly backstreet boozer. (PS The kitchen was given a clean bill of health when revisited but Medway Council demanded £180 to rescore it"

"Don’t believe everything you read on here, the staff were brilliant and the service for breakfast was excellent. We knew it was likely to be quite a ‘lively’ place to stay while going to a wedding at the cathedral and frankly wondered if we had made a mistake when reading the awful reviews about staff/service. The staff/service couldn’t have been nicer, we only had breakfast and it was very good (and very cheap). First night we had a room on first floor and to be frank it wasn’t great right over the bar that is open until 1am. We asked to be moved to a second floor room for the second night and that was done without fuss..and a much better night of sleep was had! However, the High Street is very busy in evenings and as such there is external noise from ‘high spirited’ people in drink. If you are someone who enjoys night life and goes to bed at 2am this is a great venue, if not then I would suggest somewhere away from the town centre will be more suitable. Both of our rooms were very clean and comfortable with excellent showers."

"I am perplexed about the necessity of providing our card details over the phone at this restaurant. It seems risky as they could potentially misuse that information. However, the customer service was excellent. Delivery was prompt and efficient. We ordered dinner and the cost per person ranged from £90 to £100. The food was tasty, receiving a rating of 4 out of 5. The service was top-notch, earning a perfect score of 5. The atmosphere was pleasant, earning a rating of 4. I recommend trying the Egg Fried Rice dish."

"Had a brilliant afternoon at the Poachers Pocket. Lovely roast dinner which was really good, great portion sizes, hot food and was thoroughly enjoyed. Isn’t the first time we’ve eaten here so knew it would be good We had a few drinks in the bar after and it was a great atmosphere football was on, lots of people and a really enjoyable afternoon. Thanks to all the staff for making sure we had everything we needed and for being friendly and welcoming. A little shout out to Toni (I hope I spelt that right) who was the manager I believe she welcomed us in and was obviously making sure that everything was running smoothly (which it was) , which meant everyone was happy and having a good time! So nice to have a local pub /restaurant that we can’t fault from the food to the service and how it’s run! We will be back very soon! Thank you!"

"Our usual takeaway closes on Tuesday, so we decided to order from Cliffe Spice. The phone was answered promptly, our order taken , option to pay by cash or by card (we chose cash), and we were told the meal would be delivered in 45 minutes. Not bad, considering we are a ten minute drive away (about 5.5 miles). So we were pleasantly surprised when the meal arrived less than 35 minutes later by a very pleasant, well mannered driver. The food itself was excellent: piping hot and absolutely delicious. Sometimes Indian restaurants over-cook meat, but the chicken, lamb and prawns were all juicy and soft, and although highly spiced, all the dishes were completely balanced and we could still taste the individual elements. It was one of the best Indian meals we have had, certainly on a par with top London restaurants like Bombay Brasserie, but nowhere near as pricey. In fact, we thought the overall cost to be very reasonable compared to other local restaurants, and considering the amount of meat in it, it was exceptional value. Even the Peshwari Naan was stuffed full of coconut, unlike some I have had where you are hard pressed to be able to taste it. The one element that we were not completely happy with was the onion bhajees, which seemed slightly under-cooked to us. They left a floury texture on the tongue, as if the gram flour had not cooked all the way through. However, that was not sufficient to spoil the meal, nor to downgrade our rating. In fact we will probably go to the restaurant itself next time rather than order a takeaway, to get the full experience."

"The Three Crutches is an amazing venue... Rob was a great host, friendly and helpful. This pub has a huge rear garden with climbing frame and grass areas for the children... (Never took pictures as children were playing on it) there are ample inside and outside tables... The inside eating areas have Plush comfy seating and even the bar stools are of high quality (photo) This pub Restaurant was refurbished to an extraordinary high standards and Rob and his team have made sure it's kept in tip top condition... The pub is spotless throughout. Very popular with many of the locals and when I saw the beautiful food leaving the kitchen I decided to have lunch... The B.L T Sandwich I had was 2nd to none.... Amazing textures and flavours complimented with the chips, 5s The Three Crutches has a very large free carpark, Serves top class food and every member of staff was courteous and eager to help. This is a fantastic example of how pubs should be run... A very clean and comfortable place to enjoy some quality family time. Well worth a visit"

"This restaurant is a pleasant place to enjoy a meal and unwind. It is situated among a row of shops with a view overlooking the parking lot. The cafe is easily identifiable by the red lettering above the large window. Upon entering, it may seem ordinary until noticing the black and white photos on the walls, particularly ones of New York. I had a satisfying full English breakfast with a variety of options, accompanied by a mug of tea. While it may have a working-class appearance, the atmosphere is welcoming and there are daily newspapers available for diners. The car park is free, and the restaurant is run by two friendly individuals. Customers order and pay before taking a seat, and there is a steady flow of patrons, especially during peak hours. The lunch menu offers a wide selection ranging from chicken curry to gammon grill, with a dedicated children's menu as well. Additionally, there are sandwiches, burgers, pies, jacket potatoes, and more, ensuring there is something for everyone. The opening hours are from 7:30 am to 3 pm Monday to Friday, and 8 am to 2 pm on Saturdays. Overall, I believe it offers good value for the money."

"Went for light lunch. Food was lovely, according to my kids a bit too much Mayo in the wraps. Waitress was very polite and looked after us. Pictures were taken after I poured my rice into my curry and kids had taken a mouthful Only downside was we weren’t greeted that nicely by the older lady, it was like she didn’t really want us to come in. Both myself and my wife said goodbye to her and got no reply. She was obviously busy but should always look to say goodbye to your customers."

"So I made an order on uber eats, as you can see in my order I asked for a chicken kebab wrap. Not only does the packaging say “Lamb kebab” but the wrap was also filled with lamb. I rung the shop up and they basically told me I was lying and that it was chicken, and told me that the writing on the packaging was a mistake. I can assure you this tastes and smells like lamb, AND looks like it too. I hung up in anger as they didn’t seem to be doing anything to correct my order. In all the experience with this place was shocking and their customer service was very bad. Never going here again, not being called a liar over the phone when it’s clearly lamb."

"had such a good day so decided that I and my other half deserved a little tasty so paid for fish and chips delivered not only was eating on his side and the curry sauce was open and over the bag. but the food was stone cold and half of my meal was not even there! they collected us 3 sausages when we only ordered two, so I think there is a plus side, but then again they were not even cooked! chips lacked at my meal and the one we had were terrible and stone cold! they called them to know and they called me down and everyone put me down £18,00 of the geldes we shouldn't have really literally spent in the müll! always check explains that they let themselves be guided by me when I think I feel that way."
