"We had a special meal to celebrate our anniversary, and I’m so glad we discovered this restaurant. The atmosphere was elevated, the music was relaxed and pleasant, and the service was incredibly friendly while still being efficient. As for the food—wow! My partner, who usually just says "good" or "nice" when asked about his meal, described his dish as outstanding and delicious, which speaks volumes. Each course was beautifully presented and left us feeling satisfied rather than overly full. I can't recommend the blueberry panna cotta enough! This place is an absolute must-visit if you're in the area, whether you're celebrating something special or just want a fantastic meal in a wonderfully relaxed environment. It was truly wonderful!"

"We booked without checking the menu, and didn't realise their main course is build around rotisserie chicken. I don't eat meat, so we opted for some starters and salads with sides a burrata salad with a side of new potatoes for me, and a cesar salad with extra shredded chicken and a side of truffle mac n cheese for hubby. Food was delicious and well presented. Cocotte spritz is nice and refreshing, and they can make a **** mary which isn't on the menu but is very good. It got a bit noisy so if you would like a more private dinner ask for a quiet table, there are a few standalone ones."

"Was a little apprehensive on booking not a location I'd expect to find a restaurant with such good reviews but the food was sublime. Everything freshly prepared and the menu/specials gave plenty of choice. The service was excellent discreet but attentive. Barbara and Roberto really were marvellous hosts. Passionate about their food and very engaging. I would highly recommend Olive to anyone looking for really good food in unpretentious surroundings."

"I would like to start my review on my first time at the Crown in the greeting when we first arrived was good evening sir and madam this was from the manager who wore a suit with shirt and tie, shown to our table...introduced to our waitress for the evening who was well presented in a smart white blouse and black skirt, the food was top notch and the service was excellent. Now let's review my last visit in the greeting hi guys can I get you some drinks we looked at the menu and ordered our food from our table server who was in a creased polo shirt black Jean's and white trainers, my wife wanted the chicken ceasar salad but asked for the anchovies to be left out, food arrived well presented but the ceasar salad had no dressing on it so we asked for the dressing but apparently the dressing is with the anchovies so if you remove the anchovies you lose the dressing, being from a catering background I found this to accept but was told no separate dressing now what sort of kitchen does not have any kind of dressing I will tell you it's the crown st Blandford, my side dish of broccoli with cheese and garlic was missed off so arrived late, when you read on a menu broccoli with cheese and garlic I would expect it to be like a cauliflower cheese but no it's just broccoli with with some parmesan shaken on it. What did surprise me is that the manager was in Jean's and an opened neck shirt, this casual look obviously reflects on the casual way the staff work. The Crown used to be the flagship of the brewery but alas this is not the case now."

"Me and my partner stayed here for her 30th birthday for a nice night away in the executive suite. The hotel is absolutely lovely, the whole place was very posh and Modern. The room was outstanding. Lovely and warm, the heating system was great and it was spotless and clean. The spa facilities were fantastic, great pool area and sauna and Jacuzzi. The food and drink in the bar and grill was lovely, one of the nicest meals we've had. The breakfast was lovely too the following morning. The staff were very accommodating and we had everything catered for. Would like to thank Anish and heywood spa for great evening. We'll definitely be recommending to others (already have) and we will definitely be back soon! Thanks all, room 205!"

"Came here about a month ago looking for a coffee and something at about 2pm on a Saturday afternoon. It looks very twee from the outside and the cakes do look so scrumptious. The waitress was very French and had limited English the guy in the kitchen assisted. We needed gluten free and fortunately they did a very nice chocolate orange muffin. But that was possibly the only thing I could have eaten apart from a Salad unfortunately. Coffee and tea ok ,nice large cups but not very hot contents. It's nice and bright inside and you are not squashed in at all. Some quirky wallpaper and obje'dart. Wasn't majorly expensive , £8 for 2 drinks and 2 cakes . Parking near might be a problem for most people. Small car park opposite. Good for taking a break from shopping in Roman Road. Just slightly lacking in atmosphere."

"The Gardener's Arms is obviously perfectly located for visits to Ardingly Show Ground, but the place is very pleasant and cosy, the staff were absolutely charming, food good and interesting (without being too frightening! and generally a pleasant experience after a rather busy visit to the annual quilt show. Only complaint it is tooo popular so rather busy. Very glad we booked in advance!"

"My husband and I dine here often, but after dining there last night. I don't think we will be back. We had a booking for 7.45pm and we arrived a little early. Our table wasn't ready, so we were moved to another table that was close to the doors to the terrace... it wasn't the warmest of places to sit people, especially when that door was constantly in motion. When we ordered our food, we were told that you had no roasts left... so we ordered the salmon and the duck... after a short while, the waitress told us that the kitchen had also run out of those!! We settled for cheese burger and fish and chips in the end, as this was pretty much our only choice left on the Sunday menu! However, when it arrived, the fish was really greasy, the chips inedible as they looked like they'd been cooked in dirty fat and for far too long, and the burger was really dry. It's a real shame. We don't usually mind paying a bit more as the food there has always been lovely, but we paid £66 for 2 meals, and we didn't eat most of the main. The only good thing about it was the larder plate, which we shared as a starter. I wish I'd taken photos of the food to show how bad it was. We left not long after our food arrived. When I paid for the bill at the bar. I wasn't asked if everything was OK with the food. Otherwise, I might have had this conversation with the staff. My only advice to tourists is to try other places. The Quay Inn does quality food and for a reasonable price. You can always find space to sit and eat or just have a drink. It's the lure of the quay that makes the Granary so busy!"

"As always, it was a lovely night at the restaurant. Instead of ordering a main course, I opted for 2 starters and was pleasantly surprised when I received double portions of one dish while my friends got their mains. The portions are always generous, the service is super friendly, and the food has a great home-cooked style. This restaurant is a favorite for me and my friends because we can bring our own wine at a more affordable price. The corkage fee is now £5 per bottle, but we are happy to pay it because everything else about this place is worth it. I ended up paying £20 for corkage, 3 starter dishes, and a tip. There are usually leftovers for the next day, which is always a bonus."

"My friend booked here for afternoon tea for 4 people and received confirmation. Upon arriving at 1 p.m on a Saturday afternoon the place was empty which was very surprising given that other nearby venues were crowded, they also didn't seem aware that we had booked for afternoon tea either. Alarms bells started to ring when the waitress asked for our drinks order my friend asked what type of teas there were, to which the reply was PG Tips and then she advised that she would see what the chef could put together. It got worse from there when the afternoon tea selection came out. Cheese and onion and some unidentifiable meat sandwiches, slices of quiche and a small selection of macarons,tiny doughnuts, scones and profiteroles minus the chocolate. It looked very unappealing so we decided that we didn't want to contemplate eating this and there was no way we were going to pay for this either. We decided to leave after speaking to the staff who in all honesty were very apologetic and said that we didn't have to pay for our teas and coffees even though we offered to pay for them. They even said we could still stay and eat what they'd brought out and we wouldn't have to pay but we politely refused. Please be very aware that the menu advertised on the website is NOT what we were served. How this place is still in business is beyond me.....just don't even bother going here."

"Great food everything that we had was fantastic. The only downside was the service for two reasons. we had to remind the waiting staff several times for things we'd asked for e.g. wine, water etc I ordered a green veg salad with quinoa which was meant to come with broccoli, mangetout etc, but arrived as just lettuce leaves. I pointed out that it was wrong, but the waitress tried to style it out saying it was the vegetable. I had to both point to the table next to us who had the right one, and also poke through the salad to show there was literally nothing but lettuce leaves there for her to finally accept that she might need to change it. Bit of a shame as the food is truly excellent"

"the restaurant was appalling. I arrived at the bar an ordered a cocktail, 10 minutes later they ask me what I would like! It took another 10 mins to arrive. This was just the beginning. We got a table and then were forgotten about. Our drinks order took ages to get to us and we had to remibd them. The food arrived all at once with the hot main being more tepid than warm. Water we ordered took ages to arrive. It just became comical it was so bad. Now I've eaten in this restaurant a few times and it's been great but this time was bad. Cameron the waiter was the only one who saved a complete farce...he knew it was bad and apologised. The problem is that you pay a lot of money for an appalling experience....I didn't realise until later that there was a service charge included otherwise I would have asked for it to be removed. So disappointing."

"I was twice too jazzgir, the latest addition to harbour exchange in docklands, and it is really amazing. service and friendliness of the staff are top note, then there is the live music they just blow away. eating smart is a very compact menu, but full of joys from italia with a modern whirl. a fantastic bar with amazing cocktails is also brilliant, but if they stick with their dinner at the prosecco, they will not be disappointed. the night ends with more drinks, while fantastic Latin tunes play on the background, inviting to dance. if at all, a dance floor for late stays would be a welcome supplement. all in all, very happy with such a precious stone so close to my home."

"Worst Service Ever. I went twice for birthdays with groups of 12 to 15 people. The food was average, especially since they removed the lamb chops from their already limited menu (for better quality and wider choice in the neighbourhood go to the house When it came to paying they systematically tried to charge us 2 or 3 drinks that either nobody ordered or that were already paid for The service is actually the worst I've ever seen in London!! Being French, I couldn't help but notice that the French managers taught all the clichés to their staff: they are arrogant, unhelpful, rude, slow, you name it they have it. One of the 2 waitresses that was there on Sunday was just...read more"

"I was with three other friends and we were welcomed and the service was quick-maybe a little too quick! As it was Sunday we had the roasts which were good but as other diners have said in other reviews the meat was a little cold. The meat was very good otherwise but that was a shame. Starters and deserts are OK-nothing outstanding but overall Marmiton is better not on a Sunday and the a la Carte menu is much better. Reasonable prices."

"Our tea at the Stafford was absolutely lovely. We opted for the Stafford as something quieter and more unique than the larger tea houses. The decor, ambiance, and hospitality were unparalleled. Everything was well appointed. Our 10, 13, and 15 year old children found the food and tea delicious. Our 13 year old American son now believes tea to be his favorite beverage. When we have the good fortune to be in London again, we will most definitely return to the Stafford."

". The interior is charming with plenty of seating, and the coffee is delicious. The staff was friendly and attentive, and I enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. I would definitely recommend Ergon to anyone looking for a great coffee shop in the area."
