TheForkUserSimply the very best food and service. Always eat here when visiting Eastbourne. Such fresh ingredients and cooked before your very eyes. Can’t recommend enough
TheForkUserThis is the third time of coming here for a special occasion and it never fails. The best steak we have ever eaten. Service attentive by polite friendly staff.
TheForkUserfood was amazing and priced reasonably presentation was good portion sizes are a good size.. waiter was very helpful and happy to explain the dishes service was prompt. don't judge the food by the tired outside . would highly recommend this place for authentic and quality food
TheForkUserDue to health reasons I am unable to eat a full meal. The waitress by the name of Fran was very helpful and made sure my needs were met
TheForkUser7 of us had dinner while visiting Eastbourne to watch my son in the Easter Panto. We preordered our food and had fantastic in person service at the restaurant. The food was deliscious, I highly recommend the crab cakes to start! All 7 of us agreed we would return if in Eastbourne again!
TheForkUserThe staff were nice especially our waitress how was lovely,really nice food we won’t eat anywhere else from now on when we are In Canterbury,looking forward to returning have told my brother in law and his wife about it and they are going next week.
TheForkUserAbsolutely love this restaurant, really lovely food. Great atmosphere, great service and great food. Brilliant place to go for a leisurely lunch/dinner.
TheForkUserWe had booked for a family lunch, my partner is disabled and uses a scooter. The staff accommodated us beautifully and we wanted for nothing. Even offered to carry the second plate for me as I collected his meal. A little disappointed that so.e of the desserts were off the menu but it was immediately after Christmas. We will book for our family gatherings again.
TheForkUserMy friend and I had just completed a 10 mile walk in 3 hours so it was great to receive a warm welcome on entering and the offer of pre- lunch drinks which were quickly produced. We were well looked after throughout our lunch by Steph who was polite, friendly and efficient. The food itself was very good (we both had the Sea Bass in a Pea and Pancetta veloute). First time visit but certainly not the last.
TheForkUserMy friend and I enjoyed a lovely carvery today. We received a lovely welcoming and a fast service. I didn't catch his name but the man that welcomed us and sat us at our table was really polite. Great food, great price and brilliant service. Thank you
TheForkUserReally great fish and chips for 17 of us, which included mainly residents from our care home. Staff really accommodated us and food and service was great. Would definitely return
TheForkUserMiserable weather out but a nice warm restaurant in; we were greeted with a smile by Lilly. The restaurant was quiet so we were able to sit wherever we wanted. Sadly, the Channel views were not to be today as the weather was so bad. This was compensated for by attentive service from Lilly and well cooked and presented food from the kitchen. This is our second visit and we will certainly come again.
TheForkUserWe try to visit the Foundry every time that we visit friends in Canterbury (about twice a year). Every visit the food, beer, & service has been excellent. Highly recommended!
TheForkUserA great Place to visit, tucked away and warm and cosy with plenty of choice of menu and seating areas to suit most ,and the staff are all really friendly and make you feel welcome and service you are not waiting a long time for makes it a good choice .
TheForkUserA great Sunday lunch and well worth the money A very good choice of starters and desserts as well as a great roast would highly recommend the folk at the Bridgewood Manor will be going again very soon very friendly staff and great service
TheForkUserA lovely experience for myself and my friend. The setting had a lovely Christmassy feel and backdrop. The choices on the menu were good and the food beautifully presented. The service was just right we were not hurried and the staff were helpful.
TheForkUserLast evening was not my first visit. Each occasion provides excellent food, served by nice people. Every time. The kind of food not available elsewhere.
_TI***ruI enjoyed a lovely meal in a peaceful setting with excellent service. The prices are reasonable, making it a great value for the quality of food and atmosphere.
TheForkUserThe food was really tasty and well presented. I would highly recommend the steak, which was delicious. The staff were attentive and helpful and thoughtful, without being intrusive. There was a friendly, relaxed atmosphere, with excellent background music, which was quiet enough not to spoil conversation. When it got dark outside, the change in the lighting changed the ambience, which I really liked. I would highly recommend the Vista Bar Cafe at The View hotel.
