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.
TheForkUserThe food was delicious and the staff provided great service. We were not keen on the new sections where we were sat. It is too high and you feel too shut off from the rest of the restaurant.
Sally SwiftOur First meal here for nearly 3 years to celebrate our Anniversary was greeted by Ash who remembered us from our last visit Beautiful meal complements to the chef Shall be back

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.
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

_TI***doThe Park Gate Inn is a charming country pub with a warm ambiance. The menu has a great variety, and the food is both tasty and reasonably priced.
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 gem hidden in plain sight! The cosy atmosphere and gentle buzz as the lunctime service grew. Clearly there were many regular customers making for a friendly atmosphere. We ordered Cozze marinara and and a prawn and avocado salad. Both genreous and excellent. Our pasta mains were cooked to perfection (again, generous proportions. Staff were atentive and we did not feel rushed. Very good house rose Pino Grigio. Heartally recommend this well-established and authentic restaurant.
_TI***cpThe live music on Friday night created an incredible atmosphere at the Waterfront. The generous portions and high-quality food, especially the fish pie, made for a memorable dining experience.
TheForkUserIt was my Grandson's First Birthday - we had been eating sausage Rolls and sandwiches all day but by the evening needed a proper meal !! We read reviews and it sounded good so we gave it a try. We are not local so it was our first time. We have been to various carveries before but I have to say your food was the best I had eaten at this type of Restaurant. All the meat was tender and moist and the roast potatoes in beef fat were the best ever. In fact all the vegetables were lovely. we agreed that on our next visit to Southend we would take my daughter, her husband and our Grandson for a treat. The atmosphere was cosy and the staff were all friendly and helpful.In particular our waitress Mandy was really friendly and funny. It really made a difference to our visit. we will recommend and be back next time we are in the area.

_TI***rmThe restaurant has a plush and relaxed setting with attentive staff, making it a great place to enjoy good food in a comfortable atmosphere.
_TI***43The White Horse offers an amazing dining experience with a cozy atmosphere and friendly staff. The food is wonderful, and I highly recommend the chorizo prawn pappardelle for its delicious flavor and perfect spice kick!
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.
