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.
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
TheForkUserThe young lady who served us was very helpful and friendly, the food was delicious, the only downfall was the tables were left with dirty plates and surroundings but that may have been due to staff shortages but on the whole a lovely meal

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!
_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.
TheForkUserThe staff work very hard & always eager to please. Service is amazing. Food is served hot & delicious. My partner & I enjoy our visits every time. Thank you.
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.
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.
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.
