Thyme in Bromley

No he cenado aquí, pero el desayuno tiene una excelente relación calidad-precio, incluso mejor si tienes niños contigo. Dos niños comen gratis por adulto desayuno completo. Definitivamente iría allí si tienes hambre, ya que es todo lo que puedes comer buffet.

Como nos alojamos en el Premier Inn contiguo para nuestra noche de 1 calle, pensamos en probar aquí y nos sorprendió lo buena que era la comida. Estaba vacío, lo que no es una buena señal, pero una vez que habíamos pedido ambos estábamos muy contentos con la calidad de la comida. Solo 1 negativo fue que John, que trabaja en la recepción del hotel, también tuvo que tomar pedidos y bebidas, y una vez más personas vinieron a buscar comida con la que estaba luchando. Rosie, que hace la cocina, también estaba teniendo problemas, pero lo que vimos hizo un excelente trabajo. Vale la pena una comida aquí ya que la comida es muy buena, pero estos 2 necesitan ayuda. Ambos son un crédito a su ética de trabajo.

The restaurant is situated on the ground floor of the Premier Inn, which has its own review page, in the Walnuts Centre, off the High Street and is open to the general public. Dinner Service starts at 18:00 and I had previously booked a table at that time. When I arrived (by 5 minutes past), there were a few customers already seated, but none appeared to have ordered food yet. The menu mentioned a meal deal (as in all Thyme restaurants), which included a starter, main course, drink and breakfast for the following morning at a price of £24,99. I chose Surf and Turf for a main and was a little surprised to be told that, as it included a steak, there was a supplement of £2. When I queried that there was nothing on the menu stating this, the young waitress, said she did not know why that was, but it came up on the bill when she input the details into their system, and that it was set by "Head Office". She appeared to be the only one on duty at the time, and very busy seeing to everything - taking orders, serving drinks and meals, clearing away dishes and glasses, until later, and, in the absence of anyone else being available, I let the matter go. I realised how busy she was when the chef brought my main course rom the kitchen to the table, presumably before it spoilt by standing under lamps for too long ! The following morning I spoke to the Duty Manager who refunded the £2 surcharged. although wasn't the point, really. She said she was already taking the matter up with Head Office, even though I had been the first person to query it. (How many customers never noticed the over charge ?) I decided to add a desert, fr an extra £2, but t only wanted a light one, and asked for the "mini pud and Costa coffee" shown on the menu as 'new', only to be told they didn't have any, even though I was the first person that evening to order a desert. Apparently, Head Office had not delivered any and I was subsequently told that previously happened with other items on the menu. There's nothing the kitchen do to satisfy orders from the menu under those circumstances and most disappointing, but not a problem caused by the restaurant staff ! Now, I have to say that the food served was good and most enjoyable !!! Breakfast the following morning was standard Premier Inn breakfast, although eggs were being cooked to order rather than available from the self-service buffet, with the other hot food.

The restaurant is situated on the ground floor of the Premier Inn, but is open to the general public, as it is on one of the pathways into The Walnuts Shopping Centre. Dinner: Service starts at 18:00 and the evening I was there, no one else entered until just before 19:00, so, despite being Friday evening, they weren't too busy ! I chose their meal deal at £24.99 (2 courses, drink and breakfast) but added a desert for £2. I had the potted crab starter followed by sea bass en papillote, both well presented, with the latter well cooked and hot. When I came to pay by card, strangely, I was told they couldn't accept a tip on a card, so they didn't get one, as I didn't have any cash with me. That was a pity as the meal and service was excellent. Breakfast: Starts at 06:30 on weekdays and 07:00 at weekends. I arrived about 10 minutes after opening and the restaurant was already very busy. As with other Premier Inn breakfasts, there was the usual array of food and drink, with cooked meals from a buffet, although eggs seemed to cooked to order.
