The best restaurants in Crystal Palace Bromley London

This used to be a great pub but under current management I won’t be going back there. I’ve been going there for nearly 20 years and it makes me sad to see how a great pub has been ruined by pretentiousness. The atmosphere is overambitious with gilded mirrors, the kind of place where no one seems to be laughing. The fact that you can’t go to the bar to fetch a drink is just ridiculous in a small place like this, the table service is unbelievably slow, and all the waiting staff are inexperienced which speaks badly of the management (clearly a lot of turnover if everyone is new). We had to ask twice for our food - and this was just a side order of bread! When it did eventually arrive, the bread was so oily we didn’t want to eat it. The menu is overly pretentious and quite frankly insulting to vegetarians. There are many different style options for meat eaters, but the only main courses for vegetarians are basically sickeningly posh versions of the kind of fare we got 30 years ago: glorified boiled carrots or stuffed peppers. There’s no “proper pub food” option for vegetarians at all. There’s a meat burger, but no veggie version of it. Who goes to a pub to eat posh boiled carrots with their beer? When I pointed this out, the waitress mumbled something inaudible and walked away. Clearly my custom was not appreciated, so my friends and I left. On the plus side, it wasn’t difficult to find a table on a Saturday night, but after this experience I’m not surprised. Thankfully there are many nice pubs with decent food in the area.

Los chicos de Bridge House fueron más allá y luego algunos para ayudarnos a tener el día de la boda de nuestros sueños en junio. La comida increíble, nos permitió hacer lo que quisiéramos con el espacio, y simplemente nos apoyó en cada paso del camino. Mis amigos y yo hemos sido asiduos aquí desde que los actuales propietarios asumieron el cargo en aproximadamente 2007 / 8. No creo que sea exagerado decir que han cambiado la zona para mejor aportando un poco de estilo y glamour a un lugar antiguo. Buena comida, bebida y vibraciones, espíritu comunitario, teatro y un hermoso jardín hacen de este uno de mis verdaderos lugares felices.

Unbelievably rude staff. After waiting at the side of the counter for about ten minutes for a coffee, I went to see what had happened to it. There were two staff members dancing away. With the manager walking by without a care in the world. I asked the poor girl at the till if it was on its way, at which point one of the dancers got really stroppy and made me the coffee. She then made a show of taking it all around back to the other side of the counter in some kind of pathetic attempt at punishing me for daring to disturb her dance practice. The manager was standing by staring at me with a smirk on her face in solidarity with her friend leaving the girl at the counter squirming with embarrassment. Apart from the girl at the counter, the staff are simply ignorant and unpleasant people. I was the only costumer but clearly I was asking way too much of them when I asked for a coffee. Don’t bother with this place, go to the hut next to the stage in the park. They are always lovely there.

Excellent service and food was delicious . Definitely go back again…… extremely tasty pizza. Organic vegetables .
