The best restaurants in Blackwater and Hawley Hart South East

Monster munch with good beer and company.

It had just opened everywhere was clean and tidy. Friendly girl serving. Been there loads of times now. Always good.

Still the best fish and chip shop in Blackwater - been the best for 20 years at least, and probably for 25 before that! Still only takes cash

Fairly average fish and chip shop - I’ve had worse but I’ve definitely had better. The chips weren’t very well cooked quite long enough being a bit soggy with no crispness, and the cod had quite a thick batter that was a bit stodgy on the inside; both were quite greasy. The fish itself tasted ok, but completely disintegrated as soon as a knife and fork touched it. The fish was already cooked when I came into the shop but I was assured it was recently cooked (they would say that wouldn’t they?) Cod, small chips and mushy peas cost £10.50. The portion sizes were generous. The food was placed in a plastic bag rather than a paper one which is never a good sign, and would have made it go even soggier if I didn’t remove it as soon as I got to the car. Ok if you’re local and don’t want too drive far but I certainly wouldn’t go out of my way to get food from here when there are several better options such as Skippers not far away.

We ordered a delivery from here this evening and our food was absolutely amazing. We ordered chicken dopiaza, King prawn curry, Lamb Naga, egg fried rice, poppadoms, garlic naan. Food comes highly recommended. We will definitely be ordering from here again. Because it was my birthday, they gave us complimentary onion bhajis.

I placed an order at 23:15 ( close time is 00:00) I waited and waited for any info to come through about my order on the website I could see my order was there and money has been taken. It’s then 23:55 so I call just to check when it will be here as it’s been some time since I placed my order and I selected the delivery time of ASAP. I had no answer to the call I then waited more and called 3/4 times all the way up to 00:20 and still no communication nor did I receive the food (as to the time of review) honestly couldn’t think of a worse place to order from, I read reviews and was sceptical but took the gamble and I can say I well and truly lost the gamble. Will simple never use again and will make sure I spread to others not too.

I'd been with my partner a couple times before; July '21 for dinner and Feb '23 for a roast which had both been very enjoyable, both with atmosphere and food and so chose it as the restaurant for my birthday meal with family this year. Now, I'm not sure if it's changed hands in that time but unfortunately, we were really disappointed this time round. The veg was hard, totally under-cooked and the Yorkshire puddings were rock hard and chewy, seemingly microwaved rather than fresh. This means we will definitely NOT be returning for a roast, but also consider eating elsewhere generally.

Amazing service from staff all extremely polite and kind. Good tasted amazing and was very quick coming out .

food was great, donar wrap was very full (which I like), could've had a little more salad instead of some of the meat tho. only downside was my chips were forgotten but after a call they sent new ones that arrived quickly.

I ordered the crispy duck, it was very crispy indeed not a lot of meat due to the large bones, quite dissatisfied
