The best restaurants in Blackwater and Hawley Hart South East

It's had the same name since at least the eighties!

We had lunch there and ate outside met some nice people

Best fish and chip shop for miles and miles, and very reasonably priced. Very friendly and always kind to my two daughters.

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.

As usual, great food and service from Raz and the team Lamb Garlic Chilli Wala definitely the star of the menu, and I've tried most of them!

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.

Lovely staff, great manager, good food

Exactly what I ordered. Quick as usual

Terrible house rice gave me food poisoning
