We recently held my husband's wake here. The staff couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. The buffet food was lovely. Thank you for making this difficult occasion easier to organise.

We visited this dental practice after my son chipped his front tooth in a fall at school. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed by a friendly and calm receptionist who made us feel at ease. Our appointment started right on time, and we were greeted by the wonderful Dr. Maddy. She was amazing with my son, helping him feel comfortable and relaxed during the exam. She explained the treatment plan thoroughly and answered all our questions, making us feel fully supported. My son was genuinely happy to meet Dr. Maddy and her efficient team. I highly recommend this practice – they’re incredibly helpful, kind, and professional.

Wow I'm so impressed with the lovely dentist and her nurse. I needed a tooth extraction at the back and they did it there and then, no questions asked, they were so supportive and gentle with me as I'm super nervous of the dentist and also very needle phobic! All of the equipment is very modern and new, and the whole place is spotless. I've honestly never felt so comfortable and looked after by a dentist before and I actually look forward to going back which is a first!

The staff at Kentish Smiles Clinic are amazing. They made our appointments feel so friendly and calm, my kids were abit apprehensive at the beginning of the appointment; but the staff made the appointment so fun and joyful, in the end my kids wanted to stay. I will most definitely be recommending this dentist. Thank you again.

Very friendly and non judgmental staff, receptionist very happy to help register my daughter and book her first dental appointment (9 months old) treated us so well and as individuals with plenty of advice for the babies teeth that are coming through thick and fast. All staff were very accommodating and made us feel at ease and comfortable. Left feeling very positive and confident in coming back for further appointments in the future. Great first time experience for the baby, no pressure nor forceful.

Today we came for breakfast and we were totally satisfied with everything, especially the food. The food is delicious and highly recommended, nothing is very sweet but not very salty either, so I could say that it is perfectly to taste or well, at least in my personal opinion. The staff is very nice and the decorations are very pretty and feel very Spanish. In my personal opinion I really recommend it.

What an absolute gem. We sat outside on the terrace on a sunny Saturday lunchtime, Spanish music playing in the background and immediately felt transported to Spain. We opted for the tapas which was wonderful. The sangria was also wonderful too. Glad I stumbled upon this lovely restaurant and am looking forward to returning and tasting more of the lovely dishes on their menu.

Here’s your 5-star review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Such a lovely place! I really enjoyed being at Cadiz tonight. I've been to many Spanish restaurants, but none have left a lasting impression like this one. The welcoming atmosphere, the excellent service from the staff, and the amazing food and cocktails were all absolutely terrific. This restaurant has quickly become my favorite, and I can’t wait to return!

I am a Chilean citizen and I reside in Houston, Texas, USA. This place is absolutely amazing! It’s a gem in London! Spanish cuisine in the middle of London! From the decoration, the taste of the food, the drink presentation, to the vibe! Completely mesmerized! I highly recommend this gem!

It's a treat when visiting family to have an English breakfast at this great little place. The service is brilliant and they even cater for fussy old sods who like a fried egg cooked a certain way. I always look forward to a breakfast here, highly recommended.

If you’re looking for a proper cafe that sells proper cafe food then this is the place to go! Food made fresh so its piping hot when it comes out, can see why the locals where in and out with that close community feeling. Fry up was lovely and would definitely recommend giving the milkshakes a go! The place was spotless even with it being so busy. Overall will definitely be going back and would recommend!

Very busy, upon arriving was greeted with a smile and didn't wait long for a table. Our server was Gurjeet, she was attentive, polite and friendly. Food was great, wife had the gluten free pancakes though, she didn't enjoy them as much as she normally would, tasted abit like suet. I enjoyed mine though! Did get offered more maple but arrived as we'd already finished eating. Would definitely return to try other items on the menu though, looks fantastic.

In addition to installing 8 new down-lights in my bathroom, Greenhithe Electrical also completed a full survey of my electrical system, in preparation of updating the existing fuse box. The before and after service and work carried out was excellent and I would not hesitate to recommend this company. Since completing the above work, the company has completely rewired my kitchen, installed new downlights, sockets, light switches, an outside light and outside double electric socket. They also hard wired a new oven and electric hob and installed LED lights in my kitchen units and plinth. As before, I couldn't rate this company more highly. Thank you Alfie and your fitters.

Alfie and his team installed all outdoor electrical for a garden project including electric garage gates, security lighting, path lights, ambient garden lighting and feature lights for trees. He is an excellent communicator who takes pride in delivering the best service and advice if required. His staff were polite and hardworking. No hesitation in recommending for any electrical project .

Really appreciate the quick response and work! Very happy customer, thanks again Alfie!!!

We met with a large group of friends with numerous children in the garden on a Saturday afternoon and the bar staff were brilliant all day and well into the evening. From the huge masses of bar food that was ordered, that all arrived swiftly and was lovely!! To the constant clearing of plates and empty glasses by every one of the members of staff!!! Made our day even more enjoyable. Will be back for sure, if you'll have us all again!!

I stayed in Dartford for a course and went to The Plough a number of times over the Christmas period. 5 stars is not enough. Great bunch of people, loads of space, brilliant food, great service and parking! Family vibe, comfy seats and the restaurant is separate from the bar so you can choose to be in the hassle for a good pub bar or in the quiet restaurant for quite drinks or a meal. I can't recommend more! Thanks to all the staff for being so welcoming!

EXCELLENT FOOD AND SERVICE HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much to the grey haired waiter who has the most incredible customer service skills and was so polite and friendly, simply excellent. You made our afternoon so pleasant with your hospitality skills and manners and the fuss you made of us despite it being busy in the restaurant. Even when I had such a fussy friend when he eats out you were so accommodating. Been to many restaurants in my lifetime hundreds if not thousands but this waiter in Cote Bluewater is out of a top fine hotel. The only other place I saw such high polite and warm hospitality skills was in Beverly Hills, California. As for the Italian Manager , you are so polite and incredible with a HEART OF GOLD. The running of the restaurant is what it is because of you my dear and thank you for being you. Your both truly special. The food was truly incredible and mouth watering. The soup, sea bass and cheeseboard out of this world. Even the butter and bread so tasty and everything that was served so well presented. We will be back but returning hopefully next week. I also researched to find out this restaurant is not Jewish owned so If like me you are currently boycotting Jewish and Israeli businesses due to the genocide , this restaurant is not on the boycott list. THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR FOOD AND SERVICE !!!!! ❤️

Lovely atmosphere and staff were good. Prices were a bit expensive and frustrating that for dry chicken you are expected to pay £3 extra for sauce. Toilets were a little disappointing and needed a lot of TLC. Staff were so friendly and overall a good meal.

Our dining experience at Côte Bluewater was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we stepped in, we were warmly greeted by the attentive staff, especially our waitress, Ida, whose knowledge and guidance in selecting our dishes were invaluable. Her expert descriptions truly enhanced our culinary journey. The presentation of each dish was a work of art, meticulously crafted to please both the eyes and the palate. Each plate that graced our table was a testament to the chef's dedication to perfection. From the appetizers to the desserts, every bite was a delightful symphony of flavors. Not only was the food exquisite in taste, but the ambiance of the restaurant also added to the overall charm of the evening. The elegant decor and soothing atmosphere provided the perfect backdrop for a memorable dining experience. In conclusion, I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone seeking an extraordinary culinary adventure. With impeccable service, delectable cuisine, and a welcoming atmosphere, it's no wonder this establishment stands out as a pinnacle of fine dining excellence.

I have many food allergies, and it is usually not easy to choose a suitable dish from the menu. The waitress was very kind and explained everything clearly, helping me with my selection. She worked with the chef to adjust the ingredients specifically for me and was always happy to assist. My father and I were very pleased and decided to come back again even after we ordered drinks and food. It was an excellent experience!

Had a lovely meal at Côte in Bluewater. The beef steak was cooked perfectly, tender and full of flavour. My child really enjoyed the burger from the kids' menu – it was just the right size and really tasty. The garlic bread was a great start to the meal, crispy and full of garlic goodness. To top it all off, the dessert was amazing and felt really special – the perfect end to the meal. The mojito was refreshing and well-balanced. The service was excellent – our server she was polite, professional, and attentive throughout. I really recommend this place; it’s a must-visit!

The Sunday roast was outstanding! The turkey was perfectly cooked—juicy, tender, and bursting with flavor. Portions were generous, with heaps of crispy roast potatoes, fresh vegetables, and fluffy Yorkshire puddings, all served piping hot. The rich, savory gravy tied everything together beautifully. A true turkey treat and an absolute must-try for roast lovers!
