Bloomers - Gravesham

Haven't eaten here for a couple of years and don't know why! Lovely setting, great staff and excellent meal. Also they catered very well for my wifes intolerances. We won't leave it so long till the next visit!

A huge thank you to Trevor and Benita who made sure my parents Golden Wedding celebration at Bloomers was a memorable success, they are fabulous hosts, nothing is too much trouble and the restaurant offers a relaxed fairy light and candle lit atmosphere whilst enjoying a wonderful meal. Children were welcome and every one was made to feel very welcome, the family thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Bloomers is a delightful place to visit and we will be back soon.

Having had a stressful few months we decided to treat ourselves to a good evening out in a proper restaurant. We were not disappointed with our choice of Bloomers. The list of starters was so tempting it was hard to choose and the main course and wine selection made the whole evening just what we needed. We had a choice of table and we chose the candlelit conservatory area, the setting was almost like being on holiday. Staff were attentive but not in the way. We have booked again for our anniversary in 3 weeks, can't wait.

Most of food is good but fillet steak was tough as old boots but when it was drawn to their attention the complaint was dismissed as supposibily the chef could cut it with a knife so it was ok. No offer of replacement or reduction in bill or even a drink on the house, very poor customer service no wonder it was empty on a Saturday evening in December.

The food was lovely, the waitress was excellent but... we were the only people there. The decor and the look of the place was firmly stuck in the 1980's, it had the look of your granny's front room. It wouldn't take much to bring it up to date, get rid of the terrible artwork, the drapes and maybe the artex. It was Christmas, there was no tree or decorations. Also the menu needs bringing up to date, when we asked for vegetarian options we were offered an omlette although they did come up with something lovely in the end. If it doesn't update I can't see it lasting much longer as I imagine their core customer base is dying off. Sorry to be so negative, as we really enjoyed the food and the service.
