Spring River - Swanscombe

Food is good for price and staff attentive . Shame they think its OK to have people sitting under a large TV so they bang their head on it , shame the TV is on so people sitting other side of the table get the glare from it . Trying to cram as many seats as possible I guess. We did ask if the TV could be turned off , but never happened Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4

Good location. Plenty of car parking. Warm welcome by staff. The restaurant was cosy which was good as it was very cold and bleak outside. Meal was terrific and our waitress, Debs, was excellent. Parking: Parking right outside restaurant. Price per person: £20–30 Food: 5

Oh dear! This place seems unable to deal with a sizable group booking. There's an issue with a shortage of staff. Waiting times were long as there was only one waitress delivering food and another serving drinks. The carvery option had three types of meat, the beef was good but regular portions could have been more generous. The accompanying vegetables were of the usual variety of leathery roast potatoes and bland frozen veg. It was hard to enjoy a meal here, if you can afford to go somewhere better, that would be advisable.

Felt sorry for the staff, didn't seem to be enough, but worked hard. Parking: Very easy parking Price per person: £10–20 Food: 4 Service: 4
