What was formerly an English restaurant was gutted out and turned into a the world's smallest wine bar much to the confusion of everybody in the area but, if you build it, they will come. They have draught beers, wines and cocktails and it's never overly noisy, though it does have a buzz when it gets busy. They have some tables outside for the smokers or for some good summer drinking. They also have food but its draw is the plush surroundings and the good drinks.

Arrived in good time for our reservation but the car park (allegedly 96 spaces) was absolutely full…read more- not entirely sure how, considering how few tables the restaurant itself holds. Strike one. We were seated more-or-less immediately and the polite hostess took our coats but then we had to wait quite a few minutes before the waiter arrived to take our drinks order. Waiting to be served became the main theme of the evening. The restaurant looks very cosy from outside but inside, the decoration is rather uninspiring and the space generally uninteresting. Some of the features bordered on gaudy. The menu was perhaps a little too sophisticated for my tastes and I was disappointed with the juxtaposition of flavours in my starter. In my opinion, there were far too many choices of starter each of which possessed long, pretentious descriptions (although the waiter was helpful in deciphering these). My wife's starter was also a case of style over substance. It looked like it was trying to be nouveau cuisine except done by a sixth-former. I chose the steak for main course and, after a long wait, it arrived, on its own, on an otherwise empty plate, with not so much as a drizzle of jus or a sprig of parsley on it. The chips and béarnaise sauce (served cold) were included and came on the side but this was a real failure of presentation. The flame-grilled steak, however, was absolutely delicious, as it should be. Getting the waiter's attention was a chore. He appeared to deliberately avert his gaze as he passed our table. In the end I was forced to call out rudely. The restaurant might have sold us two or three additional rounds of drinks were they more attentive and obliging. The deserts were okay, but I've had better at Paul's Bakery, and my wife's chocolate mousse was a little mealy. I might have enjoyed them more were I not already rankled by the poor service. The bill was expensive but that wasn't wholly unexpected. The waiter didn't bother to ask whether or not we wanted to pay the "optional" service charge and simply typed the full total into the card machine. All in all, a very disappointing experience made worse by the inattentive waiter. We were there for a full two hours without even having coffee.

I visit Chapter one restaurant at least once a year with my family and they love this place. This…read morealso happens to be my parents favourite place when they are entertaining guests. The menu for this place is pretty modern european, and it really does live up to it's fancy schmancyness with some dishes serving FOAM. (Don't get me started on that, I dislike foam alot.) But the food is seasonal and the menu's change quite often which means that every time i go back, i can always try something new and I love trying new dishes! However, I do have to say that the last time i went, I sampled the pork chop which seemed to be on the fatty and the oily side which is a shame. The best dish I've had from them was from a previous time where they served the most amazing beef with pakchoy. Desserts are wonderful. I highly recommend paying the supplement and ordering the 'assiete of desserts' which is literally a plate of every single dessert they have in their restaurant in bite sized portions. They also provide petit fours and chocolate for afters which they will wrap up for you to take home if unfinished. Back onto the menu, a word of warning, if you're the type who cannot abide to see deers and rabbits being eaten, it's not the best place to be. The service is attentive and I've never left feeling unsatisfied with the customer service (minus the part when i ordered a salad with the foam sauce, but that was my fault for ordering...) I highly recommend this to those who enjoy fine dining and pretty looking plates and trying new flavours.

This is a new addition to Station Road in Sidcup, and from what I have heard from locals it has…read morebeen packed with punters since day one of opening! Although there are several pubs in the area, this end of Sidcup lacks a casual bar where one can meet a friend for a pint or glass of wine in a relaxed atmosphere. The Hackney Carriage has an industrial feel with exposed pipes and light fixings. The wall above the window and door is covered in beer mats and the interior walls are fixed with various beer and ale pump signs which is interesting to look at! There is a great selection of beer and cider in caskets and boxes and only one or two on tap from what I remember. There is also a selection of wine and spirits but the emphasis is on the beer and cider lover! At only £2 per half-pint and £4 per pint, this place serves a great opportunity to try some new beers!

The pub was really busy... we had trouble getting in through the entrance as there were a lot of people having Christmas drinky poos. I was worried that we wouldn't be able to get a table, but they had a couple, so we lucked out! The menu is seasonal, so what we had may not be on there, but I certainly hope they consider offering the dish I had again. I ordered the seabass with mussels and prawns with a white wine sauce and couscous. Mr. Snarky had one of their specials, the Lamb and Carrot pie. It was quite loud in the place, but it definitely feels cozy... like a place only the locals go to! My dish was really lovely, although the only complaint was that the lovely sauce was only around the side of the plate, so some of the mussels had it, but the fish could have used some of the sauce. The sauce was beautiful! And Mr. Snarky's only complaint was that the pie wasn't a full pie... it was a ramekin of filling with pastry on top. Forget the campaign for real ale, we need the campaign for real pie! We did indulge in dessert... and we were so predictable. Me with the Sticky Toffee Pudding with ice cream and Mr. Snarky with the cheesecake. Although he did ask if the crumble came with custard and because it did not, he chose the cheesecake. You can't have crumble without custard! Anyway, the whole dinner was really lovely and I think we agreed we would be happy to come back again.
