The service is excellent, and the staff will check to make sure your order meets your expectations. There is ample seating in the restaurant, though it does tend to get a bit hectic during the evening's and weekends, though this doesn't affect the service. The only downside is there's no parking available for the restaurant, but there are many places to park and pay nearby, (this doesn't really affect me as a non-driver). The music and lighting in the restaurant is just right for my liking, and you can easily sit with a group of friends and hold a conversation without having to yell at each other.

How i miss this place!! When i lived in Southend this was…read moremine and my sisters must have treat! Once a week we would take the kids and go out for lunch at Frankie and Bennys, the food was always amazing! The burgers were to die for and the kids loved their spaghetti bolagnaise! All their food was reasonably priced to, i think only once we ever had a problem with food in there and they were very quick to sort it out and gave us one of the meals for free without us asking. The staff are always well dressed in uniform, happy, polite and very quick. You never have to wait long for a table and in mid week there is no waiting around at all. They do have music playing in the background but it is at just the right level for you to be able to hold a conversation while eating also. They do occasionally have little events there aswell i remember a couple of years ago they had a free christmas party for children all you paid for was the food and drinks all the entertainment was free and the kids loved it. The restaurant itself was always clean and tidy, you would never have to wait long to have plates cleared away from the tables. On the whole it is good food, reasonably priced, great atmosphere and even the chance to learn a little i think it was Spanish when going to the loos! If you go there make sure you try the potato skins with cheese and bacon with the sour cream dip ~ its gorgeous!!! Highly Recommended!

This place is a hidden gem. I think the whole store is run by women. Even the chef, who occasionally pops out to confirm orders. And did I not say this place is total value for money! It is the best place to have breakfast, lunch or afternoon tea or coffee! There are limited seats inside but there are some outside to compensate for that shortage. I'll very impressed with their service and options they have for vegetarians! Brilliant balance! My only concern is to there could be less clutter if they re-arranged the seats in a more sensible way inside the cafe.

There's a photo if you want to see the brilliance. I don't often find myself in Blackheath. It's pricey, it's posh and a longish walk from home. Greenwich is much more convenient for me. But sometimes, I'm tired and jump in a cab home from Blackheath station (a habit I really should get out of). Tonight I did just that. But I was starving. And the Village Deli was open and perfect. Back to that pie. Oh my goodness the pie. Wonderful wonderful mashed potato, which perfectly crisped under the grill (can you tell I haven't been eating carbs much recently?) Yummy meat and veggies - even a stray broadbean to make me feel especially wholesome. It's one of the best shepherds pies I've EVER eaten. And it was only £3.25. I might move in. Instead, because I had to spend over £6 to use my card (my only gripe and I've already forgiven them), i bought to scotch eggs for my lunch tomorrow. If I wasn't too full of pie, I'd have eaten them too. The rest of the place? Seating area for eating in (the do cakes, tea, coffee etc) and I'm assuming they'd warm any of the goodies on display. Staff were friendly. And they're open until 9. I'm in serious lust with Village Deli.

The decor is quirky and retro without being unnecessarily hipster, and they do cream teas and all sorts of yummies. Quick service, friendly staff, and a really cute (but small and easy to miss) spot for afternoon tea or brunch.

The trimmings for the carvery had clearly been out under the heat lamps for a long time. The stuffing was as dry our as you could possibly imagine and the 2 trays of potatoes were dried out and hard as wood from the length of time out under the heat lamps, once you cracked them open however they were fluffy and tasty inside. They could have been nice when they were first put out (obviously a long time earlier) The veg was ok, the mustard and horseradish were crusted over. A young lady asked us what we wanted for dessert, we said we hadn't seen a dessert menu. She seemed very put out and asked if we wanted to see the menu and gave us a piece of note paper with the desserts written on. When she came back to take our dessert order she swang a chair round from the table next to ours and sat at our table to take our order. We assumed at first that she must be pregnant and need to sit when she could but she didn't appear to be. The desserts (2 ice creams and a brownie) took forever to come but were nice when they arrived. We kept going to the bar to ask for the bill and after 20 mins we all went to the bar on our way out in a final attempt to pay the bill. £170 including 'service charge'!!! The cheek! At no point were we shown a menu detailing the service charge policy or told about it at the billing stage. If the service was good we wouldn't have minded but it was really bad. We wanted to tip the lady with the pink hair that looked after us but NOBODY else deserved a tip but they automatically added a service charge to the bill that we had to ask over and over and over again for so we didn't have a choice. We'll never go there again.

Recently re-opened and under new management, the White Hart is a little…read more gem in the heart of Tudor London, right next door to the Bob Hope Theatre. The new landlords have obviously spent a lot of time and money renovating this landmark pub and have done a cracking job. Both the interior decor and beer garden (and even the washrooms) have been fitted out to a high standard. I was recently staying with family in Eltham (during an Olympic test event at Royal Artillery Barracks just up the road) and we popped in for an afternoon drink, and to escape the rain! We were warmly greeted by Dave the manager who showed us into the lounge area, furnished with leather armchairs and a huge sofa. After looking over both the bar menu and restaurant menu we decided to stay for food and moved into the restaurant side. My 8oz sirloin steak was perfectly cooked and, at just £9.99, easily beats the price and quality of a lot of other 'chain' pubs and Carveries. The cask ales on tap included Bombardier and Greene King, good solid London favourites :o) We came back for more at the weekend and I look forward to visiting again when I return for the Olympics. The White Hart is a fantastic family friendly pub that London can be proud of, we desperately need more like it.
