This is a decent pub, which is more like a restaurant. It’s a good place for family meals as the place is rather large and sprawling with many tables. The menu is quite large and extensive and full of lots of “comfort food.” I’ve been here twice and both times the service has been friendly and the food was very good. Not quite gastro-pub, but certainly better quality than Wetherspoons!

Went here for lunch and a drink for the first time today. On first impressions it feels like a fairly “grown up” pub. The decour is sober but attractive wood panelling, elegant wallpaper and dark colours. There are two different bar areas, one less formal than the other although the food served seem to be the same in both. The average age seemed to be 40s and above though although being younger than that I did not feel uncomfortable. There is a decent selection of food, which I enjoyed, although my partner was a bit disappointed with his salad, which was tiny! Good thing we ordered a side of chips and that my tuna sandwich was huge enough to share. A good place for a quiet drink but nothing really outstanding about this pub, at least not the first time.

Even after moving away from Erith three years ago, when visiting friends I still insist that we get food from Hong Kong Palace as it’s just so good! The portions are plentiful - my favourite is king prawn chop suey which has big, delicious prawns - and the service is usually pretty quick, especially if you go pick it up yourself instead of having it delivered. The barbecue ribs are some of the best I’ve tasted and are very meaty, although you need to make sure to wash your hands straight afterwards as otherwise you’ll end up with orange fingers for a couple of days! This place is good value and a definite recommendation. Apparently they are suffering a bit in the recession, so if you’re looking for a good Chinese take-away, definitely give this place a try and keep them in business!

After trying their fresh fruit juice some months ago and then realising afterwards that they had a nice little restaurant around the corner, I wanted to eventually try this place for a bit to eat, which I did today. Delighted after reading on the menu that they served all day breakfast (my favourite meal of the day), we decided to give it a try. I had the cheese, tomato and red onion omelette with fries and a fresh orange juice. The food was nice enough, though nothing that inspirational. There were a bit too many red onions in my omelette, and were pretty raw (the onions, not the eggs), making me very grateful for the orange juice! Unfortunately, the service was generally a bit slow and grumpy (which I noticed caused another couple to give up and leave) and it just wasn’t a pleasant enough experience for me to want to really try it again.

I agree with what a past reviewer said about this place bringing out the best in people. I hadn’t been here in a number of years until my recent work xmas do, but I remember having fun here a few years ago at various leaving dos, even with people I didn’t know very well. Fast forward to my recent xmas party, which was one of the best ones we’ve had in years. We had a large area roped off for us, complete with very good food and a roulette table with an accompanying croupier, who was friendly and clearly knew how to handle a large crowd.
I think what makes this place work well for large (and small) crowds is the novelty itself of the drinks menu. It’s fun choosing different flavoured vodkas and the cocktails are all delicious. More traditional drinks like beer and wine are also available for the non-vodka drinkers and the bar staff are fast and friendly which means you get served with a smile and also don’t have to wait too long for a round of drinks. This is a really good choice for a party of revelling co-workers.
