We visited here for the 4th time in 6 months of living in Gravesend, looking to have a nice romantic evening and good food to celebrate 8 years together, we ended up dealing with an extremely rude arrogant owner who is in denial!The food standards have dropped since our last visit, however, the prices have not!Here are a few suggestions to help you in recovering what appears to be a hotel/restaurant in need of some help before you close down:*Update your menu or at least offer a selection of specials every now and then (guests would be more obliged to return more often).*Take your guests to the table before their food is ready so they can enjoy the bread roll before eating starters.*Offer pr...
Be afraid be very afraid.Bloomers has clearly had a change of direction. Having eaten here three times previously the standards have fallen suddenly.From quality food and wines to cheap unbranded frozen poor service.Clearly filling the hotel with builders and offering pie and chips to make end meet is more important than quality. Rarely have a felt the need to complain about food or service but the owners attitude was a joke both rude and oblivious to his pathetic new standards this guy is living in the eighties and needs Gordon Ramsay to kick him up the before his business flushes down the toilet.I have spent well over £1000 in this restaurant in 4 visits in a few months according to the ow...
We invited 30 guests to celebrate our 40th Anniversary at this restaurant. The food was outstanding, all dishes were delicious and served hot. The kitchen and wait staff, led by Benita, ensured everything went smoothly. Our family and friends had a great time and enjoyed the fantastic meal. The bar staff were also excellent and went above and beyond to accommodate us. The pianist added a nice touch to the evening. After dinner, we had a singer perform who helped us end the day on a high note. I highly recommend this venue, the staff are kind and attentive, ensuring everyone has a wonderful experience. Thank you to Benita and the amazing team for making our special day even more memorable.
My last visit to Bloomers was some 30yrs ago and I was pleased to see that it has kept up its quality and feeling of being 'that special venue ' when I returned recently.The food was excelent and the venue something to mark in your list of great options.If I could offer a couple of potential spoilers though, an old derelict looking truck parked in the car park tends to blemish the shine of that 'special evening ', as does the pot holes in the gravel, especially when they are full of water and the depth is unknown when your special lady is trying to get to the entrance.Other than than that, this is a serious contender for the venue of the borough.

We reserved the downstairs bar and conservatory for a funeral reception and Thomas and Melissa went above and beyond to make it a special event. They provided us with a continuous flow of hot drinks and a fantastic buffet that was constantly topped up. Thanks to their assistance, we were able to gather in a peaceful setting to reminisce about fond memories and honor the life of our beloved departed family member.
Have not been to Bloomers for 30 years, no particular reason, just forgot it existed. The staff were attentive and friendly., without being in your face. We were pleasantly surprised by the venue and the quality of food. My only gripe would be the car park, having a old white van and a pick up truck does not look good to customers.
This is my favourite restaurant in Gravesend. The conservatory is lit is sparkly lights and is very romantic. Starched white table cloths and properly served dinner. You arrive to a pianist in the bar. The chef is excellent as the food is delicious. Well worth a visit although may regret this as it can be hard to get a table!
was our family favourite for years but this year is a realisation that money needed to be spent and quick its menu although dated is still high standard but surroundings are so 1970s its not right any more hope it comes back
