"I honestly expected amazing things when I ordered a custom cake for my boyfriend for his 23rd birthday. After seeing the amazing cakes they produce I put in an order, sending reference photos and description of how I wanted the cake but collected it today feeling like my cake was missing that amazing appearance I've seen from their others. I requested a cake covered in brick wall, only 1/3 of the cake has that on and the rest is just plain white buttercream, I also requested an amazing and colourful graffiti piece (shown in reference photo sent to them) to go on the cake! This was not portrayed at all... the graffiti is a small paper looking design, different colours than in the reference and completely different style/font, unfortunately nothing similar to the photo shown from me and this was honestly so disappointing. I paid £45 for a cake I was so excited to collect and gift to my boyfriend, only to leave feeling slightly ripped off and sad. I would've appreciated it more for them to tell me if they couldn't do the design I wanted and then I would've not ordered."

"My wife and I were visiting her Mom in Gravesend from the U.S., which we do at least once a year. We 've had many meals at many restaurants in the area. This was my favorite. I wasn 't overly excited by the word seafood in the name, but five of us each had something different and each of us raved about our choice. We had swordfish, sea bass, ravioli in salmon cream sauce, homemade pasta with veggies and traditional beef Bolognese. The chef and his wife, Josephine, own the restaurant. He does the cooking and she is the waitress. They could not have been nicer not more welcoming. My in-laws plan to go back this week. My wife and I will look forward to returning to The Boys on our next visit."

"On the day that government extended the tier 4 areas across the country, I collected dinner from Desi only to find that all the 3 employees inside Desi had no protection whatsoever. Not even bad placed mask on the chin as many people use, not a single mask at sight. Every other take away that I have used in the last week had employees with masks as mandatory for every open business. Being a restaurant with a open door on a tier 4 area I expected much more from Desi."

"Great little diner, my food was great, my husband said his burger could have done with more seasoning but other than that great, prices are okay only thing is it seems a little rundown and the floor looked quite dirty (not sure if this was just the aesthetic or just not clean), i was also a little dissapointed as when i checked online before i came (i always check menues as i have food intolerances) and had previously chose what i would have and when i arrived they informed me that this menj was only available at certain times so what i origionally wanted wasnt available, I would reccomend the breakfast I ordered though which came with the tater tots,"

"Haven't been to a wimpy in years. As this one is in the shopping centre the cold blasts from doors open didn't happen. Order taken fairly swiftly. All the cutlery placed carefully in the middle?? Ice in a drink we'd asked not to have. And the last meal arrived at the table well after the others, we were beginning to think it wasn't coming, with a query as to whose it was. Duh! Obviously the person not yet eating. No extra sauces offered so had to catch waiting staff attention. Food was quite nice with the exception of overcooked fish fingers."
