The Bank Restaurant & Bar

Situated in an old Bank, hence the original title, from the outside it looks very nice. It’s all been kitted out with lovely tables and chairs and the menu looks great. Hurray we thought, another upmarket eatery for dear old Bexleyheath.
The first clue that not all was ideal is their menu. £20 a head!!! Now that’s not exactly OTT but for Bexleyheath you’d be looking for something a little lower, especially before you start adding drinks and extra’s. The second clue was in the level of service.
It was clear fairly early on that although their prices said upmarket, the only thing ‘market’ about it was where the owners usually did their trading. Service was generally pretty poor and the quality of the food did not meet what you’d expect from the price.
Having dug into things a little more after wards and asked around a few contacts we have, the impression I get is that the owners are more into this for the quick buck than for a love of fine dining.
Not somewhere I would recommend. That said, if they can invest in the basics a little more it could be a lovely place to go. «Could try harder» as they used to tell you at school.
