Claude Ejiegbu Really impressed with the service! Friendly, attentive, and efficient throughout. The portions were very generous, the food was genuinely good, and overall it was a very pleasant surprise. Great value for money and a lovely experience. Would definitely return and recommend to others.

Michelle C A truly lovely venue! We hosted a combined retirement and birthday party for a colleague here, and it was definitely a night to remember. The staff were friendly, attentive, and catered to all our preferences — from the food to the music. The entertainment was fantastic, and we were even allowed to come in early to decorate the space.

Jenny B This is a creative, welcoming restaurant with a talented chef. I visited Whitstable with two good friends and visiting 39 (or Laurens as I prefer to call it) was one of our highlights. Whitstable is already a place worth celebrating for its pretty scenery, clear blue sea and independent shops, and this place was a hidden gem - though not so hidden as we found it through good Google reviews! We were very kindly welcomed by Fairlie and Roy and enjoyed the cocktails, with Head Chef Laurens Lemon Drop being the winner! The food was a delicious fusion of flavours! We found that five of the small plates shared by three of us was filling enough that we didnt ask for a desert. I would recommend giving 39/Laurens a try for its food, creative gallery feel and friendly ambience and if Roy is there he will happily tell you about the local area so do ask him!

Scrubbing Sisters We have our go to Chinese, we have used them for 7 years running. Whenever there has been a reason to order elsewhere, we have always been disappointed. Trust when I say I’ve probably eaten at every Chinese place in Worthing! Tonight, I wanted a late night fix and seen they were a couple mins drive from me, open and offering everything I loved. Although it tasted completely different to what I’m used to, I put that down to their culture/background (I usually love mandarin styles), this food was absolutely gorgeous. Ordered and ready promptly, reasonably priced, best chips I’ve had from a takeaway for a long time, sharp but fragrant curry sauce to go with. Noodles were smaller than thought for a chow mein but flavour was lovely and perfectly put together.. so much meat. Also ordered a smoked chicken which tasted different to what I’ve had before, but this was so tasty, like a mixture of shredded chilli chicken and smoked chicken in one, bbq flavouring and incredibly moorish!

Lucy Patey Came to the Balmoral on the evening of the 19th January for my birthday with my Mum & Daughter. Within a couple of minutes of arriving I was given a lovely gin selection box & card for my birthday. A really lovely touch I wasn’t expecting. Our waitresses were Charlotte & Rhianna. They both provided impeccable service with nothing being too much trouble. My daughter has a nut allergy and Charlotte promptly cleared her napkin & cutlery giving her new, hand washed cutlery as per the allergy contamination rules. A fab touch I’ve not seen anywhere else. We all enjoyed our meals which were yummy. Charlotte & Rhianna then sung me happy birthday while bringing the puddings. A really lovely evening made perfect by such fabulous service! Please ensure both ladies receive the recognition they deserve! :)

Jennifer Rolls Food was all good, timing wasn’t great but they were short staffed & had some large parties in. Leah and Clare specifically did a wonderful job, they handled the evening so well and we left feeling cared for and more than happy to return. Thank you to the wonderful team for always making our visits special!
