We know, or at least have come to know through his other works, that Tolkien has no difficulty writing descriptive paragraphs. What’s going on here?
Writers are always capable of diversity in their works, even if they don't utilize it. Being that The Hobbit is aimed primarily towards a younger audience and it can still land well with older demographics, there has to be some level of compromise in the writing. There are times where it becomes necessary (if only to himself) that Tolkien writes more thoroughly in the book, such as specific places or things that are key. In cases like this he feels a need to drive the story along much quicker both to his and the audience's benefit. There's even some cases in the book where the narrative shows haste and can't dwell on certain details or events (note towards the end of Barrels Out of Bond).

"You do not let your eyes see nor your ears hear, and that which is outside your daily life is not of account to you. Ah, it is the fault of our science that it wants to explain all; and if it explain not, then it says there is nothing to explain."
