The 30 Best Dining experiences in Dartford

“Great craft ciders and beers, so much more enjoyable drinks than the standard pub tap options. The staff are so friendly and always happy to serve you. Best pub in Dartford!”

“We had a wonderful experience at this restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious: every dish was full of flavour and beautifully presented. Our server, Gail was incredibly kind and attentive, making us feel truly welcome from start to finish. What made the evening even more special was the thoughtful surprise: they went out of their way to prepare on our lovely dessert, a special anniversary decoration. It meant so much to us and made the celebration unforgettable. Highly recommend for both the food and the exceptional service!”

“Best Indian food in the SE London. I've been ordering form this place for over 9 years now. It is so good, i drive 40 min to collect it as no longer living in the area. They are really generous with spices and everything is delicious. Chicken Tikka Madras, Paneer Tikka and all the veg side dishes... not forgetting the Peshawar naans. My mouth is watering even just writing this.”

“Great pub, good selection of drinks, great service and atmosphere.”

“The food here is fabulous! I'm a great lover of South Indian and Sri Lankan food and it's outstanding here. The staff are lovely too. I come here whenever I can.”

Also a shout out to his helper elf she was a lovely lady and took loads of pictures for us to capture the memory.. as always a lovely meal and servers were great especially with the rush!”

“Really nice weekend away here. The rooms are nice and spacious. Location is really nice, about 10-15 mins drive to bluewater shopping center & lakeside shopping center - so plenty to do for couples/family. The swimming pool/jacuzzi and sauna was really nice, we enjoyed going down for a swim when it wasn't too busy. We did go on a weekend so it was quite busy at times. Room service & bar was nice. Overall the room loses one star personally because the lighting was a bit dark and the bed quite firm. Everything else was perfect during our stay.”

“Our experience at Mercure Dartford Brands Hatch Hotel and Spa was amazing! Our room was of their new ones which was beautifully made, it had all the essentials you would require for your stay, and our beds were very comfortable. My husband, daughter and I had booked in for the Ishga massages at their spa and the masseurs were truly skilled. My masseur, Joy, was great and asked what type of pressure I liked and she was very talented. I was completely relaxed and refreshed at the end of it. My family gave me good feedback about the other 2 girls as well, I'm sorry I don't remember your names, I wanted to say thank you! Will definitely be back!”

“Very good pizza, ordered a couple of times and it hasn't failed. Staff are polite delivery can take abit longer on weekends but that's understandable. Would definitely continue to ordered”

“Value for money, have stayed twice in recent months as a stop en route Eurotunnel and will stay again. Rooms appear recently redecorated/carpeted. Comfortable bed. Strong shower and decent towels. Friendly welcome at reception. Dog friendly. Easy 10-15 minutes walk to the Wharf, good bar/restaurant.”

“We have used the cafe today to shelter from the rain with a group of students from a local send school. Really accommodating and allowed us to stay for as long as we needed to. The food was lovely. Thank you! We will be back :-)”

“It's a really nice hotel/restaurant. The rooms are very neat and comfortable and the environment is Serene. A must visit.”

“Outstanding food and service. Excellent hot, tasty food, served quick and in a friendly manner. I will certainly call here when next in business in Dartford. Highly recommend, 10/10.”

“Food was Amazing!!! Portion Sizes were great for the price and the staff was very kind and the atmosphere was very welcoming.”

“Happy to make changes like putting some meat separate and some in a pitta which is really useful, when they are flexible about how the food is given to you and they aren't precious about a set menu. Only thing I'd point out to them is to make sure to use a set of tongs to turn the raw chicken skewers over, and once this is cooked on the outside, move to a different part of the grill and finish it off, by using another pair of tongs. You'd avoid any chance of cross contamination this way. Same goes for the pittas and wraps being warmed up - use another clean pair of tongs to avoid customers having second thoughts about their stomachs getting through the night ok..”

“I’ve come here once before and I loved it, Came back after a long while and now I love it even more! The servers are really nice and our waiter Ja was even humorous^^, however the food and the vibes AMAZING!!! I don’t go out often but whenever I do i’ll always thing of this restaurant first :]”

“Superb, chips perfect, mums chicken pieces amazing, will defo be back”

“The owner is an absolute gentleman, the most immaculate customer service I have ever had. Tried their chicken burger and their lamb donner and it was the best I've tasted locally. Definitely a different and mouthwatering flavour experience. Will definitely be a returning customer.”

“Great takeaway! Pork belly cooked to perfection, with a choice of fresh, crusty rolls. Jovial staff and a genuinely great atmosphere.”

“I had breakfast here on a busy Saturday. I asked to sit in for a couple of hours whilst my wife, daughter and her friends shopped as a birthday treat. The manager (Nadine) found me a quiet table in the corner with a nearby power supply as I mentioned I wanted to do some work. They genuinely couldn’t have been any more helpful and I didn’t feel any pressure to vacate the table at any point. All the staff (including Abbie & Rahmi) who looked after me were great, can’t thank them enough.”

“Good selection of Food and Drinks, Super Clean & Efficient. Staff are wonderful too! Must tries: Dirty Casear Salad, Feelin Greek Salad and Smoothies.”

“We have been using Global Office Supplies for nearly 2 years. I have always spoken with Gemma and she is so friendly & helpful..nothing is ever too much for her. She is not pushy like some other stationary companies I have come across. She makes sure we get the best prices & we always get our delivery nice & fast! Would definitely recommend!”

“We went to the restaurant and We order pizza and it is super cheesy, yummy bolognese and wine.”

“We had a fantastic experience at PizzaExpress thanks to Megan! She was incredibly helpful, friendly, and polite throughout our visit. Megan took the time to clearly explain the menu and walk us through the bill, which made everything easy and stress-free. Her customer service really stood out and made our meal even more enjoyable. A real credit to the team — thank you, Megan!”

“A hidden gem! The food was bursting with fresh, vibrant flavours and beautifully presented. What really stood out was the staff — incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. It didn’t feel like dining out, it felt like visiting friends.”

“Easily the best fish and chips in the area, fish is made fresh to order and value for money”

“We ordered a takeaway roast at the weekend and it was the best decision we've made! Lol. It was absolutely fabulous and one of the best roasts I've had in a long time. We were so grateful to be able to take it away and enjoy it whilst our toddler was napping. The member of staff we spoke to on the phone was so kind and helpful. We collected our roast with no problems and just about had a big enough plate to put it on as the portion size was fantastic. The whole roast was spot on - lovely turkey/beef, tasty veg and cauliflower cheese. Thank you so much. We'll definitely be ordering again and happy new year! It was so good I nearly cried hahaha.”
