“We went here for pre-drinks before going to the theatre and the staff were friendly and welcoming. The food was lovely and excellent 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.”

“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.”

“I took my children for breakfast with Santa today and I must say he was absolutely brilliant! He was so enthusiastic and the interaction was lovely even with the large amounts of children that come in he made time for everyone tivmake sure everyone had a great time, must be the best Santa we’ve seen so far my kids loved it! 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!”

“Staff are really nice and really nice place overall”

“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.”

“My favourite Haddock in Dartford. Food is always fresh and piping hot when ordered for eat in. Good quality food and also very friendly staff”

“Had a lovely experience. Fresh produce available. Staff was really helpful in finding what I needed.”

“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!”

“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 :-)”

“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”

“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 :]”

“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.”

“Great meat and great staff. Meat is always top quality. Unlike supemarkets they will actually cut meat the way you want it and you can buy the weight you want. They also provide some of the more old fashioned cuts. Pies are lovely too!”

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

“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 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.”

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

“Visited late afternoon on Saturday the 8th of March having rung ahead to check availability.

“I had the pleasure of trying the tortilla , and it truly exceeded my expectations! The tortilla was cooked to perfection — tender and fluffy with an ideal balance of flavors. The filling was fresh and flavorful, with just the right blend of ingredients that complemented each other beautifully. The presentation was inviting, and the portion size was generous, making it very satisfying. Beyond the food, the staff were welcoming and attentive, creating a warm and enjoyable dining atmosphere. If you’re a fan of authentic and delicious tortillas, I highly recommend visiting”

“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.”

“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”

“Well cooked food of a good variety. Excellent service the waitresses always have a smile on their faces”

“A fantastic little pub in the idyllic village of Eynsford. A smallish outdoor area to the right as you approach and a large area to the rear. Inside the pub is split in two along the lines of what I would think would have been the bar and the lounge. The guvnor was wonderful but took his beers very seriously- kept constant eye contact when he asked what we thought of his beers and listened intently to our answers. The inside was lovely and not overdone like many country inns trying to capture the history of the land. The Guinness was absolutely spot on as was the Harvey's Sussex Best and the Landlord. I think I might go back”
