“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.”

“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.”

“Staff are really nice and really nice place overall”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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”

“Beautiful scenery. Lavender and sunflower fields. Nice walk along the river.”

“Needed an early lunch, the restaurant was highly visually appealing, received a warm and bright greeting from Angel. The lunch menu was ideal, good selections and fairly priced. The portions were heartily sized and flavours were delightful. Angel took time with explaining the menu and attentiveness throughout the visit was well balanced.”

“We have eaten here a number of times but only take delivery so it was great to get the opportunity to go in for a chance. It didn't disappoint at all. The food was really good and we look forward to returning.”

“Great experience from start to end. Booking a table was simple through their website and third party provider. Very attentive staff. Food was amazing. We had the patatas bravas, whitebait deep fried, paella, beetroot and goats cheese tart. The latter’s flavours and textures were on another level. Would highly recommend. What a gem in Dartford.”

“Great food. Quick service. Lovely lattes too.”

“A True Hidden Gem! I can’t believe I just discovered this place—it’s honestly a hidden pearl in the area! The food was amazing, and the prices were super affordable, which is such a rare find these days. What really stood out was how friendly everyone was. The owner made me feel so welcome, like I’d been going there for years. The staff were warm and attentive, and you could tell they actually cared about making sure you had a good time. If you’re looking for great food, great vibes, and prices that won’t break the bank, you have to check this place out. I’ll definitely be back and telling my friends about it too!”

“Interesting little village pub, full of curios and local artwork. Great quiz! Friendly tortoiseshell cat who may join your quiz team. Friendly landlady.”

“Cracking little pub, incredibly friendly, absolutely amazing service with all genuine authenticity from all of the people in here customers and staff! We had roast turkey, roast lamb, plus all the sides only came to 65 quid including drinks! Definitely recommend this place as a find, you are made to feel so welcome and the service is so hospitable!!”

“Great old pub from my youth, I used to live in Dartford and have been in there a few times, this was for a wake for a very close friend of ours. The staff are always pleasant, the wake was held in the back of the pub, so no regular customers were in there. The team looked after us very well, nothing more to say really, prices are reasonable for drinks, etc.”

“Lovely food and service was great.”

“Service was quick, Tasty food with great portions sizes. Worth the trip. Recommend the Oreo milkshake!”

“We have been using Kent Curry as our local curry for years and are never disappointed- whether its dining in or takeaway. The food is so tasty and the staff are so friendly and kind. We would never go to another curry as it never hits the same!”

“I travel a lot with work so I use these places a lot. This has been one of the better places I've stayed. Friendly and helpful staff with plenty of local knowledge. Clean and tidy rooms and the bathroom/shower were immaculate”

“I spent a spa day here andcould not be more pleased with my experience. All the staff were very attentive and efficient. I enjoyed my facial and hot stone massage and would like to thank Selina very much. We could choose a lunch from the bar menu to a value of £25 if we didn’t want to choose from the set spa day lunch menu. I went with my daughter for my 60th Birthday treat and would recommend. Such a relaxing place.”

“I've been eating here for god knows how long and the food has always been great, possibly the best in Dartford. If you've never tried it, give them a ring and ask the lady for some recommendations. You won't regret it!”

“Great breakfast good nice staff.”
