“Amazing people, great customer service ,prices are reasonable. Just some customers drinking too much ,and making trouble, maybe security could try to prevent it somehow. I had to run away twice as I felt in danger. Please try to see who can't behave and if they are not behaving properly while intoxitated ,get them out. Otherwise all great, good vibes. Love you all for hard work ,music and good prices. All the best guys ❤❤”

“Quaint little pub. Friendly staff and the drinks were great!”

“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 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”

“Love 'The Space' on a Wednesday. Judith does an amazing job at running it. Everyone is welcome and everyone is so lovely and the lunch is delicious.”

“Had the festive menu and the food took a little longer than expected but Charlee was fab at updating us and ensuring we were comfortable and if we needed anything else. We were sat in the conservatory which was cold and the food took longer than necessary but the food was adequate. Made better only by the millionaires fodue dessert.”

“Thank you. The food was absolutely delicious nothing will disappoint you. The staff was fantastic brilliant service and the head chef. This is the best turkish restaurant. I would differently recommend my family and friends to come to this place to eat. Thank you once again and see you again.”

“So it seems that Friday is fish and chips day ! Fresh fish not frozen, crispy batter was perfect Chips are frozen but proper chips and not those skinny things so ofyen served in pubs, garden peas or mushy peas and served with a wedge of lemon. Could ask for better and only £3 more than the local chippy which incidentally is also very good. Staff are great with a real local atmosphere so 5 stars from me”

“Amazing pub and lovely staff!! Foods unbelievable and the atmosphere is great whether it busy or calm”

“From start to finish, the staff at Côte Brasserie Bluewater were incredibly attentive, sincere, and committed to ensuring their customers had a wonderful experience. When I say everyone, I truly mean everyone! The food was full of flavor, and the chocolate chaud is an absolute must-try. We were also celebrating my son’s birthday, and the team kindly provided a complimentary cake, which made the occasion even more special. A special mention goes to Gheorge, who served us, and Konsta, who gave us such a warm welcome. Congratulations to the manager for keeping this Côte branch a standout among all the others.”

“Great Pub plenty of atmosphere a “Real Local” we didn’t eat in here so can’t comment on the food but bar staff were friendly and helpful will definitely be returning”

“Great local pub where the landlord and staff always make you feel welcome whether you're new or a regular.”

“Lovely pub, nice food, great people.”

“I had a very pleasant evening in the Ivy Leaf which is under new ownership. My intention was to call in for a pint of Guinness. That became several pints plus 3 delicious rolls consumed throughout the course of the evening. Lively friendly atmosphere, great selection of background music and the service was first class thanks to the two ladies behind the bar, Lisa and Fran, who quite clearly enjoy their jobs and have lovely personalities. This is a proper English pub and certainly the best in Dartford.”

“Local back street pub. Friendly easy going local pub with pool table. Great jukebox and beers selection.”
