The Plough Inn
Kent, 24 Riverside, Eynsford, DartfordIn a lovely area. The ground floor is the bar and on our visit there were lots of people with dogs.
The upstairs was the restaurant. We had Sunday lunch. Roast chicken was nice but a little dry, could have done with more gravy but to be fair I didn't ask for anymore. Roast potatoes were very good. Decent size meal.
The restaurant was very busy which made it rather noisy.

Bill's Bluewater Restaurant
100 Bluewater Parkway, Dartford, GreenhitheWe always have a good experience when coming to Bills. There is always great service and good quality food. Today we had Gurjeet who was very attentive and helpful. She was also fine with us swapping out some of our breakfast items. The service was very quick despite the restaurant gradually becoming busier. All the staff are always very polite and friendly. We like to come regularly for either breakfast/brunch or bottomless pancakes.

Castle Hotel
High St, Eynsford, DartfordWe did not stay overnight at the Castle Hotel, but we came in for a late breakfast in the restaurant, and I was very pleasantly surprised by the whole experience.
The restaurant has a very warm, elegant and welcoming atmosphere. The interior is tasteful and comfortable, with well-arranged tables, pleasant seating and lovely sofas with cushions, which all helped to create a relaxed and enjoyable setting. The table presentation was also very nice, giving the meal a sense of care and quality from the very beginning.
The service was friendly, polite and genuinely pleasant. We felt welcome and looked after, even though we were only visiting the restaurant rather than staying at the hotel.
I ordered pancakes with bacon and maple syrup, and I must say the food was excellent. I eat out quite often in different restaurants, but I have not tasted bacon as good as this for a long time. It was absolutely delicious. I assume the restaurant must be using a very good local supplier, perhaps a local farmer, because the quality of the pork was outstanding. There were no unpleasant smells or aftertastes at all — just a clean, rich and very enjoyable flavour.
The bacon was cooked perfectly: not dry, not burnt, but beautifully done. The pancakes were also very soft, delicate and tasty. The combination with maple syrup worked perfectly, and I enjoyed the dish so much that I finished every last crumb.
I also appreciated the practical details. The toilets were very convenient and well equipped, with paper towels, a hand dryer, soap and hand cream. These small touches make a real difference and show attention to guest comfort.
Overall, I really enjoyed my visit to the Castle Hotel restaurant. The food, service, atmosphere and presentation were all excellent. It was a very pleasant surprise, and I would be very happy to return.

Tongxin Restaurant
78 High St, DartfordI had such a wonderful time at this family-run spot — it’s truly charming! It was a delight to try some authentic, less Westernized Chinese dishes. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel welcomed from the moment we arrived.
We started with chicken claws, tripe, morning glory, and a dim sum set — all absolutely delicious. For our main courses, we chose beef noodles and a dish featuring duck and pork served over rice. To round off our meal, we enjoyed some heavenly custard buns.
The prawn dim sum was definitely the highlight — tender prawns wrapped in delicate, almost see-through dough. The chicken claws and tripe had nice textures, though they could have used a bit more flavor — perhaps a touch of garlic, greens, sesame oil, or seeds to enhance them. The morning glory also could have used a bit more seasoning. However, the main dishes were spot-on, and the custard buns provided a lovely, not-too-sweet ending.
Prices were really reasonable, making it easy to enjoy fantastic food without spending a fortune. I’m already looking forward to returning and exploring more of the delicious dishes on the menu! :)

The Dartford Sports Bar
13 Spital St, DartfordHad a lunchtime visit with the wife yesterday as our usual spot didn't open until 2.
Friendly service, very reasonably priced and oh my god the food was so good.
I had the steak supreme sandwich and my wife had the chicken shish kebab, for about £10 a dish the amount of meat we had in each of our meals must have easily made up £6-7 on its own.
Steak was juicy and tender, onion rings were crisp, bread was baked to perfection....
Wife said the chicken was marinated to perfection and so tender too.
The only thing if I'm splitting hairs is they served my sandwich on one of those chopping board things and I just do not understand why restaurants do this kind of thing nowadays, it's either really small plates or novel replacements for plates....
Maybe I'm just getting old ?
Would definitely visit again!

Nando's
2 Tower Retail Park, Crayford Rd Crayford, Greater, LondonToday I visited Nando’s Crayford for one last delicious chicken meal before returning to vegetarian/vegan life tomorrow; and I couldn’t have picked a better place.
A wonderful vibe, excellent food, a spotless restaurant and a hardworking team. The kitchen was busy but beautifully organised.What stood out most was one team member: Will.
He was absolutely on top of his game; clearing tables quickly, checking in on guests, keeping the flow moving. Non‑stop energy, genuine care, and the kind of natural hospitality talent you don’t see every day.I’ve worked with, managed and observed hospitality professionals for 26 years, and many seasoned people still don’t match Will’s skill set.
The surprise?This was his first ever shift.Well done, mate. Keep that passion and dedication; it will take you far.
Nando’s Crayford, I’ll be back soon to explore your vegetarian and vegan options.

Kent Curry
56 Hythe St, DartfordAfter reading some of the other great reviews, my wife and I visited for the first time here on Sunday 29/9 for lunch, and we were extremely surprised! I appreciate that Indian food may not be the go-to choice for most people's Sunday lunch, but I cannot fathom why were we the ONLY diners in the place? It's one of a few Indian restaurants open at lunch times. There's free parking behind the restaurant on Sundays too. We opted for the four course lunch menu at a very reasonable £17.95 pp. The food was delicious and the service impeccable, and the staff were so polite. A bottle of wine, two beers and the food....all for £66 for two. Great value! The only point that slightly detracted from our lovely meal was that it would have been a nicer touch to have Asian style music, rather than pop playing softly in the background.
Wheelchair accessibility: No steps at all, furniture is well positioned

Pret A Manger
Unit L0006, Eastern Mall, Dartford, GreenhitheMy best experience at Pret A Manger was both pleasant and memorable. One morning in London, I stopped by the shop to grab breakfast before starting my day. As soon as I walked in, the warm smell of freshly baked bread and coffee created a welcoming atmosphere. The staff greeted customers with friendly smiles, which made the place feel comfortable and lively.
I ordered a freshly made sandwich and a hot cappuccino. What impressed me most was how quickly the staff served my order while still being polite and attentive. The food was fresh, delicious, and well prepared. The sandwich had crisp vegetables and soft bread, and the cappuccino was perfectly warm and smooth. It felt like a simple meal, yet it was very satisfying.
I also noticed how clean and well-organized the shop was. The seating area was tidy, and customers seemed relaxed while enjoying their food or working on their laptops. The environment felt calm even though it was busy.
What made the experience special was the combination of quality food, fast service, and friendly staff. It showed how a small moment, like stopping for breakfast, can become a great experience. Since that day, I have always enjoyed visiting Pret A Manger whenever I am in London. ?

Four Seasons Chinese
50 London Rd, Stone, DartfordI'd say my favourite Chinese takeaway, bar none. They are friendly, polite, accommodating to allergies/dislikes and it's never too much trouble to have something taken out or adjusted to the dish(es). Deliver within a decent time, most often before they estimated. Food is delicious everytime, and reasonable prices.

The Plough Inn
Kent, 24 Riverside, Eynsford, DartfordIn a lovely area. The ground floor is the bar and on our visit there were lots of people with dogs.
The upstairs was the restaurant. We had Sunday lunch. Roast chicken was nice but a little dry, could have done with more gravy but to be fair I didn't ask for anymore. Roast potatoes were very good. Decent size meal.
The restaurant was very busy which made it rather noisy.

Castle Hotel
High St, Eynsford, DartfordWe did not stay overnight at the Castle Hotel, but we came in for a late breakfast in the restaurant, and I was very pleasantly surprised by the whole experience.
The restaurant has a very warm, elegant and welcoming atmosphere. The interior is tasteful and comfortable, with well-arranged tables, pleasant seating and lovely sofas with cushions, which all helped to create a relaxed and enjoyable setting. The table presentation was also very nice, giving the meal a sense of care and quality from the very beginning.
The service was friendly, polite and genuinely pleasant. We felt welcome and looked after, even though we were only visiting the restaurant rather than staying at the hotel.
I ordered pancakes with bacon and maple syrup, and I must say the food was excellent. I eat out quite often in different restaurants, but I have not tasted bacon as good as this for a long time. It was absolutely delicious. I assume the restaurant must be using a very good local supplier, perhaps a local farmer, because the quality of the pork was outstanding. There were no unpleasant smells or aftertastes at all — just a clean, rich and very enjoyable flavour.
The bacon was cooked perfectly: not dry, not burnt, but beautifully done. The pancakes were also very soft, delicate and tasty. The combination with maple syrup worked perfectly, and I enjoyed the dish so much that I finished every last crumb.
I also appreciated the practical details. The toilets were very convenient and well equipped, with paper towels, a hand dryer, soap and hand cream. These small touches make a real difference and show attention to guest comfort.
Overall, I really enjoyed my visit to the Castle Hotel restaurant. The food, service, atmosphere and presentation were all excellent. It was a very pleasant surprise, and I would be very happy to return.

The Dartford Sports Bar
13 Spital St, DartfordHad a lunchtime visit with the wife yesterday as our usual spot didn't open until 2.
Friendly service, very reasonably priced and oh my god the food was so good.
I had the steak supreme sandwich and my wife had the chicken shish kebab, for about £10 a dish the amount of meat we had in each of our meals must have easily made up £6-7 on its own.
Steak was juicy and tender, onion rings were crisp, bread was baked to perfection....
Wife said the chicken was marinated to perfection and so tender too.
The only thing if I'm splitting hairs is they served my sandwich on one of those chopping board things and I just do not understand why restaurants do this kind of thing nowadays, it's either really small plates or novel replacements for plates....
Maybe I'm just getting old ?
Would definitely visit again!

Tongxin Restaurant
78 High St, DartfordI had such a wonderful time at this family-run spot — it’s truly charming! It was a delight to try some authentic, less Westernized Chinese dishes. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel welcomed from the moment we arrived.
We started with chicken claws, tripe, morning glory, and a dim sum set — all absolutely delicious. For our main courses, we chose beef noodles and a dish featuring duck and pork served over rice. To round off our meal, we enjoyed some heavenly custard buns.
The prawn dim sum was definitely the highlight — tender prawns wrapped in delicate, almost see-through dough. The chicken claws and tripe had nice textures, though they could have used a bit more flavor — perhaps a touch of garlic, greens, sesame oil, or seeds to enhance them. The morning glory also could have used a bit more seasoning. However, the main dishes were spot-on, and the custard buns provided a lovely, not-too-sweet ending.
Prices were really reasonable, making it easy to enjoy fantastic food without spending a fortune. I’m already looking forward to returning and exploring more of the delicious dishes on the menu! :)
