Nice selection of beers ales and ciders as you would expect from a wetherspoon, unfortunately I had my 17 year old daughter with me and we were eating when security informed her that she had to be gone by 8pm! This is absolutely disgraceful. She wasn't drinking alcohol or being disruptive at all, literally sitting, eating quietly.The member of staff approached her directly and not myself to tell her to leave before curfew, considering he thought her a minor I would expect him to speak to one of the 6 adults in the party of people. I am not impressed with the lack of safeguarding by the establishment as I doubt he has any dbs or training in speaking to minors and came across creepy and overbearing.

Lovely to come here and the meals are of a very good standard. Reasonable prices too. We had the all day breakfast this time.

Top quality Spoons not far from the station. Ideal for "away" football fans to get boozed up before visiting Dartford FC

No car parking without spending a fortune in a public car park.No atmosphere, and a few very loud "undesirable" people. Some beers priced wrongly at the bar

I really loved this Wetherspoons Pub. It had a lovely atmosphere and clearly a lot of effort had been made on the Christmas decorations. The service was quick for the drinks too. Didn't try the food on this occasion. One of the better spoons I have visited.

What a lovely building for our 65th Wetherspoon. Loved the wide door entrance and the glass light fittings. Definitely 5 star.However a 1 or no star for service. I had a woman who didn't give a particularly friendly greeting and appeared to have no idea of the menu. Asked for 2 chicken bite meals, but she entered boneless basket meals on the till, which I noticed and told her that's not what I'd asked for, she started to argue with me so I got a menu to show how what I wanted, then she proceeded to enter 2 chicken bites and then 2 portions of chips as seperate items, which was still wrong and would have been more expensive and didn't include a drink. I pointed this out and then she decided I was making out she was stupid. At no point was this the case, I just wanted to ensure she was entering it on the till correctly, which she wasn't, I asked for someone else to serve me.The next person was so frosty, did not bother to enquire what the issue had been, obviously decided to take whatever the other person had told her as gospel, but did manage to get the order right. Not every customer is rude or wrong and not all bar staff are perfect.When the meals arrived we were less than happy to discover the 10 chicken bites as advertised on the menu were in fact both 8. Was this a mistake or what? I'll let you decide. We did eventually get the extra 4.We've visited Wetherspoons all over, but without a shadow of a doubt this service was the worst ever.Shame, as not only were the surroundings lovely but unusually for a Wetherspoons the disabled toilet was clean.

Usual Wetherspoons menu. Great service from pleasant, friendly staff. It's a big place and like some other large Wetherspoons, it's a bit like a big school cafeteria. That's my only reservation about it - I just prefer a few more booths and smaller seating areas. Otherwise - good, reasonably priced food and great service.

This is a spacious Weatherspoons...a lot bigger inside that it looks.Decor is a bit old fashioned to my taste.However I guess it's in line with other Weatherspoons.There's a marvelous big garden with loads of chairs & tables.Customer services was good,the food was as expected...more filling than it looked.Atmosphere not too noisy.Overall a good lovely experience??

Very nice place but came here just after 8 on a Sunday morning for a coffee and there’s more than several men and women drinking pints already. Why are there even licenses that allow this.
