Perfect restaurant for a Golden Wedding event. Daren the Host was welcoming and helpful from the time of our first visit to the end of the event. He always replied to emails and kept in contact. The event was in good hands. Everyone had a great time and the food was excellent. Thoroughly recommend The Hilltop. We will certainly return as soon as we can. Thank you Daren.

One of the highlights of our anniversary get away was coming to the Hilltop. The setting of the venue is lovely, and the inside aesthetics and décor absolutely charming, especially after coming in from a wet and windy night. If you like a low lit, comfortable, spacious dining room with a fire, vibrant chatter, and delicious smells then this is for you. Through the dining room is a bar with a fire place you can sit around, and seating areas where you can have a quieter drink away from the hustle bustle of the main area. The star attraction is the delicious food, which was very reasonably priced considering how nice it was and how much you get of it, and the owner, Daren, who right from the moment we arrived could not do enough for us. We had never been before and he made sure we had the seats we wanted, facing where we wanted, and that we were comfortably tucked in with a drink. We had glitzy sprinkles for the table, he brought a lamp and then - as it was too bright - a candle, to set the ambience. He was gracious and charming and even lit the fire for us when we went into the other room for a drink. I've never seen such an attentive host. I really got the impression most of the people there were regulars and went often, probably due to the owner and the food! We had the soup and the prawn cocktail, the chicken, and delicious brownies, all of which were excellent. The other staff were swift and polite. Kinda wish we had stayed another night in Kent to eat there again. Will definitely be back!

The character and ambience are what help make a visit to Hilltop a memorable experience. The bar area has an amazing collection of framed black and white photos of major icons over the last few decades. The owner Darren is very welcoming and super friendly. The chef and his team do an amazing job. We were a party of 9 on a Saturday evening. Every table was booked but nothing was too much trouble. The 3 course set menu had a great selection of choices. Would happily visit again.

Had a 90th Birthday function for my mum, Rose at The Hilltops on Friday evening. What a lovely place. Darren was excellent during the planning process right thru to the conclusion. He catered for our group of 33 with so much care and attention. He is very personable man! Our guests commented on how good he and his team are! Food was wonderful. Darren provided celebration party balloons of our choice and made the our tables and bar look lovely. Mum was absolutely delighted with her evening and making her 90th birthday perfect. Thankyou. Thoroughly recommended
I am thrilled that the celebration of a “special” birthday yesterday, was made so fantastic by Daren and his highly professional team, in this lovely restaurant which is ideal for special occasions. The welcome and organisation of everything was great, with excellent attention to detail, which is rarely found nowadays. We were a large group of 13, and we were just able to order from the very varied menu on the night. All our orders came out together, and all the dishes were excellent. We all had a fabulous time, thank you so much to everyone.

We were at Hilltop last night with the family to celebrate the joint birthdays of myself and my daughter. We had such a lovely evening and the food was excellent, our Grandchildren enjoyed the adult menu and were made welcome as were we all. It was such a lovely gesture to bring out birthday cakes for us with no prior notice of the occasion, the whole evening was a delight and the staff were all great.

I celebrated my 70th here with friends and family and everything was absolutely marvellous. My expectations were high (because of the reviews), and my expectations were exceeded. Team Hilltop were amazing and I truly could not have wanted more. I also stayed here in the ‘chalet’ and it’s one of the most comfortable places I have been to in years. Very high spec.indeed and everything works. Well done Hilltop and I’m sure we will be back.
