Came here with my two dogs on the second day of the opening under the new owner. Love the decor. Dog bowls on the floor, free dog treats and tables and chairs outside with lovely throws to use. I had a really tasty jacket potato and a beautiful home made cake. Has a good selection of gluten free and vegan options of savoury and sweet items. Throughly recommend

Lovely vegan breakfast 😀 Will certainly be going back again. Friendly staff and a great selection of vegan cakes too! Dog friendly also which always gets bonus points in my opinion! Highly recommend.

Went here for breakfast. Dog friendly cafe. Had the 'Hair of the Hound' full English breakfast which was ok. Wife had Gluton Free (GF bread was not good). Fast service and Friendly staff. Recommendations: clean the windows from the cobwebs and flys, not nice when your eating.

A far cry from a truckers café, this local coffee house offers a cosy seating area with a modest menu. The interior is well decorated. There is a standard selection of hot items with a range of cakes that also cater to vegan requirements. Parking is easily found on the road, or it's a walk away for local residents who tend to come here and socialise in small groups. Prices are what you would expect.

We all had a lovely afternoon tea at Baskervilles Coffee House. The traditional tea had a good selection of savoury and sweet treats. The child's tea also had a good selection, having changed the sandwich fillings to known favourites. Our dog certainly enjoyed her afternoon tea too and it was great to be able to give her something designed for her instead of snuffling our sausage rolls. The staff were really happy, polite and chatty. This is a wonderful little coffee shop and a great place to visit if you want to sit with your dog.

Fantastic place to stop for coffee and a snack if out walking or mountain bike riding like I was today. Had a flat white - was excellent as was the sausage roll. This will now be my preferred mid ride stop for this route. Blankets available with outside seating so you can enjoy a coffee even on those chillier days. Stopped by again a few days after this review mid ride. Coffee and steak pasty excellent. Really pleasant place to rest for a while by the river. PS be sure to look out for the bold as brass Robin who likes to snack on cake crumbs etc! June 2022 update - seats and chairs upgraded - this place continues to impress!

Great place to visit for a snack and a hot drink whilst on a ride or walk. Recommend the hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows. A lot of building works have been completed recently so the area is looking fresh and welcoming with a new outside seating and canopy incase it’s raining. Thanks again for the great hospitality

Lovely staff and lovely venue to sit and watch the world go by. Great for four-legged friends as well. Always have a sausage roll and a drink whilst the dog has a ice cream. Can get very busy at times as it's a very popular place.

A favourite place to walk to, have a coffee and chill. It’s a perfect location, friendly staff and high quality food. For such a tiny place they do amazingly well. I’ve introduced many people to this little gem. The dog biscuits are genius. My dog won’t walk past without joining the queue for her biscuit so our furry friends approve too!!

Wonderful fish and chips. Food was fresh and the batter was melt in the mouth! Best fish and chips I’ve had for years. They even did half chips half salad which is perfect when you know you should be good, but a few chips don’t hurt 🙄😆 Restaurant clean and staff very friendly. I have told my friends and family to go there .. highly recommend

Located in the A20,Ditton near Maidstone,Kent. Restaurant and takeaway that has been trading for around 30 years. Has it's own car park which is free if charge for customers. Serves traditional fish and chips along with pies,burgers,scampi etc. everything is cooked fresh and comes up lovely and hot. I had cod and chips, the piece of fish was chunky but not that big and at £16.50 a little expensive. You are given a bread roll with your meal. There are smaller portions for £10.50 which comes with a cup of tea. I didn't receive the drink I ordered and had to ask for it and it was difficult to attract the attention of the waitresses,there was no check back. I looked at the dessert menu but felt it was too expensive so left it. The restaurant was clean, table were cleared quite quickly and wiped down and relaid for the next diners. There are toilet facilities onsite which were clean

Literally the crispiest batter on the fish ever, the fish was fresh and the chips are salted to perfection, although we had to ask for sauce because they forgot it, rate the experience 10/10! Really recommend this place.

Good fish and chips, good service, kids friendly and lots of parking. The grilled seabass and salmon were a little on the dry side, so better stick to the fish and chips. Thumbs up

Highly recommended. This was our first visit, for breakfast, the diner was spotlessly clean, the staff were friendly and the food arrived quickly and piping hot. Really good value and one of the best restaurant veggie breakfasts my Husband has had.

So we visited this diner for the first time today, on arrival we were greeted by a friendly member of staff who advised us to sit where we wanted. We ordered a breakfast and a bacon cheeseburger and chips, the foot turned up in a timely manner and was tasty and not greasy at all, we had two can of drink, which I though where a little over priced £1.80 each, Overall would definitely come back, the staff where friendly the service was good and the deco was pleasant , Well done mickeys diner

I have been a patient for about 10 years . The entire staff , both reception and dentists are polite, professional and helpful. You are always made to feel welcome and put at ease. My family feel the same as me about coming to Willows because it is a pleasant experience.

Moved over from another dental practice and have to say the reception staff are much more friendly and helpful and the dental staff I have seen are amazing!! So patient and kind and reassuring, especially as I find the dentist traumatic and have had panic attacks at previous clinic. Whole heartedly recommend! Makes my previous practice seem like butchers!

Highly recommend Willows. I have been registered here for many years and have found the Dentistry, Nurses and reception staff extremely friendly. They make you at ease and accommodate your needs. Not very often I need to go as an emergency but when I have needed them in the past they have been able to fit me in the same day or within a few days.

I stay here for work on average 1 night a week. The value for money cannot be beaten. I have stayed in similarly priced hotels and inns in the area and i have settled on staying here regularly must be my biggest compliment. For this price point you will always have little annoyances but never had any major issues

We held my mother's wake here a couple of weeks ago. We received a warm and friendly welcome despite being somewhat earlier than expected due to the rain. The food was great and suited all including the veggie teenagers at a very reasonable price.

I thought an Indian restaurant in an old style pub was a weird combination, that was until I had the pleasure of laying eyes on a boss wrap. What a combination, will bring a tear to the eye of any man, woman or child. I feel sorrow for people that have not had one and jealousy for someone about to have their first. The pub will also show the sport if you ask nicely enough, and provide drinks at a very reasonable place. What's not to like!!

After waiting around 10 years to visit we were blown away by this venue. The owner and staff were excellent and couldn’t make us more welcome. Loved the ambience and best cocktails I have ever had. More importantly the Sunday Roast was amazing - 10 out of 10 guys you’ll be seeing a lot more of us. Linda & Nigel xx

The Friars Tea Room at Aylesford Priory is a charming place for a tranquil respite. The ambiance is serene, offering lovely views of the priory grounds. The staff were welcoming, and the homemade cakes, freshly brewed tea, and hot chocolate were delicious. We regrettably missed the baked savory items due to our late arrival. While a bit pricey, it felt like a worthwhile contribution to the Priory's upkeep. A perfect spot to unwind and savor simple, high-quality refreshments in a beautiful setting. I highly recommend it!

Very kind staff. There are not many options, but what is there is tasty! The ship is a lovely little gift shop with religious based gifts, books, etc. I come here for my advent candle! However, for a location with a physical link to St Simon Stock, they have nothing for him. No prayer magnet, no symbol for him or candle, no books, etc. Always strikes me as strange!
