‘You’ll eat in the kitchen’ Silke said; well it was some kitchen. In fact it’s an enormous modern stylish room, specially designed for Adrian the chef to cook and guests to eat in comfort. It makes for a great relaxed atmosphere. The food is imaginative, tasty and well presented; pub grub it is not. Three generations shared the experience of eating at Silke’s and they were unanimous in their delight.

We were thrilled to join Adrian and Silke for one of their test kitchen openings to their recently launched Supper Dining Club. We were warmly welcomed by Silke and shown their beautiful and peaceful Japanese Gardens before being seated in the open plan kitchen dining area which has a relaxing and sumptuous ambiance overlooking the garden and ponds. Our meal was excellent with some highlights including an unusual chilled cucumber and avocado summer soup with olive oil dressing and slow roasted smoked chicken done on the Big Green Egg barbeque served with crispy roasted potatoes and a broccoli and parmesan dressing that we had never savoured before. The whole experience was friendly, accomplished, delicious and unique. We highly recommend.

My family and I had the best time at Silk House Dining. They were so accommodating with our timings and dietary requirements, making the visit so special. We really enjoyed talking to the chef and his partner, making us feel really welcome. The menu can really be accommodated to your liking, with dietary requirements adapted (up to 2 variations). We’re a family of vegans and carnivores and they accommodated amazingly. I would highly recommend for a special occasion and we will be visiting again!

Darren visited to carry out some modest work at a residential property, his level of experience was essential in planning out the minor works. He took into account changes that would occur at a later date and he performed the work above my expectation. Thank you.

Extremely professional approach and the work carried out was of a high standard. When the work was completed it looked very good and small details were taken into consideration. Price was very good and would definitely use them again and recommend to friends. Steve Five Oak Green

Scott is absolutely wonderful. After commenting on a post I'd written in our local community facebook group about a suspected faulty gas oven after we'd moved in, he attended at short notice and quickly identified the problem. Throughout the whole process he was professional, personable and always turned up when he said he would. Attached are photos when the old oven was removed and the new one which he fitted. After just a couple of days, we had to call Scott out again unfortunately this time for our faulty boiler. He managed to squeeze us in at short notice right before Christmas and kept us updated as best he could. To anyone looking for a Gas Safe Registered Engineer, I would not hesitate to recommend him.

Scott replaced my old hot water system with a new unvented cylinder, sorting out a lot of old pipework in the process. It was (to me at least) a complicated job which he carried out quickly and efficiently. He also replaced two showers. He turned up on time each morning and always tidied up at the end of the day. Thoroughly recommended.

Rating: 5 / 5

Really impressed with the service, came round promptly to quote, could have quoted for a replacement hot water cylinder but gave an honest opinion that a repair could be carried out and save the extra expense. Was then able to come the next working day to do the repair, worked cleanly and quickly and happy with the outcome, saving me £1200 of cost another plumber had quoted me for without the option of the cheaper repair.

Scott was brilliant. Helped us out in a difficult situation as well as look at some other snags around the house. Gave honest and professional advice. Competitively priced and very courteous and tidy. Would highly recommend!

Have no hesitation in recommending Pipeworks - Really helped us out in an emergency when our heating stopped working, and getting it working again quickly. Have since completed a full service, going the extra mile to make sure everything is up to scratch, and clearly explains everything as he goes. Thank you!

My partner phoned up today to get a quote for having a ceiling light put up... He was more than happy with the price and the electrician was able to turn up within the hour and expertly install it. 100% Professional, reliable and highly recommended electrician. Definitely looking forward to using this firm again next year 👍

The whole experience from the initial call for help, right up until bidding him farewell was exceptional, prompt and very reasonably priced. The man (i forget his name) traced and found the fault with ease with his obvious wealth of experience and knowledge. would 100% recommend TFS and i will definitely be retaining their number for any future electrical work.

A huge shout out to Dr James and Dr Alex and all of the wonderful receptionists and nurses. My daughter was cared for amazingly when she was in pain with one of her teeth recently. They showed so much care and compassion for her and went above and beyond to make her feel safe and looked after. Thank you.

On my first ever visit as a nervous patient I was made to feel welcome and put at ease straight away. The dentist was kind and explained everything in detail. There was a friendly atmosphere in the surgery too. I would definitely recommend them.

Historically petrified of dentists, Brenchley Dental is amazing at being on time, efficient, friendly and helps me relax when at my visits. James Cullen is brilliant and friendly and tells you exactly what's going on in a professional way. Highly recommend.

The team at Brenchley Dental are fantastic. During our time at the clinic my wife and I have had two dentists, both have been great, taking the time to talk through, in detail, any examination findings and associated treatment. My daughter is also a patient (NHS) of the clinic and the team have been just as good. They always arrange family appointments to make things easy and have been very flexible when we needed to rearrange at short notice. As far as value - dental treatment is, of course, expensive but Brenchley Dental appear to be competitively priced and have never tried a ‘hard sell’ for any service. The service and treatment is so good that the costs constitute good value for me.
