We had a fabulously cosy, clean and quiet room - this was a really good value stay! A full continental breakfast (including apples, yoghurts, cereals, milk, orange juice, nutrigrain bars, porridge pots etc…) was left in the fridge in our room for the morning.

Wonderful little pub, very friendly manager who showed us to and around our rooms, very clean room and plenty to choose from for the free breakfast in the room. Cosy little pub and great and friendly service there. Only suggestion (and this is no complaint) is maybe include a pot noodle or two in the room (chicken and mushroom/beef and tomato 😁) Thanks for the lovely stay!

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!!

My usual takeaway was closed for holiday, do I headed for somewhere else and in doing so drove past Ditton Best kebab. A new set up and I thought I would give it a try. Very glad I did, the food is plentiful, filling and tasty. I am a fussy chap when it comes to my kebabs, I will use this takeaway from now on. Lovely people, I believe it is family fun 👍

I recently visited this gem of a kebab shop and was thoroughly impressed! From the moment we walked in, the warm, family-run atmosphere made us feel right at home. The service was exceptional—friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The food, however, was the true standout. Each kebab was expertly seasoned and grilled to perfection, with fresh ingredients that burst with flavor. The portion sizes were generous, and everything was served piping hot. It’s clear that a lot of love and care goes into every dish here. If you’re looking for a place with incredible food and a genuine family vibe, this is the spot. Highly recommended!

I recently visited Ditton Best Kebab, and it was an exceptional experience! The quality of the kebabs is top-notch, with tender, flavourful meat and fresh ingredients that make each bite a delight. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring that every aspect of the meal is perfect. The restaurant itself is clean and inviting, making for a pleasant dining atmosphere. Whether you’re a kebab connoisseur or a first-timer, Ditton Best Kebab is a must-visit, hands down the best kebab I have had. Highly recommended!

We tried to order online but it wasn't taking online credit payment so I paid when I went in to order. Very friendly staff. As we're very local I came back to pick the food up later. Just a teething problem I expect but paid with card in the shop. The food was hot and tasty and not greasy. Slightly cheaper than other local takeaways and I would say slightly more food. All in all a great first impression.

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

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

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

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.

Southcot Dentalcare

I've been going to Southcot for a number of years now and Dr Clare is my dentist there. I travel well out of my way (25 miles) to get there as its the best dentist I've been to. The receptionists are understanding, kind and professional. Giving a fantastic customer service. Dr Claire has managed to skilfully save several of my teeth and I have had a bridge done that still doing a perfect job years later. I have not exactly looked after my teeth well in the past and I've always felt a bit embarrassed by that fact. However Dr Clare has always made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. I'd not go anywhere else.

I haven’t visited a dentist in twenty years and have to confess I was scared. Tim and Nicola though have seen me through three extractions and got me back on track whilst I can’t say I look forward to visiting the dentist it no longer fills me with dread. If you are of a nervous disposition put yourself in the hands of the Southcot team and see how their professional and friendly approach can make a difference. Thank You!

Last week, I had my first check-up, at this clinic, with Dr Patel (if I am correct, I am so bad with names, apologise if I got it wrong). Needless to say that I get anxious about going to the dentist, but He was Great!! Made me feel so comfortable, patient, asked all the right questions, explained few things to me and we had few laugh too. Well at least I did. I will definitely book with this clinic again when I need to. Oh wait, I haven't finished yet. Reception staff are great too (I didn't forget about you, wink wink 😉😂) talked few time on the phone and they are patient and courteous. Thank you

I have been going to Mr Wakerley at this surgery for over 30 years. I no longer live locally, but don't wish to a different dentist. Everyone at the surgery is great.

It was a very lovely experience down there. I’ve been to the restaurant twice. 5 of the photos were on my Samsung in which the photo quality isn’t great, the other 5 on my iPhone where the photo quality is better. I went there with my classmates and teachers. Originally, we was supposed to go in December 2022, but due to the snow and learning from home, we couldn’t go. However, we eventually went there in January 2023. I had fish and chips along with garlic bread and an ice cream sundae (pics from my Samsung phone which the photo quality was poor) and it was lovely. The second time I went was in July of 2023, again with my classmates and teachers. We had the meal out hence one of the teachers was leaving our school. This time I had a starter being chicken strips. My main meal was the same delicious fish and chips. One of my friends gave me a waffle which was beautiful. (Second time I went, photos were on my iPhone and quality was even better). The staff were very friendly. I would 100000% go there again :)

A lovely old fashioned pub/restaurant just outside of Maidstone,Kent. I parked in their large free car park. Note that there are no parking restrictions. The pub is an old building with large oak beams, watch you don't bump your head in some areas. There are plenty of tables and I would imagine the area around the lovely open fire is rarely empty during the cold months. There is also a large outside seating area which is patio styled with plenty of wooden tables. The pub is run by Greene King and is more upmarket than usual and this is reflected in the menu and the pricing. I had some nachos which was a large portion and the tortilla chips were home made ( see pic ) very nice but at £9.75 the most I've paid in a Greene King pub. I saw various meals come to tables and all looked good and it's not all chips,chips,chips. They have the two meals deal but it's set at £14.99 hear which again is on the higher side but portions are generous. They still have some great offers on drinks with cocktails and spritzers at just £5.99. All staff I came into contact with were polite and friendly. This would be a great place for special occasions as the surroundings are lovely. Visited on 10/12/24 and was a little disappointed..trying to run everything with just one member of staff simply did not work. Tables were left with plates and glasses and there were times when no one was at the bar to serve

The Wealden Hall Public House, located at London Road in East Malling, Aylesford, is a historically significant building dating back to the late 14th century. Originally a farmhouse, it has been modified over centuries and now serves as a restaurant. The building's main block showcases exposed timber framing with curved braces and brick infilling, characteristic of its medieval origins. The service and solar ends are jettied forward on brackets and joists, and the structure includes a central recess supported by two curved braces, plain tiled hipped roofs with gablets, and various architectural features like a dragon post and a gabled stair-tower at the rear. In the mid-17th century, an extension was added, enhancing its historical and architectural value. This addition features a timber-framed upper floor, rubble stone ground floor with brick dressings, and a central ridge stack. Internally, the hall retains a collar-purlin roof with a crown post, and there are indications that it once had an upper-floor hall. The Wealden Hall is a Grade II* listed building, recognized for its architectural and historic significance, and has been officially listed since February 1987. Excellent food, and drinks, with a warm welcome & friendly atmosphere. The staff is attentive when entering this establishment offering a cosy, traditional pub ambience which enhances their dining experience. Regarding the food, the menu offers a variety of traditional British pub dishes: steak and ale pie, lamb shank, and fish and chips. I specifically commend the chicken and ham pie being a standout dish. Drink options are also well-rated, with a good selection of ales, lagers, and wines. A large outside seating area with parasols. Overall, the Wealden Hall I highly recommend for those seeking hearty, traditional British fare in a historic and pleasant setting. Dog-friendly... 🐕

This place is a GEM. We walked from Rochester to Aylesford today on the Pilgrims Way. Got soaked. Were recommended this place at the Priory and had a superb end to our walk here. Amazing service. Think owners are new. Very friendly. Accommodated us even though they were busy on a Sunday. Food was superb. Amazing vegetarian Sunday roast. Good wine and awesome dessert. So overall, 5/5 for food. Service - so friendly and sincere. Waitress and the owner looked after us. We chatted and just had a nice cosy feel to the place. I really hope people disregard the previous reviews and give this place a chance. The new owners are lovely and the food was amazing. I left my handbag and scarf there by accident as I was putting my coats on and had a backpack with me. Bless them. They sent Harley running after us to the station (as we had chatted and they knew we were heading back to London) to give me my handbag. I’m so grateful for the hospitality and their kindness and effort. It’s such a nice feeling to have a glow in the heart that good people do still exist. Thank you guys so much for giving us such an awesome evening. A great end to a lovely day. I’ve been trying to call to say thank you but can’t get thru on the phone. I will be in Aylesford later in the month to do the next section of the Pilgrims Way. I will definitely pop in to say my thanks in person. Please keep up the amazing friend service and the good food.

A lovely pub/restaurant. I ate there two evenings. The service was fantastic from all the staff I encountered. The food was cooked to perfection. The next time I visit The Friars I will happily take my evening meals with you again. Thank you and a happy and blessed Christmas to you all.

We have dined here a few times. Sadly a little while ago they suffered a devastating fire but have reopened again. The pub is an old building with plenty of character. The jewel in its crown is being located in the lovely village of Aylesford right next to the river Medway. Their outside area offers lovely views of the river and old bridge crossing. They have a good selection of beers, wines and spirits. IMO they have upped their game on the food front, most patrons were there to eat and we saw some very tasty meals passing by us. We are being healthy ATM so went for tuna nicoise salad. Our came a lovely tuna steak with new potatoes and a leafy salad with olives, tomato and onion. They have some vegetarian and vegan options on their menu too. Service is not quick but I would rather have fresh cooked good food than zapped, poor quality food. We also treated ourselves to a frozen strawberry daiquiri slushy, very nice on a warm day. There is a free car park a five minute walk away, no parking on the street outside. In summary, a nice meal, not rushed . Staff except one were friendly.

Visited this branch today with my family. All the front staff are lovely, bubbly and efficient. We sat down and managed to spilled my husband's drink. Went and ask for help, Victoria managed to spot and helped me all the way for clearing my mess without any hesitation. Of course, I helped her as I can't just sit in one corner whilst she's cleaning the mess I made. She's amazing. She helped with passion, calmly and professionally. Thank you so much Victoria. You're an asset to this branch.

Rode past a few years ago on way to Labour at the new EMRC site being built and thought it was for employees only. Discovered today whilst looking for a local cafe to take the partner and son for a quick bite, that it is open to public too, so thought we'd give it a try. Turned out to be a fantastic decision. Lovely spot with the friendliest staff you'll find anywhere. Food top notch and reasonably priced and best of all it's HOT. Plenty of space for meetings or a quiet bite, the staff having meetings are barely audible and very respectful of the surroundings even when sat one table over. It is clear the owners and managers of this establishment care about what they do. It's a whole package breakfast/lunch experience, lovely landscaped surroundings, wonderful food, and a service to match. You can access it on foot or by car, and is only a short distance from the nearest bus stop and train station. 5*s isn't enough. Will be coming back again VERY soon and I can't wait to visit when the orchards are in bloom.

An impromptu visit recently with my children but was unknowingly in the window between breakfast & lunch. The server was very helpful and made me a ham salad sandwich as after the walk from East Malling I didnt have much time. The Fresh loaves of bread on sale were great value & the selection of cakes very tempting Would recommend better signage on foot as I walked the whole way round following the road signs not realising it was in the middle of the buildings
