The Best Restaurants in Ditton, Kent, United Kingdom (2025)

Went for a brunch with some friends and we were welcomed as soon as we arrived! The food was great and the restaurant is really lovely inside. Service was great, couldn’t fault anything from my experience!

Great place, lovely atmosphere and great service. Warm and cosy place for a coffee and breakfast. Alcohol served as well. Best part is very reasonable prices. Well done team.

Had brunch here twice now, a longer wait late Saturday morning, but to expected as it was busy. The Service is excellent, attentive waitress. The food is fantastic. Smartly presented and super tasty. Some more unusual choices, especially for vegetarians which is great. Even a separate menu for ve/vg. The Turkish eggs were sublime! And the Mediterranean breakfast was delicious and generous portions. Overall excellent value for money. Lovely decor and space. Coffee is fab too!

From the moment I walked in and was geeeted to the time all staff said thank you and good bye was amazing. The food, service and atmosphere was stunning. I will return again and again

We had a special afternoon here before Christmas. We are keen cooks and we like to go out to restaurants to have food that we couldn’t create at home and have a proper experience. This was certainly it. Every dish was out of this world. We found it hard to rank them at the end. I’m sure we will speak about this meal in years to come!

Visited for the second time last week for brunch, and wow, what a beautiful brunch we had! Food was of amazing quality, presented beautifully and the flavours were fantastic. Service was attentive, friendly and we felt well looked after. Small, but cosy restaurant, we wish it was somewhat bigger so it wasn’t so difficult to book a table, but will definitely visit for a dinner soon.

My husband booked a table at this establishment for our wedding anniversary, I thank him very much for the chance to have this unique experience! Food and service were beyond my expectations, we were lucky to have lovely people around, the atmosphere was vibrant and relaxing. Definitely recommend!

Had one of (if not) the best brunches at Chef's Table. We ordered the Chicken and Waffles with bacon jam and maple syrup, Steak and Eggs as well as the mushrooms and potatoes on the side. All were delicious and the server went out of their way to ensure we had the best experience. A quaint setting with only 12 seats, we were the only diners which felt very intimate but we enjoyed this. Definitely enticed me to want to come back and try the A La Carte or Tasting Menu offerings!

Cute little pub you wouldn't know what there really. Lovely service, atmosphere as bit dull, it's slightly outdated however, if you want a nice quiet drink. The Kilbarn is the place to go.

We went for our friends after wedding drinks . Lovely bar, nice friendly staff . There are picnic benches outside over looking the play area and field. Large car park on site.

Visit each week on a Monday, lovely friendly barmaid, always smiling and happy in her job ! Only buy 2 soft drinks so no idea about costs of alcohol ! Xxx

It was noisy but a good atmosphere

Update 2024 December Had the Christmas set menu which was fantastic, the traditional turkey was fine and portion size was huge, so don't eat anything before your meal. I personally thought it was couple of quid over priced. Don't get me wrong the food was good and service was out standing. The bar staff worked very hard so give them a good tip. UPDATE December 2023 Had our Christmas meal here. Great service and friendly staff. But to be honest personally I was disappointed with the mushroom soup, Christmas meal was good but could have been hotter. Still have a number of good range of real beers. Good range of draught beers, food and service excellent. Would have been nicer if the restaurant area had been warmer. Service in the normal bar area was sporadic.

The pub is beautifully decorated for Christmas, with the log fire burning, very welcoming. Our meal was first class. The fish and chips was fresh and tasty. The beef and mash, and the chicken pie was also enjoyed by my friends. Hayley served us, nothing is too much trouble for her, assisted by a friendly young man in charge of the bar. A great way to spend a Monday evening! Looking forward to our next visit, that's Christmas Lunch with our MG Car club. Thank you.

Good food and good beer and friendly staff. Also very dog friendly. Visited again, usually go once a week whilst dog walking. Today went for dinner and had by request roasted tomato and red pepper soup which was fantastic, followed by pie of the day, beef and mushroom today and it was brilliant. Wholeheartedly recommend this pub.

Took advantage of the take away roast dinner offering. Food was well packaged and hot. Portion sizes were perfect. Beef and lamb was good quality and a large variety of vegetables included. Would recommend.

Love going to this place to eat in and also for takeaway. Service in the restaurant is always so friendly the food is just the best curry in the area. Really reasonably price, great menu and a really nice buzz in there

We had a lovely meal today. Service was very good too. We will be coming back, nice to have this as a local restaurant.

A great place to have dinner with friends and family! The ambience is warm and inviting, and the food is served hot and tastes just like home. They offer a variety of Indian and Nepalese cuisine, and everything we tried was delicious. It's a must-try restaurant for Indian people looking to enjoy authentic flavors. Highly recommend!

Very enjoyable experience. This was our forth visit and we will be back again and again. The food is excellent and well presented with good size portions. The staff are so polite and helpful. We are so pleased we've got a restaurant as good as this on our doorstep. I would highly recommend a visit and be sure to book as it's very popular. The restaurant has a large car park.

This is one of the best restaurants in the area. It is super clean first of all they are so friendly and welcoming it’s really nice to see that. The food is fresh and amazing the decor is modern and I just can’t fault this place. The meals are slightly pricy compared to a restaurant chain, but this is Turkish fresh food and worth every penny! The portions are brilliant I couldn’t finish mine so I was able to take it home :)

Nice Turkish restaurant with friendly waitresses, lovely atmosphere / ambience and nice experience. The drinks were nice and tasted good. The food..... from the starter to main meals had platter options that are literally too much to finish at a sitting 😅. The Nan / Bread served with the starter was hot, succulent & delicious even without the cream. The seafood & meat grills that came with the main meals were well spiced and tasted really delicious too. *They have vegan options. Was a a good experience overall and strongly recommend 👌

We have now gone to Alim-et about 5 times now. Each time has been amazing! The service is incredible, you are seen to straight away, any questions you have the servers answer happily. The food is incredible as well, I can go on and on about how great the food is, especially the hummus (best I have ever had), but it is the service that keeps us coming back. This is an incredible restaurant with amazing food and top tier service. We will keep coming back!

Overall everything was so good, food was very tasty and portions are huge. Service was so quick and the server lady was so nice. Friendly environment definitely will come again

Always a warm welcome and good food and service. Menu choices are always good. Relaxing atmosphere with a nice fire.

Stopped by for a Sunday lunch on my way home. The only space available was in the garden so worth booking ahead! Turns out Sundays are carvery days... not normally my thing but I really enjoyed mine. Tried two meats and both were excellent. The trimmings etc were all very good with special mention for the cauliflower cheese! A very good lunch!

Fantastic Sunday carvery. Extremely well organised with thoughtful staff. We took our two year old and the staff offered to move us to a table with more room when available, and even washed up his plate. Highly recommend.

We visited here on Saturday for lunch, we have a nut allergy and what struck us first was how we was greeted and asked if we have any allergies or dietary requirements which was very reassuring. The whole team went above and beyond to cater for us and the food was all made from scratch and was phenomenal. We decided to return for the Sunday roast the following day and once again we had a matched experience. This is the best pub we have been to and won’t be going anywhere else in a rush!

We recently had our wedding ceremony, meal, and evening reception at the Swan on the 27th July. We cannot say anything but good things about the Swan. Anne Herring was an amazing wedding planner, she made us feel so special throughout. The service from start to finish was exceptional. All staff were so friendly and helpful. Everyone commented on how amazing the food was! If you are looking for somewhere to host your wedding, please visit The Swan, you won't be disappointed. We would like to say thank you so much to Anne and all at the Swan for a perfect day/night. Phil & Alex x

Really good food and service. Went for Sunday lunch and the roast was delicious. Other options on the menu as well.

Spent a Saturday afternoon here drinking delicious cocktails and absolutely loved it. Fabulous range of cocktails for a pub, and all the ones I ordered were delicious, unique and beautifully presented. Decor is lovely, seating cosy and service friendly and attentive. Slight criticism is the as the afternoon turned into early evening service became overbearing as a member of staff approached our table persistently every few minutes asking if we were ready to order more drinks. There were only two of us and it was clear that our glasses were not nearly empty so it felt like we were being rushed, perhaps as they wanted to accommodate more patrons arriving. But I had a lovely time and would definitely return.

Lamb rump really delicious. Small, single hasselback potato accompaniment needed some friends, for £26 though! And the side of veggies at £5 also a derisorily small portion size. Service and vibe superb, so if the pointlessly miserly approach to vegetables is rectified, this place would be perfect!

Highly recommended, lovely food, huge portions and lovely service. Look forward to Friday work lunches!

Lovely owners. 1/4cheeseburger eith onions & ketchup + 1x portion of chips for £7.50. Will definitely be back again

The size of the burger was a huge surprise, I've never seen a burger served in such an enormous bun. Tasted really good though. £5.80 bloody good spent.

All I can say is you won't be disappointed. If you can eat a breakfast stick in one sitting = your a fatty. Love the food

The perfect bank holiday - bottomless brunch. Couldn’t have asked for a better way to spend the bank holiday! Incredible food, amazing drinks and the perfect staff. So attentive. There was live music which was brilliant! Couldn’t recommend the Hengist more!

Best breakfast I've had in a while and will be back again soon. Really good vegan breako. Was a little cold in there though and no vegan butter but overall, really impressed. First time visiting since reopening and we'll visiting again soon.

Amazing place, beautiful food, atmosphere is stunning and the staff are so friendly. Definitely be back.
