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

Visted the pub this evening with my family, and it was amazing. The kids had great time and the drinks were flowing. Good music playing and my little girl loved the lights. Was there 5-9pm

Not bad deserted when I visited, Good clean pint food N/A Thanks for a great Time watching the football, even though the screen to small..☆ Footballs coming HOME, ITS COMING..!! BIG ADVERB B8GS SCREEN PLEASE 🙏!@

Fantastic little hiden gem. Food and service is outstanding and the portion sizes are well worth the cost. Sunday roast is huge, biggest Yorkshire puddings! Definitely worth another visit, the staff are so welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. Sarah, our waitress was absolutely phenomenal, gave us the feeling of being old friends which made the service even more special.

A very cute, quintessential country venue. Warmly welcomed at the door and promptly greeted by our waitperson. Our drinks did take a little while to get to us, but that is to be expected when it’s busy. Our food (breakfast) was amazing. Tasty and beautifully presented on the plate. Yum! There is a selection of giftware in the shop. Definitely a place to meet family and friends 😊

First time to Penelope restaurant, Lovely atmosphere with local produce food. Excellent customer service , our waitress (Sarah) was very welcoming and friendly. Made the whole experience worth it. Definitely will return again.

Really lovely place. Excellent decor and atmosphere. Very clean. Food was delicious - I had the veggie breakfast which was great and good portion. Louis our waiter was lovely - been here a couple of times and the staff are always attentive. Definitely would recommend.

I went to this place as it had many great reviews. It wasn't what I expected, and I truly believe that the area of a restaurant reflects the residents, as in this case, the food was a bit bland for my taste. They don't use chilli oil, which I am fully aware it depends on the area the restaurant represents, e.g. Peking, sichuan etc). However, the takeout food was itself fresh and they do 2 sizes (small & large-with a few quid difference for the sizes). I will give it another go with different foods and see if I have a similar experience again, and edit this review in time.

Regularly have a meal here. The food is great and very reasonably priced. Had a Christmas dinner with a friend the other day and it was great. Adam waited on us and he was so cheerful and helpful. Nothing too much trouble. Everyone in the pub was friendly and we had a most enjoyable time

Thank you to Jade and Terry for a lovely family evening of four. It was our first time in the area after going pumpkin picking at a nearby farm and Lullingstone was the closest to the farm according to our Satnav. Good prices e.g £11.99 for a meal and a drink.Thank you again ladies for your lovely service and you will be seeing g us again soon ❤️

Upon arrival the reception staff welcome you and explain thoroughly where everything is located and also gave us a free upgrade. The room was lovely! Especially the bath. The spa itself is super cute and our treatments were lovely and relaxing. Dinner and breakfast was good- the service was better! Only bad thing was there wasn’t enough robes in the spa the next day so make sure you wear the ones from your room. Will definitely recommend and will be back!

38-bedroom hotel in its own grounds. Lots of trees and bushes so no views but pleasant gardens to stroll round. Our room was comfortable and had a decent sized bathroom. Unfortunately the sink was very slow to drain and, despite the handyman’s attention remained so. However, the unnecessarily large bed was very comfortable but, please, lose the cushions. Two bottles of water (still and fizzy) were replaced each day but we never did work out how to make a cup of coffee with the pod machine. The room seemed well cleaned but there was a dirty mark on the over-blanket. The main bedrooms lead off a corridor from the lift at one end so it is easy to navigate. Nevertheless, on arrival we were given a short tour of the ground floor before being escorted to our room, which has an old-fashioned key. All the rooms are called after flowers and (I assume) all had a large flower picture in the room. Oddly, ours was not the same as the room name. Food and drink were provide on a generous basis and generally of good quality (but not cordon bleu) and clearly given some thought. The Christmas day (pre-ordered) meal was acceptable although most people found the enormous Yorkshire pudding a bit too tough to eat. Prosecco was offered on our arrival and Bucks Fizz on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day breakfast, so no complaints there. There is a comfortable lounge with bar and this leads through to the spa which seems to be very popular both for guests and day visitors. My wife enjoyed her massage and other guests commented favourably on the swimming pool and other facilities. Coal/wood fires heat the reception and lounge which is nice but the bedroom was warmed by an air conditioning system which was not controllable, although its slight hum was not obtrusive. Whilst our stay was not without some minor problems, I have to praise the staff who made every effort to make us comfortable, sort out any issues, and were ready to go the extra mile when required.

Spent half a day here with my wife on a spa day. As soon as we arrived, a small docket of paperwork was there with all our times and treatments etc on which was handed to us so we knew what was going on and when. The pool area is nice and relaxing, the relaxation room is nice and the neck, back and shoulder massage was great, never enough time tho. Afternoon Tea was delicious with fresh scones still warm. Overall, a great experience but as with many things in life, you pay for what you get so wouldn't expect anything else.

We had the most perfect wedding day at Rowhill Grange. It is a beautiful venue and food was amazing. We also couldn’t fault the staff at all. Everyone from our wedding coordinator Abbie and the rest of the events team, to the bar staff and waiters and our on the day wedding coordinator were honestly amazing. The events team made sure everything ran smoothly and their planning process is so comprehensive that you really feel like nothing could really go wrong on the day. They are such a credit to the venue and we are so grateful for their support throughout the planning. We are really looking forward to spending our first anniversary there and can’t recommend the venue enough!

Really nice food. A little pricey, but the wraps were steller

A really good kebab shop, nice and clean. Easily the best in the area.

Food was amazing and very delicious authentic Turkish kebab Highly recommend for the loca residents

Me & my family had a wonderful stay at Swanley P.Inn, especially with the new room upgrades. The staff were incredibly welcoming (Kirsten DHM & the night receptionist) & we really appreciated our lovely surprise of the PI WOW! Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable. Best regards Dani ✨️

Nice room. Free Parking. Beefeater is tatty, worn, and tired, and the staff are far from welcoming. Accordingly, we dined out.

Staff were kind, and the rooms were very clean and to a very modern standard (seemingly renovated quite recently), of note the bedside outlets include both USB Type A and Type C charging ports. The bathroom was also really nice too, and the bed very comfy! My only complaints are the location being not so central to Swanley station (though, it has a bus stop immediately in front of the building, which helps a lot with this and is especially convenient if getting off the train at Sidcup) and that the WiFi speed was a bit slow but serviceable enough.
