Great experience from booking to leaving... Staff very friendly when booking... Got there, very polite and friendly staff, superb Sunday roast and desserts, good prices. On top of that, lovely pub, huge garden. Can't wait to come back.

A lovely jubbly pub. Nothing 'Hooky' about this bar, apart from you need to be millionaires to drink there!

I booked a table for 8 people, the service was friendly and efficient, all my guests were served together, not the case in other restaurants. Food was good quality, and enjoyed by all. We’ll done The Chequers

Not impressed whatsoever, no menu available online to start with, necessary to pre-order. Prawn cocktail, it was a case of finding the prawns amongst ball the lettuce. Sirloin steak medium/rare, even with a steak knife virtually impossible to cut. Vegetables somewhat bland Lemon dessert, excellent. On the plus side, waitress very efficient, able to take all eight orders without writing them down. Service quick despite being fairly busy. Would we go again, it has to be a No.

Family Sunday Lunch in the sunshine. Our first visit to Chequers which was recommended to us. Our meal was to die for. The best roast we’ve had in a pub for a long time. Extremely fresh homemade food and outstanding service. We shall 100% be back and make it a regular Sunday thing.

Hubbie, me, mum and dad went here today for the Sunday roast. Wow! It was absolutely amazing. Hubbie and I had the mixed meat roast and all was cooked to perfection. Dad had steak pie which he thoroughly enjoyed. There were no starters available, but we understood when we saw the size of the meals! Desserts were delicious and again plentiful. We could hardly move after! The staff were all very happy, helpful and attentive and all looked like they enjoyed being there. Would highly recommend and we’ll be back soon.

I understand the non-refundable deposit policy, however exceptions needs to be made for unforeseen circumstances like my Mum being taken to hospital unexpectedly. We gave them several weeks notice and asked for a deposit refund but were refused, with the comment that they would be running at a loss and wouldn't be able to re-fill our table. UTTER RUBBISH! We will never be visiting there again.

A roast at the Chequers is like going to your Nan's for Sunday dinner (assuming your Nan was a good a generous cook). Loads of well cooked veg, roast potatoes and a choice of meats. The beef was at the 'well-done' end of the scale but nice enough. The dessert menu includes proper puddings, including steamed syrup sponge which I had served to me in a small lake of custard; marvellous!

Great spot to stop at for some food and drink. Dog friendly...children to haha 😄 Also if you turn left from the pub and walk along the road you can get into the field behind, which takes you down to the river. Nice and shallow so good spot to get feet wet and dog's can have a splash to.

A lovely Sunday roast lunch, lamb was perfect at £14.95 but probably should have paid a £1 extra for all four meats on offer!! Ah that's next time order sorted. All six meals were cleared in my party some even had room for the decadent chocolate desert. Quite busy at lunchtime so a tip is be a little later when is calms down. They stop Roasts at 15:00 (which seems early but ok when you know) In summer there is a big garden to the rear Top Tip - Book in to be sure

Upon arrival on a Tuesday evening was told that they only had a limited bar menu in place due to it being quiz night. (Didn't see this mentioned beforehand when we'd looked online at their webpage on Facebook) Without time to go elsewhere we opted for the burger and chips. Food was vey basic indeed with ingredients that were not premium. The only reason we opted to come here was because it was ranked number 2 out of over 100 places to eat in Dartford. Highly disappointed! I don't mean to be mean but honestly I would have enjoyed a Burger King meal deal more.

This old inn is close to Dartford but a bit off the beaten track since the country lane in which it stands was severed by the A2 motorway some fifty years ago. It has survived because it is a pleasant hostelry run by nice people who know how to welcome folk with good food and drink. I have returned to it time and again over 56 years and it continues to appeal to me. Nowadays it has a well tended garden at the moment bedecked with petunias and begonias. I recommend it. Further to my comments made and I can recommend the roast dinner which included no less than seven vegetables. We shall continue to enjoy this pleasant venue with its great food and staff.. the drinks are not bad either!dabove two years ago we have had quite a few meals at the pub and enjoyed tthem all. Our latest visit for a meal was the Tuesday after fathers day and 5 of us enjoyed various meals .

Got there 10:25pm last night after playing sport locally. Usually we go to another pub but thought for a change we’d go here. I remember it being a nice pub in a good location.. Our greeting when we got to the bar was “we will serve you but already called last orders”. It was pretty empty and soon only a few people left and there was constant comments from the bar staff like “can we lock up yet, no two people left”. In the end we did leave, and left half a pint, partly as we felt unwelcome, partly because it was also not very nice. We stood outside talking and within a few minutes the barmaids had exited too. It seemed everyone was keen to get home, was there something good on tv I was to aware of?
