The Merrychest Cafe in Dartford

Good friendly atmosphere, no cask ale, which is better than a poorly kept cask ale.

Great food and place. Max the owner was warm, social, friendly and animated... not to be confused with leering or overstepping in my experience or opinion as another visitor stated. We enjoyed his company and will be back! Highly recommend and all the best to Max and the team.

Very crowded. Staff seemed overwhelmed.

A lovely meal with decent service. Harvester's menu does make adjustments from time to time, not always for the best, but right now they have the best menu that they've had for years.

After a bit of a booking mix up because nobody contacted me, we were fitted in. The roast pork and crackling was served with superb parsnips raastie, Yoshire, stuffing, chipolatas, copious terrific cauli cheese, peas, broccoli and carrots. Everything was perfect, pork so tender, and loads of rich gravy. We didn't have to wait long, and the price was very reasonable for such a plateful. Desserts were just as lovely, can only speak for the berry roulade and lemon meringue. Both delicious. Definitely returning, maybe fis Friday next time. Very enjoyable.
