Works team lunch. Pre ordered food to ensure all of us were served in a timely manner. Food tasted better than it looked.

This was a last minute booking, we were looking for a carvery and stumbled across this pub. The girl who served us was lovely. But sadly the food was not so good.

Our local and we love it! We've enjoyed lots of live music there. The outdoor area is stunning with potted palms, a sheltered seating area and a huge outdoor corner sofa. A conservatory too with a pool table, sports on TV. Highly recommend

1, we were waiting for our food for over an hour and had to chase the food at the bar 3 times. Upon the 3rd visit to the bar we were offered a refund “if we wanted” but went to eat our food as it had arrived 1 hour and 20 minutes after ordering. We ordered 3x ‘tapas’ and each were as tasteless as the last. The ribs having not much taste in the sauce and being over 50% fat.

This was the best Sunday Roast I have had anywhere , the Roast Potatoes were to die for and what I loved was that all the Vegetables were peeled and that is something that Restraunts don't do these days and I don't like Veg with the skin left on. I would reccomend this Restaurant to anyone.

I don't normal do reviews but felt this was needed. Went for mothers day meal we was told we had taken the last table however we was stuck in the conservatory which had no heating so it was cold there were 5 other tables empty the whole time we were there. The roast dinner was very basic not really much taste and just a tad warm !!! When mentioned to the waitress it just got passed off. The desert wasn't worth eating it was a very small portion looked like the last little bit of cheesecake. Mothers day menu stated mothers main meal is free (we were 2 families) but apparently was only one per booking which was stated on fb and there website, we just booked by phone so hadn't seen that only went by the set menu that was given to us which had nothing stated it was only for one mum ! When asked if there was anything else other than that menu we were told yeah other side bits like "chips, cheesey chips, chips..." that was just chips hhmmmm. On paying there was no thank you offer of receipt or anything just walked off !!! I'm sure it's nice for some but sorry we certainly wouldn't book here again.

We were ladies alone but treated respectfully, and even though there were lots of men, probably from football, having a pint or two, we weren't disturbed and having to pop along to the bathroom was uneventful and acted like gentlemen which was nice The food was alright, l suppose. The roast potatoes were really disappointing and not particularly nice nor roasted, or crunchy as rosties should be but the vegan desert (sticky toffee pudding) was really hard and microwaved to an inch of its life and the vegan custard lumpy and tasteless It's a shame, but l can not even remember what food we'd ordered as it was that uneventful even though it was a Sunday lunch . It's sad as it's got a good view and its own carpalrk Our server was really nice and patient and helpful

Went for Sunday lunch and overall not bad but customer service could be improved. Young staff that could do with some more training ie not asked if meal was ok and seemed to not have answers to anything asked Portions were on the small side but biggest disappointment was the roast potatoes they were hard and certainly not a potato suitable for roasting and just could not eat them, I also heard another table give same feedback. When pointed out to waitress collecting plates reply was I’ll tell him! Not offered a dessert menu at all or any further drinks so we just left, certainly missing out on revenue.

No meet and greet on arrival and was asked to collect our own glasses to take back to the bar. Nothing was refreshed. The tea urn was not refreshed and dirty cups were not replenished. Nothing was overseen. In a nutshell would definitely not recommend ☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️😣😣😣

Where to begin. The lads ordered "meat feast" pizzas. They were basically pepperoni pizzas with Sundays leftover chicken crumbs sprinkled over them. After a few slices each, they gave up. A fly landed on the plate and literally buzzed straight off. We said to the barman we'd give him £20 if he could eat 3 slices. He obviously declined our offer. In fairness we did have the best laugh ever about the food that was served up. So big thanks to the microwave operator. He made our night. Best laugh in ages. Proper belly laughs

We live just a few minutes walk from the Sans Pareil and I have not been there in years, but on a spur of the moment we had lunch today. I could not fault it at all. The young lady who served us was AMAZING and the food was equally the same. I would recommend it without reservation -you are in for a culinary treat - hats off to the chef.

One word... "DISGUSTED".. booked a table for 12 people for this afternoon way back in October and when we turned up 'on time', the landlord said that we haven't got you booked down. I showed him the booking confirmation on my phone and all he said was, I never sent you this and I don't know what member of staff did. I had drove 2 hours from Norfolk to do a family pre Christmas meal for my family who live in medway and quite frankly, he couldn't give a toss. He said that we could wait, but he didn't know for sure if we would get a table even if we waited for a couple of hours. He didn't even offer a free drink as a way to say sorry as it was clearly their mistake, not mine, so we drank our drinks which was paid for and left. Will never use the place ever again and will tell all my friends and family not to use it either, as they still live in frindsbury.

A group of 30 of us pre-booked at the Sans Pareil. We pre-booked the meals and asked for a 7.30 sitting. At 7.30 we were asked if everyone had arrived and when we confirmed that they all had, the meals started to come out and within a few minutes all 30 of us were enjoying a really decent meal together. The bar and waiting staff were very friendly and courteous, the food was very good, and everything worked to make a really pleasant atmosphere. I have no doubt that we will come back again to the Sans Pareil very soon. A decent meal at a good price in a nice location.

Its on a main road and you could easily just drive past without a thought but locally it has a very good reputation. We went there for a group lunch (12) by prior booking. That was fine but they only had one chef lady who struggled when we all ordered different items from the menu. We should have thought of that and must take some blame. We could have pre-ordered our individual dishes and the kitchen would have coped much better - be fair. All dishes arrived eventually but at staggered intervals so our gang opted to eat away regardless. All plates were voted good quality and price. My own was a real surprise cos I ordered sweet and sour pork/rice. I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious it was, nothing like a naff takeaway. All dishes were ca £5 Large dining room conservatory style, 50 covers? Im told sunday lunch is a sell out warning only small car park, street parking nearby great staff and hospitality Hidden gem

We visited the Sans Pareil for lunch on a weekday while staying with our family in Kent and noticed they had new owners. We had been there before on numerous occasions over the years when the old owners had it and had never been disappointed with anything. There seemed to be a limited menu this time but we made our choices and settled down with our drinks and waited for our food to be cooked. We overheard an elderly lady who was having lunch with her daughters and grandchildren complaining quite loudly to one of the waitresses that she had been waiting over half an hour for her food. Suddenly, a young man who clearly had an attitude problem appeared in front of the elderly lady and in no uncertain terms told her and her family that ‘all our food is fresh and cooked to order, we don’t serve none of that microwave rubbish here’. I thought this was very rude, totally unacceptable and unnecessary and felt sorry for the elderly lady, who looked quite startled at this outburst but gave as good as she got. I was a bit concerned at his comments as I had ordered sausages and mash and had an image in my head of someone running round trying to catch the pig! However, we didn’t have to wait very long for our food to be served and it was ok but nothing special. I noticed that the meals and drinks had increased in price since our last visit and my husband commented that his lager had gone up by 30p a pint. The Sans Pareil always used to be a family-friendly pub with plenty of traditional ‘pub grub’ meals on the menu and all at reasonable prices. However, it seems this is no longer the case - gone are the two-for-one specials! Although a bit disappointing this time, we will probably visit again the next time we are in Kent to see if anything has changed.

Very disappointed,went in for a sunday roast good portion size but meat wasn't from a joint more like processed and from a packet,had a small side dish of cauliflower cheese which bumped the price up to £12 for my roast.,you are better off going to a toby or Copperfields as the quality of the meat and vegetables is better and offers a wider selection and is cheaper

There are two Costa Coffees at Hempstead Valley Shopping Centre (one inside and one outside). This is a review of the one outside as it was the first one we saw after parking the car. It it a light, airy establishment with friendly, helpful staff. There is seating both inside and outside and the tables were cleared as soon as the customers had left. The usual Costa drinks and snacks were available and our coffee was up to the usual good Costa standard.
