The best restaurants in Swale South East

Stunning picturesque location, set in a quiet little lane. The flowers are all in bloom and the restaurants garden area make for a perfect long lazy afternoon of amazing food and ambiance. The food is always 10/10 we have never been disappointed with the quality and culinary skill of Will who is the chef at The Dove. Sophie runs the front of house perfectly and we are always warmly welcomed by them when we cycle up. If you have not been here you MUST!!! The Dove is child, dog, child and disabled friendly it has a home from home feel and we adore it xx Thankyou to the team who work tirelessly behind the scenes to make our visits so enjoyable xx charlie + stuart xx

We had curry goat and jerk chicken with the rum punch and it did not disappoint. Very tasty food, great portion size and quick and reliable service. Will be ordering again very soon.

Upon arrival we were greeted by a very rude and obnoxious person,who insisted we waited for service while she was chatting to a customer about the weather. Then there was the food ...my children became ill shortly after we left the place,they had tuna baguettes and for some reason they tasted off . When questioned about it the very impolite individual said"if you don't like it then leave" The Café itself was poorly maintained,their was slight odour of mould near the main counter,the place was filled with trinkets to buy including photos of people eating on a summer's day there. The toilet facilities were unsanitary,no hand soap,no paper towels to dry hands with and no lock on the door. When leaving the Café it felt like we were leaving an old people's retirement home after visiting a relative,a Café/sandwich bar should be welcoming and should make their own food not fillings from plastic containers with no indication of it's freshness! Since then I have spoke to several unhappy diner's who complained about the workers there who still seem to think being snappy, aggressive and rude is the correct way. A warning to all please do not eat here if you value your wellbeing.

This pub has a genuine community feel - is extremely friendly and the Sunday lunch is to die for. It is huge, piping hot and delicious. Great value for money as well. I can't fault it in any way. The Landlady and Landlord, together with their staff are just the loveliest people.

Me and my brother come and have breakfast here regularly. The food is excellent (sausages and bacon from a local butchers) and the staff are friendly and very helpful. The facilities are clean and the food hygiene rating is 5. The best cafe I've been to in years. Highly recommend

Picked up a takeaway on the spur of the moment. Received a warm welcome and an offer of a cup of tea whilst we waited. Our food was cooked freshly for us. There are lots of really interesting photos of the island to look at while you wait. The cod was chunky and so fresh! Perfect portion size and reasonably priced. We will go here again!

A little gem on a busy road my first visit today with my elderly mum and was made so welcome from an earlier phone call for directions …. Which easy to find So pleased I went excellent food and fantastic valve friendly atmosphere from start to finish I felt like I’d known Nick ( the owner ) and Jackie for years The best bubble and squeak I’ve had in years looking forward to returning soon It may be a small diner but a big personality for a professional business

Was a regular till they took the piss like the mojority. "it's constant with BS on this island". "plain white chicken ill reiterate PLAIN WHITE CHICKEN, photos will show, what I was charged £5 for.👎

Always on the look out for a decent Pie & Mash and this café did not disappoint. Great food, friendly service and lovely place. Pies were Moorish. I'm coming back for more.

Lovely service and food. Really good value for money and generous portions. Both had 3 courses & drinks (bought at the bar) for around £60 👍🏻

Hidden little gem. Walk through the antique shop to a bright small but beautiful tea room. Staff were incredibly friendly. Tea was superb and cake, well let’s just say it was hard to stop at one slice! Antique delicate china always seems to make tea taste better! Little games on the tables make it perfect for a get together with friends and even for children. Lovely views overlooking an orchard which was stunning. Will definitely be returning!

Lovely place and staff! Food is great, my girls especially like the hot chocolates. Breakfast is also a winner and the sandwiches! Diane is a wonderful help with our charity. Always supplying me with cardboard tubes etc for the school to use for junk building.

Fantastic food cooked and presented by a local talented chef

I've travelled all over France (and many other countries that sell breakfast pastries) and I can honestly say these are the best croissants, pains au chocolat and pains au raisins I've ever tasted. Thank goodness I live a few minutes' walk away. The staff are lovely too.
