The best restaurants in East Downs Swale South East

Had the all day breakfast this morning, as we do.... Top quality all round, the sausages and bacon were delicious and the whole served quickly by friendly staff. Highly recommend!

Amazing service and really tasty food! Visited with my mum who's a coeliac and it was priceless to see her inspect the whole menu with no concerns. We opted for the smoked mackrel pate special as a starter and it was melt in the mouth amazing! The rest of the meal was a delight and I didn't feel any compromise had been made for it to be GF, very well done! Will be looking for excuses to return and only sad it's not on the doorstep!

Great Sunday lunch and good value too. Excellent service.

I run and organise a walking group for Basset hound owners and in February we started, and ended our monthly walk here at the Chequers inn. There were 20 of us, with our dogs, all made to feel extremely welcome in the pub where we all enjoyed a fantastic roast dinner, and dessert. This isn’t the first time I’ve taken the group here, and it won’t be the last. Everyone in the group commented on how much they enjoyed the food. Very friendly staff, excellent food. Highly recommend.

It was truly amazing food to enjoy with my friends, staff are very friendly, especially the chef who was constantly nice to us!

It was our 35th anniversary so we booked at the Plough as it's known for culinary excellence. My 'carer' & i both chose the roast chicken pie, which our waitress, Angel- yes that's her real name- advised that they had had a busy lunchtime & served a lot of these, she helpfully advised they took 30 mins, so gave us. some fresh bread & butter, complimentary, to 'keep the wolf from the door' . The pie was very good, pastry crispy, but not dry, creamy mash was perfect. Angel got me an Irish coffee for 'desert' & floated the cream in excellent style, at table, without mixing it up with the coffee- unfortunately my wife 'stole' half of it! We were then given chocolate to round off the meal- a nice touch, thankyou

We had a fantastic evening with friends to celebrate a 70th birthday. I probably had the best food I have ever eaten, just fantastic and everyone agreed with this. The restaurant was cosy with log burner and great atmosphere. The service was excellent, making sure everyone was happy at all times. Just an amazing evening, and of course with great friends. So pleased this pub/restaurant is close to us.

Attended this hotel for a Murder Mystery evening, this was fantastic. Well organised, room where the event was had been decorated beautifully, good actors and whole evening went smoothly - highly recommend! I must say all staff at this hotel are so friendly, helpful and make the whole visit so easy and enjoyable. Thank you for a lovely weekend 🥂🎄

I was surprised by the prices. Egg and ham was for £16. Then I was surprised by the quality of the food. I can pay that much if the food is as good as there. What I didn't like was sitting area outside. Concrete everywhere no plants or flowers and sits was semi comfortable. Inside looks much better.

We had a delicious Sunday lunch with good wine to match. Nice atmosphere and friendly service. Definitely recommend a visit
