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!

Great pub, has become our local even though we live 20 mins away. Staff are great always friendly and the food is amazing, great chef 👌, bar staff are great Chaz such a lovely lady and a good laugh always, Lisa the owner is also very welcoming, gave me a free whisky on my birthday. Want a great pub with great food and environment go here.

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!

We love the food here as the general, the Sunday & specials menus are all full of great choices. We have always had excellent food & service. My only slight criticism is that the last time we went the recipe seemed to have changed on the beetroot/liquorice cheesecake which was my absolute favourite but hey ho it means that I need to try other desserts & find a new go to! Have never stayed here however we have thought about it so that we can relax & enjoy some drinks too, especially as the rooms & the breakfast look amazing!

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 🥂🎄

Poor customer service. Disrespectful staff. Hot chocolate drinks not very hot. Chai latte tasteless. Took latte back to staff. Explained the situation. Drink poured down sink without explanation. Expected refund as a result however none offered and when asked no comment or explanation from staff just a shoulder shrug. Do not recommend that you waste your money here.

We booked The George for a birthday brunch and highly recommend it. A lovely cosy village pub with friendly staff, good coffee and a great brunch menu with classics and less traditional options. We tried the smoked eel and will definitely be back for more!
