Grandparents are less mobile than before and we're looking for a good restaurant that we can all meet up at, somewhere between Charlton and Strood essentially, ideally in the A2/A20 belt or close enough to either to be a fairly simple drive. Not that fussed on cuisine, just want somewhere halfway decent for a birthday meal that would be easy enough for a group of 8 to book (early November)

    If you like Italian then I could recommend the coach house which is in Ruxley Manor garden centre, not the cheapest mind you and not open most Sundays or Mondays.

    Bartellas on the A227 Wrotham Road is a great restaurant. Always friendly service and good food.

    Friend of mine always raves about the Hengist in Aylesbury. Never been myself but he really likes it. He is a Palarse fan though, so can't promise anything about his taste or judgement.

    Aylesford not Aylesbury. It’s very good

    Stuzzichini (Italian) in Bexleyheath is superb … I go there regularly. 

    Also Shampan Falconwood, excellent Indian cuisine

    Three Crutches in Higham does a decent meal and has some good beers on tap.

    +1 hilltop. Owner Darren is a good laugh and some very interesting history associated with the building (great train robbers and reggae club nights, not at the same time).

    I'll give the moat a vote. Only been once but 14 of us went there a few months back and every single one of us thought the food was top notch. Defo need to go back there.

    I like that one. A real old school Italian, never has to my knowledge changed a thing on its menu in the past 20 years or more. I think I'm correct in saying they are Charlton supporters, they used to have a few pictures up on the walls.
    They also own Du Amici in Chislehurst, which I think is a lot better although is very much similar to Ruxley in terms of menu and atmos.

    Great character. Excellent food but not always easy to book as it's so popular.

    Cheers all, apparently the grands love Bartella's so we're off to them
