The Dartford Meet takes place every Third Tuesday in the Month and all are welcome :thumleft:

The location pub 'The Wharf' (pub/restaurant), Galleon Boulevard, Dartford, Kent DA2 6QE. They serve good, cheap food.... and are very friendly, with children welcome

Click here for location

IMPORTANT NOTICE - CHANGE OF VENUE FOR THE NEXT MEET. DETAILS FOLLOW BELOW

This month the meet will take place at The Lion in Farningham.

It's a Vintage Inns pub, only a couple of minutes further south along the M25. It's lovely inside with a mix of open areas and smaller more private spaces. The garden is huge and stretches out to a very pretty river. The menu is great and comparable in price to The Wharf while the food quality is much better. In addition to the regular pub grub they also do hand-stretched pizzas which are excellent. The dessert menu is more varied as well. There's loads of parking, either in the pub car park or over the road.

Pub website (with menu and visual walkthrough):

It's looking better already so it should be - and hopefully [-o< it will continue to improve on the numbers front from here, we've had a couple of months recently with not many there (one of the reasons we cancelled the December meet).

Absolutely, turn up when you can get there (I think they serve food until 9 if you won't have eaten before you come), we're usually still there until 10 if we leave early, gone 11 if we're still chatting. :blahblah:
