  “The pub itself is cosy and clean, and the food is good, but not excellent. Roast potatoes are not crispy at all which lets down the roast but other than that, was a good solid Sunday lunch. The service needs work, our table of two waited 45 minutes for our food, and a nearby table of 4 waited closer to an hour. I feel like that is very excessive and we weren’t made aware at the time of ordering, but I do think this sort of wait time should be communicated. We also had to ask twice for the bill and then ended up just walking to the till so we could leave. The staff seem very busy so I do feel sorry for them! The atmosphere is fine, feels like a restaurant if you sit inside, there are no tables for just having a drink, no seats at the bar etc. The outside feels like a pub which is nice but isn’t helpful for 6-7 months of the year.”

  “Had the best ham, egg and chips I've had in a very long time, great service, friendly staff, plenty of free parking in beautiful location. The pub was clean, we sat in the lovely garden where the seating was comfy, had a wobbly table but there was a stone provided to balance it out and it worked perfectly with beautiful parasols. Would highly recommend.”

  “Beautiful place in the rurals of Kent. The interior is wonderfully nostalgic with a library section with tables and plenty of references to the historical significance of the area dotted around the pub. The Food is excellent and the staff are friendly, professional and attentive. There's also a gorgeous outdoor & garden area for food and / or drink.”

  “We went as a party of 4 booked for 3.15pm on a Sunday. It was really busy when we arrived and was seated after buying our first round of drinks. Unfortunately we were forgotten after we were seated and after about 15 mins or so had to ask for menus. Then we was left a while again. We then flagged a member of staff and they took our order. We ordered starters and mains and the starters came after about 20 mins but then the mains took over half an hour and again we had to ask for an update and was told there had been a mix up with the orders and it wouldn't be long. The food itself was presented well and tasted really good. The portions were plentiful and all fresh produce. We left the pub near to 6pm which was probably an hour more than we anticipated but they are obviously really popular and so just bare that in mind especially on a Sunday if your in a rush or have appointments to be elsewhere. Other than that it was good.”

  “Great pub for food (and drinks of course). Very well presented and decorated. We couldn't make a booking over the phone, but tried our luck after a walk in the area. Fortunately they managed to accommodate us. It was absolutely packed. All four of us loved the food ordered. There's a nice wine cellar upstairs opposite the toilets, that can be seen by visitors. Also super well made framed caricatures on wine drinking, all over the walls of male toilets. I guess in the ladies too. Anyway, nice and friendly place, great food and atmosphere.”

  “Really good food that was beautifully cooked and well presented. The goat's cheese and the ham hock starters were particularly good. The sea bass was cooked just how I like it, with a crispy underside. And they managed to make the humble chicken breast into something especially tasty. I would have given them five stars but some of the waiting staff were quite disengaged and had virtually no knowledge of the menu regarding either food or drinks. But that did not spoil it being a very good meal.”

  “Came here with friends for lunch. You need to book a table, it's busy. Food was hot, tasty and plenty of it, you certainly get value for money. We didn't have to wait too long for food to arrive after ordering. Customer service was reasonable, but we were left waiting for service a couple of times, although they were busy. Arrived early to find carpark already full. Manager came to see we were satisfied and to make recommendations. Service charge was added to bill automatically.”

  “If I could give ten stars for food and service I would! The pub was busy but service was incredibly good and fast. The food was incredibly good. Plenty of choice on a Sunday and not just roasts. Landlord was present and so hospitable. Elysia served us and and brilliant - no idea why we’ve never been before but will be back in a heartbeat! Thank you so great food, amazing service and a lovely atmosphere for lunch ❤️”

  “Good level of parking at the restaurant with good access. We were greeted by good atmosphere as soon as we walked in. There was a nice clean feel when looking around and was sat down to our table quickly, we did book ahead as it was a Saturday night but there was still enough seating available. There was lots of seating indoors as well as outdoors. Food portions were good and tasted nice, it looked like the menu had been updated and printed daily which was different to what I had seen before. Overall nice experience and wasn’t a bad price for the two of us having three courses. I would highly recommend the chilli nachos as starter!”
