About Jenny Wren
On Staplehurst Rd, Jenny Wren is a pub with a pizza kitchen alongside a menu that runs to hunters chicken, burgers, and beef pie. Seating is split between a front garden, a patio, and the bar area, and orders are placed at the table through an app. An outdoor play area includes a large wooden train for kids to climb into. Grill nights and pizza nights run alongside the regular menu, and the drinks list covers craft beers and real ales, a range of wines including prosecco and champagne, plus spirits and soft drinks. It is a walk-in pub, no reservations, and stands within walking distance of town while keeping a countryside feel. During busier periods, main courses can take up to an hour to reach the table.

“What makes The Jenny Wren a great place to eat out in Kent? Well, there’s our pizza kitchen for starters. Then there’s the patio, perfect for alfresco eating and drinking on fine days. Let’s not forget the outdoor play area. You can do swings and slides at the park anytime. They’re nowhere near as exciting as a big wooden train the kids can climb into! That’s just the beginning. Craft beers and real ales are our speciality. More of a wine drinker? We’ve got red, wine, rose, prosecco, and champagne. Take your pick. A wide range of spirits, juices, soft drinks, and hot drinks are also available. Pop over to the Jenny Wren for our Grill nights and Pizza nights. They're our speciality! Or, if you're after something more comforting, bring the...”

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers repeatedly point to the hunters chicken, whether as a baguette or the full dish, as a favourite, with pizzas and an "awesome" burger paired with a Guinness also drawing praise. Many describe the food as hot, quick, and well served, with a friendly, kind staff and good atmosphere, especially in the pub garden and around the app-ordering setup. But a real split emerges: several diners report slow mains, cold or small portions, and one describes a sharp decline from previous visits, citing greasy onion rings, skinned-over mayonnaise, and chicken wings served without the promised heat. Another reviewer calls a beef pie only warmish and a fish dish overpriced at fifteen pounds. One wheelchair user found staff accommodating and had no access complaints, though wished allergy items could be edited from orders. Empty glasses left uncollected and stressed-seeming staff during a busy Sunday also come up. Several say they'd return and recommend it.

“Really disappointing experience at Jenny Wren Pub. The food was poor quality and seriously overpriced. The beef pie was only warmish, with barely warm gravy and not even a small salad on the side. The kebab was basically two pieces of meat with naan bread, which was shocking for the price. The fish was just plain white fish for £15 and seemed to have been cooked in old oil, leaving a very heavy feeling afterwards. Overall, very poor food and definitely not worth the money. Never again.”

“Myself, my partner and our 6 year old went to the Jenny Wren as a last minute decision to have dinner. We had never been before, but it hugely exceeded our expectations! The staff were very kind and helpful, the food was very good and they were offering 40% off mains!”

“Atmosphere in the pub garden out the front was good. The barmaid i spoke to seemed friendly. My food order did seem to take a bit longer than expected, but i do appreciate it was busy. The hunters chicken bagette was delicious! I'll be back to try other items on the menu soon!”
