We visited this earlier in the year and had a great meal and service , so decided to book for 6 of us for the Christmas menu. We were certainly not disappointed. The pub was wonderfully decorated for Christmas , with a huge advent calendar and kits of twinkly lights and decorations. We had the three course menu which was beautifully presented and tasted as good as it looked. The veg option was also excellent. Very reasonably priced too. The lovely young girl who served us was very helpful too. We would def recommend you trying it if you can and we will be back. Compliments to the chef. 10/10.

I have been to this pub several times and it seemed to be struggling, things were just not quit right, now though I think they have got it right, the menu has been changed the decor looks great and the atmosphere seems to be back, it is definitely worth checking out. It has a nice warm welcoming feel to it now. and the menu looks good to.

This place is a winner. Whole roast chicken for 2 people £32. Fantastic. 😃 Best Sunday roast I've had for ages. Really good. More chicken than you know what to do with. Loads of it. They let Dogs in as well. Our Doggy will eat well tonight with the Doggy bag. Definitely come back here. Bargain. 🐕 🍗 😋

We booked in advance online which was easy. When we arrived we had a drink at the bar first which was fine then went to our table. From that point I think we were forgotten. We waited around 10 minutes for a waiter and no one came over. I had to get up and ask to order. Our meals arrived and then it took over 5 minutes to get mayonnaise and ketchup and again I had to ask what was going on. No one checked on us or asked if we wanted anything else. It was all a bit lame. The only guy that knew what he was doing appeared to be the barman and he was great. The mains were fine but the sticky toffee pudding was well below the standard of the other food so it was a dissapointing end to the meal. I was surprised to see that I had paid a 10% service fee, if I had known this in advance I would most certainly have removed it. If only the waiting staff were more attentive then this place would be great. So dissapointing for a Sunday lunch.

First visit for Sunday lunch and I had the Salmon Nicoise Salad which was fantastic. Beautifully presented, delicious and plentiful. I often feel let down by anything to do with a salad so this was a very welcome change. Pudding was sticky toffee which was tasty and light with a generous scoop of ice cream and sauce. The staff were attentive and engaging. Thanks team, we all enjoyed ourselves very much.

Visited here a few weeks ago with my two adult sons and daughter -in-law the food was lovely but upon waiting at the bar for ten minutes to pay the bill we were subjected to a loud, performative homophobic conversation between who I can only assume were locals at the bar and some of the bar staff. The landlady was in full earshot of this and said absolutely nothing. It made us feel extremely uncomfortable and for this reason we would never visit again. Do better, it’s 2024.

Hugely disappointing experience. If you’re planning on going for food you might as well save yourself the bother and get something out of the freezer because that’s what they do! Fish and chips was a particular letdown, small portion and soggy batter. Chicken burger looked like a kids meal and sea bass was served on a bed of whole new potatoes and some tomatoes on top. Sounds better than it was as no seasoning, no sauce, no real cooking cheffing shown and no flavour. Bar staff were attentive and gave good customer service. Young waitress was uninterested and when asked politely for some tomato sauce with the fish and chips she audibly sighed and said she would see if they had any. Overall a place to miss.

Had our wedding reception here and James the landlord was absolutely astounding. He had clearly worked so hard to make sure we had an excellent time and we felt so looked after and we didn't have to worry about a thing. The food was exquisite - both the meals and the buffet. The staff were wonderful - so helpful and welcoming. And James has done such a fantastic job on the pub itself - the interior is kept beautifully, and the outdoor areas are clean and very well presented. Highly, highly recommend this place for holding an event, or even just popping in for a drink and meal. James made sure our day went so well, and we will be forever grateful for that 🙂

We didn't get to eat here. It was a Thursday evening 7.30 and 4 of us arrived (not booked) and asked for a table. There was a surly female member of staff behind the bar who said "no, kitchens closed" and that was it - no explanation or anything. It's a shame because this used to be quite a regular for us but if this is how it goes we won't be inclined to go again. Such a shame.

The best chips I've eaten in ages, I wasn't as keen on the batter, but the fish was well cooked, so I was happy to eat it without the batter. Sadly my friends' potatoes were undercooked. They did ask if our food was okay, but they hadn't tried the potatoes at that time. The other problem was that the ladies Loos did not have a working lock on the door. Would I go back, definitely.

First impressions from outside are a bit tired but we thought we would take a look anyway. Inside its quite nice, menus are standard but a nice looking place with an open fire so we stopped. Nice pint, gammon, egg, chips peas / scampi, chips, peas ordered. Food arrives, hmm I thought I ordered gammon but I have cold ham on the plate so i question, waitress acts like she doesn't understand and comes back saying the chef says that's right, I ask to see the menu just to check and point out it does not say ham but I'm getting nowhere, she acts dismissive and gruff. I accept the food anyway as my partner is eating. Hers was nice apart from the bullets. Ham was tough, clearly a small cheap cut of gammon cooked as ham and the peas were like bullets. This was neither a gammon or a ham. I paid the bill minus the service charge as it was so great and left. First time and the last.

Went for lunch and the signs were already there before we entered. The car park featured a huge pile of rubbish including a mattress and the outside of the pub now looks completely neglected. Walked in and it was freezing cold. All the blinds and curtains were closed so it was dark too - the weather was gloriously sunny and it would have been so much nicer to have let some light in, but we were told that the windows and doors let so much cold air in. Ordered the 4 for 3 light bites/tapas and they took an hour to arrive despite the pub being pretty empty. We sat in our coats the whole time, as did all the other diners. The food itself all tasted of deep fat fryer oil. Used to love this pub and am so sad to see it has gone downhill this fast. We won't be coming back sadly.

Don't bother. The owner is a very rude man!!! as a party of seven we booked for the fish and chip and wine offer on a Friday evening, we were called half an hour before arrival to be told that there was no fish, so the offer was off! We went anyway and ordered from the regular menu, when the food arrived one of the party was not happy with the meal, the level of rudeness from the chef/owner was unbelievable, such a shame as we had really like this pub before the new owner took over, needless to say we will NEVER go back. Please don't go there... Dreadful and unbelievable and embarrassing scene that the owner caused in front of his other guests.

We arrived to be told the pork and chicken roasts had run out bare in mind we arrived at 2.30pm in the afternoon We then waited for our roast to arrive for the four of us only for three to turn up of roast beef. Then it gets worse they come over and announce that the roast beef has run out. So one of us is out of food. I offered to take one for the team and have the veggie alternative the only option left. I explained I did not want to pay for it as it is not what I ordered. The manager came over with zero apology and said I could have half price for a dinner I did not want. Safe to say I won’t be returning. What a joke.

Visited with work colleagues for our Christmas lunch. Lovely restaurant all decked out with traditional decorations and log burner burning away which made it really cosy. Had the three course meal from the Christmas menu. All our food was very tasty. Have to say though the star of the whole thing were the roast potatoes. They were fluffy inside with a crispy outside. By far the best I’ve ever had. I could quite happily have just had a plate of them! We had preordered so didn’t have to wait for our food. After our mains we were asked if we wanted to wait for our dessert or have it straight away. This was a nice touch. Overall an excellent experience and certainly would look at returning.

We have used this pub alot in the past. We heard it had changed hands so arranged to meet our friends here. We were so looking forward to this evening, meeting friends that we hadn't seen for some time.When we arrived we were asked what drinks we would like, my husband asked what ales they had, he was told Harveys was all they had - not any choice? When the man brought the drinks to the table we couldn't help but notice how black it was under his finger nails. Offputting when serving drinks and food. It came to ordering food and one of our friends asked if there was a christmas menu. She was met with an abrupt "Yes but it needs to be pre ordered, it says so on the website". Being honest, having used this pub so many times in the past we hadn't looked at the website. Perhaps we should have done, but customer service is key. The food when it came was really good. Sadly the service left alot to be desired. We had to ask for drinks when we wanted them and once the food was delivered we were not asked if everything was ok with our meals, (It was but it is polite to ask and good customer service). A lady appeared at 9.40 and said here's your bill we close in 20 minutes. We asked if we could have another drink but were told "no probably not".As the service was poor, my husband asked not to pay the service charge but was told twice by the lady that the bill included it. My husband said again he would pay minus the service charge (it is optional I believe). The lady went off in a huff and after muttering to a colleague, came back and took the payment. She then asked my husband why he wouldn't pay the service charge, saying everyone charges it. This we all found quite rude. Sadly this has not left us wanting to return or recommend to others. Under new management we thought you would be trying to attract and keep customers. So sad as the food was great.

Seems like a really nice local pub and the food was really nice, such a shame the atmosphere was off, service was non existent and with kids we kept feeling like we had to go up and ask for cutlery, sauces, drinks, food etc. Contested the service at the bill as we felt we received none, and was then made to feel awkward and basically ignored by Manager. Such a shame, as the food was great.

This pub did not live up to any of the reviews we looked at prior to booking. We were on holiday from Australia and booked this venue so as to meet up with an old friend for Sunday lunch on 16 July 2023. The staff were more interested in talking amongst themselves and the only times we had any attention was when we approached them. We realise the building is quite old but there was a damp musty odour throughout. The Sunday lunch was pretty mediocre - the beef. instead of being carved in nice slices, was just a lump of meat with gristle in it plus the so called "roast potatoes" were undercooked and quite hard. All in all the ambience was very poor and we are pleased that we do not have to go there again. There were very few people eating lunch there and we can understand why. Do yourself favour and give it a miss. Daniel Carraway Queensland Australia

Feeling hungry, we diverted off our route to the coast and found ourselves in Frant and the Abergavenny Arms. We were shown to a table and given a menu and advice on a light lunch. There was a long list of tapas dishes, which we...

Just popped in for a quick pint on a hot afternoon, great pint of Harvey's cask ale. Great views of Kent countryside.

Found this pub driving home very glad that we did. Staff were very friendly and brilliant to talk to and happy to offer advice on the food. Food was great extremely tasty and a gap between starter and main. Certainly would go back there.

The place is so Quaint and the food is delicious. I just wish servers would listen to what the customers say I had water with lime in it and I already had it mixed in the line was squeeze to perfection and the server came back by and I and he asked me if I wanted more water and I said yes, for halfway to the top of this ice.Keep gave me a full glass of water, or nearly.It would not be a big deal, but the fact is, I explicitly asked for him to fill it halfway again.These servers, these days, they're just giving you what they want to have, they're not understanding in our paying attention, but they want to get a great tip fortunate for them. We tip well my boyfriend and I. But I am really getting aggravated with this. So overall, the meal was fine.It's just at these people do not listen.

This is my favorite tea shop. I love the rose cake and the scones are my favorite. They are so delicious. I want to go there every day. I am happy every time I visit here with my husband and my dog. The atmosphere is comfortable and the cake is delicious. The taste of the tea is good.

Really disappointed. Arrived at 4ish on a Tuesday in half term with our 15 and 11 year old to a completely empty pub, just one patron sat at the bar. Really lovely cosy large area next to the fire that was empty but immediately told by bar staff we couldn't sit there with children due to licensing rules! We were allowed to sit in the drafty back lobby by the gents loos - not so great. Weird atmosphere, we clearly weren't welcome, shame as we'd planned a few rounds and dinner but we headed back to our local accommodation instead. Looked like a really quaint pub just wish we'd realised it wasn't somewhere for families.

We had a meal here on Saturday as they were advertising a new menu. I had the salmon and my husband had the stuffed pork chop. Both dishes were so so lovely. The flavours were so fresh and the portions were really good as well. My husband said he hasn’t had a pork joint like it before and was blown away. You won’t be disappointed with the food here and we are fussy. The staff are all so lovely and really attentive. We will def be back soon
