What a fantastic place! The food is totally exquisite and incredible value for such top Michelin star food! Really lovely food in a beautiful restaurant.

Visited yesterday and four of us had the roast turkey from the Christmas menu. It was amazing! Lots of delicious turkey and beautifully cooked vegetables. Definitely the best turkey dinner from a restaurant. All the meals we saw looked very tasty. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, the ambience was good and I can't find any fault whatsoever. Unfortunately I live over forty miles away so can't visit that often but definitely worth the journey!

My wife and I had a rare evening to be able to go out. We were greeted by Belle one of our servers, she was professional and extremely welcoming, the food was incredibly and could not be faulted, both of our server's (Belle & Elijah) were extremely knowledgeable and attentive, all round the food and service was a wonderful experience, highly recommended, thank you, Lee & Jo

A laid back country pub with a lovely ambience, serving wonderful food made from the best local, seasonal produce. Definitely deserves its Michelin star.

We went for the tasting menu. The flavours were good, but every dish was far too salty. I couldn’t finish my food, not because I was full, but because of there being too much salt. Not what I expect do the price. The cocktails were good.

We arrived at the Fordwich arms at 06:30 on a Saturday night and initially we were offered a table in the bar area which we were not happy about. We asked if there was a better table and were shown into the much prettier atmospheric dining room. We ordered wine and our food choosing the a la cart menu. The pre dinner snacks were beautifully presented and delicious. Gone in a flash! Then a bread course, delicious with lovely butter. 3 of us had the parfait which was delicious and served with beautiful savoury donuts. Venison main was delicious as well however we did feel that for the money the main course consisted of a very small portion ( one wee slice) of venison with accompaniments. Delicious deserts. The service was outstanding - very pleasant professional staff. I’ve not given 5 stars as we all thought that although all delicious and great service the portions for us at £75 a head were too small.

I found the highly rated resaturant over hyped and rather disapponiting, it used unecessary effects with boxrc , coffee beans etc to try and upgrade rather mediocre offerings, for a point that was lost on me. Some food was overcooked, the monkfish, for my taste, and generally food was oversalted, as is often case in michellin places

Some very tasty morsels but overall a bit disappointing. Went there for a special occasion but felt it was a bit lacklustre. Dining room was ok (just an old pub room), no table linen. Wine list was good but extremely pricey. Food was generally good but didn’t get the wow we were expecting. Each dish is delivered with a lot of drama and not a lot of substance. Not for us. Won’t be returning

Tonight we popped into the other Michelin star pub near to our base, The Fordwich Arms, I. England’s smallest town of Fordwich. This pub offers a seasonal menu focus on provenance, showcasing the best of local Kentish ingredients, sourced directly from local farms and producers. We opted for the a la carte tonight. I went for the BBQ lobster, grape & spiced butter sauce , not worth the £25 extra cost. However, the raw Orkney scallop was a hit around the table. Shame only one of us ordered it. Only negative was the slow service and plates left on table for too long. Having to wait 30 mins between mains and deserts with plates still on the table was unacceptable. Due to the time of our pickup by taxi we had to rush the last course

We took my mum out for her birthday and was more than disappointed at arriving at the Fordwich Arms with not even a warm welcome or greeting. Just received a bland "do you have a reservation or do you just want a drink" There were free tables everywhere and when we asked if we needed to book they said they would see if they could fit us in?! Very cold, not a warm pub anymore more just a business meeting place for al a carte stupidly priced menu. Would not recommend.

Lovely atmosphere, came here on a blustery winters day and it was cosy, warm and the perfect place for our 3 hour long lunch! We had the tasting menu with optional lobster course and each course was presented creatively with flair, and the quality of...

Incredible food, knowledgeable and friendly and a lovely experience. Really enjoyed the turbot with various accompaniments and the mini cigar with caramelised shallot. Will be returning.

Nice ambience and friendly staff. Bagels..... But little else on offer. That said my crushed avocado 🥑 and smoked salmon was spot on. It just needs a menu that offers more variety..... Quiches, Homemade Soups would be great additions. Located in The Old Town Hall. Fully Licensed and Coffee/Cake for afters.

The Ship Centurionlocation-icon111 High StreetOther cuisines

Booked a table because the England v Scotland Rugby match was on. Good job as the place was full. They had said burgers only. All the burgers had a six nations theme. But I managed to get the regular menu, so I had the bangbang prawns and pork belly bites. My brother had the Irish burger with fries. This was a double beef smash patty with caramelized onions, streaky bacon, and guiness Irish stout bbq sauce. The food was good, hot and tasty. We had a front row table. Great service, so on the way out, we booked for the next match two weeks' time same table. Hope for a better result for England.

The Kitchen at The Beaneylocation-iconThe Beaney House of Art & Knowledge, 18 High StreetOther cuisines

The Beaney Cafe is spacious with high ceilings and probably a good place to meet with friends if you are a little bit unsure about meeting in a public place at the moment. The Earl Grey Cake was absolutely delicious and the staff, as always, are very obliging and friendly. Definitely recommend this as a place to meet with friends during this Coronovirus situation, as long as they stay open!
