I discovered The Fountain at the beginning of the year and it's now my favourite local! I was made to feel very welcome by the landlady and landlord, as well as all the staff. The food is great, traditional, honest, good value meals. The pub has regular bands, open mic nights, karaoke and lots of other events which are always well attended. Top marks!

Very slow and disorganised at the bar. No written menu, just had to rely on verbal memory. Food very slow in coming but plentiful and good when it arrived. People friendly but didn't seem to be in control.

Stewart and co were nothing short of the most welcoming hosts we've found. We called ahead and found we could park our camper there overnight and take our dog. Good drink and good food. Very attentive (allowing us to watch the rugby) and had a charity night of bands playing. Right by the coast too! We will definitely be back in warmer weather to make the most of the hospitality, and garden. Thank you all!

NOT ONLY IS THE FOOD BADDD!!! BE WARNED!! BUT THE ATTITUDE WAS EVEN WORSE!!! QUATING"eat your food and get out!! no sorry, no how can we make it better or would you like something else, no attitude from both owner! Also not to mention the bloke was drinking!! You can tell he had a few! 🙄 😐 Food was burned to a charcoal, the Yorkshire was black and the potatoes are ready to use as brick, broke my tooth! Could do with compensation as dentist is not cheap! Payed full money as I didn't come out for a fee meal I wanted so good food but all the reviews are deceiving! To say the least, also they don't have good beers also ordinary bitter which is my grandads favourite!! Very disappointed!!!😞

Abusing the government apprenticeship scheme to get around paying minimum wage. I would love what aspects of bar work take a year of working 12 hour shifts at £4.30 to learn ?. These "apprenticeships" take advantage of the current economic down turn praying on the young and desperate. With the average rent for a bedsit in the CT21 area at £675 pcm and the price of food increasing by 3.2% in August alone, I would also love to know how anyone is expected to survive whilst undertaking this "apprenticeship" ?. You should really be ashamed of yourselves. If you cannot afford to hire staff without exploiting them you should really ask yourself if you should be hiring at all ?. I'll definitely make sure not to step place in this establishment again.

A bit of a refurb going on in the garden so can't give a proper review. However the staff/owners were very friendly and from what I saw in the main bar the decor looked lovely and traditional. It's on a busy junction but as I've mentioned there is a garden with covered seating areas, always a plus in the winter. I haven't had the full experience so can't really comment more.

Had a really lovely time here, we were staying at the hotel down the road for a wedding. The landlords went over and beyond. Food was lovely. Staff amazing and they catered for over 25 last minutes. Our son made a new friend (the landlady's granddaughter) we played pool, got tipsy, they played some music for us, so we danced and sang wedding songs. Genuinely had a brill time. Thanks guys

Only went for a couple of pints with family. Sat in the beer garden which if i'm honest could be kept maybe a bit better. Really friendly staff both staff members we spoke to were every so talkative. Didn't go inside because lovely weather, but close to the beach plenty of outside seating but just missing that attention to detail for the garden. Given a 4 but maybe should be a 3...staff made me swing towards a 4..

Have sadly attended 2 wakes here in a past few weeks. WOW. what a spread they put on. They had it all. Hot/cold food, cheese boards, cakes, sandwiches, selection of cold meats. What a lovely atmosphere, the staff were friendly and attentive, and fabulous hosts on both occasions. The second wake was an afternoon tea, this was just as splendid. If you are planning a party/wake or just an afternoon tea then this is the place to go... I've heard they do a mean carvery on a sunday too

The ambience was good plus service excellent however the ox cheek was slightly off .Fresh cuts I would recommend if they are marinating in wine over knight .My partner enjoyed the bangers and mash .I did enjoy the cabbage and the gravy though and food presentation went well with the red wine .It’s a sad shame that they no longer serve ravioli .This is one of the places that had that good ravioli .

Went for Sunday carvery, which was superb. Staff also very friendly and helpful. My mum has mobility issues and the guy serving noticed this, waited while we got her food for her before serving us. Good idea to call you up by table number so there's aren't big queues when getting your food.
