Our last visit to the hooden ditch. It's plain to see that the owners of the Hooden horse only care about profit and not customer satisfaction. My wife and I went for a meal on Monday 17/3 and it was evident that the company only buy the cheapest of the cheap food from their suppliers. I had the Monterey jack burger that was flavourless and disappointing and the chips had been double fried. My wife was really looking forward to the full monty mixed grill but, again, left wanting. The chicken was dry, the sausages were tasteless and we couldn't even cut the steak it was so fatty. Even the waitress could see me struggling to cut it for my wife. The only good thing was that the waitress offered to replace it ( I think she was probably a manager, as she seemed the only person to actually care )Thank you for offering to replace it. I should of known it was going to be another bad experience when I went to get the cutlery only to find it was grubby and smeary. Obviously too cheap to polish. We won't be returning as we want to spend our hard earned money on something we will actually enjoy. Now let's get ready for the generic unfelt response.

A really fabulous place. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. Excellent ribs! Big shout out to Jess. Staff were cheerful, friendly and attentive without being pushy. When I find myself back in the area I will definitely return.

absolutely lovely place. came to the area to go to port lympne and needed a bite to eat for the evening. even though it was busy the lovely staff made time for us. one guy in particular (alex) was lovely and gave us recommendations for the food. i am gluten free and i found that although there weren’t lots of options, the options given to me were gorgeous. thank u for having us ! 🙌🏻

We had a delicious meal here! Even though it was a Saturday evening and we hadn’t booked, they found a table for us. Alex was attentive, friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. The HFC burger was divine and my husband thoroughly enjoyed the ribs. We would 100% return here, if in the area. I would highly recommend this bar/grill - we had a lush evening !

Fantastic. Was staying in Ashford for the weekend meeting up with family, the food was amazing, service was amazing the whole evening was elevated by the atmosphere and friendliness of all staff. This may sound ott to some but honestly it was some of the best food I've eaten. A big thank you to all, we will be returning all the way from Devon. Honestly can't praise you enough 6☆

Returned to eat as previously had some great food and evenings. Slightly underwhelmed on this trip. Food was cooked ok. Menu has reduced and some items out of stock. Chicken fajitas needed more chicken, chicken and gammon pie seems to be straight from brake bros but I guess was acceptable. Onion rings needed to see onions. Biggest asset is the staff that were 5 star. Note to the owner to make improvements on the menu and if that means a slight increase in cost that would be a cost worth paying

Total nice suprize!! it's literally a cellar pub restaurant which also has a sizable outdoor rear beer garden for summer days. Upon our 'newbee' 1st arrival we intially wondered if we were at the location as its totally hidden from aside there small car park. Its has steps and a barrel slope ( so wheel chair access to the entrance, I'd say only possible if you get some help if yr alone, weaker or elderly your need to well control the decent / much tougher accent etc ). The steps lead down left side of car park towards Entrance (hence the cellar name). We did get parked in there car park ( abeit a very small one, so park wisely, So you can get back out! Without hailing the pub or a fuss - Maybe park along the Street). Our initial newbee concerns were soothed once we stepped inside , wow - how lovely is this - went through my mind. We Unbeknowingly had simply beat the mid week lunch crowd, as others soon piled in, and yes a couple that were their / left before us, got there car blocked in car pk 🙄 We visited during winter, so brrr staying inside inside the cosy fireplace bar area . Its a little PUB but with wonderful character! Just what we like, a Little hidden gem !! from road side as Entrance Between row of normal looking street houses. The Restaurant food was super the lunch 3 course menu was varied, we had the 3 course deal, it was very nice adequately filling etc. Our choice being the haddock meals and the chicken and gammon pie meal. All were really nice an hot very tasty too. Bar has variety of drinks on tap.

Popped in for lunch without a reservation which was no problem at all, we had our dog with us and he was welcomed too. We were sat by a lovely wood burner and both ordered the fajitas which were lovely. We were served by Clara who was really attentive, even offered water for the dog. The menu is smokehouse so something different, really sweet outdoor space as well. Would really recommend a visit to this pub!

We had a fabulous evening here last night. We were a group of 12 celebrating Christmas with the set two or three course meal. I have been here many times before and the team have never let me down The food was excellent (mine was Baked Camembert to start, perfectly gooey and warm. Duck breast, perfectly cooked and with a delicious cheesy potato side) Alex was a brilliant host, perfectly pandering to the wants of a group of 'ladies of a certain age' 😂 , making sure our contrary needs were catered for perfectly. Service was timely, not rushed at all and the welcome was as warm as it always is. And value for money? Outstanding!

For some reason delivery drivers do not frequent Hooden, or atleast this is what they state. Food was ready quick and due to late delivery, it wasn't as hot and very soggy. Chips were dry, stale and inedible. Wings were tough but flavor was decent. Won't order again.

Visited this lovely bar and grill on a whim on the way to the Cliffs Of Dover. Did not regret that decision for a second, this Bar/Grill has a beautiful traditional interior with modern amenities, the staff are welcoming and attentive, our drinks, a lemonade and a Gin and Tonic were brought to our table so quickly and perfectly chilled with generous measurements. We ordered the HFC burger and a Bacon and Brie toasted Ciabatta with a side of onion rings. The burger had a perfectly crispy piece of fried chicken and a delicious hash brown, the perfect amount of Buffalo sauce and garlic mayo and was a great size. The Bacon and Brie Ciabatta had fantastically cooked smoked bacon a large portion of Brie and delicious caramelised onion. The onion rings were light with crispy batter and not greasy at all as onion rings so often can be. The true highlight were the chicken salt fries which were skin on, cooked to perfection and seasoned with chicken salt which were absolutely amazing. We enjoyed this so much that we had to find out about desserts, we ordered the cheesecake of the week which was vanilla and chocolate with ice cream on the side and a traditional Banoffee Pie, again both of these were a great size and beautifully made, enjoyed both thoroughly. We finished off with a tea and coffee, perfect end to a lovely meal. The dining area was clean, tidy and welcoming, tables and dining wear was spotless. We adored our visit start to finish and would give this wonderful place and massive recommendation.

No sense of client service.... Ok. Mistakes can happen, so when they happen it is how you respond that shows your quality. Our main course order took 90+ minutes to arrive. No explanation, no apology and no commercial gesture to compensate. Even once it was clear we'd been forgotten, the team didn't try to let us know how much longer we'd have to wait. The food was good, but I would never go back given their total lack of effort to redress the error. Very poor indeed.

Lovely, traditional pub. Looks really tiny from the front but go down the steps and inside or into the fantastic outdoor seating area and garden and you'll find this place is an absolute TARDIS! Staff are very friendly and always meet you with a warm welcome. If you pay a return visit, they'll inevitably remember you and treat you like a great friend. Food here has always been nice but over the years, they've just nailed down what they're good at and the Hooden burger is a great example and the chicken salt fries are just too good. Music events, beer festivals, great people. What more could you want from a pub?

Waiting staff were good and attentive let down by slow service from the kitchen, and it wasn’t really busy but 2 of us had plates with chipped plates , how does a chef let that happen when he is plating up ? No , we said nothing at the time as it was a birthday dinner and we didn’t want to upset the birthday girl by complaining but it’s not something that should happen . Food was ok but not as great as we expected , the steaks were good , main courses were good but the starters were very small , we weren’t allowed to eat the birthday cake we had bought with us ( I understand why ) but they did bring it to the table with the candles lit which was appreciated.

Nice place, made a quick stop from the Eurotunnel, I had the pulled pork which was nice. Kids had chicken burger which she demolished and fish for the other one and the middle one had a hotdog. All and all a nice pub with nice people in a (as far as I could tell) small town next to the motorway.

We went to the Hooden tonight for a family dinner and OMG it didn’t disappoint in any way. The staff where super friendly and helpful throughout our visit. The food came out in good time and was absolutely delicious and we all left with very full bellies with only a starter and main. The facilities where easily accessible,very clean and the whole place was family friendly. Can’t recommend this place enough and we will definitely be returning.

Popped in on Friday night.. portion size on the pan seared chicken was unbelievable, very small.. Bar staff and their friends ruined a nice atmosphere with their antics at the bar

Really liked the atmosphere here and I liked overall aesthetic of the business! Personally I think it's good that there is a automatic fee for the waiter/waitress as it is more fair for them and I understand that not everyone has as much cash on them (as they used to). Only downside is the parking is rubbish and when we came back to the car, our car was blocked in so slight effort/shimmey to get out out! But we managed it in the end. Overall I loved our experience here and the food that was recommended to us was lovely. (+ a refreshing cocktail 🍹) I would 1000% be back to eat here again. Ta x
