New Flying Horse Inn Restaurant in Ashford

It was ok and thought we had found a real gem, however…….very slim pickings on the menu, 2 of the 6 mains were sold out even at 6pm. So thank good for the specials board. The food good can’t fault that, but don’t have the steak if you like it blue as they won’t accommodate it. Staff were a real struggle though a lovely lad in there but the female side was just god awful. Did not make for a warm welcome and consistently reminded us that they needed the table at a certain time, (which believe you me, we knew already) practically ushered us from our seats, to which made us not want another drink in the bar area. Refused to serve my 22 year old daughter alcohol, even though she had a work lanyard to which they snuffed (hey ho their pub 🤷🏼‍♀️) but not great for her after hard shift on a Saturday!! So no rush at all to go back. Thankfully have found another pub 10 mins away which is just fab!!

So impressed with the overall experience of a Monday lunch at the Flying Horse: warm welcome and friendly service throughout; a really interesting lunch menu, with brilliant, freshly prepared dishes; decent Shepherd Neame Master Brew at a very sensible price; and the whole place immaculate and smartly presented. Oh, and Wye is a beautiful (large) village, and we got there after following the stimulating and varied 7 mile walk posted by the pub itself on its website. Perfect!

I love this pub and the ambience. Usually, the food is spot on. Sadly for my Daughter and I not today. We had fish and chips and it was very oily. We did speak to the young girl but I don’t think she forwarded our comments. Which I am sure they would have liked to know. The lovely lady who first served us (blonde and smiley) is always warm and friendly. We didn’t feel the girls had the same customer service/friendly vibe? It is such a shame because we are usually happy.

We had a super meal. Everything was delicious and nicely presented. Staff were friendly and helpful. We would highly recommend and will definitely go back.

Visited the New Fly with friends for my birthday. Was slightly unsure as a coeliac, as their online menu didn’t specify gluten free options. However, the waiting staff were well-trained and checked instantly with the chef. They were able to give a range of options, which made me feel comfortable and calm. A delicious meal, cosy atmosphere and definitely a good choice if you’re gluten free! Will become a regular spot for us now.

Absolutely awful! We had a “buffet” if you can it that! Disgusting sandwiches slung on a plate, one was filled with pork bits and apple sauce! Looked like jello! Not one of our vegetarian family members were catered for even though we asked in advance! Few very basic sausage rolls, no presentation skills were there! Staff were uninterested and sullen and stood about not a smile or welcome was granted. Such a shame as the place was lovely!

Exceptional food for a village pub and very friendly and efficient service. We only wish we had a pub this good where we live! Will definitely be recommending this unexpected gem in Wye.

A very pleasant experience. Sat outside on a hot day and enjoyed pre dinner drinks followed by a perfectly cooked meal. The staff were outstandingly helpful and polite. An innovative menu, especially the starters on offer.

Service was excellent and some lovely little complementary croquets to start. Food was delicious. I had the lamb pie with vegetables. The mussels to start were amazing. We had a lovely Spanish 🇪🇸 Rioja wine 🍷that was really good and only £29 a bottle. All in all a great dinner.

We visited with my sister and her husband to celebrate my birthday, we were not disappointed, very good food, service and the prices are very reasonable given the food quality. Thankyou

Between the 8 of us we tried quite a few different menu items and apart from slightly dry ends on our fish all the food was excellent: Bresaola; cheese; game terrine; lamb pie; chicken; steak; fish: kids sausage, chips and peas; ice cream (outstanding); sticky toffee pudding; Monk's affogato. Waiting staff were all lovely and really patient with our 2 very lively 3 year olds. Will definitely be back and recommend to others.

Never disappoints, great food , the staff are all friendly and attentive . We stayed in the superior king room , very clean with some nice touches. Breakfast was perfect .

Sadly a very poor experience. I’ve been visiting the pub for nearly 15 years now and tonight was amongst the worst. Throughout the meal we were rushed and the food was lacking in quality. Then, when the cheeseboard was ordered no knife was offered and whilst the plate was also one basic cracker and only one cheese grated. In a competitive village I feel there was much left to be desired. More customer engagement would go a long way.

Fantastic from start to finish. We stayed in the hotel overnight and were able to check in early. The staff were so friendly. We sat in the bar for a good few hours. The drinks coming with cheese and olives was a lovely touch. The staff take great pride in their work and we felt so welcome. Room was beautiful with lovely little touches. Bed comfy. Perfect temperature. Breakfast was outstanding and we will certainly be back!

The best service I've had in many years, every person I spoke to couldn't have been better, it was all run by about 4 or 5 youngsters that clearly had been trained to a high standard and had a passion for everyone to learn happy thank you I will return.

Went for lovely midweek meal with my Husband. Food was good and service was good until!!,,, asked for service charge to be removed (as always like to leave my own tip as not American) Instantly the attitude of the Waitress changed completely. We could hear the Waitress speaking to a local at the bar and mocking service charge being removed, Also,When trying to pay at the bar (as Waitress didn’t return to our table), as was completely ignored and just chatting to local punter. When we finely got to pay the Waitress took the money saw the £5 tip walked other side of the bar threw it in a tip jar (whatever) no thank you, no eye contact, nothing complete contempt!,,

stayed at the flying horse for one night .wonderful food in the evening and breakfast customer service second to none. accommodation excellent .highly recommend

We had such an enjoyable lunch. Interesting menu. Well cooked, tasty food. Excellent service. Old 'pubby' atmosphere.

Visited on a Thursday lunchtime with a friend. What's not to like we had 2 dishes each from the small plate menu, mussels tasty and plentiful, and the smoked salmon dish was delicous. My friend had the the airfried beef ( that's for me next time I vist!) and the goats cheese salad. All washed down with a great no.14 white wine. Great food, great service

Went for lunch on a QUIET end of service at 2.30pm on a Thursday afternoon for a celebration lunch. Great welcome . Fab amuse bouche. Ordered Fillet Steak @ £30, medium rare. Plate was stone cold, steak was Bleu, the mushroom smear across the plate was cold , Peppercorn sauce was cold and congealed and looked like someone had tried to stir in the skin, saute potatoes were acceptable, only ONE mushroom not mushrooms. I told the waitress that I wasn't happy and she said I totally understand and returned my plate to the kitchen. To my shock all I could hear was the chef moaning about my complaint . We were seated down the far end by the fire place and could here him from there and so could the rest of the customers at the bar. I then made the decision to say if that's his attitude I don't want a replacement. Enter the blond curly haired argumentative manager who proceeded to tell me that my plate wasn't cold (even though she hadn't touched it) and that my sauce was congealed because it had been SITTING on the pass. When my partner was served his burger he was told that his plate was hot, however his burger was cold in the middle too. This is the 2nd time we have eaten here but will not be returning . The chef has a terrible attitude and thinks he is cool coming out into the bar with his tea towel on his shoulder but he obviously doesn't remember his training = cross contamination, dandruff , hair loss & sweat. Such a shame.

We cycled to Wye for a vegan lunch and were blown away by the delicious plant based Sunday toast. It was healthy, flavoursome and hot as well as well presented and good value for money. The service was great. We will be back!

A great meal and a super warm welcome. The staff in this pub really show warmth and pride in what they do. We couldn't have asked for better service and this pub really has understood that this is as important as the food which was also delicious. Of all the pubs in Wye, this one was packed on a Saturday night and I can see why. Keep doing what you're doing, as you are standing out for customer service above the crowds.

What a lovely friendly cosy pub not to noisy not to crowded great staff attentive and helpful. The food was also good not a lot of choose for vegetarians hence I had a starter as a main so my Greek type salad was a bit boring but the delicious dessert made up for it a baked blue cheese chutney and bisc was the filler! My other dinner guest all 5 also enjoyed there food was really looking forward to the “fresh homegrown vegetables” that the waitress mentioned but notice none of us had any? Steak came with large flat mushroom and tomato fries no veg! Chicken on pasta no veg! Rice bowl was rice my rocket starter was very uniformed rocket! But enjoyable. Plenty of parking Great place to catch up with friends as you can hv a conversation without to much noise. Not sure I would return

We came this evening with two friends who have been before. Was the first time for us and won’t be the last. The food was amazing. The mussel starter was so good and fresh including the sea air! I am a fish person and most pubs do vac pak mussels and don’t even know what fresh live mussels are, these were amazing fresh mussels! Presentation amazing, flavours amazing and service was exceptional. Can’t rate it high enough. We will be back.

Wow, what a fantastic evening. Went to the new flying horse for a family meal, 12 of us aged from 3 yrs to 94 yrs. the food was amazing and the service was second to none. I can not express how well the staff looked after us. Everyone had a great time. Thoroughly recommended

Stop at this pub, casually for a drink and a meal, wonderful greeting by Hannah. Assume she was the manager of the pub, absolute professional, big smile and a cheery greeting, very attentive throughout the whole time we there, a very good meal cooked well, good quality food and thoroughly enjoy. would strongly recommend that you pop along and say hello to Hannah. Thank you so much all at The New Flying Horse Wye Kent

We hebben hier 2 keer gegeten, bij onze aankomst en bij oudjaar. Zeer leuke avond gehad. Lekker en betaalbaar eten, alleen de drank is aan de dure kant, zoals overal in Engeland. Beperkte kaart maar toch méér dan voldoende keuze, uitgebreide wijnkaart. Gezellige ruimtes. Zeer vriendelijk personeel. Alleen jammer dat de viering van het nieuwe jaar al om 00u30 werd stopgezet.

Amazing service! Ordered small plates and sat outside but service was superb. Even received vol au vents in honour of the coronation and the dogs had treats served on a silver platter which contained off cuts of roast. Staff were attentive and very friendly. 10/10 for everything.

Visited with friends for an evening out. Plenty of parking spaces at the rear although we were surprised how busy the car park was at 6pm. Booking is advisable. We were served very quickly on arrival and shown to our booked table. The restaurant/pub is split into a few parts, which gives it a cosy feeling. There was a lovely wood fire burning in the bar area. Drinks were good having selected special G&T's and Whitstable Bay beers. The food menu had plenty of variety to choose from and when it arrived we were all very pleased with choices. The food was cooked well and very tasty. The service was excellent from all the staff we had dealings with. Our main waiter had great communication skills with a very good sense of humour, but remaining professional. The pub was busy when we attended and this was a Thursday evening. It has great ambience and a lovely place to visit either for food or just for a drink. We look forward to visiting again.

We stayed the night in the annex opposite the pub / Hotel. Very clean and perfectly placed for travel to the euro tunnel. We can't express enough how helpful and friendly the staff were , we had a lovely evening eat in the cosy restaurant and in the morning had a full English breakfast that was fit for a king , everything locally sourced and wanting for nothing . You've probably heard this time and time again in reviews but we will definitely be back , EXCELLENT

Welcomed and given booked table early; water provided immediately for dog; attentive and helpful service. Atmosphere excellent and menu choice wide with vegetarian choices. Lighter choices menu excellent quality and A La carte menu surprisingly good. Fish and chips were were of high quality and well presented with a crispy fish skin. Cottage pie was sizable and very tasty. Overall cost with alcohol was very reasonable and tip was well deserved. Restaurant was very busy but no sign of being rushed. Would be keen to come back again for the experience.

The New Flying Horse is a great village pub. The staff were friendly and helpful and the food was really good. The whole ambience of the place was warm, friendly and relaxing.

Drinks orders were wrong and with drinks missing.Staff were rude and then the owner was rude to us .Not a way to run a business!!

I had dinner here recently with friends. There's a good range of dishes on the menu, and the prices are reasonable. The staff are friendly and helpful and the service is efficient. I would eat here again.

A lovely day and a very relaxing lunch in the garden of this old pub in this charming village. Delightful staff who were very friendly and accommodating. We didn’t have a large lunch-just two Welsh rarebits which weren’t great, being soggy, but prices were reasonable...

New Tenants are fantastic, thank you guys for looking after us for 2 nights & hope you weren’t to loud. We had, breakfast, lunch x 2 & dinner x 2. The food was excellent, breakfast, full English & just wow!!! Besides it looking brilliant on the plate, the taste was just as good or even better lol, fresh & locally sourced. Locally sourced fish cooked perfectly, local vegetables, love it when a restaurant lows where it all comes from (5* guys) & scotch egg to die for. Big shout to the new chef, you can taste the freshness. Made massive use of the fabulous garden, meeting up with loads of friends in the village & just only hope we weren’t to loud lol. Staff, were spot on, so helpful, friendly & patience (with us). We will be back, see you in July guys & thanks again. Good luck with everything & bringing real food back to the village. You guys are killing it!! Cheers for everything xx

Lovely place for dinner and a couple of pints. Never been a great fan of Shepherd Neame draft beers but I discovered some great bottled stuff here. Food is just fine and the service is friendly. A good alternative to The King’s Head.
