Pub was fairly empty at the time, but food was fantastic. Proper East End pie & mash from Robins got consumed with a pint or 2 of Proper Job. Good price. Walked out very contented.

We met up with family here in August to mark the passing of my young nephew Connor who lost his life on Dymchurch beach nine years ago. We all spent around two hours in the establishment and purchased drinks, followed by a highly emotional walk on the beach. Two of our party later got fined by Civil Enforcement for overstaying our parking. I can not find the words to express my disgust. Karma will catch up with you.

Don't be put off by the look of this pub / restaurant. From the outside it looks dated - inside too ( but it was built circa 1733!) The food is amazing, the service is great and the garden at the back sheltered from the wind. We took an American friend for lunch, she's elderly and eats very little. She wanted a shrimp (prawn) salad and we asked for two plates - the prawns were plump and juicy the salad was freshly prepared and there was more than enough for the two of of us at lunchtime. There was french bread on the side - excellent value. Highly recommend this little gem

Waited almost an hour for a cheese ploughman’s and a chicken burger and chips, which was average at best! If I was visiting Dymchurch again I would only come here for maybe a drink and the seafood stall.

How can you charge for a roast dinner with no roast potatoes and no Yorkshire puddings. And my nephew only wanted a bun yet the lady charged for a whole baguette what a rip off would NEVER eat in there again. Service was dry

Don't know if we caught the them at busy time but ordered the roast lamb dinner. We were told there were no roast but we were OK with new potatoes. However when served there was no Yorkshire pudding either. Do it was disappointing that we were not told this at time of ordering as we definitely chosen something different. Also really disappointing to be charged £1.60 for a plain burger bun.

We have been go here for over 20 years every time we go to Dymchurch. We had a lovely meal and It took 45 minutes for the food to come out. However there’s a 30 minute limit on parking. #civleenforcement. At not point did any of the staff warn us about the 30 minute carpark time. Now we’ve got to pay £100 fine. Absolutely disgraceful. If we had known we would have paid or moved our car. BE WARNED!!!

We always go here for me every time we’re go to Dymchurch. Food is very good and the people working there are lovely. But be WARNED the carpark is ONLY 30 minutes or you will get a £100 fine. I’ve been going here for many years and no one mentioned about the carpark whilst we were there. Now we are expected to pay £100. Absolutely disgraceful

Very good overall experience here; we went in on a weekday/Friday just to avoid extra crowds or parking issues at a weekend (?). Do Make sure you register your reg no. on arrival to give you the free 3 hours. We both had fish n chips, medium size which was a good amount and enough tasty chips but not piled high, 2 alco free beers and in all it was £37. The fish was fresh cooked and very moist with white soft meat and a thin crispy batter and some tartare sauce. Would come again and try the squid dish or sea bass. Only downside was 5 of my chips were overdone and plates a bit small so lost a star today.

Ordered a crab salad and ham ploughman’s which cost best part of £30. You moved a lettuce leaf and there was the crab which was out of a tin and just tasted of salt. Got two small pieces of baguette with the ploughman’s and silver skin onions. Would have been cheaper to order a crab sandwich and ham sandwich Will not be going back, definitely gone down hill

Ordered for my family, first time coming here today and my I ordered a roast dinner, a burger and chips and a kids nuggets and chips. The food itself was pretty delightful it was hot and tasted fresh ( the chips were lovely tasted like a chip shop) my biggest disappointment was the fact that I had less chips on my plate than my sons meal which was nuggets and chips and the burger was obviously just a. Chef larder patty so very little or no authentic burger making at all just cheap and easy for them but noting that I expect far more for the value. I ended up buying two drinks of fizzy and a j20 and that came to over 12 quid just for 3 drinks it’s very very overpriced and it’s worth noting I saw a foreign family arrive and during this time He wanted a water ( tap) and a sprite to which they had no sprite and asked if 7 up was fine? He said yeah that’s fine and she comes back with bottled water and a tiny mixer 7 up can and charged them full price this place is obviously doing everything they can for extra cash I don’t know if there’s money troubles or not but I think the rating easily could have been better but that portion size was unforgivable especially considering the price Nice place regardless clean and tidy with a buzzing atmosphere and despite previous reviews saying that the food is bad and microwaved etc I wanted to see for myself and we definitely enjoyed ourselves but please look at the sort of things above as this is what will lose business long Term

The food was lovely. Unfortunately the lady in charge was very rude to me at a simple request (that I was more than willing to pay for - I asked to buy a portion of bolognaise sauce to add to my daughters pasta - bolognaise was on the menu). Granted it was busy (which I imagine should be a positive thing for a pub in the current climate) but the rudeness was not necessary (and potentially unwise given there was a group of about 20 of spending money in the pub garden). Al other staff were perfectly friendly. I sadly personally would not choose to go back to this pub again as a result.

My husband had traditional pie and mash and liquor which was£8.00 it was more like a kids portion the mash was two little scoops as if was dished up with ice cream scoop the pie was small and he said it was not very nice with watery mince and the liquor was very thin indeed wish I had taken a pic, I had korma curry which wasn't to bad sauce was a bit runny but had better. Sorry don't think we will be going back. Can't really rate the other food.

Staff lovely and food great, only disappointment was my strawberry milkshake which did not taste nice. I would suggest that they try to avoid using an Milkshake full of artificial flavors and gums. Instead, use a higher-quality vanilla ice cream that is made with actual milk and cream. It will create a much tastier milkshake that is super rich and creamy with fresh ripe strawberries. I kindly informed a member of staff about my milkshake had no strawberry favour, just went on deaf ears.

The restaurant was difficult to find as it is out the back of the bar near the toilets, the bar staff were not very helpful when entering the pub or welcoming at all The food portions are very small, the battered Cod was very mushy in the middle and not enjoyable. Very disappointed in having oven chips rather than home made chips Overall not a great experience, I would not recommend it if you are after a typical sea side fish and chips.

This is a traditional British Pub. It has a public bar and a saloon bar where they serve an extensive choice of menu options including a number of vegitarian options. We liked it because its a proper pub and not a pub with a fancy restaurant attached. Food was reasonably priced and served promptly. Staff were very pleasant and the saloon bar was nicely decorated. There was a couple of real ale options at the bar. There were some cakes on display that looked great. Parking was directly outside. Not crowded out of season but probably gets busy at the height of the season. I have given the rating on the context of what it is. (Ie Its not a 5 star hotel/ restaurant.)

Have recently moved to Dymchurch and thought I would give them a try. Where should I start I ordered my food at the bar for takeaway after getting home and opening my food I wasn’t pleasantly surprised as the meals were like kids meals and terrible value for money after paying £75.00 for the meal I feel like I have been robbed and defiantly will not be returning there. All I can say is if your hungry and want value for money please don’t go there.

Lovely pub with a great atmosphere. There’s a main bar and a separate dinning that’s a lot quieter. They also have a good sized garden for the children and a fair bit of outside seating. I was surprised how vast and varied the menu is, from fish and chips to lambs liver. Loads of fish and seafood choices. The fisherman’s basket was very tasty and ample, nice crispy chips too. The prices are fair too. They have a large car park but you have to put your registration number in at the bar if not you could get a fine. Worth a visit.
