Shepherd & Crook in Shepway

Excellent country pub. Had a Sunday Roast which was fantastic and excellent value. Lovely log burner and dog friendly too. Will visit again

Lovely local pub you are made to feel like one of the family. Didn't eat so unable to comment on food.

Very nice staff and the food was amazing, overall was a really nice time having sunday roast at this pub. Would definitely recommend, especially for groups of people

Really nice Pub for a Sunday roast! Enjoyed the beer garden in the sun and some games of darts and pool! would recommend :)

Visited this lovely pub the weekend. It was my first visit, very friendly staff amazing atmosphere I will definitely visit next time I'm passing

What a great find, was recommended to this pub by a friend and was not disappointed. A traditional pub family owned. The welcome was a pleasant change, so friendly as were the locals in there also. The food was freshly cooked, I had liver and bacon and my wife had the steak pie which she could not finish as there was so much. I do not often write reviews but the shepherd and crook certainly deserves a visit !

We had a lovely meal here, such a nice welcome, so friendly. Nice to go into a pub where everyone speaks to you. We had the liver & Bacon, and Steak and Ale Pie, both were delicious, piping hot and so much of it. Would recommend.

We enjoyed a lovely Sunday roast dinner at the Shepherd & Crook. The service was excellent, great friendly staff and the food was piping hot and tasty. My only small disappointment was no crackling with the pork. We would definitely visit again next time we are in the UK.

Fantastic pub absolutely amazing evening

Wow! Again we had a fantastic meal with friends and elderly father (his first visit!). Food was brilliant. Lamb Shank, Chicken curry, Crook beefburgers, Suet pud, puddings with custard, chocolate pud with ice cream....lush!!! Throw in the meal deal for curry with nan and a pint for £11.95, what more can you ask?!

Very good service well pleased,food very well priced and service by kind staff. Highly recommended, it maybe worth you calling ahead to get a booking for food. Staff went out of their way to offer a high service.

We walked here from a local camp site for lunch. Our overall impression was of of a family trying to provide the best possible experience for their guests. The food was good and plentiful, service quick, prices reasonable and staff extremely attentive. The premises could perhaps do with a bit of tlc, especially the loos (clean but tatty), but this didn't impact on our enjoyment. The location is beautiful too, especially on a sunny day, ideal for bike/walking stop off.

Daughter just moved to area with her boyfriend, we went in for drinks on 1st night and were treated like family by the owners we then went in for Sunday lunch and I must say the food was plentiful and went down a treat, can’t wait to come back in couple of months to see the daughter and we will definitely be booking again for more meals and drinks as the hosts were amazing.

First visit for Sunday roast, omg we were not disappointed - great choice of meats, great price, fantastic portions & lovely staff.

Had a brilliant night!! Watched a drag queen. Staff are so friendly. The menu looks amazing and so does the food so will be going there to eat soon.

Had a superb Sunday lunch last weekend. The staff were very welcoming and attentive. Great choice of local beers. The roast dinner was excellent, well cooked, everything just perfect. Absolutely worth the money. Will definitely be going again as it is very local to where I live in Dymchurch. Thank you all

Excellent Sunday lunches wide choice and excellent value for money we had a small and medium lunch both of which were really tasty and thoroughly enjoyed

Really enjoyed our vist to Shepherd and Crook great Atmosphere so friendly and welcoming...lovely home cooked food ....Really enjoyed it I had Liver and bacon and onions mash potatoe and veg....the liver melted in my mouth it was all freshly made...definitely going again .

great place, great service, great price, great food, couldn't find a complaint even if i wanted to. everything was perfect, we all had a lovely time, and not for the first time. you are always made to feel welcome and the service is excellent. couldn't praise these people enough, will definitely be going back.

Fantastic value for money. The food is tasty and the couple that run it are very welcoming and know what they're doing. Would definitely recommend venturing out to visit here. (Photo included of a funny drink)

The toilets really need to be upgraded, hand dryer didn't work, one grubby hand towel, spiderwebs and dust everywhere!

First time visiting and will definitely be back. Food was amazing and great value. And Nala the doberman is stunning (and the little one who's name i can't remember). Proper family run country pub!

Amazing food, (pizza night) the best I've ever had!. Really great environment and atmosphere with a lovely warm welcome. Would 100% recommend.

We came here for Mothering Sunday roast and were not disappointed, great meal ,value for money and friendly service ,will be back

The food was amazing, the waitress and waiters where very talkative and funny. Definitely come here :D

Lovely local free-house with above expectations food menu. Pool table in one bar, locals and a gentle karaoke in the other.

First time I have been to this pub for a roast. Some of us had the vegetarian option which was home made and others had meat with good portions. The food was great and well cooked and a good selection of drink including local ales. I would absolutely recommend this to others, very reasonably priced compared to other Roasts in the local area!

Under new ownership and gave it a try. Really nice food, atmosphere and very friendly bar staff. Recommend you book as very popular. Catered for 8 of us including vegetarians. Will be back.

Very welcoming, excellent food and service.

Nice people, great food and plenty of it all at a great price. Thanks

Last Thursday 14th Dec, we had a super pre Christmas festive meal with members of ATC dog training club. 30 people there all meals served piling hot and generous portions. Throughly enjoyed the meal and chatting with other members. Will definitely try the cuisine with just my wife and I.

Great Sunday Lunch, hot and plentiful. Really nice people

My partner and I had a roast dinner at this place, and we were very disappointed the roast potatoes were very under cooked and the vegetables seemed like they had been boiling for the whole week and had no flavor whatsoever the food wasn't very hot at all the service wasn't too bad and the staff were quite friendly but I won't be returning for dinner again

Fantastic home cooked food, very friendly staff and lovely atmosphere. Would highly recommend

Wow, what an incredible roast dinner we had today for my Birthday meal. I throughly enjoyed our food, the roast potatoes were delicious and the meat so tender and tasty. The vegetables were clearly fresh and not frozen and the gravy tasted just like my nan used to make. I couldn't eat any dessert as I was so full but others did in our party and the syrup songe went down very well with everyone. The pub is family run and the staff are all so friendly. Thank you so much for making my birthday so special. Cant wait to book our next meal here!!

Best roast dinner I have had for a long time and good value for money, added to that the Guinness smooth as velvet I highly recommend a visit

Only a few tables so fairly quiet but log burner on and heating so toasty warm. Second time we have had lunch here with my elderly parents and we all enjoyed our food and the hospitality. A little off the beaten reach but well worth a visit. Good to support local business although we live in Hythe still think of Burmarsh as local. Keen to try their pizza night with Italian chef.

Welcoming and great food. A very attractive and old pub with lots of history makes for a very interesting and enjoyable visit in the most beautiful little village 😊

Lovely friendly welcome, food was delicious, we had a steak and lamb shank, cooked perfectly, excellent value for money, will definately be returning. Thankyou Shepherd and Crook

Highly recommend this pub ! The food is fantastic and of good value, plus the service is very welcoming and professional. They are a family run pub that know how to welcome people, and have a history of running a public house. 5 star rating and looking forward to our next visit.

Authentic local pub with a wood fire, friendly staff and patrons. Excellent pie. Would go back

Lovely little 🍻 pub, with nice food,staff make you feel welcome. 🐕 Dog friendly.

Big portions and good selection

6 of us went for pizza night Not only were they delicious they were very reasonably priced. the beer was great and we played pool and darts, we all had a lovely time and left with full Bellies.

Booked for a birthday lunch, no table service, small portions, potatoes not proper roasts, ice cream or chocolate cake choice for dessert, as sold out! Then they tried to over charge me! Not impressed..

Had a lovely lunch in the sunshine. Great food, lovely people and a beautiful area. Will definitely come back. X

I have given 4 stars for food because there was barely any broccoli in the veggie pie.

Fantastic food good value for money and the pizza offers on Tuesday and Wednesdays you can't go wrong but I would phone and book as it dose get busy . Plus they do a really good roast dinner . It's a must try place if your down romeny marsh . look out for the mid week specials as well

Hidden gem, well worth a visit, I would recommend phoning in advance to see what's on the menu or availability for that day or making sure they have a table. The owners go out of there way to make everyone feel welcome and it's easy to meet new people

Jess the land lady was absolutely great and the bar man Jay was so welcoming

The pizzas are amazing! They have fantastic deals on a Tuesday and Wednesday, which include a big variety of pizza toppings, starters, and desserts! If you haven't been to try their food yet, you really must get down there

Lovely 12th century pub. Great pizzas, value for money. Very friendly and kind service. Would recommend.

Out for lunch and had an amazing Sunday roast, generous portion and great price, real value for money, Jay and his staff were very friendly and accommodating, great pub and great atmosphere, thank you all

Seating areas are not comfortable tables are limited and pushed into tiny corners food takes ages to come out even though it's quite. Place is not very decorative. Needs updating.

Ace pizza, lovely staff, sorted us right out!

Lovely little pub in the local area. It’s been a few years since I had a Sunday roast there which was amazing.

Lovely little country pub, friendly and welcoming. We went on their pizza night, very good value and tasty. Dog friendly too.

I am actually so shocked by the service and food we received. We had a booking for 3.30 but unfortunately we was running 15 minutes late due to getting lost. I phoned to apologize and let them know we were running late. We arrived at 3.45 and our friends shortly after, the food came out at 4, the potatoes were soggy and burnt, the pictures from previous comments were nothing like what we got, we all asked for the full meat option, mine was missing the pork, when I said this to the women with the curly hair she replied you did have pork, I plated the meals you must have ate it 🤣. I promise you I did not, I said I didnt, she replied well I put it on there, my beef was pure fat aswell. When we asked why the potatoes are burnt, she went well what do you expect when your 15 minutes late. If you do go here for a roast I would go as early as you can and you might get some decent food, don't be late either or they will burn your food as punishment

atmosphere was amazing service was outstanding they were very welcomeing and the food was absolutely incredible I had steak this place is amazing its a must go to pub

Fantastic place, friendly atmoshere, staff and patrons, the food is good and the beer is cold, we always enjoy going for a night out, best place on the Marsh.

The Sheperd and Crook is one of the brighest gems in the crown of the Romney Marsh. Come and meet the congenial hosts Jess, Jay and Logan and they will make you feel at home. They'll feed you with tasty wholesome, traditionaly cooked pub grub that you will love (Yum, Yum!). The Ales, Ciders, Wines and Spirits on offer are of high quality and the prices are reflected in the Freehouse status of the pub (very reasonable). I can't recommended this well run establishment highly enough. Get out on the Marsh and be entertained by proper Marshians, you'll be over the Moon 😘 BTW this pub is dog friendly 🐶 Woof!

It was our first time visiting today, we had the Sunday roast which was very tasty and generously portioned. Lovely people and dog, will definitely be back.

I've lived in the village of Burmarsh almost all of my life and in that time there's been several owners of the pub. Previous owners have made it feel almost alienating but I can honestly say that the current owners and staff are just amazing, they're welcoming, interactive and everything you'd expect a local pub to be. The food is amazing and they're so generous with the portions that you wont have to eat for the rest of the day. (Their adorable dogs are just a bonus).

Brilliant place! Went on a Wednesday evening and had an excellent pizza deal that was delicious and great value Staff were very pleasant and helpful Would love to live near a place like this!

Hidden gem! Perfect, proper pub! The food was really good & great value for money! The staff were very friendly & really looked after us. We’ll definitely be returning to check out the Sunday roast!

Went for something to eat there was very nice , friendly staff and the food was lovely

The food was poor, the service was mid and the atmosphere what unseemingly quiet, but this place had a lot of history and was build in the 12th century personally I would recommended other places nearby such as Neptune or the Ship Inn and the Warren Inn, which I have visited while on holiday in Dymchurch.

Wicked Sunday roast, lovely pub, great garden, perfect!

Lovely Sunday Roast and can accommodate for those with Coeliac Disease! We stayed in East Sussex over the Coronation weekend and were looking for somewhere that offered a Sunday Lunch suitable for a family of four (couple and two children) and that could cater for my wife who has Coeliac Disease. Upon arrival, we were met by a friendly gentleman behind the bar who served us with a smile and had a great conversation. We spoke to the chef who advised us on the gluten free roast dinner. They confirmed that everything was gluten free except the gravy and yorkshire pudding, but they went out their way to make a gluten free gravy for my wife. The food was very tasty and both meals and drinks were very reasonably priced. A pint of cask ale, medium Rose wine and two fruit shoots came to £11. The roasts were also very good value, a small plate, suitable for a child included one meat of choice from five (beef, lamb, pork, gammon and turkey). This was £6.95. The medium plate was £10.95 and included a choice of two meats, the large plate was £11.95 and included all five meat choices. Overall, a friendly and charming venue in a nice part of the countryside. I highly recommend!

Lovely, freindkylocal pub. Wl definitely be back for the suet pudding!

Just this week I have eaten in the Shepherd & Crook (piazza night) and all I can say WOW very very nice piazza and so much food! Very friendly welcome and all at a great price! Highly recommend!

Great food drinks atmosphere spot on well recommended

Generous helpings of England's favourite meals for our quartet of diners. The log fire on a wet and windy April evening radiated as much warmth as our publican host.

Fantastic grub at a very reasonable price. Staff were lovely and very accommodating. The pub itself feels very cosy and the nick nacks and little quirks everywhere make the experience that little bit more special. Highly recommended 😄

Very homely and relaxing pub with a great Sunday roast. Impressed.

Good food good beer great atmosphere

The food was delicious. Big portions full of flavour. We were there on Saturday with our dog and towards the end of the evening they let one of their dogs play with ours. The owners are very friendly and welcoming.

Lovely pub .in a little village ...great roast and great landlady ....can't praise high enough ....6 stars 👍

Go and find out if your in the area it's my local

Lovely place and really friendly people had a great night there will definitely go back x

Excellent atmosphere and great food.

Lovely local pub. Very friendly landlady. Nice selection of ales and beers, and they have a happy hour. Brought snacks to the table of some very tasty cubes of cheese and tortilla crisps. Would recommend a visit if in the area.

Stopped in for lunch today on spec. Really friendly welcome and good simple pub lunch with good beer, just what I like

Lovely olde world pub & not too big inside so felt cosy. Great choice of meat for Sunday lunch with fresh veg, roast pots & big Yorkie. 2 dinner sizes depending on your appetite & price for dinner only or dinner & pud. Best to book & a lovely drive through the Kent countryside

What a lovely fantastic country pub in a lovely village. In the Hart of Kent. Lovely friendly ,family run pub. Food and very good value for the price you pay.

We had the best experience today on the bank holiday Monday. They had a special on which consisted of any drink plus gorgeous meal , all for £10 each ! It was amazing, the food was delicious and we can't wait to come back , especially when they have their live music events. Thank you so much to the new owners, we couldn't have asked for more . Lovely atmosphere and friendly, lovely staff and owners too. Highly recommend to all . See you again very soon!

Amazing staff , amazing food , the people was so warm and welcoming, great entertainment and a fabulous place to visit ❤❤❤ loved it

Excellent Sunday roast. Several meat options to choose from and really good value with loads of veg. They do a small portion too.

Warm friendly atmosphere. Tasty home cooked roast beef. New owners took over in March 2022. A hidden gem! Highly recommended.

The food is to die for best chips ever. Potion size amazing. The people are so friendly and accommodating. Sunday dinners look amazing but make sure you book very popular. Thank you so much for a lovely afternoon.

Amazing food and lovely people. Definitely coming back for a roast dinner.

Absolutely fabulous Reggae night out, the ambience was electric, staff attentive and welcoming!!! A real community pub and celebration of One Love!!!! Xxxxx

Jess and Jay are amazing hosts, the food is all home cooked, craft local beers, well worth a visit.

Wow is all I can say, as a qualified chef I'm amazed at the quality and price! The service was outstanding and the food really is to die for. Book and you will not be disappointed. The negative comments on here are very polar opposite of the service and food we received. Outstanding 10/10 it's so lovely to come to a proper village pub and have the atmosphere of a village pub, the locals are so lovely here just like the staff here. We will be back, by far the best food on the Marsh!!

Friendly staff and pleasant surroundings. Food was excellent. Well cooked and generous portions. Well worth a visit but recommend booking if you are a large party.

Lovely little pub! We were camping at the site about 10 mins walk away and popped in for a drink. The locals were really welcoming and we instantly felt at home. Landlord and staff were friendly and gave us some tips on where to go and what to do. Overall it had a really good atmosphere and is what you want from a local village pub. Wouldn't hesitate to go back.

Didn't like taking to many drinks at one time Prices were very good . But wine not very good out of a box

Went to celarbrate hubbies 70th Birthday. Great food, very tasty, large portions highly recomend. Very friend country pub.

Great food, can not recommend this place enough... the dishes were larger and tasty than expected from the scampi, the lamb shank, steak & Ale pie & the cod all recommend. Wonderful service excellent land lady, Will be making a return visit 🌟

Friendly local pub, varied menu and good ales. Soup of the day (pictured) was chicken and sweetcorn. Useful stopping point on marsh walks; lots of seating indoors and outside under sun umbrellas. Dogs welcomed inside to the bar.
