Small and very expensive starters Garlic bread was the smallest I have ever seen Olives worked out at 50p per olive the portion was so small Kids menu far to small, very little selection and £9.50 far too expensive

We visited for a birthday and the service we received was outstanding. Birthday bunting put up - which made the birthday boy feel special , and then a birthday desert with candle etc - we couldn’t have asked for more. The food, as always , was delicious x

Had lunch with our friends and had a mixed experience. The good bits were the friendly welcome and nice atmosphere. All the staff were lovely Rosie in particular who was lovely with my friends little girl with lots of banter. The downside was some of the food. Why have spicy chicken in a child’s wrap selection? Her Dad had to wash it in water before she could eat it and why put imitation cream in the filling of a Black Forest gateau? The other meals were fine although it was mentioned that the chicken & leek pie was a very small portion also although very nice. It was not all bad though as the skate, lasagne pork belly were fantastic. All in all we had a nice time but could have been better.

I have wanted to visit the Star and Eagle for years and decided to go with a good friend for lunch. We ordered a prawn and Marie rose sauce sandwich, which we asked if we could have it on granary. The lady serving at the bar said yes that's fine. We were served crayfish tails on supermarket brown bread which was pretty tasteless and had minimal sauce. The lady serving at the bar was pretty miserable looking and not interacting much, as if she didn't really want to be there. A second server was very polite and helpful and friendly but by this point the experience was disappointing. The building is beautiful but sadly I doubt we will make a return visit.

My first visit to the Star and Eagle for sometime and I enjoyed my return there for lunch. Good pub restaurant with plenty of food specials and we had a good table alongside the very welcome log fire. The haunch of venison was great and overall a good experience with good service and a warm welcome when we arrived. Parking is limited but there is car park in the village in walking distance.

The tables were set up beautifully with white cotton cloths and napkins. We didn’t like having to read the menu on a board as we got in everyone’s way. No menus on the tables. The food was good but some items expensive. All deserts £9. The service was pleasant and friendly although a little bit unprofessional at times. Everyone enjoyed the evening but not sure we would go again.

The food and service was good as usual. The only thing that puts me off from dining here is that they dont provide a paper menu. You have to take a photo of the black board. We dined with two older people that dont have smart phones. This meant we had to share our devices which werent clear for them to read so had to read the menu out to them. In the end two of us opted for fish and chips as it was just easy, instead of keep having to remember what had been read out. It sounds a simple thing to do but its actually annoying.

I was ever so disappointed for our Easter meal here with my family, we had been recommended to this restaurant and it really didn’t meet our expectations, the food was okay no flavour and the food was Luke warm to cold and wasn’t enjoyable, my favourite part of the meal was the raspberry sorbet! I have a dietary requirements and I had ordered the nut roast and they didn’t tell me that there was cauliflower in cheese cream sauce. I always feel so difficult when going out due to my intolerances, so I didn’t mention that they added cauliflower cheese. Unfortunately I will not be visiting this restaurant again

We had a lovely family dinner here. Food was a more restaurant style than gastro pub - both in terms of presentation and quality. The room was traditional but cosy with white table cloths etc... Food was very tasty, tastefully presented and with a nice variety. Service was exemplary, our waiter was charming and the rest of the team really helpful. Nice for a small group or tete a tete.

Food was lovely and so was the service. However whilst sitting in the restaurant we had to go through to the bar area to look at menu on a wall. (Or you could look through a window between the bar and restaurant). This is not ideal because you are looking over peoples heads as they are eating. The same as when you go into the bar area as it is situated where people are sitting. We got waved at by other guests whilst we were reading the menu and I don’t think you should have to look over peoples heads as they are eating /drinking .

A friend and I have used The Star & Eagle for meet up lunches for around fifteen years. It's always a superb place with outstanding food and service. What we appreciate most is the fact we can book a quiet table and are encouraged to enjoy it and stay as long as we wish. This time was no different, and we were warmly invited to take our time long after the meal was done. One of the finest, most characterful and welcoming Kent inns in existence; set in a glorious spot by the church on the hill in Goudhurst. Always highly recommended.

It took almost 90 minutes after ordering for our food to arrive. The chicken was extremely dry, to the point of being inedible, no dressing for the salad, no water on table. It then took 30 minutes and three attempts to finally get the bill.

Horrific customer service, they only just opened and told me that they had “ran out of rolls” I then sourced a fresh buttered roll from a local shop headed back only to me told that it was a £5 minimum card spend! £3.40 for a small chips which is well over priced compared to other chip shops in the area Over all OVERPRICED with APPAULING customer service I would not be heading here in a hurry

My friend and I recently visited Walnuts cafe and had an experience that left us feeling disappointed and uncomfortable. When we placed our order, the person taking orders had a language barrier. To ensure she understood, we repeated our order twice. However, when the food arrived, it still wasn’t correct and needed to be adjusted. Later, when we asked for the bill, I noticed I was charged full price for a dish I had chosen from the kids’ menu. Still, I was willing to pay without any issue. The manager came over, and I explained what had happened. As an apology, she removed an item from the bill. However, when she returned with the revised bill, she made a comment that left me shaken. She pointed out that she remembered me from a previous visit, saying, “You sat at table 19 last time, and you had a problem with the bill then. I remember this vividly because I dealt with you.” Her tone made me feel as though she was implying we were trying to get out of paying. I felt uncomfortable and almost embarrassed, as if we were being seen as “cheap.” To make matters worse, she added, “Next time when you come, please place your order clearly .” Begin a regular customers this experience left a very negative impression. We felt we were treated as if we were at fault when we had been understanding throughout. Needless to say, we don’t plan on returning to this cafe again.
