The Cat & Custard Pot in Shepway - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Just had a pint. No food served on Saturdays. Only had micro brewery bitter from it was ok. Good range of outdoor seating. Plenty of parking.

Small pub, but full of life, it's a typical country pub, lovely landlord, full of the world war 2 stuff it's just lovely x

Lovely quite, remote pub. Background music. Very reasonably priced drinks. Don't serve food anymore but that is fine. If you are looking for a cosy pub that is excellent value, You must visit.

A lovely pub, cosy atmosphere. If you're in the area, must visit.

A great pub to have a drink in & in the countryside as well

Lovely pub and friendly service

Great little pub with lots of Battle of Britain and WW2 RAF references on the walls

A simple old fashioned boozer. No food ( crisps) but excellent beer and nice people. If you can find it well worth a visit

A lovely pub. Tasty beer. Felt very welcome.

Lovely quaint little country pub 👌

We would like to say a huge thank you to Katie and her boss who recently opened the pub especially for us so that we were able to celebrate what would have been my father's 100th birthday. My grandparents were previous licencees of the pub and The Cat held a very special place in my Dad's heart. Thanks to Katie coming in on her day off we were able to spend a very special time showing our own grandchildren a little of their family history. Thank you thank you thank you.

Amazing place to o visit and enjoy a pint, as well. Strongly recommend!

No food any more, only one mediocre bitter. Very disappointed use to be so good.

Ice cold drinks no food this time. Nice battle of Britain pub and a nice place to go after a walk round the scenery!

Very friendly staff and customers

Perfect place to go for lunch dinner and pint . Stacked with history

A real traditional village pub opposite the most beautiful little church in the world. Nice and quiet. Loved it. 👍❤️🇬🇧

Always the best of attention, nice food and drink.

Friendly staff and service, a lovely local pub and food

Thoroughly enjoyed my lunch time visit. a small pub out in the country stepped with RAF history being just down the road from the ex 2nd world war airfield lots to see and read if you have the time and can recommend the light lunch mixed ploughman's at £7 worth every penny . 2 good slices of gammon ham a big chunk of cheese mixed salad pickle and 2 thick slices of fresh cut bread and butter yum

Real old fashioned pub with really nice and very good value for money food. If I was close by, hungry and in need of a bevy, I would not hesitate.

One of the few proper old fashioned pubs around... great food at very reasonable prices, always very welcoming to groups or individuals alike, and also dog friendly which is always nice to see in a rural pub.

Excellent as always. Highly recommended

Fantastic evening. Wonderful food, great surroundings and great staff behind the bar. 5 stars!!!!

Great decor, like stepping back in time. Pleasant staff and good value, tasty food.

Awesome pub. So friendly. Lovely just for a drink or a bite to eat. Very reasonable prices and a good honest pub.

Lovely Afternoon Celebrating Claire Wiggins life... Miss that girl xxx

What a fantastic public house with the most amazing history. This place wants to stay as it is forever. I can imagine the Battle of Britain pilots and ground crews in here and the photos on the wall bring it alive. Not immaculate and not meant to be. A fantastic atmosphere and piece of history.

Cracking little boozer. Warm welcome and Steeped in history. I love it there

Cliquey and not open normal hours. Does food but haven't tried. Popular in summer with ramblers.

Great food .lots to look at .amazing atmosphere

Excellent pub. good food and great staff.

Good simple food and good beer. Been coming back for years and never disappointed

Friendly service. Excellent pub food & beer.

Lovely quaint location with lots of world War items showing local people and their roles. Food was really high quality and big portions too!

We were told about this pub by a friend, it is really worth. Great atmosphere, fine beer and very tasty home cooked food, will certainly pay another visit in the near future

I cannot rate the food from this place highly enough. The fact that it gets so rammed on a Sunday lunchtime speaks for itself. Very well priced, and the portions are huge. Friendly and laid back atmosphere. Love it!

Looks lovely but was closed. So visited the Local church which was beautiful

Very old WW2 pub, food good and good nostalgia

Nice little pub, serving good food too.

Very good pub food and a very good atmosphere

Had a nice pint with the lads after bike ride

Great pub tucked away in the hills. Beautifull, fresh food; welcoming staff, friendly service and cheaply priced

What a great pub. The freshly home cooked food was amazing. I was only in the area for one night and had to be up early, which was a shame as I would have been more than happy spending the evening there, chatting with the very freindly landlord.

Lovely food. Nice historic pub. The local church is also worth a quick look as well.

Excellent service, food excellent, welcoming staff

Lovely old fashioned country pub

Good food, but basic menu of well presented food.

Flat coke, the cheapest economy frozen battered cod, soggy frozen chips and salad on very hot plates, need i say more.

Wonderful place with personable stafg

Friendly old fashioned, little pub.

Great pub. Friendly staff and yummy food. Great value for money.

Great place, if it had Fosters would be even greater

Great busy little pub with a good range of food

Loved finding the old den was completely unchanged! After 35 years, it was quite emotive cycling back to camp down the lanes - just like it was in June 1940 all cow parsley and meadow-sweet... Could have done with a choice beer though!

Fantastic, family run, home cooking and excellent real ale.

A blast from the past in a real good way, like stepping back in time with a connection to the battle of Britain. Very relaxed and cheery atmosphere.

Quirky pub with a brilliant collection of Battle of Britain memorabilia.

We take elderly clients who used the Cat and Custard Pot when they were stationed at the nearby airbase. They enjoy the memories and the ambience. Where it falls down is with the food which has been indifferent at best for quite a while. One person ordered fish - and it was very dry. Another ordered a steak which was tough and tasteless. And the cook went home before we could offer dessert. Its sad because it used to be very good.

This is one of the best original pubs in Kent. The walls are full of amazing history from the war and the foods pretty good too.

A fantastic battle of Britain pin in a time warp

Lovely atmosphere. Lovely people

Brilliant meal .my husband had steak chips and trimmings ,I myself had Ham egg and chips with side garnish was absolutely Beautiful and the ham was of the bone no plastic rubbish but lovely and thick and price for all was very Good we said we can't wait to go back Thank you All .

Have been here quite a few times and always had a lovely meal and friendly welcome

Everything I love about a pub. Its cozy, dog friendly and great beer

They look after locals at the expense of newbys. Locals get there food first. And a bit dark. Bad lighting.

Accueil chaleureux cuisine de bonne qualité et bière au top !!! Juste un peu difficile à trouver

Wonderful pub. The staff extremely helpful and friendly and the decor was very much Battle of Britain. Would go again.

Quirky decor, interesting history, but distinctly average food.

Always a fantastic time, great food and friendly service!!

Best place to go for a good evening and brilliant food and drink.

Lovely pub and good food with super war memorabilia.

Very nice country pub with good food

Lovely little pub with a friendly atmosphere.

Great atmospheric pub with good beer and food

It's a lovely grub and their guest beers were worth the trip, the regulars seemed very humerous, pity I couldn't have stayed longer!

Enjoyed the beer and trip back down memory lane.

Cost pub with nice workers. Half of the card was not available though and the food was not that good. Price was average.

Great pub, local ale, good food, lots of local history on display.

We waited over an hour for our order....I think they forgot us.....but food was ok when it eventually arrived though nothing out of this world.

Qwerky pub with v.good food and excellent ale. A must for WW2 RAF enthusiasts. Friendly & helpful staff.

Great local pub. Good simple food.

What a great pub.Lots of memorabilia on the battle of Britain.There was not a large menu.But what we had was tasty and filling.The opening hours were odd.So check before you go.There is limited seating outside.And ample parking.Not sure if suitable for disabled people.I will go again.

Nice family run pub pet friendly

Excellent food! Lovely and welcoming pub

Proper old pub well worth a visit

Very interesting pub with plenty of character. Friendly staff. Free parking at the back. We will definitely come back. The pub is in a lovely countryside where you can do walks and cycling.

Food excellent plenty of it and nice and hot very yummy and nice veggie stuff too

A fantastic pub. It was originally a pub used by RAF fighter pilots and officers stationed at RAF Hawkinge. The pub is full of aviation memorabilia and often hosts fantastic WW2 reenactors resplendent in their period dress. The food, choice of beer and staff are quite wonderful and it is a pub that instantly charms. There is also a wonderful billiards (not pool!!) table for patrons to use.

Great atmosphere and good food. The people are very nice!

Wonderful country setting. Very friendly service

Everything you want from a local or a country pub.

No nonsense bar food is always good and reasonably priced. This is a friendly pub and has many interesting pictures and artefacts relating to its popularity with airmen in WW2. Good selection of beers. Dartboard and bar billiards.

Great beer, great food amazing friendly service

Historic WW2 pub full of fascinating memorabilia

Service was very slow, 8 of us got our meals all at the same time, the 9th person waiting over 5 minutes more.not sure I would eat there again.

Gorgeous quirky wee pub. Very friendly and great foid

Did not appreciate some dogs sniffing at our table and just sat there whilst the owners were too busy talking at the bar. Totally ruined our meal and made even worse when the pub and dog owners both tried cracking jokes without apologising. I will not be rushing back anytime soon.

Great old Battle of Britain pub. Good value food and good selection of guest ales.

Nice friendly pub. Good atmosphere and good service.
