Although its glory days are long behind it and it needs to be refreshed, the hotel is clean. Nice service and good breakfast.

Can't fault the experiences I have had at the Conningbrook, a great selection available on the menu and in the summer probably the biggest and best beer garden around. Plenty of space for the children to be entertained and enjoy the day with a pub lunch. Will definitely return

Went here on 2nd Feb 25 for a family get together lunch. 16 of us ranging from a 3year old up to over 60 (me). Great welcome from the staff on arrival at what was a very busy day, and that continued with great service both at the bar and at the table. All of us enjoyed our food. I had the Cavery which was as Caveries go as expecte Good meat choices and lots of it, lots of vegetables and, above all else, it was hot. All-in-all we had a great time and very happy and, as I was one that paid the bilI, I was pleasently surprised by that as well. Thank you everyone that looked after us.

Full Marks to George and the Staff when we celebrated my BIG Birthday on the 25/01/2025. The Buffet was plentiful and of good quality. The ABBA Tribute proved an added bonus and all my guests had a great time. No hesitation in recommending the Conningbrook, looking forward to the next time Trevor S.

Everything is so clean and the food is brilliant too. I cant speak highly of the staff they all do a fantastic job and work non stop. A special shout out to Lizzy as she always looks after us and always has a smile on her face and has a brilliant sense of humour. A true asset to this pub.

Staff were 5* We stayed in a superior double room which was comfortable and had everything you needed for a nights stay. The floorboards creak but it didn’t stop me sleeping! We had dinner and breakfast included and nothing was surcharged. You had availability of the full menu. For breakfast I wanted to make a couple of changes and nothing was too much trouble. All the staff we encountered on our stay were welcoming and we felt couldn’t do enough for you to make your stay enjoyable. Thank you to all.

Family visit for their Sunday carvery. The staff were very good, the food was cooked well. It was a shame the food was served on cold plates and the food was at the best luke warm or cold. Even the gravy was only just warm. The meat is carved on a cold area so was cold when served. Not sure the heating elements on the veg area was on, but new roasties arrived whilst waiting and even they were not hot. A shame as everything was cooked well. Won't go again. The veg option was served before we went up and the kids meals arrived whilst in the queue! So cold as well by the time we all sat down.

The hotel was easy to find, located just off a roundabout. The rooms, whilst not 5* by todays standards were large, functional and the beds very comfortable. The bar and dining area was very spacious, the bar was well stocked and had non alcoholic ciders. The menu choices were second to none and the meals larger than expected. Lizzie, Mary and Ton looked after our needs and should be complimented. If we visit Kent in the future this hotel will be on our todo list

Me and my partner came to the restaurant for a spot of lunch yesterday afternoon. From start to finish our server, provided a professional, seamless experience. Unfortunately, a broken unit in the kitchen meant a few items from the menu were not available. That being said though, the extensive menu provided by the restaurant meant we soon found something to tuck in to ! I enjoyed the lasagne and my partner enjoyed the “Nourish bowl”. The food was absolutely delicious ! my partner and I have already picked what we want next time and look forward to coming back soon. It’s so clear that the new general manager cares so much about this pub and it is wonderful to see how it has been transformed in the past year. Deffo recommend !

A nightmare from start to finish. Arrived midday Wednesday looking forward to a family meal.Had been told its not necessary to book. Shown to our table and sat down to then be told ''sorry we don't have any steak or fish!!!'' .... My 92 year old mother had been really looking forward to having fish and chips! My brother who is unable to go out very often was looking forward to steak and chips surely not a big 'ask'!! even for a pub never mind a place that describes itself as a restaurant.We had to make do with microwaved scampi and a ''hard as nails'' steak and kidney pie......The restaurant was deserted.I wonder why? Never ever again.You have been WARNED!.

Booked to stay here as we had a wedding locally to attend . The hotel & bar staff were so helpful nothing was a problem at all. We had rooms booked for two nights where on the second night our sisters were staying in the room as we were staying at the wedding venue and the hotel happily changed and cleaned all our rooms for the change. We used the bar for dinner on the Saturday there was a reasonable choice on the menu and the food was delicious the staff were helpful attentive and service was speedy and efficient. Rooms were pleasant and breakfast was lovely and good value. Jordan who was on reception & working the bar was so helpful and really did ensure our stay was pleasant and that we were well looked after as .

Fantastic pub in a great location. The garden is fab for the kids, the menu has a huge range of options (including a great gluten free selection - which I can assure you the management are very careful to ensure is prepared and served appropriately), and the staff are friendly and welcoming. A well managed & welcoming venue, just perfect for a family lunch, evening meal or a night out for live music. They have a wonderful space for functions, and loads of room for parking! I'm a huge fan - in case you hadn't realised already. I can't rate/review the rooms simply because I haven't stayed here.

We stayed the night last night to be honest now I'm only going off experiences from before when we arrived. We were waiting a while and then we actually went and got someone to check us in. We went up to the room. The rooms looked clean that was until we looked on the bed. There was a dead fly under the pillow and little black bits all over the sheets Now I know it's impossible to get everything off the sheets when you put them on clean, but to me this was unacceptable in my eyes it just seems to me that there is a lack of care when cleaning the rooms we have stayed in this hotel before. last year the year before and the year before that and we had no problems whatsoever. The staff tend to go missing but you know they could be working else where in the building anyway we went out for dinner because I'm not a particular fan of the food in the pub and then we came back. Even though we had turned our radiator off. It was extremely hot in the room. We had the windows open etc and it was still very very warm which led to an uncomfortable night sleep. It seems to me that they're not maximised in staff. The people that now own the hotel and pub seem to me that they are purely profiting rather than customer satisfaction. We have breakfast this morning and it was rubbish. The sausage was cheap and tasted like s*** the egg wasn't even cooked properly and that was on my plate and my wife's. The mushroom tasted off. the only thing that was any good was the hash browns you get one slice of toast and that isn't even cooked the way I liked it. in a nutshell. Since this place has been taken over by redcat, it seems to me that the hell bent on just making money and not keeping with maintenance of the property, doubt there properly staffed and just need a general clean environment. Sadly to say we won't be returning to this hotel anytime soon. I thought I would put this on here because I don't like seeing people waste their money I speak the truth of all places and this one sadly gone down hill

I visited the restaurant last Friday with a friend for lunch having pre booked. We were made to feel very welcome upon arrival and given a choice of tables in the light and airy restaurant overlooking the veranda and garden areas. Our food order was freshly prepared very quickly and I have to say the meals were cooked to perfection and very generous in size. The service was second to none with our waiters being very attentive. Nothing was too much trouble. We were there by choice chatting for a long time but were left in peace until we were ready to leave. All in all a very pleasant experience and one I intend to repeat very soon.

I thought it was a legal requirement for pubs to show a price list.Having been ripped off in the past at other establishments I requested a wine list to see what was available,no wine lists existed.We ordered 2 glasses of chardonnay,one medium and one large and were charged over £18.On querying the price was just met with a glare and a shrug.Should have just walked away but had visited this pub for the first time in years and wanted to check it out with a view to booking a family dinner.Will not be back

It was bland. It wasn't awful nor was it good. But for the price I'd have expected more. The staff seem nice enough but overall this place seems quite soulless. I'd probably return here for drinks since it's a nice enough looking establishment. But with its loss of personality over the years, I'd not want to take anyone here for anniversary type events etc.

Dinner for a party of ten for Mother's Day 19 March 2023. The following is my review and does not necessarily reflect the views of any of the other guests. I had a two course carvery dinner and it was certainly the worst carvery I have ever had. (We were eating late afternoon/early dinner time). There were not many customers and I suspect that the food had been out for some time. The food was also by an open window on a not very warm day. As a result the food was, at best, luke-warm. I could see that the beef was undercooked so opted for the lamb. Unfortunately this was also undercooked, but it was also very tough, and completely tasteless. The vegetables I had were also tasteless. For dessert I had one of my favourite - lemon meringue pie with cream. I have never had lemon meringue pie before that had no meringue. On top of the pie was a sort of creamy mousse, and this was provided with some sort of cream and ONE raspberry all covered in an overly sweet caramel sauce. An extremely disappointing end to a very poor meal. The service was slow and since the restaurant was not very busy this was inexcusable. It is a couple of years since I last visited this restaurant which was poor then and despite what I believe to be new owners, has not improved.

A disappointing expensive cold carvery. With hindsight you’re paying an inflated price for a free child’s carvery with every adult one. We were 5 adults so didn’t benefit from this. The carvery was lukewarm. Very average. Service good. Desserts nice. But object to the 10% service charge being added on. Something I’ve only ever encountered in better restaurants than this. I’d like to decide what to tip! Wasn’t worth the extra £13 on our bill that’s for sure!

Can somebody please explain why a 10% Service Charge is being added to the Bill for a Self-Serve Carvery and why there is nothing on the Menu to inform Customers of this?

My partner, I and our pooch stayed at the Conningbrook to visit family. The staff were polite, attentive and thoughtful. They served us hot drinks out of service hours as I had family come visit during the day. Nothing was too much trouble. The only suggestion my partner would like to add are that the pancakes where overpriced. Thank you ladies for a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere, we'll definitely be staying again.

We stayed here with friends, prior to going over to France for my 70th birthday. A lovely welcome from the cheerful girl on reception. Our room was good, clean, well presented and perfectly adequate (room 38). As it was Sunday, the normal menu was not operating (it would have been good it it said on the website) but we all had a really good meal, the beef was as I like it, quite rare. Also pork, Turkey and hammon available. The Pinot wad rather £££, but what really struck us was how friendly yet staff were. We were well looked after (waitress with colourful highlights). A good night's sleep and in the morning a buffet continental breakfast and then a FRESHLY COOKED full English. That was lovely. Served by the same lady who met us on reception the night before, still cheerful. We learnt then that she was the General Manager, Janine. It is obvious she leads from the front. Thank you for a lovely stay. It would have been 5 * if the Pinot was a more sensible price, because the staff all deserved praise.

Reasonable choice of pub grub on offer, but you get the impression that the property needs a bit of a refresh or even a deep clean. Our table of four were placed next to the "fire doors" to the garden and therefore people were constantly passing us to go in and out from the garden where they were having a cigarette - usually leaving the door slightly ajar making it a very draughty spot. Good value food though and the service was OK.

We recently booked the Banqueting Suite at the Conningbrook Hotel Ashford Kent for my husband’s wake. From the moment we viewed the venue to the day before setting up, as well as the actual day itself, Ginnie and George couldn’t have been more helpful. Nothing...

First time here. They serve a decent pint and range of beers and all the staff were very friendly and helpful. Had a homemade Steak & Ale pie which was very good. Karaoke was on so I went to the other end of the pub but the locals seemed to be having a good time.

Really lovely meal at the Flying Horse - the service was excellent even though it was really busy. The atmosphere was really cosy and welcoming and the food excellent. They had a range of different menus, including a full gluten free one, which was great.

My friends and had luch at The Tickled Trout to celebrate a birthday. The whole experience was lovely, from the atmosphere food and service. The food was served very hot and we didn't wait too long. We wanted to drink a non alcoholic wine as we were all driving. The choice was good and the wine we chose a rose was lovely. The server, Kathy made it a wonderful lunch time and celebration. We'll worth a visit.

I'm searching for a different place with a different name in a different country. But no matter what i type or where i ask it to search, Google keeps forcibly changing my search term and showing me this place, so the poor review is collateral damage until google sorts itself out.

Very warm and welcoming with excellent service from friendly staff. Good live music and hearty portions of home cooked food.
