The Flying Horse Inn in Ashford

Came to Ashford to visit friends for my birthday and came here for a meal, the food was lovely and piping hot and the staff were very welcoming! Even had the pub singing happy birthday to me, will Definitely visit again on my next trip

We had lunch at the flying horse today and the food was lovely. Really big portions we had the meat pies and the meat was very tender . Lots of seasonal vegetables. It was a delight to eat there. The service was really good we had a very jolly waitress who looked after us . We will definitely visit again .

Sadly, since being taken over by a new landlord/tenant about a month ago (October 2024), I am having to reduce my opinion this pub from 'amazing' to 'ordinary' and the prices are no longer 'excellent value' but are rather high for mediocre food. The service is no longer provided by the friendly staff we were used to. We have been there for lunch twice since the new people took over and will not bother to go again. There are other 'ordinary' and expensive pubs nearer so no longer worth the drive.

We've been going to this lovely pub on the green for a couple of years and always enjoyed the wonderful food and service from very friendly young staff BUT recently it has new management and staff. We were very very disappointed with literally awful meals and far from friendly staff, particularly the I assume the manager. I honestly felt very unwelcome. They used to have an amazing cook but I assume they left when new management arrived. Such a shame.

Great food and service. Had the Mushroom Bourguignon Pie with mash and vegetables and it was devine. Good portions and all hot. Friendly staff. Reasonably priced. Nice to see a good selection of veggie/vegan options. Been before under previous management and same good standard.

Visited as I saw it was under new management and our previous visit wasn’t great. I was greeted by lovely smiling bar staff who were very happy to help, we ordered our food which was on our table within 15 minutes the portion sizes are very generous and the food is incredibly tasty if you want a traditional pub lunch in a beautiful location then this is the place to go we will be back

Had a lovely evening with my family. The food was amazing. I had steak and kidney pie it was delicious. Wife had lasagne said it was the best she has had. new team were so friendly and the service was spot on. Some great changes in just a few weeks. Cant wait to visit again next month

What a shame that this previously wonderful and friendly country pub has been taken over by rather unfriendly and almost rude people. I visited for our usual monthly evening meal with our lovely border collie dog only to find the veggie/vegan menu had gone with only one choice in its place. The service was brusque with the dog ignored ( he was always treated like a customer himself by the previous staff ) and my request for a bowl of water for him was ignored. There was no proper cutlery and I was given a dessert spoon to eat my soup. To top it all off I was overcharged by a whopping £24-00 which I didn't realise until my daughter pointed it out later! Although the money was refunded later I felt the evening was appalling and I would not go back even though I have always loved this particular pub until now.

In my opinion, not as good as it used to be, especially the pies. A pie should be a pie, not a stew between to pieces of puff pastry. It was tasty, but the puff was soggy bottom and flaky puff lid on top. Roast potatoes used to be an option, but now just chips, mash and sauté. Selection of main meals and puddings especially, a lot less than previous proprietor. Service was good.

After choosing a location for my Brothers 60th, to which we were both locals for many years and decided we would have a “family” get together at our “old local”. The afternoon went well with lots of jovial fun and reunion stories etc. We have an Autistic child that does need some supervision at all times, as do all children! Unfortunately this child decided to wonder off across to the village green but was quickly located by a member of our family and promptly returned. However we were confronted by the pub Manager with a tirade of fowl language telling us how we should have “kept a better eye on the child.” Firstly I do not appreciate being told with abusive language, and I mean abusive (swearing to the very extreme) in front of children! and secondly it was seconds that he was out of our sight. What an absolutely devastating end to what should have been a celebration of a 60th birthday. We have been frequenting this pub for over 40 years but be assured we will will never set foot in it again!

We often visit the pub for a drink when passing loads of different beers on offer , but today we decided to go in for lunch with friends , we all had the doorstep sandwiches whilst sitting in the garden . The sandwiches were really full of fresh cooked battered fish , and the sausage and red onion was superb , best pub sandwiches we've had , will definitely be eating their again ,

You will feel at home here from the first moment! Let go of all your pretenses here and be welcome! We stayed here. The bathroom is spacious and modern, the bedroom very old and higgledy-piggledy. An old-fashioned bed in it, where you sleep very well. The food is excellent and the menu looks traditional. Until it turns out that page 2 offers as many vegetarian and vegan dishes as the meat and fish dishes. They love nutritious food and luckily we do too. Furthermore, a great pub to have a beer while watching the cricket match.

Great Food ..Lovely atmosphere. Great Staff friendly and welcoming. Can't ask fir better 🤷

Lovely pub, great selection of drinks. Had an omlette and was generous and very well cooked and tasted great. Can get busy so book in advance otherwise you might not be able to get a table....

Warm, friendly staff and amazing food

Fantastic food, really friendly staff, tagliatelle was amazing, really big portions! Also very large vegan/vegetarian menu.

Enjoyed a lovely meal with some friends. Quality of food was very good and service from our Canadian server was excellent. Only negative was the quality for their toilets, which resemble poorly maintained public toilets, complete with stainless steel trough to pee into, broken taps, no flusher on toilet, toilet seat hanging off and very rusty toilet brush - a bit smelly too! Such a shame the very poor quality of their toilets let down this otherwise excellent restaurant.

very pleasant location for a quiet midweek drink....view over the green also pleasant 🌱🌞 Some benches in the front where we were sitting need replacing hence 4* not 5

Fantastic place, had a table for near on 20 people as a pre wedding meal and the food and staff were fabulous! Lovely setting. Highly recommended.

Great food with live music on a Saturday amazing service, amazing value. Would recommend the burgers and the lemon chicken. Chocolate fudge cake to die for

If you are in a camper-van park for free but eat the lovely food and drink the local beer!

I was very well looked after, staff asked me a few times, if I needed anything and if the room was OK. They also provided me with some scissors as I needed them urgently. As I had to leave early, a breakfast was prepared for me the evening before so I could've breakfast early in my room

Lovely country pub with fantastic hospitality! Good choice of drinks and wonderful food, the steak and ale pie is pretty special 😋. The staff are friendly and helpful and made us feel welcome. The room was good overlooking the quintessentially English cricket pitch. Lots of parking and places to sit inside and out. Breakfast was great too!!!! Thank you 😊

Amazing food, amazing service. Very accomodating.

Nice place great food but quite qulicky.

Great little pub , food was amazing , staff really helpful and friendly , stayed in our campervan at short notice , defo visit again

Nice village pub overlooking the village green. Small but classic sunday lunch menu. Tasty and reasonably priced.

Great pub food and good atmosphere.

Went for dinner and wasn't disappointed. Good, honest grub, with friendly service.

Perfect country pub with great garden

Very nice pub. Friendly staff, good beer and food, nice accommodation for walkers. No thrills but who wants them!

Been for lunch in a large group three times now and always good. Good choice of food for various appetite requirements, very generous portions and freindly and obliging staff. Highly recommend

Party of 8 only went for a meal. What food we had was very nice although limited. The sweet menu was extremely limited and not enough portions for what was wanted. It was boxing day so maybe could be expected but if you're open ...... Very nice setting over looking the village green Re visited on 11/5/24. Nice warm day, drinks and meal overlooking the green. Disappointing not to see a game of cricket on the green. Lovely afternoon

Free camping spot Beer garden and pub at the top Family and generous cuisine!

We have been stopping here for a few years now while travelling in our motorhome, the food is always good and the staff are always friendly, plenty of choice and a nice atmosphere in the restaurant and the bar. I would recommend

Look forward to coming back to see the live music...

Above and beyond. Great service. Lovely pub.

We stopped for lunch part way through a day of walking along the North Downs Way / Pilgrim's Way. Pleased to find a wide range of good lunch options, from sandwiches, jacket potatoes, lighter bites and pub classics. Quiche with chips and salad gets a partiuclar thumbs up. Staff were friendly and the bar area is cosy and convivial. We particularly appreciated the sofas!

One of my favourite pubs! The food is just wonderful, great traditional home style cooking. Which is just what I needed after a long drive and before an early ferry crossing the next morning. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. There are not enough stars to rate this pub.

Superb service and fab food. Ample parking. Very friendly. I will definitely go again

Staff very welcoming . Brilliant range of food. I can say this as a vegetarian in a group of 5 meat eaters. Fantastic atmosphere, great service ,had something on the menu for everyone. As an aside for some one who cooks to have a meal that was as good as my table if not better is a MASSSIVE hit for me.

Great pub. Lovely staff, food and varied menu. Will be back 👍

Staff were rude Had a I don’t care attitude about certain beer we had once had then not got it the next time I went in. Ok didn’t know the said beer was a one off now and then , ( think she was the management ) but there was no need to be really and truly RUDE.

Stop for lunch. Friendly staff and great food. Definitely worth a visit.

Delicious meal with friends, food was fantastic, never tasted chips as good! Service was fabulous. Looking forward to my next visit. Highly recommended.

Good value . Real food made here by someone who cares not frozen rubbish. Good size portions. Great friendly service. Real fire place . If I lived near by this would be my local. Will be going back soon

I always bring friends here when we take my dog for a walk, the sandwiches are proper, thing bread, plenty of filling with a real side salad not lettuce leaves, it's very dog friendly and the staff are always warm and welcoming, now in winter the log fire is going. A proper country pub with good food and great staff. 5*

Would give 10 stars if I could! The building and grounds were beautiful but what really set this place apart, were it's caring and attentive staff. After months of struggling to find a pub with this exact feeling and buzz, the flying horse has ticked all our boxes. 5/5

The people 'running' this place don't deserve the opportunity they've been given to operate what could and used to be, a first class welcoming English country pub in an enviable setting ! Very long wait just for (overpriced, (eg £3 lime & soda !) drinks in the garden which when they did arrive were incorrect & with the staff pretty clueless, not helped by quite an arrogant 'manager' telling people off for not adhering to his, (incorrect) version of covid rules on numbers seated. As soon as there is a change of ownership the better as I, like many I should think, will not be returning until everything starts to improve.

Has this place changed hands?? After having a lovely meal for my wife's birthday pre-pandemic lockdowns, we thought we would return with friends now that restrictions are easing. Booked a table for 6 several days in advance for 7:30pm. Should have noticed the red flags as soon as we arrived. We had to wait while they had to arrange the tables to seat 6 of us. No-one offered a drink while we were waiting. When the somewhat already limited menus arrived, we were told several items were not available. Should have walked away then but we persevered. Our starters took a fair while to appear, but then we waited over an hour for our main courses.which eventually arrived after 9pm, and when they did, one of our party's meal (the Sea Bass) was in inedible. It was lukewarm and under cooked. So put off was he, he refused to eat anything else. The rest of our meals were adequate at best. Our comments and complaints were met with total indifference. We were finally offered dessert around 10:15 which we all declined as it was way too late. The final straw was the staff made it sound that thet were doing us a favour by removing the inedible meal from the bill!! WON'T be returning.

Came in for dinner, the burger I ordered came out warmish and looked like it had just been thrown on the plate, nobody came to check back on us until we were finished and even then walked away with our plates before we could say anything. Waited 25 minutes for someone to come back and get us the bill. Poor experience all round, will not be back

Almost a two hour wait for our main course which , when it arrived was at best luke warm. I could not eat it - sent it back. The others in our party ate their's but not impressed. Little, almost no apology for lack of service or poor food. Would never recommend!

Popped on for a drink as staff were preparing "Eaton Tidy", soon to be on the menu. As can be seen we thought it was so bad we had to eat it all. Good selection of ales for the boys as the girls made this mess.

Three of us had a takeaway meal each. Two fish and chips looked, and reportedly were, very good. I had the pie, chips and vegetables. The pie was black around the edges, well overcooked, and with hard pastry. It should not have been served. The vegetables were undercooked and hard. However, the chips were first class.

Wow what a treat! Ordered two Yummy burgers and chips from here tonight. The food turned up exactly on time, hot, and by a polite delivery driver. The burgers were delicious, lovely homemade and soft brioche bins. The chips were amazing. A real treat from our usual lockdown dinners!!Would highly recommend

Sadly the food was a flop. Over priced and not wonderful quality or taste. A McDonald’s would have been a better option and half the price. Won’t be ordering a take away from here again. Sorry :-(

Wow! What a hidden gem! Food was amazing - had the cod. Good selection of wine. Cooked perfectly. Great atmosphere and friendly staff! Thank you - we will be back after lockdown!

Visited yesterday since new owners took over, great to see it spruced up. In short, back to it's best, food is excellent, great selection of drinks, great atmosphere, lovely team. Looking forward to many visits!

Have used this pub for years, but something tells me it now needs a shake up. Burger kitchen, not sure about this, its supposed to be a country pub.....medival at that....chips not to my liking. Beer garden has started to look a mess, abandoned appliance just sitting there. No umbrellas the whole summer, it was scorching up there sometimes. Gardens at front of pub, shabby. Will go back, but would just like to see some thought, time and effort put in.....please take this in the spirit it is given FH, just want to see it be a go to pub, like it always as been.

We're staying near by and drove past on our way here. So glad we decided to visit the food was absolutely amazing. The best chips I've ever had. Highly recommended. Thank you

We stayed for one night in a motorhome in the paddock area to the rear of the property. Stunning location but the entrance to the paddock was a little tight - so beware.The restaurant area was clean. Covid safeguards well planned.The food was great. It’s so nice to have proper home cooked chips - same for coleslaw, onion rings and burger.I have a thing about eating out and the restaurants can’t even be bothered to cook their own chips! Not in this case though. Service all fine.

Booked a one night stay. Sent 2 messages with questions - neither answered. Phoned on day before trip - good job I did. One question was whether we needed to book for breakfast. Was told that they weren't doing breakfasts, despite info being on website. Had to scramble a plan B.Room was OK. Bathroom was not. Took over 30 minutes to draw bath to a depth of 10cm and then the hot water ran out. Really poor

Nice food but glad it was half price for eat out to help out because I wouldn’t have been happy paying full price to sit in that dirty pub. Young blonde waitress was nice, but the place needs a scrub ! You have been closed during COVID why is it not clean? Furniture is all mismatched looks awful, chairs with holes in, garden just has loads of rubbish in. Used to be so nice here but new owners have ruined it. Now only a burger restaurant so rubbish menu too. Won’t be coming back.

I have been a customer a few times for their delivery menu as with corona and the fact I'm 8 months pregnant it suits me but according to their chef I am a fat c***. I complained to the manager who read and ignored my complaint. Congratulations you have lost my business. My family has had many meals at the flying horse but you have lost that business too and I'm sure knock on business from word of mouth of your foul, rude chef. Not a professional way to handle a complaint. A simple sorry, we will look into this would of sufficed.update.. Have phoned to be told manager/ owner is aware of the situation..will ring back.1 week later still no phone call back no reply to emails or messages even thou they have been read. Absolutely discusting..Food itself was burger bun was stail, very hard and the burger in many places like charcole very burnt reined !!Please avoid there are many beautiful places to eat where customers are valued and the food is amazing. This however is not one of them Direct message from the chef below calling myself a fat...

After spending the weekend in Kent, living in the area 37 years ago, nothing had changed. The Flying Horse was always a favourite so we decided to visit and have Sunday lunch after a long walk over Wye Downs. Different owners now but the food is fantastic. So fantastic roast, the lamb was melt in the mouth amazing, huge Yorkshire puddings, very friendly staff and amazing pub. What more can I say.

Came for a mid week meal and was really nice. Burgers were big and tasty, fantastic ‘real pub’ style chips and a generous portion of oniony coleslaw- perfect. They did a smaller version for the children too which they ate all of. Money off on the eat out scheme made it a perfect mid week treat. We’d definitely return again. Also, it was raining when we went, but plenty of space inside with tables far enough apart.

Mid week, mid day, post lockdown visit. Large sunny beer garden with plenty of distancing between tables. Attractive old pub. Well maintained ales. We all had flamed grilled burger with chips and found both to be very tasty. The staff were friendly including notably dog friendly. Great spot to start or finish a walk

£13 for a burnt and tasteless burger. We would have said something but the staff were too busy singing and talking about their weekend plans to check if everything was okay. The waitresses were actually quite childish, unprofessional and loud - really not what you want when trying to enjoy a meal and all you can hear is them. Also, IMO if you are going to make your whole menu burgers, then you need to make sure it’s the best burger for a country mile. Not a bang average, burnt and tasteless one. Definitely wouldn’t recommend.

Service poor! Very disorganised and food whilst sounding great on the menu was not particularly good. Food brought to table no cutlery! Desert brought to table and then asked "would you like a spoon". there was no other way to eat this desert than with a spoon! Some great ideas with the food combinations but more training organisation would make this a much better experience. Finally, something to bear in mind is they are only preparing burgers and not a vast range of food from a complex menu!

I stayed here for 4 nights with my friend who stayed for two nights and had a lovely stay. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the staff were welcoming and friendly. The food was delicious and would recommend it to anyone. Unfortunately the menu was limited on this particular visit which is understandable due to the coronavirus issue. However i have stayed here many times before and the food is always amazing. We were impressed with the procedures put in place for 2 metre distancing etc and felt completely safe. We will definitely be coming back again. Thank you for making my stay so easy, comfortable and attentive.

Fantastic roast dinner, piping hot and excellent service. Very generous servings Particularly recommend the slow roast lamb. Also offer smaller portions for children.The pub is managing their social distancing in an extremely efficient way. We have the added bonus of being able to walk to the pub on foot from home. Then enjoyed a walk back to help burn off the delicious food. This pub was excellent during the lockdown period and ran a grocery shop for the local community including delicious home made pies and take away/delivery roast dinner. We will definitely be back.

Ate here with a couple of work colleagues on their steak night and it was excellent. 2 x 12oz rump steaks with all the trimmings and a bottle of red for £30; the steak was very good and the wine very passable. Good service, a nice restaurant area and great value for money... not sure you could ask for more!

I'm veggie and there goats cheese or blue cheese tarts are gorgeous that you get with your traditional Sunday roast. Not so keen on your mushroom one last time though! Mr always has the beef brisket. Great homemade gravy, puffy Yorkshires and good selection of well cooked vegetables.Great for a pint and a burger, steak night but really is a nice large fresh roast xx

My wife and I were staying at the nearby spa hotel but decided on having a meal in this pub/restaurant as it had good reviews. Despite being a Saturday evening we were found a table. The restaurant is not very large.The staff were very helpfull and friendly.The meal was delivered in good time and lived up to EXPECTATIONS. overall good service and food reasonably priced.

January weekday lunch for my birthday was very enjoyable. This is a lovely kentish pub in a fantastic setting of Boughton Aluph. They currently offer a three course lunch for £10 during January. Why wouldn’t you try it. You get a choice of three items per course. I had mushrooms to start, garlic chicken breast for main and home made ice cream for desert.All of which were excellent Really recommend the flying horse. Thanks to Tom and his team for looking after us too Give it a go. Sunday roast is great too

Went with friends on a Monday evening . Pub has a restaurant but we sat in the bar area . Fantastic menu so much to choose from I went for the vegan pie my friends beef brisket pie all with fat chipsEverything was home made and delicious will be going back

Steak night here was excellent, sadly WAS !! Had many a great steak here not so tonight - service was poor and the food below par. my steak was gristle and not much flavour, a few elements of the order were incorrect, the waitress was pretty clueless . Nobody asked if we wanted any mustard or sauces and finally when we were just about finished we were were asked if everything was ok - too late !!!! Such a shame as loved it here and we had bought friends on recommendation they really wondered why ......... :(

We had a lovely meal here between Christmas and new year. There were some good veggie options available. Very well cooked and tasty. It's a nice cosy pub with a good atmosphere. The waitress was amazing. She was working the busy bar and restaurant because her colleague and not turned up for work. She kept her cool, was very professional and provided a good service with a smile. Would definitely recommend this pub for a meal.

As a family we go out probably every couple of months to eat. This place has been one of our favourites, including birthday dinners with friends.My daughter I ordered the ‘ Moules mariniere’. Which when received had a good quarter of unopened shells and hardly any mussels in the bowl. We are not ones for complaining but when asked if the meal was satisfactory we did point this out. No explanation was given so I then asked why this could have been. After talking with the chef, his reply being there was no mussels left in his pan, my daughter was left, still feeling hungry.I can honestly say that I have never experienced such ‘ couldn’t care less attitude by the catering staff itself and at the end of the day, management too’We have a birthday celebration coming up in 2 weeks, where last year, we celebrated it here, this year, we will not !

My family had Christmas Day lunch here. The whole experience was lovely. The food was amazing and the staff were very attentive even though it was very busy. Lovely atmosphere and would recommend to everyone. Big thank u to all who made our day special

Das Positive zuerst: der Service ist abends trotz vollem Haus freundlich, das Essen ist okay...Ansonsten: ein nichtschliessendes Fenster, feuchter Teppich, ein schreckliches Frühstück, serviert von einer unausgeschlafenen, missmutigen "Servicekraft"!Wir werden dort nicht mehr übernachten

2nd time here before our winter travels! Amazing food, we both thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The lady (Tracey) who served us was lovely and couldn’t do enough for us, thank u! Great experience on the 1 st night of our holiday! X

Just stopped in here before booking in at Eastwell manor and found a delightful cosy pub. A couple of open fires a buzzy atmosphere and a snack of mine a prawn cocktail beautiful presentation and had japapolno popper. All reasonable priced. Thank you

We booked a table but arrived early and were seated very quickly. The ambiance was warm and very comfortable. The roast dinners were great with a good selection of vegetables. The staff were hefpful but not intrusive. An excellent find on our walking holiday.

Excellent Steak Night meal = fabulous tasty tender Rump steak cooked really well with great chips and a fresh tasty salad . Our waitress was lovely and couldn’t do enough to help - we all really enjoyed the meal and it is great value washed down with a good house red - Wednesday ever £30 for 2 inc wine !!!

Where do I begin? Having recently moved into the village, I decided to invite my partner's parents to see the house and grab food at the local pub. My partner and her Mum had the roast; I tried some of my partner's roast Lamb and was met with a buttery goodness that brought back memories of Grandma's cooking. Honey roasted parsnips were also amazing.

Visited here for lunch. Bit of a chilly greeting but the menu looked promising & the food delivered! Unfortunately our order for 6 people was not put through at the same time so we ended up eating at slightly different times but the staff were very apologetic. The food was delicious - massive, tasty burgers, hot fresh whitebait, fat chips. We will definitely return to try more of the menu.

Sorry but we gave this place a try as it was being promoted on local radio , it’s hardly a warm welcome, I tried chatting to the barmaid while she was pouring our drinks ,she was very pan faced and never smiled once and had a job to reply , it’s a shame as the food was good when we went through to the restaurant but I wouldn’t go back just for a drink as it’s clearly to much trouble for some people

Called in Wednesday evening and ordered 2 steaks with bottle of wine for £30. Steaks delicious and perfectly cooked, with chunky chips and salad. Had sauce for an extra £3 - also delicious. Can't remember when I've enjoyed a meal so much - very good value for money too.

we came across this little gem last week both me and my husband going for a country drive and stopped for dinner the food was amazing and the choice of Gins my husband was please with to....we divided to book for Sunday roast with friends and WOW how lovely was this all the meats were tender every thing home cooked not out of a bag or microwave like some pubs....and good portion sizes will definitely be going out of our way (we are not local to this pub) and be coming back here, hats off to the chef

Found this place after being hugely let down by a large establishment down the road. Im so glad we found this lovley friendly place. The welcome was pleasant, we were shown to the restaurant by the girl at the bar who was very friendly.

We arrived at this pub, wet and muddy, after walking 14 miles of the South Downs Way. There was no washing/drying facilities for our walking gear which was filthy. Accommodation very basic and we didn’t get to sleep until after midnight as rooms are located above the restaurant/bar area.

My steak was delicious, tender flavoursome and cooked to perfection !! Great chunky fries and salad on the side. Nice staff and friendly service Will be back !!

De pub round the corner. Vooraf nachos: geen guacamole bleek bij navraag; werd niet zelf door de bediening gemeld. Kaas was niet gesmolten. Slechte start dus. Ik had vervolgens geluk met een redelijke, wat opgepimpte hotdog. Slechte frietjes dat wel. Maar twee anderen hadden echt pech: vega lasagna die niet gaar en helemaal uitgedroogd was (geen bechamel te bekennen). Vega chili met rijst: alleen maar heet en ongare rijst. En surprise: de saus van vega chili en vega lasagna was identiek en niet te pruimen bovendien. Wie vult er nu een lasagna met chilibonen?! Beter zelf koken of ergens anders eten.

We stayed overnight on our walk to Canterbury. We had hoped for an early start but coming downstairs we found the main bar area locked and it took them half an hour to locate keys. Instead of an 8 o'clock breakfast we eventually had breakfast at 9. Very few apologies and nothing had been laid out the previous night. Our food the previous day was mediocre too. We shall not go back in a hurry.

Took my elderly mother here for lunch today, very disappointed... We ordered two simple meals (ploughman's and jacket potato with chicken breast. Bread in ploughman's was obviously left from the weekend and renamed in slices in an attempt to freshen but just made it rock hard.potato very dry and these two awful meals took over an hour to arrive....hate to think what would happen if they were busy, we will not be back or recommend.

Bar area seemed very noisy although it was a Friday evening Restaurant was not as busy as might be expected. Food was palatable but nothing to write home about. Ambiance no great shakes. Better locations around.

Authentic local country pub with cosy atmosphere, front tables on the cricket loan, large back garden. Good choice of dishes to accommodate everyone's taste. Friendly and professional staff.

Booked with friends and worst 3 hours, 7pm Friday and the bar was full of very loud men many children present and language totally unsuitable for a family. They could only find 3 menus after 10 minutes so opted for further drinks and the gin selection is excellent. Shown to our table in the restaurant which only had a few other diners. Starters took 45 minutes to arrive (Garlic bread, salt chips, stuffed potato skins) all rather disappointing and when I was stil eating the waitress wanted to clear the table. Another long wait for our main courses, gammon ham - burned and fatty, chicken burger - overcooked and dry, ham, egg n chips OK burger n chips OK but the pulled pork could not be pulled, torn or hacked into with a sharp knife, this was returned and promised that another was just being prepared. Everyone had finished by the time the dish was served but again it was not edible, the waitress just cleared the table no apology for the spoint meal. After waiting for another 10 minutes she offered a drink on the house but by then our evening had been ruined. We will not return.

De heerlijk ongedwongen sfeer, eenvoudige kaart en voldoende keuze uit diverse drankjes trekt ons opnieuw voor een ‘onderweg’ overnachting met de camper in de paardenwei. Eenvoudig goed
