Excellent attentive service and beautifully presented great quality food. Option of two or three course lunch menu. Limited choice but this makes the quality so much better. Great lounge area for pre dinner drinks or coffee after. There is a separate front bar for less formal bar snacks.

I was taken to the Kentish Hare for a birthday Sunday lunch. The food at this restaurant was very high quality. I had yellowfin tuna tartare starter which came with watermelon, avocado and orange ponzu, it was divine. For a main course my son-in-law and I shared a roast beef dish and I finished with Bramley apple crumble. My wife and daughter had fishcake followed by roast lamb and then Amalfi lemon parfait. The main course came with a selection of perfectly cooked vegetables. There was a good and varied wine menu and a selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails. I had the non-alcoholic passion fruit martino shown in the picture. It was all delicious. The portions were generous and the service was friendly, efficient and quick. The atmosphere was relaxed and we could see the chefs working in the open kitchen. I will be returning frequently.

I popped in for a cheeky lunch here this week, having been before and being in the area(ish). I was warmly greeted and seated straight away. The menus were provided, and the set lunch option was an obvious choice. The staff are very attentive to dietary requirements and ask about allergies before taking your order. I chose the terrine to start with, which arrived with some sourdough bread on the side. The terrine was made up of chicken ham and black pudding and was delicious. It had a great texture mixing the chunks of ham and chicken with the softer black pudding. Served with a little salad leaves and some shitake and date ketchup. It was very tasty indeed. Next, I went for the lamb and ordered a side order of hispi cabbage. This was an absolutely delicious plate of food and very well executed. The lamb was a rolled shoulder that was incredibly flavoursome and a little crispy and not soggy and fatty. Served with this was the most smooth and decadent mashed potato. A few turnips and some leaves of perhaps Cavalo Nero and a plentiful amount of sauce (jus) made up the rest of the plate. Delicious! Now, I am going to mention the side dish of hispi cabbage as it was without doubt the best cabbage I have ever had. It was simply delicious. Yes a bowl of cabbage.!! It was just cooked and well seasoned, and coated with white miso, butter, and chili. It really was fabulous. I should have stopped here, but my greedy side came out when they offered dessert, and I saw the Bramley apple crumble and custard. It's apple crumble, big deal? Under a big mound of crunchy pebble like crumble was a tart but sweet, deep pile of apple, unmistakably Bradley's. A little jug of vanilla custard on the side finished it off. The crumble was buttery, yet crunchy, the apple was pure Bramley deliciousness and the custard, warm, not hot, not too thick and heavy with vanilla. The most comforting choice for a dessert and it certainly delivered. All in all, everything i ate was well thought out and very tasty. Now I must also mention the staff, who were attentive but not intrusive, very engaging and knowledgeable about the menu too. I also want to mention the young lady who greeted me and found me a table. I don't think she was waiting staff, as such, but more the front of house and bar manager. (I apologise for not getting her name). She worked nonstop, always on the go, and always cheerful. There is a great team at the Kentish Hare, making for a great experience. I will certainly be back again for sure.

I hate writing reviews about great places because it means it becomes more popular and the prices go up but the 'Hare' is just wonderful and punches way above its weight. Food, service and ambience are all top- notch. I only hope I can still get a table in the future!

This was our first visit to the Kentish Hare. We booked a table for a Thursday lunchtime and chose from the fixed price three course menu. The pub/restaurant itself is modern clean, airy and informal and, when we went, not particularly busy. The service was friendly and attentive but not overbearing and the food was well thought out, superbly cooked and very tasty. The wine list was not extensive but covered all the bases and looked well considered. All in all, it was a great experince, fantastic food at a reasonable price (certainly for the quality). We're so glad we discovered this gem and will definitely be coming back.

My second visit here and this time for Sunday lunch. Sunday lunches in pubs are often very hit and miss with roast beef in particular being often unsatisfactory. My Kentish Hare roast beef was excellent, tender, succulent, perfectly cooked and accompanied by light Yorkshire pudding, crisp, fluffy mashed potatoes and a generous selection of interesting vegetables. Starters were great too, quite delicious and presented skilfully. My rhubarb pavlova dessert was superb. Couldn’t fault anything and when service is efficient, friendly, perfectly timed and competently executed, you know you’re in a superior establishment. Will certainly return, The Kentish Hare is very special.

Most visits have been for dinner, but we decided to go for lunch because the menu is different with some intriguing dishes. We both had the Brown sugar cured Loch Duart Salmon followed by the Line caught pollack. We spontaneously agreed that this was the best lunch we have had for a very long time. In the case of both dishes the quality of the raw materials, the preparation, the cooking and the presentation were sublime; apologies for failing to show a picture but conversation overtook that consideration. Greedily, I had the Saint Domingue chocolate Namelaka which was smooth and rich as it should be. Our server was warm, friendly and attentive. My wife had a Bloody Mary and I had a pint and we had some sparkling water. We thought the bill was good value for a first class lunch. Most impressed!

It’s great to find a pub that doesn’t serve pub grub. The Kentish Hare is a real find, providing an interesting innovative menu, beautifully presented, perfectly cooked flavoursome dishes which illustrate culinary skill and real understanding of palate. This is a super place with efficient, accommodating and friendly staff. Its interior is modern, but period features have been retained and it’s lovely to see open log fires. I highly recommend The Kentish Hare.

Last Friday, a dear friend booked a dinner for us at this restaurant. Three couples were booked for 8 pm, and we arrived 15 minutes early. The decorations and ambiance were welcoming. James, our server, politely informed us that our table wasn't ready because other guests were still dining. We went to the bar and had a drink. Our table was ready by 8:20 pm, a bit later than expected, but we didn't make a fuss. We ordered still water and a red wine, Saint Clair New Zealand Pinot Noir. For starters, we ordered various dishes, and I opted for the ravioli with mushroom and English truffle. Keep in mind that English truffles have a subtle flavor, working well when you want a touch of truffle without overpowering other ingredients. Unfortunately, I wasn't aware of this until I tasted it, and it turned out to be quite tasteless. English truffle won't be my choice again. We enjoyed several delicious main dishes, and I decided to go with a bottle of Stellenrust SIMPLICITY SHIRAZ: CABERNET SAUVIGNON-MERLOT, recommended by James. I chose the slow-cooked lamb (10 hours), but, apologies to James, due to excessive seasoning, the classic lamb flavor was overshadowed, making it taste more like beef. Overall, it was an amazing experience, and I'd love to return, but I'll steer clear of the lamb next time.Nick

The Kentish Hare is a fabulous pub/restaurant where the food never disappoints. The menu has something for everyone and the food really is delicious. It appears diners travel from far and wide to enjoy the Kentish Hare and consequently there is always a great atmosphere both in the bar area and the restaurant. The staff are attentive without being annoying and go the extra mile to ensure you enjoy your time there.

Visited here a few weeks ago, not a pleasant experience for several reasons, too long and drawn out to explain but we were treated badly and regular customers were put before us in unfair circumstances, we only gave a 1* because it’s not possible to give a zero, food mediocre and certain foods not available (we got there when they opened and ordered immediately) why then place the food on the menu?! Would not return or recommend this place certainly does not deserve a mention in the michelin list very dissapointed

Food was excellent, my husband had a fillet steak that didn’t look or taste like it was barbecued despite the menu stating all steaks were cooked on one but otherwise the food was faultless. What let this place down was the service, it unfortunately really lacked in that area. It was quite a cold atmosphere and I would say that 80% of interactions with the staff were because we had to flag someone down. We found that certain people were just stood around not doing anything but I got the feeling it was because there was a hierarchy of staff and certain employees only doing certain things which is quite common in high end restaurants but it didn’t work out well here in this instance. We didn’t order from the set menu & whilst it worked out quite expensive I would say that portions were on the large size which was good, but in all it was 2.5hrs to have a 3 course meal which I feel is too long.

This was the first time we ate here and it was superb. It's not 'huge' portions because it's Masterchef quality. You can have snacks, starter, mains, pudding & coffee without feeling bloated and great value for money. Lovely staff and enough of them so that service is exemplary. There were four of us and we all agreed it was a great experience and we are coming back.

Chance find. After a short wait we were shown to our table. We had three different styles of burger. Steak, chicken and mushroom. All were delicious. Special mention goes to the fries. Double fried. Crisp outside and floury insides. Bl"*dy delicious, and we all agreed. Deserts...one of my companions had the honeycomb ice-cream and absolutely raved about it. She's 11 years old. Meantime we adults had coffees. Again delicious and my other companion asked if they had almond milk ....and they did! Service impeccable. WHAT a lucky find. Sadly I live 70 miles away or this would be my favoured place to go. Try it. You won't be disappointed.

The Kentish Hare is great pub in Bidborough, Kent. Unlike other pubs in the area, the food is fantastic. You pay 'London prices' but it is definitely worth it. The service was very good as well.

I would like to be more positive because it is a hard time to run a restaurant and getting skilled staff is far from easy. The restaurant on a Thursday was full so there may be plenty of demand but we found the prices to be above what the meal was worth. The food was good (but not excellent or particularly memorable) and the young servers did try but this is not their strongest suit. The gap before the dessert arrived was far too long and we watched others being served faster. Worth a try but don't set your sights too high.

Saw this recommendation on the Michelin website as a Bib Gourmand. High quality food at a cheaper price point than a Michelin Star. We went for a Sunday Lunch. Place was very busy and we booked online a while in advance to secure a spot. Walk-ins are welcome but at busy periods you might be disappointed in not getting a seat. Decor and atmosphere were very nice. Staff were friendly and attentive. Nice and cosy pub. Of course, the food was excellent. We had 1 minor issue with a hair in one of our starters which is why I rated it 4 stars. Stuff like this happens even in the best of places. I would go back as I think this is a one off. Apart from that, everything was great. Portion sizes for the roast were generous and the side of veg was huge. The quality of the food is amazing, everything is fresh and flavourful. You can really tell that they use high quality ingredients to get started. Plating is very pretty too if you are into that. We paid £40 per person for a 3 course Sunday lunch. After drinks and service charge it was just over £210 for a group of 4.

The tuna cervice was very nice but needed something extra to fire up the taste buds. The roast beef dinner was also very good. I asked for my beef to be medium as I was informed it would be pink but it still came out rare but not a major issue. There was only 2 small quarter roast potatoes on the plate - a suggestion here would be to include an additional plate of potatoes with the vegetable selection which was very very tasty. The biggest disappointment was the Pavlova as the merengue was particularly dry and sugary - not a hint of chewiness, or feeling of being home made. The staff and ambience was fantastic. We were the last ones to leave the terrace and would have been perfectly happy to stay longer as it was a beautiful afternoon. £125 per couple was above average for a restaurant Sunday lunch but this is Bidborough. I would certainly recommend The Kentish Hare to friends etc. with a couple of small caveats but will definitely be going back.......

I came here for my birthday with my husband, We had a lovely evening. We arrived an hour early for drinks and sat in the garden and the service was incredible,Very attentive and down to earth. They made me my favourite cocktail a cosmopolitan even though it was not on the menu. On the table was fresh sweet pea flowers and a citronella candle that kept the wasps mainly at bay while we where eating which was a lovely touch. We chose an array of picky bits from the starters including there freshly baked bread which was heavenly. For mains we shared a steak and sides which was prepared expertly and tasted scrumptious! Highly recommend even just to sit in the garden for drink 🍸 👌 😋 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
