Is a lovely traditional pub with an amazing staff and a fantastic atmosphere. The people, both in the pub and in the surrounding area, were incredibly welcoming. We can’t wait to come back and try the food!

Lovely traditional inn beside the river Bourne (stream really) which was full of Chub. Very low ceilings and lots of character. Very friendly bar staff. Food is simple, but it is not expensive.

We came across this beautiful pub on a walk from the hop farm. Forgive me, for not remembering names, this place, the people that work here, provide a fantastic family atmosphere and service beyond ,and the most fabulous selection of food with excellent taste. Total value for money. We will most definitely be back here. Thank you.

Lovely pint of beer in a lovely location. The place was mostly empty but still told no food without a booking. Not even the chance of a sandwich or chips. It’s something I’ve never experienced before in an English pub. I understand not being able to provide restaurant food without a booking but not even being able to provide a bar menu just seems like inefficient kitchen management.

What a fantastic little pub by a beautiful river, full of chub fish and wild pond plants. A really good choice of food on the menu, fresh produce and very tasty. Friendly staff too. Lots of outside tables and some with umbrellas. Will definitely visit again and highly recommended. Loved it

What a lovely gem of a pub. Lovely pub on the inside with old features. Plenty of ales on offer and then there's outdoors. The beer garden. Wow. This is it's selling point. If your passing through then stop here. The food looked good too. The stream next to this pub is beautiful. Just lovely with the trout swimming there. Recommended

Lovely day so we thought we’ll have a drive to you pub, we arrived at 11:30 parked in car park too give our dogs a half hour walk and back for a meal in your garden, but we was confronted by a very rude member of staff who said car park was reserved for people who have booked tables and said park somewhere else, so we said if I take the trouble to park somewhere else we’ll eat somewhere else too which she replied good, I’m glad because we parked at the Chaser inn at Shipbourne lovely walk lovely meal lovely staff so your loss we will not return.

Went for a walk with the wife and kids and stopped in for some lunch, asked for a table of 4 to be told we are fully booked.... with about 8/9 empty tables in the restaurant section. Then told we can try and fit you inbetween the other bookings. Asked can we sit in the bar and and have a drink and wait, then asked if we would like to see the menu, ordered and served as we sat at which point one more table was used in the restaurant. Sitting their we can hear "the locals taking about us" very uncomfortable felt like the children wasn't welcome, typical pub in a village that time has forgotten, food wasn't anything special. Couldn't wait to leave

A lovely country pub. Low beamed ceilings and an outside area to sit and have a drink. If you are going to eat there you must book first as it is very small. The menu is limited but what they do offer is well cooked. I had battered hake chios and peas. The batter was light and not grass and the chips were amazing - some of the best I've ever had. My husband had steak with a mushroom sauce which was very good. Again the dessert menu was limited but we had local ice cream which was delicious.

Great little pub by the river. We stopped by to get away from traffic and hoped to get food (a Thurs evening) but as with many places now no food during the week sadly. Enjoyed a couple of our favourite Harvey’s Best beers sitting outside and there was a nice vibe and fairly busy, haven’t been for a while but will come back soon hopefully for lunch.

I fell in love with this place immediately. Being a 6ft 3 specimen (dont know what I'm allowed to call myself anymore), manoeuvring through the bar can be somewhat tricky as the lovely old beams and joists are somewhat low. That's said, it's lovely. Staff were very efficient and very friendly to non regulars and that's not always the case in certain establishments. Outside is the kicker. Beautiful stream with fish, ducks and a lovely old hump back bridge run alongside the pub. I'm guessing this is VERY busy in the summer. Can't give a review on the food because we didn't eat.

I don't get to this pub often enough, but having been a marshal at Tonbridge parkrun in the morning I decided to swing by as I drove home cross country. A member of staff came to speak to me as I waited for the pub to open, but only to inform me that every table was booked! I went in for a drink at the bar. The pub is very old, the ceilings are very low, and it's in a great location next to a river. And if one is a Man of Kent (born east of the River Medway), it's great to have our own pub 😉

We stopped on the way to Margate looking for a nice lunch. VERY unwelcoming staff and zero attempt to accommodate our party. If you’re passing by - keep going! There are much friendlier places down the road. Too bad zero stars isn’t an option. They made that little effort. Seriously.

Nice in the summer! If you are tall ,then you better enter on your hands and feet! I have never eaten there so I can't comment on the food. The only downside is the ciders and beers as craft selection would suit this pub down to the ground, but if you are in the area visiting on a summers day then you can't go wrong. Take some bread and feed the chub in the stream.

This a pub I visited during a day walk. It sits on the edge of the River Bourne, where you can watch a school of wild but domesticated chub hanging about in flowing water. The pub has a very low ceiling so you may need to lean over a little when walking through. I was there lunch time midweek, and it was very quiet and relaxed. The staff were welcoming, and the food was well presented. From my visit there was nothing to be negative about, quiet the opposite..

Lovely little pub in rural East Peckham, with the beer garden adjacent directly to a trout stream - even a few ducks can be spotted occasionally! Wonderful view to enjoy while enjoying a crisp pint on a sunny day. Indoors it is a traditionally furnished pub with low beams, so if you’re a tall fella like me you’ll have to bend down to get in and walk around, but once seated it’s so cosy! Staff are nice. Great place! Loses a mark for not having decent options on the menu for vegetarian/vegans. Missing a trick there! Also, quite pricey….
