We decided on the spur of the moment to visit The Rose because it’s set in a beautiful village and we hadn’t visited in some time . They were friendly when we phoned for a Sat evening table and welcomed us when we arrived. It was 6.15pm and Parking was easy and most of the customers were in the beer garden but we decided with some others to eat inside. It became quite full but the staff remained happy and helpful. It’s a proper country pub of the old school I’d say, especially for kent with hops hanging and wooden floors , people with dogs and children welcomed too. The food was excellent pub food and all home made, down to the tartar sauce. Lovely staff and landlady in that day.

The Rose Inn is the perfect English country pub. Delicious food, a great range of drinks, a gorgeous pub garden and traditional Kentish hops decorating the inside. Everyone who works there is so kind and helpful, and the pub really has a lovely, welcoming feel to it. Wickhambreaux is really lucky to have this amazing spot!

Lovely warm friendly welcome. Asked if we would like a drink at the bar first. I like this. Nice to take in the pubs warm atmosphere before being seated to eat. It had a lovely cosy traditional Kentish Pub feel. Lovely smiley ladies waited on our table. We were 2 couples for Valentines. We did all pick from the Valentines menu but there was plenty of other options and specials as well. All our food was fantastic. 3 Monkfish and chorizo skewers, 1 broccoli and stilton soup. The sharing Cote de Boeuf was a huge platter with all the trimmings. Looked amazing and tasted it too. The chicken and my beetroot wellington were better than I expected. The Rhubarb posset with ginger biscuits was so delicious. Would go back just for that!! We noticed the pints were a very reasonable price. Will definitely be returning. Cannot recommend enough. Please support this super pub before they all disappear. Thanks for a lovely evening, not rushed in any way. Great staff. Fantastic Food

Lovely village pub on the green. Gemma and Sam were very friendly and welcoming. It was cold outside but the log fires inside soon made you toasty warm. The pub has a lovely relaxed atmosphere. Food was excellent, we both had steak which was cooked to perfection. Will definitely be returning.

Whilst staying in the village it seemed rude not to try the 'local' ! Very glad we did, as the welcome was friendly, the beer was well kept and the atmosphere was nice all round. We also entered the quiz and sampled the Curry - the food was good and decent value, the quiz was well organised and fun too.....

Nice little pub lovely friendly atmosphere unfortunately the food doesn’t match its feeling. Roast Dinner is limited choice and bland in taste also presentation poor. The meat had little flavour and cabbage (white variety)had no seasoning or butter chopped into it. Carrots looked dried up cauliflower cheese hard and not baked in the oven just thin sauce, lots of big hard lumps in swede and watery gravy. Not cheap at £21 so all in all not a good experience such a shame as it’s fairly local to us.

Good start we arrived and our table was ready and we had a warm welcome from a couple of the staff. Unfortunately I think this restaurant maybe suffering something that so many restaurants are in this country and that is unfortunately having to hire “young”, and this is not ageist, inexperienced staff. One of the most important things when serving people is to just be friendly and polite- which was very visible from the full time staff- but unfortunately the less experienced staff this wasn’t. To give an explanation when we were finishing our mains one of the table was still eating, and the plates started to be cleared when we asked to wait until we are all finished it became very uncomfortable. Cannot understand the reason for that as we asked politely and somebody was eating still. We also felt like we got there between first service and second service maybe? Our plates seemed to be sparser than the plates we saw before and the plates we saw after. Portions weren’t huge. The thing that got us all going more than anything was the cheese sauce on the cauliflower didn’t cover the cauliflower and it was very visible that the cauliflower had that brown tinge to the florets. Starters were nice but small, and desserts were nice. Which is what brings it up to average, as you will note from my many many restaurant reviews I am quite lax to give poor reviews and try to find positives. We only went to The Rose as the restaurant where we were going, which is the closest restaurant to The Rose, could only fit us in at a later time and we wanted to lunch early, but we do wish we had waited. Pluses- experienced staff all seemed lovely. Starters were nice. Nice pub atmosphere. Allow dogs. One of the ladies noted we had waited a long time for our food and offered us tea/coffee on the house but to be honest we hadn’t noticed the wait as with our disappointment with some of the service and the quality of the roast dinner. Negatives- inexperienced staff who should be politer. Roast dinner. Portion size. Two pork belly ordered only one got crackling and that was when they asked as it had been left off and we had been told the dish came with crackling. Lack of potatoes and when we asked for more we were told it would be 25minute wait??

This was a super Sunday pub lunch. Welcoming atmosphere, log fire, dog friendly, great service (very understanding despite us being half an hour late due to flooding encountered on our pre-pub walk). Very good starters of whitebait, prawn cocktail and BBQ ribs, and big portions of roast beef and pork belly. Excellent desserts such as forest fruits crumble. Only point for improvement - more than one cask ale on offer would be good.

Denise gave us a warm welcome, the pub on Google is mistakenly marked as permanently closed - it is certainly open. We had a pint of beer and cider respectively both very well kept. The menu looks fantastic, we shall be returning to sample the food. The location is completely unique, on the green in Wickhambreaux beside Wickhambreaux Court which features in Michael Powell’s war-time classic ‘A Canterbury Tale’. The pub itself has landlords dating back to 1718 and the site itself has had a dwelling on it from the 14th century. What more do you need to know - visit yourself for a truly English experience with a friendly welcome. The church, just a few steps away, is worth a visit too, dating from the 14th century it boasts a famous window of major Art Nouveau significance depicting the Annunciation with many angels on a field of lilies.

We visited today, thinking it had shut down. Not at all! It’s had a change from its previous tenants and is welcoming one and all. The location is simply breathtaking and the welcome warm. If you want the absolutely perfect ancient English village, complete with beautiful church, river, mill and grand houses full of rich history, then you should look no further than Wickhambreaux. Amazingly, it doesn’t have a million instagrammers and tiktokers spoiling the views, so visit, have a pint, sample the food, the views and meet the lovely owner. There’s even a stream nearby reputed to be fought over by a saint and two Norse gods. Yes, really. Picture perfect? Oh yes.

Looks like a nice place and started well. The starters were nice. One main looked like a dogs dinner but tasted ok while the other looked ok but was sadly inedible. We sent it back uneaten (I never send food back and hate complaining in restaurants). We were then ignored until we asked for the bill. When we asked why we were expected to pay full price for food that wasn't eaten we were told "because other people hadn't complained". All of this was with the very young server while the shift supervisor avoided us (not easily done in such a small place so props for that). We paid the full bill and left without further comment as we didn't want to ruin other patrons experience. The female shift supervisor did manage to shout "goodbye" to us over her shoulder with her back to us which made us feel great.

A nice welcome in a lovely Kent village setting. Sunday lunch - overall opinion was it was found wanting. Sunday roast for our family is deemed to be generous with fresh vegetables and big fat roasties. This wasn’t. Limited menu generally isn’t an issue but strangely we asked if one of our party could have just ice cream for dessert, to be told no as it was all portioned out for the sticky toffee pudding. However, the one dessert our party had - they enjoyed.

Maybe we were unlucky. The tiny plates thing is just silly as we ended up with quite substantial portions of, sadly, rather horrid food., crammed onto plates which were too small. The ribs were in a sauce that tasted of Bisto gravy granules and worcs sauce and didn’t seem very fresh either. Honestly unpleasant to recall, even over a month ago. Other dish was scallops with morcilla so that bullied all other flavours from the plate. We didn’t dare try anything else.

We’ve been a couple of times this year and thought we’d call in on our way home for a quick drink. Ended up having dinner and so glad we did. The chicken pie was delicious with the most amazing pastry top. And the ginger cake with butterscotch sauce just fab. Would definitely recommend this pub to everyone, with pleasant staff and fantastic food what else do you need ?

Service was excellent and friendly. We did a mixture of dishes having eaten too well at breakfast. I had fish soup which was very intensely flavored and I loved it (wife didn't). The intensity really needed some bread with it but at 5 quid extra I wasn't bothering. We tried the fish terrine too, but it was overwhelmed by the soup so that combination didn't work. Wife had a shallot and goat cheese thing which she liked very much, I didn't. Had Kent blue cheese and fennel pickle for pud. Very nice indeed. Wife had blood orange meringue. The flavour of the pod was great but the base less successful. The meringue was mushy then blow torched. Modern technique I suppose, but just shove it in the oven, it works much better. This was so much more interesting than the standard pub gate that seems to be the norm round here, but I can't see their pricing structure serving then well. Beer was local and first rate.

I had family come from Greece so wanted them to experience a Roast Dinner, We were recommended the Rose Inn ....only to be disappointed. I wanted to complain whilst there but did not want to embarrass our friends. There was another table that complained whilst we were there refusing to pay the bill. The roast was served on child size plates. Te beef was too tough it was difficult to chew. It was served with cabbage and roast potatoes not other vegetables or choice of potatoes. one small bowl for 3 people to share. The soup (celeriac was tasteless and by the time we got it, it was cold). Service was good but overall a very disappointing meal.

Estuvimos aquí como familia la semana pasada y nos decepcionó ver el menú "especial" de Eat Out to Help Out, todo lo cual estaba siendo cocinado por un tipo en una furgoneta de hamburguesas afuera. El menú no era excelente y Dios mío, era caro: 20 por 2 platos es ridículo (oh, pero está bien, ¡ya que solo tienes que pagar 10!). El costo de nuestras bebidas era exorbitante: una pinta de cerveza por más de 6 es una locura y casi 8 por una copa de vino. ¡Eso sin mencionar el 2 por un vaso pequeño de leche! Pedí la ensalada de halloumi: 2 rodajas de halloumi y el resto era principalmente lechuga. No se ofrece aderezo, aparte de agregarle un poco de vinagre de un paquete. El hombre de la camioneta se olvidó por completo de la comida de mis hijos, por lo que los dejaron esperando durante años para comer. Tuvimos un curso y nos llevó más de una hora y media, era ridículamente caro y no tan bueno. Aprecio que estemos en tiempos difíciles en este momento, pero esta no fue una buena experiencia.

Visitamos el 29 de agosto de 2020 en familia. Habiendo telefoneado con anticipación y preguntado si estaban preparando comida (a lo que dijeron que sí), nos sorprendió mucho aparecer y encontrar comida en una furgoneta de hamburguesas de al lado. Decidimos intentarlo de todos modos, sin embargo, si hubiéramos sabido de antemano que no era comida tradicional de pub, habríamos encontrado otro lugar para comer. Solo desearíamos que nos hubieran informado por teléfono de que era de la furgoneta de hamburguesas.Apenas habíamos puesto un pie en la puerta cuando nos dijeron que nos esterilizáramos las manos, está bien, no es gran cosa. Encontramos un lugar para sentarnos y preguntamos si podíamos cerrar la puerta abierta ya que afuera soplaba un vendaval y había muchas corrientes de aire. Nos dijeron que no, ya que era parte de sus medidas de control de COVID - 19. Entendimos completamente y encontramos otro lugar para sentarnos. Lo que nos molestó fue 30 minutos más tarde cuando la camarera decidió que tenía frío, ¡lo cerró! ¿Una regla para uno, otra para el otro? ¿Covid - 19 se ha convertido en una amenaza menor en esos 30 minutos?Salimos a pedir nuestra comida en la furgoneta de hamburguesas. Mientras esperaban la comida, un grupo de 4 ingresaron al pub y la camarera les dijo que usaran el esterilizador de manos junto a la puerta antes de dirigirse al bar. Mientras hacían lo que les habían dicho, la camarera dijo: "¿Pueden pararse detrás del biombo, por favor?". (Había mamparas frente a las cajas del bar). La señora dijo "pero acabas de decirme que me esterilice las manos aquí". La camarera respondió "sí, pero una vez que lo hayas hecho, debes pararte detrás de la pantalla". Fue un saludo tan hostil. Al grupo de 4 se les mostró el menú y quedamos tan sorprendidos como nosotros al descubrir que la comida venía de una furgoneta de hamburguesas. Decidieron irse (y no los culpo). Apenas habían salido por la puerta y la camarera decidió empezar a hablar de ellos con sus compañeros de trabajo. "Fueron tan groseros, esa señora fue tan grosera". Mi compañero y yo nos miramos en estado de shock. ¡Qué poco profesional! El cliente no fue grosero en absoluto. Si alguien fue grosero fue la camarera y sus inexistentes habilidades de hospitalidad.La comida estaba bien, aunque era cara para lo que era (9 por una envoltura, 10 por una hamburguesa, sin patatas fritas incluidas). La comida se sirvió en una caja de cartón y no se ofrecieron cubiertos ni servilletas. ¡Al menos esperábamos un plato para comer, especialmente con el precio que habíamos pagado! Seguramente tienen platos y cubiertos disponibles, ¿solían servir cenas asadas antes del cierre? ?Mi hijo todavía estaba comiendo cuando una de las camareras decidió hacer frente a un par de moscas en la ventana con una lata de spray para moscas. Realmente nos golpeó la parte posterior de la garganta y sentí mucha pena por mi hijo. Afortunadamente, ninguno de nosotros es asmático, pero puedo ver cómo eso podría llevar fácilmente a que otros clientes tuvieran dificultad para respirar si tuvieran asma.Justo cuando estábamos a punto de irnos, entraron algunos clientes habituales. No se esterilizaron las manos, ni la mandona camarera les ordenó que lo hicieran. ¿El resto de nosotros fuimos considerados sucios o antihigiénicos porque ella no reconoció nuestras caras?Hemos estado en algunos pubs después del cierre y esta ha sido nuestra peor experiencia hasta ahora. Sí, COVID - 19 nos ha dado momentos difíciles, especialmente en la industria de los pubs. Pero seguramente una bienvenida cálida y cordial es más importante que nunca. Todos entendemos que es importante seguir las pautas de Covid - 19, pero si está ofreciendo un servicio al público, ¡al menos debe intentar que sea una experiencia placentera para ellos!Entonces, si lo que busca es una experiencia amigable en un pub / restaurante rural, NO vaya aquí. La comida, el personal y su actitud te dan todo menos eso.

Mi esposa y yo aprovechamos la oferta de comida el miércoles y quedamos muy satisfechos con nuestra comida. Teníamos champiñones y pollo empanizado para los dos entrantes, seguidos de langostinos para los platos principales. Todo fue excelente con porciones muy generosas, mi esposa no pudo terminar sus gambas, ¡había tanto! Una comida muy buena con un servicio atento. ¡Gracias!

Acabo de estar en The Rose Inn con 2 amigas en busca de una bebida a las 5. 30 pm un viernes. Llegué al bar para que me rechazaran porque no era local. . . Le dije a la camarera que vivía en el pueblo de al lado. Ella dijo 'pero solo hay espacio para la gente común'. Estuve en el pub la semana anterior. También había una mesa libre. Salimos y fuimos al pub Evenhill. El personal era muy agradable.

Hemos estado en este pub en muchas ocasiones ya que es uno de nuestros favoritos.Aunque hoy no estoy muy impresionado.Comprendí que el plan del gobierno de "comer fuera para ayudar" significaba un 10 de descuento en el precio de una comida y refrescos. No es que todavía pague el precio completo por las bebidas y tenga que pagar 10 por una comida de 2 platos por la que dicen que de otro modo cobrarían 20.La comida se servía desde una camioneta exterior que aparentemente se usa generalmente para catering de películas y televisión. No estaba seguro de por qué tuvimos que usar platos de papel y cubiertos de madera de balsa endebles: el pub siempre ha servido comida, seguramente tienen platos, cubiertos y un lavavajillas.Comencé a dudar cuando vi una bandeja de hamburguesas congeladas que se llevaban del pub a la camioneta. Nuestro primer plato de champiñones empanizados era simplemente comida congelada calentada. La hamburguesa estaba bien, no excelente pero comestible. En un rollo muy seco con un poco de lechuga iceberg picada.No era feliz pagando 10 por cabeza por esto, si hubiera pagado 20 creo que habría llorado.Por favor, recupere un chef y vuelva a su estándar alto y variedad de comida habitual

Really enjoyed our experience, with friendly attentive staff and good food. There were good social distancing signs and plenty of measures in place to keep us safe. The staff were very welcoming when we arrived and explained how sitting inside or out worked for either just drinking or drinking and eating. We decided to sit outside in the garden as it was a sunny day and we ordered our food from the fire engine...very novel!. It was a family gathering with adults and children and we found a good choice of food at very reasonable prices. We all enjoyed our lunch very much and the atmosphere in the garden was very jovial. We will definitely visit again! Thank you.

What a beautiful, quaint village pub. We had a wonderful time meeting up with family and eating and drinking in this beautiful setting. The food was beautiful and the we were very well looked after by the staff. The facilities were very clean and we felt that they had made a great effort to keep everyone feeling safe in these strange times. Would highly recommend and cannot want to return.

id past this place so many times and it always looked quaint & had really wanted to visit. we went on a really hot day and sat outside so i never got to actually see what the pub was like. the garden was really busy with families and we made the mistake of sitting at the back under a tree full of wasps. the menu looked really good and was good value due to the eat out scheme. portions were big but the dish i chose ,the pork wasnt that flavoured and the potatoes to spicy for me to eat. one of our party ordered the burger and that looked the nicest. It seemed like lots of locals finishing work go there and has the potential to be rowdy. The man working the van was really friendly as were the servers but for us it wasnt quite the quiet country lunch that we had expected it to be.

We went as a family group of all ages and were made to feel very welcome, naturally we had many different dishes and all agreed that everyone’s meal was delicious, with absolutely no complaints - even from fussy teenagers! The waitress/bar service was great, very attentive without being in the least intrusive. We would recommend the Rose Inn to anybody who wants to eat very well in a comfortable and friendly environment and we will definitely be back as soon as it is possible.

Now I’m not one to usually post negatively on these sites as am a big believer in trying to promote local business, but when the proprietor of said business is just plain rude, I think it needs to be said in order to make people aware of what they are walking into so they think twice about their choice and possibly have the opportunity to spend their hard earned money at somewhere more welcoming and deserving.To cut to the chase, at a time where we are all being publicly asked to be more considerate of one another and more tolerant, the actions of the proprietor when asked if my 7 year old daughter could use the toilet was downright rude and condescending. I don’t expect a door to be slammed in my face for asking such an innocent question, especially when I had advised that I’d be returning at 12 to order food (it was appx 11.40 and admittedly they weren’t welcoming custom at that point), but the village itself isn’t blessed with public conveniences (from what we could see - we aren’t local) so thought given the fact we were returning for food, it wouldn’t be an issue. Also, given that I haven’t yet mastered the art of telepathy, I wouldn’t know that they were tidying up after a private function. However, the tirade in which he delivered this information to me made me feel extremely belittled and also upset my daughter as she didn’t understand why I had been shouted at.Following the epidemic and the unfortunate need to close restaurants and pubs, the recent re-opening has come with a big message to try and support these businesses by eating out more. You’d have thought that the business would be more welcoming, given the age old saying “you only get one chance to make a good first impression”, however this is obviously lost on this person and from reading the comments I can see I’m not the only one to have faced such a tirade.I’ll not be going back. Nor will my family. Nor will my friends. In a world where you can be anything, be kind. This man chooses not to be and is undeserving of your custom.

Popped in as live local, not surprised by how busy they are, the beer and food are so good people keep coming back. I had a takeaway to avoid the day trippers but as always superb quality. Their smoked brisket really is one of the best I’ve ever tried. Well done Rose Inn. Their brownies are also amazing.
