The Six Bells in Ashford

Great place to sit in the sun and drink beer

This is my husband's favourite pub and over the past few years we have come to know Katy and her staff. We booked a table for six people for Sunday Lunch and was looking forward to tasting the new chef's delights. On arrival, we asked Katy if we could have our lunch where we were sitting. Nothing was too much for Katy to accommodate us, which now became a party of eight. Sunday Lunch was absolutely delicious, which included four pork shoulders, two beef and two lamb roasts, there was more than enough on our plates, vegetables, gravy and all the trimmings with nothing left on anyone's plates. We devoured everything. Bravo to the new chef and thank you Katy for always making us feel so welcomed. This is not to forget the bar staff who are all very friendly and hardworking.

Lovely meal and excellent service tonight

Service was excellent, Food was excellent, we all (12 "adults"), had roast dinners which we booked in advance. I had lamb and it was fantastic. I believe that a good time was had by all for Mum and Nick's birthdays. Thanks 6 Bells 👍

So nice to find a proper pub full of people enjoying each others company with excellent food well cooked and presented, a rare find. Also very gluten free friendly.

We visited Woodchurch as a group of friends to celebrate my husband's birthday and knew we wanted to start with lunch in the local pub. The Six Bells was recommended by the owner of the holiday cottage. The landlady and waitress were very friendly and welcoming. There was a good choice of food and drinks on the menu and everyone enjoyed their meals. We revisited the pub for their quiz night and the waitress remembered that our friend couldn't have gluten and suggested some options for him. The pub quiz was great fun and well supported. We actually managed to win first prize!

A beautiful old pub with a lovely warm welcome. To see a pub open at 12 on a Tuesday and have a regular crowd attend is a joy to see. Even though we weren't locals, the staff were extremely welcoming, and the food served was delicious. The pub itself had loads of original features and a gorgeous open fireplace that was warming on a winters afternoon. Will definitely pop in again if passing.

We live in the village and my Wife & I just love this place. We can't praise Katy and all of the staff enough. Went to the Thursday Steak Night last night, it really was the Best. Steaks cooked exactly as requested. Lovely Bottle of wine included in price of the meal, very reasonable price for such Great quality food. Had food here 3 times in the last couple of weeks, never disappointed. Your Chefs are superb, thank them for us. Keep hold of them as long as you can. All the staff are pleasant and welcoming, thanks to them as well, also a wonderful homely atmosphere. We are so lucky to have a place like this in our village. Keep the great work up Katy and all of the staff. Many thanks from Lyn & Geoff Nutting

Cozy little pub in a cozy little village.. always friendly staff and good chatty folk in there

Great little pub,near the lovely green in the heart of Woodchurch,nice food washed down with a great pint of Harveys, service was excellent.

Had our first Sunday lunch here yesterday, a group of nine. Everybody enjoyed the starters and main course. Pub was busy and the service and beer was very good. Will definitely come again.

Service with a smile, we both had liver & bacon with mash and broccoli which was very nice. Driving so only had a coke.

Really friendly staff proper old English pub worth a visit 😀

First time we've been to the six bells and we've already made plans to go back again. Lovely little pub

Nettes Pub. Leckeres Essen, gute Portionen, preiswert.

Was very quiet but was a Friday lunch it had a very heavy bleach smell in the eating area that put us off our food most overpowering service good

Lovely friendly village pub. We had a great Sunday roast which was very reasonably priced. We sat in the conservatory and were served by two charming and very polite young ladies. We will definitely visit here again.

One of our two local pubs in Woodchurch. Food, Beer and Wine, they have a Great Selection. The staff are very welcoming and attentive, the atmosphere is really great, a real old fashioned English Pub which has a lot going on throughout the year. Beer Festivals, Live Bands, Morris Dancers, Quizes, Hog Roasts and of course their superb Sunday Roast. Very reasonable prices as well. Congratulations to Katy and all the staff who make this a Great Place to visit.

Lovely pub, lovely food, lovely people, lovely booze. Lovely location too.

Pub has nice atmosphere and good food and drink. Serves freshly cooked food and has many specials .

Great pub , great atmosphere , great staff

Een leuke pub met aardig personeel en leuke mensen. Op een leuke plek met een zonnig terras. Gelegen in een klein dorpje, heerlijke bieren van de tap.

A traditional country pub with a good srlection of Ales and Pub Grub at reasonable prices. Good outside space for those days that the sun shines.... One star lost because, on the last day we visited, all the Ales were 4% plus - whatever happened to "session" Ales?

Good local pub . Good selection of beers

Lovely village pub with recent extension and relaid garden, the whole place had a friendly and welcoming feel. Publican went out of his way to be helpful and the meal was delicious. I had the fish pie and hubby had liver and bacon. First class in every respect

the facilities where the cleanest i have seen before and i was very happy to use them and i would recommend this place to any one.

Just had a Sunday Roast. There was a group of five of us. Choice of four meats and a nut roast , plus all the usual things that go to make up a fab roast dinner. This isn’t the first time we’ve had our Sunday roast here as we’re local and It’s always outstanding. We’ve eaten elsewhere in the area but this is the best by a long mile. Not only is the food good but the staff are lovely, plus I have it on good authority that it’s the best pint in the area as well. If you’ve never been to this beautiful country pub give it a go. You won’t be disappointed .

This is a lovely pub. Homely, warm welcome, good selection of beers and a nice menu. The staff were very good as was the food and beer. The food was very good value for money.

Friendly, warm, welcoming. A good pub food menu, plenty of choice, great service and fabulous toilets, we had a really nice experience and would definitely recommend.

Had a lovely evening here. Amazing atmosphere and lovely staff. The hunters chicken was an absolute treat ! Definitely recommend to everyone.

Came here for a family dinner and the food was delicious! Particularly the homemade pie of the day. Service was attentive and polite. I would highly recommend!

Good food, traditional village pub

Lovely food..staff very nice..toilets very clean..altogether...great

We were a group of eight booked in for Sunday Roast. What can I say the best roast Iv had out for a long time, I’m a real critic but I couldn’t find fault with any of it, it was warm friendly and the food was fab, definitely recommend this lovely pub.

Came here for a family meal out on Sunday. We all had the roasts and they were all really lovely. Highly recommend. Staff were great and very accommodating for children.

Very welcoming Good beer Good food Lovely pub

Great pub with good ales and banter worth a visit

Lovely food although the sea bass fillet was the smallest I’ve seen /served. Great quality but that was just a little disappointing

Fine ales, nice atmosphere, friendly staff and very obliging.

Great pud Great food with large garden and entertainment.

Very nice friendly staff best stake I've had for years good prices

Went to the 6 bell's at the end of their beer an cider festival, was ok... lots of locals. Will have to return to give a better review at some point.

Stopped here for lunch today. Friendly polite staff. Food was brilliant I had succulent tender rump steak. Only downside I found was inside of pub seemed to dark. But it was sunny and warm outside so there I was

Great pub and friendly landlady

Visited and sat outside for food and drinks. We had the hunters chicken, lovely flavour and nicely presented. Plus a chicken Cesar salad again which was nice on a hot day. London pride which pleased my dad so that brought a smile to his face. Staff are so friendly and can not do enough for you. So nice to have good food not over priced and a warm welcome

Stumbled across this lovley pub, had the steak was cooked just how I asked. Had a really lovely experience. Would recommend if your in the area.

Lovely traditional family friendly village pub in the heart of a natural community village where village life is alive and well! BRILL!!

I strongly recommend this pub if you are passing or staying in Woodchurch Kent My partner had her 65 birthday lunch here and the staff were amazing. A gift was left on the table for my partner and the service was Excellent. Nothing was to much trouble for the staff whose level of service was amazing. Lovely old Ale house.

Lovely food, staff polite, pub very clean would recommend it to my friends.

Beautiful inside and out. Large beer garden, in a tranquil setting.

Had an impromptu lunch here with my son today. Enjoyed the beautiful weather in the lovely garden here. Staff were lovely, food was great too. Will definitely be returning and recommending to others.

Jack is the main man behind the bar, friendly and welcoming. Can't wait to go again when the new chef starts 7th June. Great outdoor space.

Foid really not good and limited menu, would not return, I had mac and cheese which tasted like an awful dried packet mix...

Really disappointed, service was awkward, no signs/explanation for no dinner service, not very welcoming at all.

Excellent pint of bitter, with excellent service from two helpful young people.

Greeted with a smile, ordered food and came quickly. Lovely coronation chicken baguette and house chips with Onion Rings for lunch.

Lovely afternoon, lovely stuff good family pub.

Food was yummy, staff were friendly, dog was welcome. Really nice place

Love this pub. 2 pubs standing next to each other and I rate this the best. Traditional and menu is excellent and home cooked . service is outstanding and people are friendly. It has become our local again .

Wow, food is lovely, the village pub vibe is back, and the beer 🍻 well, I'll have another. So lucky to have an abandoned by the Pub Co's find a new lease of life in a village that always deserves the best. Worth a visit any time, rain or shine. Good parking for cyclists drivers and riders. Also the occasional steam traction engine. I think walkers and hikers are also more than welcome. Pet friendly.

Had a great Sunday roast. Beef was amazing. Excellent service. Really nice atmosphere. Will be going again...very soon

We had an amazing celebratory evening. Everyone at The Bells did their best to make it special. It was just lovely. The food was terrific but portions a tad on the huge side. Thanks guys.

Lovely local pub (with parking). Friendly service. We tried the homemade pies and were not disappointed.

Great pub, friendly staff, good vegetable lasagne.

A proper pub, a good pint of Timothy Taylor's Landlord and a nice atmosphere

Lovely pub and very friendly staff

No chef at present. Beer bit expensive. .But like atmosphere.

Great to be back!! Still the best pub in Woodchurch

Really glad the pub Is open again. Lovely atmosphere.

Had a delicious meal here this week, varied menu to suit all tastes. Helpful efficient staff who made us very welcome. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be returning.

Great to see it back open & looking good. Friendly staff, beers & wine good, food looked good so will eat there when warmer. Well done👌 & good luck🍀

Great service good to have the bells back

Reopened only visited once a warm welcome outside as due to COVID rules only allowed in for toilets. It has been sympathetically refurbished and is very good. All in all we think it will be great again.

I looks like things are happening at last at the Six Bells. Work taking place but not re-opened yet. I have lost count of the landlords and landladies for the Bells since our esteemed couple have left. So take no notice of any reviews over the past couple of years. There has been a succession of people without a clue running the place. Hopefully this time will be lucky. The rating I have given is hopeful.

I came here back in 2018 for lunch with my friend with our daughters who where 1 at the time. Was a fantastic pub, the food was amazing! Service was great!I forgot about this little gem until this week and thought I’d drive down and go for lunch, it didn’t look open and had a for sale sign slumped against the side near the door! I was gutted, but we ended up going next door which didn’t disappoint. I’d love to know if you are open or are opening again in the future.

Used to be mine and my wife's local when we lived in Eastry. Very friendly pub, from when we first visited, before we'd even seen the property we moved in to when we visit for quiz nights with old friends. Always good chats with locals, food is very reasonably priced and always tasty. My wife tried and succeeded in getting dessert there after we had done dinner at home. A great local and also a recommend stopping point if you're passing by!

DO NOT COME HERE!! I came here for the first time for a catch up with my friends tonight and felt very unwelcome from the moment we stepped in. No one behind the bar said hello as we walked in but instead muttered to each other clearly about us! My friend who is 21 then asked for a drink and was ID’d which I understand because of the think 25 policy but when the barmaid didn’t believe her after the 3rd time of looking at it she then passed her ID around the bar to the other local drinkers which I thought was very rude and disrespectful as she already looks older than her age! After serving her, the barmaid walked away and began serving another customer before finishing all of us! After finally serving all of us, we sat down to do our shots and realised that the lime was mouldy- disgusting!! Lol Soz for the rant but after this, the bar maid then said she was on ‘high alert’ which was clearly about us she said it to her locals as she walked past us!!! Needless to say the Bonny cravat is much better and I won’t be coming here again lol, rude staff and bad vibes in here

Lovely pub but food a pricey enjoyed despite this

Great friendly local - does a great Sunday roast.

Just had a nice evening with friends and family at the six bells Woodchurch good service, great food and drink. I had the homemade steak and ale pie with creamy mash and mixed vegetables,with gravy, bread and butter pudding with fresh made custard.well worth a visit.

We had a lovely evening with delicious food in a very pleasant setting. Good ale and a friendly landlord. Oldie Worldy pub with a warm firer, very welcoming. Reasonably priced and the chief seemed a nice lad.

What a great public house,great food with nice young friendly staff

Lovely meal all fresh and hot, good specials menu and good variety. Friendly atmosphere and good surroundings. Lovely venue for small or large groups

Called in for lunch, and an excellent lunch it was. Ihe Six Bells is a lovely, old-fashioned, country pub with very friendly staff. There was a good choice on the menu (with a separate vegetarian menu) and also on the "specials" board. My wife is Gluten Free. I mentioned this when placing our order and when her meal turned up it was with Gluten Free gravy; a very nice touch indeed. There is a nice garden area. Prices were reasonable. I would recommend this pub to anyone in the area looking for a good meal.

First thing you notice as you approach the pub, is it’s country charm and lit so wonderfully along the road, kind of looks magical. 70th Birthday for us at The Six Bells on Saturday 31st August and we were extremely pleased. Beautiful rustic proper country pub cuisine with beams above your head and farmhouse tables around your legs!Everything your heart desires, so well presented with attention to detail , well cooked with thought and passion.. think they have found themselves one special chef in Richard...couldn’t recommend it enough , thank you for a lovely evening, Ade and his team.

Very friendly staff and lovely food and beer.

6 cycling friends stopped for quick pint. 3 ales on tap - Harvey's best was very good. Nice friendly welcome from staff and locals.

Very friendly and relaxing atmosphere, food, wine and beer was great.

Booked in advance and it’s fathers day, very accommodating as a couple of dietary requests in our group, made to feel welcome and nothing was too much trouble,lovely hot food 🥘

Been in both pubs next door to each other for food and drinks. Let’s just say if you’re outside and facing both pubs, go in the Bonny Cravat where you get better food and service.

We sat out in the garden and had a lovely meal. Dog friendly and a good selection of meals. Would eat here again. Food hot, tasty and well made, with a good variety of traditional pub grub on offer.

Great food lovely atmosphere good prices staff are really friendly and attentive

Lovely meal and hosts! Thanks for a great evening!

Very friendly atmosphere for a drink.

We called in for a drink on Mother’s Day after walking the dogs, as my daughter lives in the village. OH went to the bar and came out with pints of Harvey’s for the men, a G&T; for my daughter, a bottled soft drink for me and coke and lemonade for my teenage grandchildren. The glasses for these soft drinks were tiny and filled with ice, so they held very little liquid. This was atrocious as it was only the squirty generic stuff rather than the real thing. Surely half a pint of liquid is not too much to ask for considering the prices charged? Will certainly expect better next time I visit.

Having just moved into the village we decided to try this pub for dinner last night having checked out their menu online. Unfortunately the greeting/welcome or rather lack of one was so poor from the barmaid we decided not to bother. Come on guys, you are in the service industry, the place was virtually empty and a smile cost absolutely nothing.

We went for a meal, and we spent more than a hour to get our food, staff didn't apologise even didn't advise the food is going to take longer than expected, we asked for a cup of tea because we got cold in the time and staff didn't offer. Once we got our meal, it was a poor bad quality, Gammon was quite salty and greasy, eggs seemed plastic, a burger was over cooked with black colour, even the puddings came late and cold when they should be hot. We don't think to return back and we don't recommend to anyone to have a meal in this place.

The pies are not home made they buy them in actual most of the food is bought in the landlady is rude and goes by the saying I am never wrong but if I am I will blame someone else

We walked into the pub for some food looking around we saw tables where a mess and one of the bar staff had her dog on the bar top running about then I asked to look in the kitchen that’s when the lady introduced herself as the landlady and there was no way I was going to be able to look in the kitchen but knowing that anyone can at any time I just walked in to the kitchen and here are some pics of what I saw the chef he said he was told by the landlady that he was paid to much to clean and leave it for the Kp

This place is advertising as having a 5 star food hygiene rating, but they actually only have one. Be careful eating there.
