The Walnut Tree Inn in Maidstone

We had a family celebration of 8 adults and 1 child and chose from a very varied menu. Most had a Roast Dinner and someone had a pie. All our meals were delicious - good produce which was perfectly cooked & well presented. Puddings were also generous and top notch. The children's choice was good quality food too which was appreciated. The staff couldn't have been more helpful, organised and attentive but not intrusive. We had such a lovely, relaxed time. Thank you to Paul, Jo and all the staff.

10 out of 10 for service, food and atmosphere.. had dinner this week with family a delicious meal was experienced by all on Wednesday.. booked for Sunday lunch … very busy but again good and service A1!! Congratulations to the staff and chef for delivering a great meal and customer service xxx

Visited the walnut tree east Farleigh on Sunday the 28th for lunch a group of 13 family members the food was excellent including a meal prepared especially for my wife, The service was first class Thank you to Paul, Jo and there staff We shall return Dave Smith

We had a table of 10 with some very elderly relatives, & a adult with severe autism. We were looked after brilliantly by the staff. Very attentive. The pensioners of the group do like to pick holes in the menu, & ask lots of questions. They were very patient with this. All our food arrived together which was really good. Portion sizes are very big. Our meals were very much enjoyed by all & delicious. We had starters, mains & puddings. We had a mixture of mains too. Not everyone had 'roast'. One of our ice creams was forgotten, & a tea that was ordered had the milk already in it, IN the Teapot (which was a bit strange). But both these things were rectified immediately. We really did love the experience & the food was delicious! Would definitely go back again.

Really poor, went for Sunday lunch on my Birthday, 40 minutes after ordering 2 of our party were told there was no Roast Beef left, so they had to change it to lamb. After another 5 minutes or so we had to ask for our starters, these still took a further 10 minutes to arrive. In the end after an hour and a half after arriving our mains had still not arrived, we asked to cancel the mains paid for our drinks and starters and left hungry

The Meal we ate there last night was absolutely Beautiful! All 3 Courses were just Perfect! Really enjoyed it! The only 2 Criticisms I have is I find Pubs with People seated at the Bar very dated & gives off a feeling of intrusion when you arrive & also the disjointed layout of the Restaurant seating didn't work for me! I wasn't happy where I was seated! But I would recommend the Food definitely!

As I am disabled we were offered a spacious table close to the fire by very friendly and helpful staff. We only wanted a light lunch & chose small portion of tagliatelle, prawns & smoked salmon with waffles to follow. Excellent food prompt service. Really good and highly recommended. Thanks!

Small friendly village pub. We had great food tonight…fish and chips & steak & ale pudding with chips. Our food was piping hot - great portions & tasted lovely. The bar staff are really friendly and attentive. As it is a small traditional pub probably better to book a table in advance. The bar area is busy with plenty of atmosphere. Dog friendly too!!

Last went here over a decade ago and not very good. Heard the pub is now a great place to go. Just tried lunch there with my wife. Good thing we booked a slot, as busy. All I can say is great food, friendly staff, and a menu with good choices. Ticks all the boxes, including parking and beer garden. Will be back very soon.

This was just a spur of a moment decision. We had been here some time ago and found this pub very welcoming then. To be honest nothing had changed, apart from the fact that was not as crowded as last time which worried us a bid. Of course we were proved wrong! The service was excellent, the food was delicious and reasonably priced with an unusual but nevertheless inspiring choice suiting any taste. This semi-rural pub which has been here for more than 200 years is very much geared to the local community which makes a visit rather special.

Lovely food. Staff friendly and helpful finding out about allergens as I need a gluten free meal. Good choice of gluten free dishes.

Disappointing Sunday lunch. Meat was from a catering pack and not carved off the joint (thin, fatty and tasteless). Gravy was watery and thin. Veg and potatoes were ok. Deserts also microwaved sticky toffee pudding rather than home made but tasted ok. Service was good and people friendly but I’m used to better quality food.

Lovely food for 9 people, staff were excellent and we were all looked afer, the food was spot on, as it was a Sunday most had roast

Absolutely wonderful service, Superb food. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. There were 15 of us and everything went so smoothly. Thankyou so much for making it such a lovely meal.

The service was excellent staff very friendly and the food was well worth the the visit.the drink selection was also very good.

Had a really lovely lunch today (knocking spots off those in the near vicinity) great value, great food and awesome service, unfortunately I didn’t catch the young man’s name but he was a real credit to the Walnut Tree and his family, we received attentive service with a smile. Date of visit 16 March 2023 1 pm.

Good country pub near Maidstone. Easy parking. Friendly and helpful staff. A reasonable menu with a fair selection of food, including a small specials board. Good to see that smaller portions are offered at a reduced price for those with smaller appetites. Service is leisurely, and was no particular problem for us, but if you were in more of a hurry (a business lunch or similar) it might not be the best place for you (perhaps speedier service would have been available if you asked). The main drawback was that drinks (alcoholic, non alcoholic and hot drinks) were all on the expensive side.

Dined here as a family of 12 yesterday. With a large group you always worry that food, service or seating will be compromised but we had a brilliant experience. We were seated in the very warm and festive marquee, all the dishes we ordered were beautifully presented and delicious and the attentive and friendly service was second to none. Reasonable prices too. Thanks for a great afternoon!

Very friendly, great food and portions to suit your appetite. Good to see a pub being a pub, no gimmicks and in the better weather personal service in the garden

We should have been going here today but unfortunately due to covid we had to cancel early yesterday morning. We asked if our £60 deposit could be transferred to January but was told no as they had already prepared some of the food! Not very good customer relations and will not be using this pub again!

What an enjoyable family festive meal we’ve just had at the Walnut Tree. The Christmas meal was delicious, and all nine of us enjoyed the food and atmosphere of the Olde English Inn. And the service was excellent with friendly staff. I’d highly recommend this lovely Inn.

Absolutely amazing food in a small rural pub with a lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. Quick service, good portion sizes.

Have not been here before so. A pleasant surprise. Food was delicious especially the mushrooms with a Stilton sauce. Nice warm atmosphere and roomy table for 4 of us. Service was good and was also nice to see a young person who genuinely seemed to...

Just had a lovely meal in their newly decorated restaurant, and new seating since we last came. Our waitress was brilliant, Abby - excellent credit to the pub, very well done 👏👏.

My daughter had her 50th here 95 people had a great time garden was beautiful nothing to much trouble

Well what a lovely pub. Atmosphere, food,staff all first class. Went there for an early dinner and didn’t want to leave . Will definitely be going back

we didnt realise the pub closed at 9pm so with a very limited menu available-food was OK but nothing special-service was poor and prices to be expected c£20ph Would not recommend

A total disappointment of a meal for the six of us. They couldn’t have cared less about our custom. The waiter was sloppy and disinterested. The food was not to be wished on my worst enemy. All of us felt totally underwhelmed by the whole...

After a long walk with my partner we stopped in here for lunch on a Friday. Expecting an average pub with a typical pub food menu I was very pleased to see well thought out meals that were a cut above the average. The place...

We popped in for lunch on a sunny Saturday, starting with a mixed platter, mains and sweets, plus drinks. Friendly staff, relaxing atmosphere and delicious food, which is exactly what you require. It's just on the outskirts of Maidstone but deep in the beautiful Kent...

Excellent meal in a wood beamed country pub. Very good quality food. The pub has a good sized car-park and an open fire in the main bar. Theres a well kept garden with outdoor seating.

I visited the Walnut tree with a friend for lunch and we sat in the beautiful garden and I ordered and enjoyed the best chicken and bacon salad I have ever tasted..the presentation and attention to detail in the salad with hebs and not swimming...

Having eaten and drunk in this pud over the last couple of years can only praise the hard work and effect they have put in making us feel welcome. The food is great with a good atmosphere and can not recommended them enough.

First visit for a family meal and won’t be the last. The quality of the food and the love and talent putt into preparing it paid off and the owners and great staff made a point of having a chat and making you feel welcome....

This cosy, welcoming pub is hosted by a great team which goes above and beyond to ensure customers have an enjoyable visit. The Walnut Tree’s varied food menu caters for all diets (and sizes of appetites), and the food itself is tasty and great value....

Absolutely delicious Sunday Lunch. The staff were friendly and catered for our table of ten with ease giving us a space of our own so that kids could be kids without bothering others. Also very clean! We would thoroughly recommend.

This pub provides good quality food, at reasonable prices. Drinks are over priced. The only issue that we would have is that the service was rather slow, and whilst we were not in a particular hurry, if you were looking for a prompter meal, such...

Just visited the Walnut Tree East Farleigh for lunch. Excellent varied menu, lots of choice for everyone. The staff were very friendly and service was prompt and always with a smile. Would highly recommend and will certainly be returning.

This pub never disappoints. Another delicious meal in this charming and countryside pub. Service is very friendly and polite. They recommended the fish platter which we shared and it was delicious. My meal was gorgeous too and the salted caramel and chocolate was divine too....

Live locally and have eaten here a few times in the past and have always had a lovely meal and received good service. Would thoroughly recommend.

Warm welcome; great pub food, well cooked and went out of their way to accommodate/adapt for my wife`s gluten free (coeliac) diet. We`ll be back. Certainly recommend the Walnut Tree to friends.

We live local to this pub and have driven past many times. We thought we would give it a go as there was good reviews on trip advisor. To be perfectly honest I don’t think any of us thought it was going to be that...

I can’t thank Jo enough for her excellent customer service in accommodating our family of 11 outside in very unpredictable weather. The venue is lovely and staff very pleasant and service was first class. We all enjoyed our Sunday lunch together which we haven’t been...

Brilliant Sunday roast this afternoon. Will be back again soon. Food was lovely, staff where lovely and friendly.

Delicious food. HUGE portions. Very welcoming. Made a fuss of my little old doggie Poppy, who was brought a water bowl and doggie treat (which she ate eventually). Lots of choice on the menu, and then a specials board to boot. Burgers were delish &...

Dinner with an old friend who I hadn't seen for 2 years. Made to feel so welcome. No pressure to order when we kept chatting too much! Excellent help with the menu as I am gluten free. Many options to choose from. Fantastic gin. Friendly...

I took my wife to the Walnut tree for our 10th anniversary fantastic food and landlady and landlord were excellent hosts they made us feel welcome in the moment we walked in the pub five stars wouldn’t hesitate to go back.👏👏👏

What a lovely English country pub this is. We picked a wet and windy day to go to The Walnut Tree with friends and feared suffering from the elements to observe Social Distancing Regulations. But the marvellous owners and staff had it sorted. We were...

Lovely staff and amazing fresh cook food .Go there often and never had a bad meal, staff very helpful to your requests

I’ve been several times to the Walnut Tree. I can’t speak highly enough of it. From the moment you walk in, you are made to feel extremely welcome. All the staff take the time to chat to you (not too much) The pub itself is...

What a wonderful quaint village pub. The renovations superb, warm and welcoming. Have visited a couple of times now with friends and then partner. The staff are very accommodating and attentive. Foods superb and great value. Nice amount of choices.. fresh and yummy ingredients. We...

I absolutely love the walnut tree since the renovation, the staff are so welcoming and couldn't do more to make you're visit perfect. Large carpark, and a beautiful large garden. The food has always been well presented and very tasty, well worth a visit!

Due to time constraints this report is slightly late as we came here some 4 weeks ago. As far as atmosphere and service is concerned, this pub/restaurant cannot be bettered. Everyone is friendly and most welcoming and we really enjoyed our stay. Under normal circumstances I would have given full marks but unfortunately the food was somewhat lacking the finesse experienced earlier. Perhaps due to the pressures created by the Corona virus or perhaps a change in the kitchen the food - though ample - was quite bland to be honest. The steak appeared more heated than fried without any spices and my wife's fish was rather the same. That said, we really enjoyed ourselves and we shall definitely be back- just some more spice will do well...

We used the Walnut Tree in the past when we lived in East Farleigh but that was some years ago. On this recent visit we found a very different and recently renovated pub, both inside and outside. We ate in the garden with friends to take advantage of the government’s £10 August discount, and we were in for a real treat.The large garden, alongside the even larger car park, was beautifully kept and had a new raised arbour, though we were sat under the walnut tree that gave the pub its name.I had the sirloin steak with chips, onion rings, mushrooms, tomatoes, peas and salad with my wife having the lighter crab and mango salad. Both were cooked and presented to perfection. For dessert we had the sticky toffee pudding and jam sponge respectively, each wholesome and delicious. Service was enthusiastic, timely and considerate, the perfect complement to the lovely food. I took a look inside the pub and found it tastefully updated without ever threatening its rural quaintness. I gather the pub is funding a 25% food discount in September though saving money need not be the motivation to visit this excellent eatery, we will make regular visits regardless of the price.

As a family, our first meal out after locking 2020, and another month of family isolation due to a knee replacement operation that I had... we were welcomed very warmly (as always), experienced excellent service (as always), and thoroughly enjoyed all three courses of our early dinner.Thank you!

Amazing food and service as always. Spent Sunday afternoon in the garden with friends and family and all felt so welcome, perfect afternoon. Look forward to coming back soon. Thank you to all at the Walnut Tree.

We have had the absolute pleasure of being regulars at this gorgeous and endearing pub for the past year or so.The welcome you receive is second to none and not one thing is ever too much trouble for Paul and Jo and their wonderful staff.The quality of the food and service has been faultless and I would have absolutely no hesitation at all in recommending The Walnut Tree.

We have visited here many times and it’s always been ok.Although the pub and garden are lovely, the food is poor.‘Homemade’ quiche, killed in the microwave. Steak unseasoned and flavourless. Onion rings cheap and tasted like the were cooked in old/dirty oil. It’s such a shame as the menu is varied but poorly executed. Get a chef, cook to order and don’t turn out cheap freezer food. Slice some onions, make your own batter. Make chips from potatoes....it would make a world of difference, harsh but true.Disappointingly won’t return.

Just visited the walnut tree for the first time tonight - from the minute I called to book our table and Gemma greeted me warmly, we then went on to have fabulous customer service all evening - I think every single member of staff took the time to speak to us! Even after a busy Monday on the eat out to help out scheme... lovely varied menu (not just chips) and the food was delicious and homemade, we’ll definitely be back for more under the pretty lights in the garden - would recommend here to everyone! I would vehemently dispute the bitter reviews left below... if customers cannot understand the new covid regulations and the need for reservations then the pub should not be made to pay the price in poor reviews - this is the friendliest pub we’ve been to in a long time - personal service and conversation a strong point, one waitress even came to say goodbye at the end of her shift! I would feel confident in recommending here for a lovely night out for delicious food and great atmosphere!

Booked in at the Walnut tree after hearing great reviews from a friend, turned up to a warm greeting from friendly stuff who were welcoming and helpful throughout, thought I would try the fish and chips after a recommendation from a friend and it did not disappoint!!! The fish was the size of my forearm and tasted lovely! After dinner we decided to sit in the garden with out drinks, the garden itself is amazing, I wish I had the number of their gardener!! Overall, very pleased and will be returning!!!!

Today my walking group and myself wound our way through the idyllic country roads of Maidstone and found ourselves at The Walnut Tree. The pub was open. There was nobody sitting inside. The garden area had one couple sitting all alone. When my over 50s friends and I walked in and told the person behind the bar we had walked long and far go get there and were really looking forward to a drink, we were told unless we had booked we could not come in.Even after explaining that one of our party had a leg injury and we needed to rest for a short while, we were not permitted to come in. We were told the tables inside and out were all reserved for evening meals. This was at 5pm! We asked whether we could come in and have a drink whilst we waited for a taxi to come and collect us.....No! We were given a jug of water to drink whilst we stood outside and waited for a taxi.Their sign states they are a friendly pub....in our view they are the most unfriendly pub in Maidstone.Shocking!!!!Good luck to all who go there.Never again for us.

I attended this pub last week for lunch with some friends and a couple of our children. We decided to make the most of the beautiful weather and elected to sit in the lovely garden. The staff were attentive and efficient. Our food was lovely although the talking point of the table was the wonderful (whale sized) fish and chips my son and I had delivered to our table.We all enjoyed the food so much we had to try the desserts which didn’t disappoint.

We arrived at the venue ,having plotted a walk from our previous venue ,having checked that the pub was open .Arrived at 17.15 hours (party of 6 ) our intention was to have 1 or 2 drinks and then leave ,however we were told that as we hadn’t booked ,we couldn’t be accommodated ,we explained that we would only look to stay for 30 mins max.We were told that wasn’t possible as all the tables were booked out Here is the problem the pub inside and out was empty !!!!!!Despite our plea to be allowed 1 drink was refused.My opinion is that their view was very intransigent and therefore they have turned us away .My view is that their attitude was not acceptable and they have turned away a potential £50 input of cash .So as a summary myself and my friends will NOT be visiting this venue anytime soon

Whilst one accepts the restriction caused by covid when 6 people are walking in the kent country side all over 50 to be turned away from an empty pub on the basis that we had not booked. We were happy to sit in garden that apart from 2 people was completely empty we explained we were waiting for a cab and only wanted 1 drink. The economy is desperate for money why were we turned away. Are they only interested in government money. God help tax payers.A very un-friendly experience that that brings into question the business ethics of the owners

Just had a really scrummy family meal at the Walnut Tree at East Farleigh. A lovely cool table avoiding the worst of the current heatwave and such good variety of delicious meals for us all. Nice big portions and terrific value for money, even more so with eat out to help out. It’s a lovely old inn, with really friendly staff providing a splendid service - which wasn’t detracted by the necessary current socially distancing to make us all feel safe. An idyllic traditional English country pub for all seasons run by efficient and friendly owners and staff. A good place to show off Kent to visitors.

We are locals and love this pub if sitting indoors however, the fan from the kitchen spoils the lovely garden. Please find a way of silencing it:)

We came here on Saturday, pre booked for lunch. Everything has been laid out really well, and the menu is excellent. I had a BBQ chicken sizzler which had an excellent portion size - and was simply delicious! Would highly recommend.

What a superb pub! Took the family, two young children and the dog and have never felt more welcome. Perfectly setup for Covid and everything was so well organised. Food was amazing and great sized portions all round. Have been back 2 or 3 times this month alone and can see this being my new local! Staff were so helpful and great range of food and beers!

Lovely pub..why dont you skin your fish??? A let down ..grandsons birthday treat spent the whole time trying to scrape of the black skin..for the price that's being changed what a waste..given salad with it when asked for just fish and chips nothing else as he is unable to combine his food

Covid rules second to none well done. but don’t go here if you have small children they really aren’t welcoming! the children’s food wasn’t suitable over priced and over cooked. This was the second time visited and thought the first time maybe they were having an off day but no seems they don’t appreciate children. Such a shame as it could be a lovely meal out if we felt welcomed.

This was our first time visiting the Walnut tree and our first time out as a family since lockdown. I honestly couldn’t have been happier with the whole experience. We called on the day and was luck enough to get a table in the garden for my husband, myself and our three young boys , we was pleasantly greeted by our waitress Georgie and should couldn’t have been ANY BETTER!! all social guidancing was met , hand sanitiser everywhere , all signs and stickers which made it easy to follow and table service the whole time. We didn’t need for anything that Georgie didn’t sort for us , she wore a mask the whole visit and was brilliant with my children they loved her and she was so friendly! The roast was AMAZING! Proper home cooked meal which was also affordable and very generous portions!!! We will defiantly be back very soon!! Thank you to all the staff and the new owners (former manager) that have recently taken over!

I’ve lived in Farleigh for 35 years and have seen landlords and managers come and go at all the local pubs, especially the Walnut Tree. I have to say though that the present landlord and staff are second to none! The staff are great, the beer is superb and the food is gorgeous without being expensive! There is a very comfortable and attractive ambiance within this pub with friendly regulars and given all of its merits, I’ve made it my local!

Never having eaten here, (only had a drink), I didn’t know what to expect. However, our party of 9 were looked after really well and the food certainly didn’t disappoint. The portions were very generous and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals. We had my two young grand children with us and had a table in a separate area from the main pub, which was nice and relaxing. Although well behaved, children can be noisy sometimes and I don’t like disturbing other people, so it was ideal.Will definitely return.

Upon arrival welcome by friendly staff, shown to our table. Choice of dishes very good. Nice size portions, puddings were good to, first time of visit will go back again. Very clean throughout.

This is the second time I’ve visited this pub.Food is great , atmosphere is warm and welcoming.This is the sort of pub you go to for lunch and feel so welcomed and comfortable that you consider staying till closing time.Would highly recommend .

Came for a meal with friends, the second time we’ve been and won’t be the last. From the moment I walked in i was made to feel welcome, and the whole place feels homely and friendly. The food is just amazing, generous portions, a great menu. I had the pie of the day which was chicken and bacon, this was a generously filled homemade pie delicious. For dessert I had a lovely lemon and coconut cheesecake which was so yummy I wish I had room for more! Everyone else enjoyed their meals, and were easily able to substitute chips for salad or rice with no problem. The decor is lovely too, really fresh and modern. All in all a lovely place to eat, will definitely be back (not least for the great selection of gins!)

Ten of us went on our monthly lunch club. Lovely staff, very welcoming. Varied menu, suiting all tastes. Desserts were again, good selections for all.

We decided to change venue for our annual New Years meal from their other pub the George in Leeds village as this was nearer to us. Unfortunately some of the serving staff need alittle more customer training in how to speak to guests. When meals were being brought out to us we were 'barked' at...'burger!...'chilli'! ...a friendly 'who ordered the burger 'would have been much nicer to hear.Hope things improve and we will make another trip.

This pub has a great atmosphere with very friendly service. Great beer and wines. My pals and I book every crimbo for dinners and always have a great time which was repeated this year

Very nice pub more a restaurant food ok. staff nice went on a sunday lunchtime 12 of us ran out of meat very poor as only 2.30pm but of a disappointment will not eat there again

Arrived at the walnut tree unexpectedly, but what a lucky break. Friendly staff, good food including vegetarian options, log fire, beautiful period interior. Definately one to visit again.

Recommended by a friend. Had Sunday lunch and the meat was very tender (turkey). Thank goodness we didn’t have a starter as the main was very generous.

A friend suggested here for lunch and what a delight it is. Lots of parking.

Second time I have met friends for a bite to eat since it changed hands. Very enjoyable, lovely atmosphere, good food and helpful staff. I would recommend and will be going back again.

I have been to the Walnut Tree numerous times since if has been re-developed/refitted. The owners and staff are doing everything right!

Went there with family for evening meal, service very friendly and good. Plenty of chose on meal cooked beautiful and presented well would definately go again

Nice village pub serving good food. A pleasant pub recently decorated keeping the charm of the old. Lovely gardens and dog friendly. The staff are very helpful and pleasant.

Visiting this part of the country is always a treat and we have sampled the menu in several local pubs but today this visit excelled all the rest in this area.

Living locally we find ourselves in here a lot! Since the refurb its has the most welcoming feel, with great, friendly staff. Food is perfect "pub grub" with some delicious specials. Garden has been finished now and its pretty and spacious. Highly recommend!

The wife and I made our first visit to the recently refurbished pub on Monday evening. As we know the landlord of the George, in Leeds village (kent) is overseeing this pub and that the George does decent food, this was a nice surprise. Our starters were nice and my main meal, from the specials board- Prawn linguini was as good as any from an Italian restaurant. My wifes steak wasn't to good, but edible. All of her meal was somewhat dry, suggesting perhaps that it had been under a heat lamp whilst my meal was being prepared, who knows? However, and unbeknown to us, this establishment was giving a decent 25 percent off main meals which made the steak a bit more palatable and our meal, with a couple of drinks each cost a very good £50.00. And we left a tip too as the sevice was good and friendly too

Five of us visited The Walnut Tree on Saturday night for a meal. First impressions were of a well kept, attractive 16th century inn with a lovely garden. Ample parking. The food and the range of drinks was absolutely excellent and the service was second to none - quick, friendly and attentive. We had a wonderful night and will undoubtedly visit again when next in the area, highly recommended!

We called in on a Tuesday night without a reservation and a table was made available to us. We both ordered beer battered fish and chips and we were surprised to be served with a very nice plate of food approx 10 minutes after we placed our order. We both had a sizeable piece of fish that was delicious. The chips and veg were also very good.

A period public house which has been renovated, with attention to detail/period by Jason and the project Manager Alison, I am told, but the boss may say differently. An award winning pub with great character and plenty of parking available. The low Tudor beams may not suit everyone!

This was the first time we visited the pub after its refurbishment, although we are local. Place done up nicely but kept its old world charm. Good pub menu with the addition of an excellent specials board. Large enough for choice but small enough to be freshly cooked. When the food arrived it was well presented, decent size portions and very tasty. Well priced too. Staff were friendly and attentive. In all very good, we will be back and will recommend

Called in here for lunch after an enjoyable walk along the river. Really great old pub with lovely staff. The food was really nice.....check out the sticky toffee pudding, probably the best I’ve had.

I 1st visited this pub over 50 years ago and have been eating here since we moved nearby. This was our 1st visit since the pub re-opened and we were so pleased to learn that it had re-opened. What a let down though! The food whilst of good quality was expensive, I had pan cooked cod with cassoulet. Odd that cassoulet had no pork meat in it and that the sauce was thin. Chips were good. One of us found the burger to be dry lacking sauce although ketchup was on hand. salads accompanying were rather simple i.e straight out of the bag. Presentation and service time was not an issue. What was was that we were given a bill with drinks we had not had on it. Further an orange and lemonade in a high ball glass, under 1/2 pint was £3.70. We complained and the bill was corrected and the charge for the orange and lemonade reduced to 60p. Thanks for that. When considered; burgers at £12 cod at £14.00 drinks at London prices, we were very disappointed.

We visited this Pub a couple of weeks ago with friends. Had heard a lot about it - mainly good. Booking was simple and easy.

We visited this pub for the first time, taking advantage of the two-for-one on mains during February. We will be going back as the food (pub type food) was excellent. We were a small party and sat in a small cosy room at the back of the pub. It had all been recently decorated. Very friendly staff, and the garden had been well laid out and looked as it it would be good in the summer.

The refurbished Walnut Tree is a great local pub, decent pub grub and decent beer. Lovely and cosy on a cold winters evening with a very effective logburner

Sunday lunch was absolutely fantastic. Service very attentive. Reasonably priced and lovely setting. Highly recommend and looking forward to visiting again.
