Two Sawyers in Rother

Absolutely amazing food. Large portions, fresh and delicious. Was very impressed. Lovely service too.

Great service and a fantastic garden, so much space and different areas

Great pub, lovely location, dog friendly as well.

Nice little pub minutes from the main high street in Canterbury. Small but decent range of beers. Partly covered garden/yard out the back. Lovely staff.

Lovely pub and grounds. Fantastic welcome, but let down by the food that was mediocre at best and as the evening went on our server appeared to, shall we say, lose interest, which was a shame as the rest of the staff were excellent.

Keith and Wendy loved The Steak Meal we had on Saturday the 24th,of January 2025, it was perfect Thank you Lucy and your wonderful staff ! X

Great food with good friendly staff

Lovely little traditional pub on the main road through Pett. Really enjoyed my cheese soufflé starter and for main, I had fish and chips which portion wise was great. Large piece of fish and a good helping of chunky chips. Just wish the batter had a bit of flavour. Otherwise, pretty good.

First class food and good real ale. The braised beef was exceptional, friendly staff too.

I had the beef burger, and it was delicious! The pub was clean, the staff were friendly, we enjoyed our visit and would come here again.

We travelled to the Two Sawyers on Boxing Day and got a tyre pressure warning just before arrival. Fortunately we were just able to make it to the car park. We had some well deserved drinks in the lovely and cosy bar before turning after a long days travel. The next morning we had to sort out the tyre. This clashed with breakfast that had just been served. The staff were very helpful, my husband went to sort out the problem with the AA man, hotel staff were extremely helpfull and flexible to suit our challenges. It all turned out well. It is a charming place to stay, eat and drink. Just a shame of the flat tyre

Great pub,Lovely place and grounds.Very good service and excellent quality food.

We googled places near Fairlight while on holiday and found this absolute gem! Quite possibly the best burger I’ve ever had! The chocolate mousse was exceptional too. The dog was welcomed and the staff were amazing Wish I lived there to go for one of the roasts Well worth a visit

A friend and I travelled down from West London on NYE with my dog. We were staying in Battle but stopped here due to the reviews. A beautifully friendly pub where nothing was too much trouble. We received a really warm welcome from the team working and treats for the dog. We both ordered the burger and it was by far the nicest burger I’ve ever had. Extra beef shin was a winner. If you’re in the area, definitely visit!

Fantastic lunch for Rye Hikers. Our ladies walking group had an amazing experience today and an absolutely brilliant lunch. This pub is marvellous with warm and friendly welcome, wonderful service, great beer and gorgeous food! Utterly fantastic in every respect even though we were a table for 12. Nothing was too much trouble. Very much appreciated 😍

Stayed the night in the car park and had an excellent well priced meal with friendly helpful staff , the only slight issue was the child’s menu was not on the table we had to ask for it

Just returned from an overnight stay at TheTwo Sawyers - lovely comfortable and spotlessly clean room. Very friendly and helpful staff and great breakfast this morning. Would highly recommend.

Had great meal for my son birthday the trout was amazing and Christmas dinner also lovely pudding and staff amazing many thanks Donna

All the stuff are excellent and perlite very nice places to go to

Archetypal country pub, good beer, open fires and very cosy. A good place to go after a country walk. Very good food, good vegan options too

Fantastic Sunday lunch with the family everyone had a great meal both adults and children. Sunday roast was one of the best I had ever had

Always a great meal here. Dog friendly in the bar area, and an excellent gluten free menu.

Amazing Sunday roast and really well priced.

Cracking meal. Soufflé, soup, and chip combo was a particular hit with one of our ramblers.

We had a lovely meal for my husbands birthday. The atmosphere was lovely, the service was friendly and efficient and the food was tremendous. I highly recommend.

Amazing food friendly atmosphere. Clean and really cosy inside. Lots of choice. Highly recommended if you are close by

We were there for the weekend,we stayed in the elm bedroom which was large with ensuite,with very comfy bed. Breakfast was superb and enough to get you through the day. The evening meals were beautifully presented and very tasty, All the staff fro the minute we arrived were friendly,polite and helpful.

Fantastic Sunday lunch in a beautiful location, with a great selection of drinks!

Lucy is a very nice and helpful host. In the pub you can drink beer in a rustic atmosphere until 10 p.m. The food is the best we have had in recent years. But be sure to reserve seats for dinner. After 10 p.m. it's quiet and you can sleep with the window open. The mattress on the king-size bed is a bit sagging and should be replaced soon. But she still slept well.

Stopped for drink .Great find would recommend

My husband and I, and our two dogs visited the Two Sawyers this weekend whilst staying in the lovely Pett village. We visited for afternoon drinks and were lucky to sit outside in the autumn sunshine and then we returned the following day for an evening meal. This is a wonderful village pub, just a few minutes walk from the local campsite where we stayed. It has a lovely large well-maintained outdoor seating area and inside has a lovely cosy atmosphere in the evening. We were able to take our two dogs into the bar area for our meal. Dogs cannot go into the restaurant but the bar area feels like a little restaurant with nice seating and candles on the tables. My husband had the sausage and mash and I had the burger. Both dishes were absolutely delicious. The food was hot, fresh and plentiful. The staff were friendly and helpful and the food was served promptly. We would definitely recommend this pub for food and will return if we’re back in the area.

Just had a fantastic Sunday lunch! The food was amazing- the best Sunday roast we’ve had for a very long time! The staff attentive and the atmosphere was extremely welcoming to all. Absolutely recommend to all. 5 stars ⭐️

Had roast Pork and it was exceptional. Really really nice, staff very friendly and professional. Lovely outside garden area with lots of garden tables. Would definitely recommend the Sunday roast . And the lunchtime weekly menu is fab as well .

Food is amazing, best in the area.

Excellent service and well cooked food

Stayed for 4 nights in July, our 5th year. Rooms big bright and clean, beds comfortable, breakfast freshly cooked from local produce. Dined in twice and food delicious, not your run of the mill pub grub, excellent menus again all fresh locally produced. 5 stars once again, thanks to Lucy, Frank and all their staff who make us feel like its a home from home.

Great food, great beer, lovely friendly staff, homely atmosphere in a very old pub. Quiet location and well kept grounds. This pub is our family's favourite. We love it

We booked for a Sunday dinner and it was amazing. One of the best Sunday roasts in the area by far. The servings were a good size and everything was cooked superbly. We would recommend The Two Sawyers to anyone looking for a good meal.

Very warm welcome from staff and locals alike. We booked a a table and glad we did because it’s clearly a favourable place to eat and how lucky we were to find this place. We had three dogs with us which was not a problem as it’s very dog friendly (inc biscuits!). The food was amazing, perfect atmosphere, a great service and will definitely return. Thank you Two Sawyers of Pett.

Just a very nice all round experience. Very good staff, excellent food in a lovely old pub atmosphere. And quite reasonably priced. So easy to recommend.

Came across by chance lovely pub and garden. Ice cold wine perfect. Just dissapointing that no food till 5.30 as menu looked great

Really nice pub. Menu a little limited but the quality was very good. The Melbac red wine was very good.

Amazing food and excellent service. Very friendly and helpful staff. We had roast beef dinner and Cod Supreme from the specials menu. Both were outstanding. We will return.

Another great meal and good service at The Two Sawyers.

A charming country pub with cosy seating inside and plenty of outdoor seating available. The menu is traditional pub food with good choices. The quality of food was excellent, with options for vegetarians and gluten free. I would advise notifying ahead for specific allergens, so they can be properly catered for.

Really great pub restaurant food

Absolutely gorgeous! Nothing else to say.

This was a great find on our drive back to London. The food was delicious, and the service was quick, professional, and friendly. There is convenient parking on-site and plenty of outdoor seating.

Went for an evening meal there were 7 of us. The food was excellent, hot, and a good range of choices. Good service and atmosphere.

Great food, staff friendly and helpful, good selection of beers and wines, free stop over in the van, just purchase an evening meal, all good will return when in the area

Very cute traditional English country pub with bundles of atmosphere. Lovely food.

Had a wonderful group lunch here today. Fabulous food - tasty, hot and well presented and great service. We will be back. Thank you.

Excellent food and service. We went 3 nights on the trot. Great pub.

Excellent food with lots of choice, very friendly staff, reasonable prices. A beautiful old English pub !

Great place to stay...very friendly and hard working. Food is fantastic . Thankyou

Such a relaxing atmosphere friendly staff good beer

We had an overnight stay here. Enjoying an evening meal as well. Lovely pub, friendly staff, good beer. Nice garden. Breakfast was also amazing and super tasty.

Although not easy to get to without a car, this charming pub serves thoughtful cooking with lovely, kind service. Great outdoor seating area too.

This was a great place to have lunch with a dozen of our biker friends. Excellent lunch choices and great service. There was plenty of room to be outside or in, witvinskde offering a maze of different options of tables in different areas.

Visited last Tuesday the 25th June with my brother who had been a regular there during the 1960s when it was run more as a country club by Mike Jackson. Now very much changed with plenty of outdoor seating. Inside the pub is cosy and full of charm with a small but comfortable bar. Drinks were fairly priced and my pint of Harveys superb. We were given the menu but as we hadn't planned to have a full lunch we opted for a bowl of cheesy chips and deep fried Squid - both delicious. Overall a positive experience. The staff were friendly and courteous. We shall be back.

Smashing village pub, best described as very quirky and welcoming.

Mum took me here twice on my holiday to visit and when she said it was a cut above the rest she wasn't kidding. The pork roast was hands down one of the best I've had, ever, and the potatoes were done to perfection. The chefs are definitely the real deal. The food here has been some of the best memories of things I ate around East Sussex, so it gets a solid five stars and next time i pop down to visit i hope it's the first place we go to.

Great food & friendly staff! Campervan stayover when eating at the pub!

Drove past and looked nice. Stopped in for a pint

Beautiful old English style pup, great food and great service! Beautiful little spot and worth a trip too, great drive too get here also. Service from staff is awesome and food is really well priced

Absolutely magical. The staff are super friendly and welcoming.

We stopped here for dinner and the roast was lovely, staff were lovely, friendly and helpful and would definitely recommend.

We visited here twice while staying at a nearby campsite, the setting is so lovely with a forest right next to the pub. We ate here on the 2nd visit and the food was exceptional, especially the homemade burger that I had.

Excellent food, beer and service. Highly recommend 👌

Dropped by for a drink I their nice garden. Didn't fancy the menu choices as we were looking for a fish menu. Nothing wrong with their daily menu.

Exceptional meal. Chicken roastie and veggie wellington excellent. Veggie sides were even better. Cheese soufflé starter very good.

Wonderful place to be, the nicest people and best & delicous food!

“Homemade burger” the nearest comparison is an over cooked frozen birdseye burger. Not to be rude but that burger meat needs to be changed immediately. Lovely pub in a good location but that meat has me driving home in silence.

Came for Sunday Lunch. Although the staff were very friendly and helpful the food was very disappointing. Yorkshire puddings had no taste, roast potatoes were anything but roasted, mixed vegetables overcooked and soggy, cauliflower cheese hard and not enough sauce. Meat and gravy nothing outstanding. Beautiful setting of the pub does not compensate for disappointing food

What a lovely village pub!! Really friendly and welcoming staff.

Very enjoyable experience. Excellent staff . Reasonably priced

Got lost so rang pub and a lovely member of staff stayed on the phone and talked me in Thank you Pub is lovely nothing to much trouble 5 ⭐

Lovely pub, pretty setting, friendly staff and great food at reasonable prices. Nice specials board also and options for gluten free. Would return!

Visited twice for evening meals as staying nearby, friendly and professional, traditional cosy pub with hearty pub food. Enjoyed great rib eye steaks and can see staff really make the effort. Well done guys.

A great village country pub with welcoming and friendly staff, lovely atmosphere with an open fire, dog friendly area and an excellent menu with hearty pub fare but with a range of delicious specials too. We went for dinner and managed three very generous courses and went back for lunch a few days later. Very impressed with the team and food. Would highly recommend.

What an amazing country pub for Sunday lunch, the setting is picturesque driving through Pett, ample parking, and a beautiful entrance to the bar with an open fire at the bar. The dining area has lovely low ceilings (mind your head), there's a great food selection, the welcome is warm, the service friendly and attentive, and the vegetarian option worthy for a roast beats most other places offering. Price point is just right. Overall, we were seriously impressed and would come back in a heartbeat if we were in the area. Perfect way to celebrate a birthday. We were a Couple dining.

Fantastic Sunday roast- the best we've had in years 👍👍👍super friendly and efficient staff with a proper country pub atmosphere- definitely going again soon

Tasty reasonably priced food. Cask ale in fair condition. Friendly service. Rather smokey atmosphere- problem with the open fire. Will certainly go back when next visiting Hastings area.

we have recently discovered this beautiful pub & restaurant, and have been blown away by the service and the food. the staff are the friendliest we have experienced, always so welcoming.. and the food is amazing, truly brilliant 👏🏻 we plan to return regularly Thank you for the experience you provide x

5th visit in a week says it all really !! Fantastic food , vegan and meat . Lovely atmosphere, cosy and welcoming after a long walk , dog friendly . Lovely staff

Very cozy and a proper country pub with beautiful food

Had a few drinks there and everything was okay, but the woman Lucy i believe her name was, was incredibly rude when serving us and only seemed to care about the locals.

Had a lovely evening meal here. Good quality and value for money. Cosy, traditional, atmospheric. Staff friendly, chatty and helpful.

Very warm and welcoming staff very nice food and a nice pint

We were recommended this pub by our hosts, and we would be more than happy to pass on our recommendations, too. There is plenty of parking to the side and rear of the pub. The service was excellent, very attentive and friendly staff throughout our meal. We had ham hock crockets with homemade piccalilli for starters, and the mains were sea bass and rib eye steak, all cooked to perfection and very generous portions, and good value for money.

Amazing food, polite and friendly staff, lovely pub

Very nice food! We will definitely go there again, my kids love it!

Great traditional pub. New management this year. It’s even better than before. Delicious food at great prices. Inside is a very traditional old English pub and dining area. Outside is a large beer garden with loads of parking. Best make a reservation

Fourth visit to the Two Sawyers and yet again a very pleasant time had by all. Very good food, wine, service and atmosphere. Will definitely book again.

Good food, relaxed atmosphere, log fire..

Had a brilliant overnight stay on our walk. Staff could not be more Friendly or helpful- they let us have breakfast early as we needed to get on. Atmosphere in the bar in the evening was great- felt part of the local Community. The 16th Century inn is full of atmosphere- plenty of beams and nooks and crannies. Our room was beautiful, well equipped and clean. Really appreciated fresh milk in the fridge for tea and coffee. In a beautiful part of the world- we will be back in the bluebell season!

Lovely locals pub Lovely staff always welcome and a smile 😃

The food is absolutely fantastic! Love my Sunday dinners and desserts at the The Two Sawyers

Fantastic homemade and freshly cooked food, with very friendly service. This place should be the definition of a well-run, lovely country pub. Dog friendly in the bar area, where food can also be served, or if you prefer dog free the restaurant is available too. Thank you :)

Fantastic pub. Family outing,all enjoyed our meals, 4 empty plates. Best meal out in 2023, will return. Service brilliant. Lamb really tender, pork tasty.
