William Caxton in Ashford

visited here while staying for doing a wine tour. Traditional pub , made very welcome by the locals, so went twice in two days

We stayed here last night and what a lovely time we had 😁😁 the room not huge but more than adequate, it was nicely decorated (homely) with all the usual facilities including a great shower, toiletries, hairdryer and even a magnifying mirror! (Woman will understand!) John and his team are very funny, friendly and down to earth and extremely helpful. We also eat in the restaurant and the Thai food authentic, fresh and absolutely delicious. They are not doing breakfast at the moment but we went to ‘The Lemon Tree’ and had a superb breakfast. Thanks everyone we will be back! ❤️ xx

After a walk around Tenterden we returned to enjoy a good choice of beers and wine in the rear sun trap of a garden. Despite my wifes quite tricky dietary needs, the Thai chef made her the most enjoyable and tasty meal she has eaten out in a while and mine was superb! Cannot fault them for value, friendliness and being very attentive throughout our time there.

I have been looking forward to trying this takeaway for some time and decided to order for my last meal in Tenterden with my sister before we move away. Although the service was friendly, the food was not ready when we went to collect it. Not really much of a problem, but the real issue was the food. We had satay and fish cakes for starters. I don't know what was on the satay sauce, but it was very watery and completely tasteless. The fish cakes were rubbery and greasy. For mains, my sister had the pad that chicken which was greasy noodles with absolutely no taste, there was no sign of the ground peanuts. I had the drunken noodles. These were noodles, what appeared to be frozen vegetables and a great deal of chilli. Absolutely no sign of the bean shoots or the sweetcorn promised. All were swimming in grease. I really cannot explain how disappointed we were.

This was our first visit to the William Caxton, although only a short drive from home, was a great success. Our son suggested finding a Thai restaurant and we were really impressed with ‘Belle’s “ : the really fresh tasting food, which was perfectly cooked to order and great authentic flavour. You can mention if you prefer your food either more or less hot and it really was delicious. We ate in the dining room, which was quiet so we felt perfectly safe COVID - wise and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Chicken satay and the Thai beef curry were both tender and juicy, delicious.

Rude landlord and landlady. I will never visit again. Don't be fooled by its quaint appearance.. A real shame.

Food ok but time to wait between courses very long wait, could understand it if the pub was busy but 16 people having meals, was about to walk out after waiting nearly an hour between Starters and main but they offered us free drinks on the meal. So they obviously know there is a problem in the kitchen maybe they should employ a proper chef!!!! won’t be eating here again in the near future

Blisteringly delicious Thai at Belles within the Caxton. The quality of the food, the proportions, and presentation was superb in every way. I wish I had taken a few photos of the starters. They provide take away as well. Open Thursday Friday Saturday I believe.

We had thai tonight and the chicken satay is the best I have ever tasted oh my it was so delicious. All the other courses I must say were amazing. You have to visit as a hidden gem of amazing food at the en d of the high St. The extra walk is so worth it.Staff always friendly and service they can not do enough for you X

Lovely bar great staff we visited on a Saturday afternoon and weren’t disappointed, a good selection of beers and wines. We hadn’t realised they served Thai food but had already booked elsewhere but we will definitely be back to eat here

Four of us stayed here as we were going to chapeldown. We originally thought the highlight of our stay would be our tour of the vineyards but it was not it was the pub itself John the landlord and his staff could not do enough for you, so accommodating & Friendly. Rooms are immaculate and the thai food was beautiful! Breakfast was lovely with hot pastries fresh fruit toast jams cereals fruit juice with fresh coffee/tea. Thank you for a wonderful stay...🙂

I had booked to stay at The William Caxton as it is a perfect location for a tour booked at The Chapel Down Winery, which I booked for my Twin, My brother in Law, my husband and myself, seeing as Chapel Down Winery is only a short 5 minute taxi ride. I had been in touch with the landlord John to arrange some surprises for my Twin on our birthday and John could not have been more accommodating. After us all meeting John, we would all agree John is such a lovely man and he makes a great landlord. We all felt very comfortable and he helped us with everything we needed and his staff were all so lovely too.Our rooms were all sparkly clean and our beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed a delicious Thai meal on the Saturday evening and our continental breakfast in the morning was not disappointing there was lots to choose from and was all tasty and fresh and that even included warm pastries and plenty to drink, as you are offered tea and coffee straight way and you could help yourself to juices. We would rate our stay 10/10 and we will definitely stay again at The William Caxton. Thank you John for helping to make our birthday weekend special.

Not sure where to start. Been to this pub several times and had a wonderful meal, this time however it was terrible. The food took ages even though we were the only group in the pub and it wasn’t cooked properly. Buyer beware.

The Caxton is a lovely pub. Because of its location at the bottom end of the High Street many visitors don't know about it so is mostly frequented by locals. We had heard good things about the Thai food they were offering on Thurs/Fri/Sat evenngs so went with some friends. The menu is fairly small but everything we had was very tasty, in particular the Massamum beef curry and Weeping Tiger sirloin beef. Would we go again? Absolutely!

We stayed at the William Caxton for one night to visit Chapel Down Vineyard. The William Caxton is perfectly located for this visit and feels traditional with lots of history. A great pub with excellent food, drink and service. Thanks to John and his team for such a lovely experience the service was above and beyond. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a well priced night or two in Tenterden.

They're just starting out with Thai, available at the back end of the week and weekends. Fun, great atmosphere, good food. I wish them the best.

I was looking forward to my local, The Caxton, having its first Thai night and I was not disappointed. The wait was well worth it. I had a takeaway for 6 of us and we all thoroughly enjoyed the meal. We tried a wide range of the dishes. Really authentic and will certainly be making this a regular thing. Well done for trying something different. Sam

We stayed on night as we had a trip on the local pullman train.we were greeted by a very pleasant landlord who was very friendly, he showed us to our room which i thought was not really worth the money but saying that it was clean and tidy with all the bits you expect. The pub itself is next to a busy road and as it was so hot we had to have the windows open, the the traffic noise was a little annoying as its on a tee junction, but we found ear plugs in the draw which worked, so not a bad night's sleep. we didn't eat in the restaurant as we had a meal booked on the pullman train.The breakfast in the morning is a continental type, not my favorite but there was plenty there so no need to go hungry.overall it was a very pleasant stay.

Had a very nice stay here, the room was great the staff were really helpful. Decided to also eat in the evening and found the food great too, the manager even let us drink our own bottle of champagne with our meal that we had brought to celebrate my wife's birthday. Would definitely stay again.

Needed to nip across the road to pick up an Indian from the Badsha (which incidentally was a very good take-away). Lack of parking on the road and only one vehicle on the pub forecourt, I stopped outside. Before I’d even locked the car, the landlord was out telling me I couldn’t park, I explained I was just picking up a takeaway. He was adamant ‘this is for my customers and patrons....’ whatever, pub looked dead anyway for a Friday night.... good luck buddy...

The landlord was very friendly and welcoming compared one of the other pubs nearby. The food and service was excellent. This place is also dog friendly which is a bonus as we brought along our dog when we went on the K&ES; railway. Will come again on Father's day

Really lovely pub, clean and friendly, how a pub should be, shepherd neame so all the great ales, stayed the night as going to a wedding, room was basic but clean and tidy, tv, comfy bed, tea and coffee facilities, lovely big bathroom and a jacuzzi bath. Highly recommended

First the positives: we booked for lunch but needn’t have, lots of availability . Big open fire, warm welcome from host, tasteful Christmas decorations and music.

Ideal as it was near Chapel Down Winery, very helpful. Room very clean. Place had a lot of character.

We had a great lunch at the pub. When 8 of us walked in to eat lunch after a ride on the Steam train, it could have been difficult but it was exactly what we wanted. The atmosphere was friendly, as was the welcome. A mixed family with 3 generations, our requirements were varied but there was no problem, suggestions were made by the landlord who warned us of the items which would take a time to prepare.

Staying close to Chapel Down is a must to fully enjoy the whole experience and we booked late with limited availability in Tenterden.

As a group of disabled carers at the end of a residential week just outside Tenterden, we’d sought out the local pub that had music on Saturday night for our night out.

Just had lunch at the Caxton and the chicken bites are mouthwatering they are very morrish and sausage baguette was very tasty. Great service and the food is really tasty make sure you visit end of high St as very worth it. Just got our desserts lovely

Fabulous club sandwich, one of the best EVER! Couldn’t recommend enough! Very accommodating, friendly and welcoming.

We have not been here for a long time, mainly due to it changing hands so often, but decided to give it another go.

Friends were on a visit and we decided to go to the William Caxton pub as it had a good rating. We went just after 12 and ordered drinks at the bar and were given a lunch menu, which was limited, luckily non of us were vegetarians or vegans so we did have an option. My friend and I had the scampi and the men had the chicken and the

Lovely place but bedroom windows open onto the main road and it’s very noisy during the early hours. Continental breKfast was lovely and th3 people that own it are great too.

We've been here for our last two Christmas social meals and both times its been great. Due to the size of our group, we have the whole dining area and this is perfect for us. We're not overly loud but not having to worry about disrupting others is a definite plus. Staff are nice and are always helpful.

Met a friend for lunch yesterday and couldn't fault the food or service. Super 7's lunch menu is really good value for money with generous portions for the price, garlic bread with cheese was yummy as was the freshly made apple crumble. Lovely, friendly bar staff made us feel very welcome even though it was our first ever visit. The only fault I can find is the lack of parking spaces but there are plenty of public car parks around and I certainly wouldn't let that put me off visiting again. My iPad won't let me rate food, service and value but they were all 5 stars.

Lovely friendly pub. Very cheerful and easy to feel welcomed. Nice sitting area, good food and quick service.

Atherton the 777 menu, very good value! Pudding was also good value and tasty, bar staff very welcoming and we sat in the side room. Location at the end of the High street means it wasn't too busy!

Just called in for a couple of drinks and sat in the lovely beer garden at the rear. Very pleasant and friendly bar staff.

Clicki locals pub who rule the roost, rude staff and microwave food , cheap and it shows, having been in and around tenterden for many years I'm disappointed as to how the Caxton has become, shame because the people who run it arelovely it's a shame I have to write this as I have always enjoyed the Caxton, never to go back I'm affraid

Muy impresionado. Caxton era un hombre tenterden!

Fuimos allí para la cena del domingo, y nos sentamos afuera, en el jardín de la cerveza en la parte trasera, ya que el tiempo era muy agradable. La comida era deliciosa, y a un precio muy razonable. La camarera era muy agradable, servicial y nada era demasiado para ella. Sin duda volveremos cuando esté en Tenterden.

La primera vez que hemos visitado este pub. Éramos un grupo de seis y habíamos reservado para comer el domingo. Ambiente muy agradable. Claramente una gente volver a regularmente. Nuestras preferencias variadas y peticiones fueron atendidos con facilidad y buen humor. La comida era abundante y bien preparada. Yo estaba encantado de conseguir excelentes verduras recién preparada (zanahorias, brócoli, coliflor) - Una rareza cuando comer ahora. El Capricho también se deshacen en la boca brownie!

Reservamos una mesa para 9 personas y un perro para comer el domingo. Buen trabajo que hicimos, el lugar estaba lleno! 8 de nosotros tuvimos asados de carnes y todo muy bien. Carne, verduras, patatas asadas 3 y un Yorkshire pud con salsa. 1 de...

The pub is in a brilliant location at the end of the High St. Lots of local attractions nearby, e.g. seaside towns like Hastings, or gardens like Sissinghurst. We received an extremely friendly and warm welcome by the delightful staff, and they let us check in early, even upgrading us to their best room. Nothing was too much trouble. We then enjoyed a lovely pint in the warm sun at the end of their charming beer garden. The room was excellent - very clean and well-furnished, with a spa bath for a real treat. It was quiet and we slept very well. The full English breakfast the next morning was delicious and perfectly cooked, and served with a generously-sized cafetiere of coffee. Overall we had a brilliant stay and would book again without hesitation. All of this came at a very competitive price too, so we couldn't have been happier with our stay.

Tenterden is so full of restaurants that people sometimes don't bother to walk to the end of the High Street to this excellent, welcoming pub. The food is extremely reasonable, well presented and all served in pleasant surroundings. With the fire on at this time of year, a place to linger and savour another glass of wine before walking back to the High Street for more shopping.

I live just around the corner from this lovely pub. Although I usually only go for lunch, there is always such a lovely atmosphere, and always someone lovely behind the bar. We go for the special offer lunches which are always very satisfying and tasty. The William Caxton has regular weekly quizzes and entertainment which are very popular. We hope to go one day if we olduns can stay up late enough!! All-in-all this is a real asset to my neck of the woods.

A typical small town pub with restaurant, nothing fancy but friendly good quality and pleasant staff with real ale.

Nipped to the Caxton for a quick lunch again. We had the 2 meals for £12 option which offers a great menu with good lunchtime choices. Made very welcome as always and took a small table near the lovely log fire so kept nicely warm.

Lovely pub with a large garden didn't know it was there . Friendly bar staff when there a few times when we stayed there worth a visit .

We called in for drinks on a hot afternoon and were greeted warmly by the barmaid. Our collie pup was given a biscuit and there were several water bowls. We enjoyed a couple of pints of the local lager in the beer garden. we plan to return to try the food when we are next in the area

Lovely atmosphere and great food ! Happy to let our dogs into the bar too . Definitely worth visiting if you want a good old fashioned friendly pub . Land lady is really friendly , always a warm welcome

We booked 2 rooms for a Fri/Sat stay in Tenterden visiting relatives. I think there are 3 rooms. The bedrooms very nice - clean and comfortable, nice showers, tv, Coffee making facilities etc. The pub is in a nice location and the breakfast was delicious. Great value for money and we will definitely go back. The rooms can be accessed through the pub or there is private access through the garden. We ate in the pub on the first night which was very nice. Walking distance too to lots of other coffee shops/restaurants. Limited parking off street but we got parked. Owners v nice.

Went with extended family. Had a beautiful meal. Staff were very accommodating . One of our party's meal wasn't the best however I have to say the rest of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals.

Lunched at this friendly pub. Pleasant clean interior. We chose fresh breaded plaice which was perfect. Ham salad with generous helping of tender ham, and a tasty beef burger. A very good value lunch today, we will be back, thank you

We chose the William Caxton after reading other reviews on Trip advisor . Thankfully we were not disappointed. We received a very warm welcome, something lacking in many pubs these days. I was allowed to sample my wine before purchasing, another nice touch. We spent the next three hours in the garden enjoying the warm weather and a tasty three course meal. The waitress/barmaid bought us our food and extra drinks with a smile and professionalism. Our last hour was spent chatting to a lovely local couple who walk their dog to the William Caxton. The pub, when we went to pay our bill was very busy, so obviously popular with the locals. A lovely relaxing summer evening. Left feeling Glad we had chosen this pub.

This is a friendly pub and welcomes old and new customers . the selection of ales and Lagers is good . if you like the football they have a big tv in the main bar . the food is very good too. the staff treat you like a local stright away . very nice pub to have a beer or a bite to eat .

Lovely, friendly welcome to a traditional pub. The menu is short and has classic pub grub but do not be fooled - this is serious cooking! The lightest, crispest batter on a vast piece of cod was served with perfect chips and a huge smile. Brilliant.Stayed overnight in a lovely, comfortable room and breakfast was great, especially the coffee.

The William Caxton is one of the many pups in Tenterden.. but the only one with a traditional feel of an olde English pub. I often pop in there on my way home from the dog walk, they are very dog friendly and have doggie treats behind the bar. I have eaten there a few times and the food is very good. The chicken, avocardo and feta salad is great best salad I have ever tasted...There dressing which they serve in a little jug is to die for... I don't normally like salad dressings but this one you must try. Fantastic roast...( just like mother use to make) Go on treat yourself,,,

Passing through Tenterdon we decided to stop for lunch and lucked in with this pub. Delightful and speedy service and the best fish and chips we had eaten in a while.

We went here for dinner without reservation. That night a pub quiz was going on. We were able to join, had lots of fun and a great dinner. We will definitely return if we are in Tenterden again!

Stopped there for lunch after reading the reviews and yes it is a lovely cosy pub. Sat by the fire had a drink then ordered food.....the staff are very friendly and the food was delicious...will definately go back

Lovely old pub with lots of character and a roaring fire. We visited with family and friends after a trip on the Tenterden Santa Steam train. There is parking for a couple of cars right in front of the entrance and more spaces on the roads nearby. We all chose a Sunday roast dinner; there was a choice of lamb, beef or turkey. It was quite simply, delicious. Just a really good roast dinner and most welcome after the cold of the railway trip. Service was very efficient and friendly. One tip for a Sunday is that they stop serving food at 3pm so you need to place your order before then. Would definitely visit again.

Visited today with my boyfriend whilst on a day trip to Tenterden. Parked just round the corner so not an issue. Pub was very quiet but excellent service, lovely staff and the food was the best I've had in a long time and very reasonably priced, would definitely recommend!

Another hidden jem in the Weald. It's worth the walk to the end of the high street to visit this pub. The new owners have really gone all out on the menu and the food is fantastic!My son had the rump steak as there was no burger on the menu (my one complaint) and my chilli was brilliant. We've been here before with previous owners and the pub side has not lost it's charm. It's a lovely place to visit and so pleased they're now serving food as well. We will be back!

Friendly pub, a warm welcome. Only stayed for one drink but the atmosphere was really good and had it not been quiz night we might have stayed for dinner!

Tried the William Caxton again having not been there for some time. Very pleasantly surprised. The paella was outstanding, as good as I've had anywhere. Obviously fresh ingredients and home prepared. Will definitely come back again.

One of my fave pubs in the town. Staff really friendly and so are the locals. Had sausage and mash and fella had ham, egg and chips. Couldnt fault it. Dog friendly and nice setting at the end of the high street.

The Caxton is probably the only 'proper' pub in Tenterden and is to some extent a hidden gem. It has a friendly bar where locals gather, an inside dining area and a surprisingly spacious garden - with a boules piste to boot!!The two for £12 lunch deal is excellent - even at the full menu price it is good value.Try it.The only limitation is car parking but it is worth the walk from the high street and the off road car parks.

Lovely grub, and lots of it and freshly prepared. The staff are very friendly and the beer and other drinks are good and fairly priced not like a few others in Tenterden. It's located at the end of the high street well worth a visit.

Lovely meal. Good menu, friendly service. We were looking for a nice pub which served good food and we found it.

We journeyed to Tenterden for a Friday of sightseeing. We walked the high street wandering in and out of the various shops. When we reached the end of town we decided to take lunch at the Caxton. We were greeted by a smiling hostess and a warm and cozy atmosphere. I had the ham and eggs and my wife had some of the best sausage and mash I have ever tried. They were running a lunch special so we both ate for less than 15 GBP. Our hostess was very helpful and friendly and we appreciated her suggestions on what to see in the area. We would lunch here again when we are in town.

I was with my wife and step-daughter for an afternoon out in Tenterden, and we decided we'd find somewhere for lunch before we took a stroll. Knowing from past experience that on a Saturday some of the town centre places could be rather busy we thought we'd try this place on the outskirts (well five minutes walk to the town centre).Decor is very much cosy traditional country pub with a few more trendy touches to brighten it up. Comfortable and not too pretentious. As it was just about warm enough though we ate in the sheltered rear garden.I had a Ploughman's lunch, my wife had soup and my step-daughter had whitebait. . All of us were happy with the food - not super fancy, but decent pub food.Staff were friendly and I enjoyed the pint, although the real ale selection wasn't great (it's a Shepherd Neame pub).Food prices were reasonable. If it had been a Free House I'd have sought it out again, as it is I'd more than happily go back if someone else was choosing.

Five of us had lunch at this cosy pub and were very impressed by the service, food and friendliness of the staff. Prices were very reasonable and food well cooked.Needless to say it deserved top rating and looking forward to revisiting again soon.

Sunday lunches….superb. Not your run of the mill stuff here, this is a serious Sunday Lunch and one for the 'must go back' lists!

We had Sunday lunch here on a visit to Tenterden. A couple of us had the two course £10 and a couple the three course £12 and shared desserts. We had the deep fried Camembert to start which was lovely and melty. The roasts were plentiful and well cooked. We had baileys cheesecake and sticky toffee pudding to finish. It was very good for the price and a very friendly pub. Recommended.

Six of us had lunch here. Fantastic value at £12 for two meals. Good choice of menu. Freshly cooked and nicely presented. All found our choices delicious.

What a gem - found this pub for the first time, despite having visited Tenterden many times before (have always stayed at the other end of the village to eat on previous visits) - but shall definitely return!We ate from the 2 for £12 menu for our mains, both dishes were delicious and amply proportioned. We also managed to fit in a sweet as well - huge plates of crumble and custard, and finished off with a pot of tea each.Good selection of ales, (Shepherd Neame house) and very welcoming lady behind the bar, who made us feel really at homeIt's a 'real' pub!!!

A great pub with friendly staff, nice bunch of locals and a well priced menu with a good selection of dishes. Great atmosphere and a lovely big fireplace just right for those cosy winter evenings.

Had early dinner in the pub before attending wedding - my hubby had the BIGGEST steak and kidney pud ever .... and it was delicious (I had to try it!). Lovely meal and good pub prices too. We stayed for B&B and breakfast was also excellent.

We enjoyed a great family meal in the nice beer garden. I have food intolerances and the staff were so helpful. We all agreed the food was great. Two of us had a roast, I'm sure you will garee roasts can vary from one pub to another - well this was the best pub roast we have ever had!

This pub has a lovely atmosphere, very nice staff. Service is impeccable. Great events here really enjoyed the Psychic Night, great value for money, would come here again and again and cannot wait for another Psychic Night with the amazing Grant Colyer and Robin Lown, real Psychic and Palmist.

A friendly traditional pub with a good menu that includes food to suit all tastes. Highly recommended. It even has a small beer garden.

Another pub we visited for a drink and later a meal. Bar staff very friendly and helpful - lovely atmosphere and good food, would certainly recomend.

What a lovely welcome and a fantastic roast dinner! Great value and well worth a visit! The meal was delicious and I can't wait to come back!

Sitting in the William Caxton while writing this review. Just had a quick snack. Deep fry cheese wifh salad and jelly. Wonderful!Can really recommend this place. Friendly staff, great food, great wines etc. and reasonable prices.

We had sunday lunch which was huge we had soup to start which was very filling then lunch of roast pork, roast and mash potatoes, sprouts, carrots, broccoli, peas, Yorkshire, parsnips. Could hardly walk after!!! Music from 1066 Rockitmen was great. Bought raffle tickets and won twice (meat) thoroughly enjoyable lunch and evening.

I have visited The William Caxton a couple of times lately. Its a good, homely pub with good home cooking.I had a Chilli when I had a meal there. It was, I believe, classed as a snack, but it was big enough to be a full blown meal. It was a great chilli! I have also heard from a friend who had one of their Steak and Kidney pies. He said it was so big, he could not eat it all! Great value for money here for lovely foo and lovely service.

Lovely tradional pub with friendly, helpful landlord and staff. It was a busy night (folk singing and beer festival in bar) when we visited, and there was an initial problem with our food order. But when the food finally arrived, it was very good and the landlord apologised and gave us wine on the house to make amends. The bar staff were also very concerned to put things right and despite the delay, we had a very good evening at the William Caxton and will definitely go again.

I had a working lunch with half a dozen others. Warned off the pies, we chose "mere" pub grub and it was great!

The William Caxton has been through several landlords in recent times and everyone was looking forward to the new landlord with great hopes for the future, Tenterden needs this pub to be a success. BUT it was quite appalling. Arrived at 12.15 for bar meal, advertised opening 12 noon. Barmaid served drinks, we ordered food, some 10 minutes later she came over to say that the landlord (chef) was upstairs having a shower and it would be some 20 minutes before he came down, so our food would be a while. We were served the food (scampi and chips) just before 1.15pm. We were the only customers in the pub. The food was served almost cold on cold plates, and the chips were soggy, they had never seen a deep fat fryer, we suspect they were microwaved. At no stage did we see the landlord, when under the circumstances you would have thought he could have come and said "hello" and even apologised for putting his shower before our food!!!!!! We won't be going back.

Very good place to have quick drinks or lunch in a cosy atmosphere surrounded by friendly staff. My friend and I have enjoyed our time here and we will definitly come again!

At long last a pub in Tenterden I like, I went there with some friends for lunch and we were all delighted with the food we received. Simple things such as the chips were definitely made fresh and NOT frozen, and the eggs were cooked perfectly. The beer was good as was the atmosphere, we will be back.

Fantastic place, was here for weekend, lovely and friendly couple who are running , had beautiful meal that was excellent value and delicious, will be returning.

Sadly not a good choice. Only roast pork or beef on sunday. Friendly so wondered why so quiet?Impossible to do a roast porly? Just overcook it. Tried hard, just not in a nice atmosphere, food dull dull hardly passable in 2013 and many better places in the same street. They should visit the excellent Turkish with street tables a few hundred meters away.

A lovely friendly pub with proper fires and no games machines or juke boxes! There are only 3 or 4 rooms to stay in and these are access by going into the garden and back in through a separate door. The food was excellent when we stayed there, especially the breakfast when it seemed you could have near enough anything you wanted.

Outstanding breakfast as part of B&B package. The lady does a great fry up!!

We ate on a busy Saturday night and even though the chef was dealing with a buffet, our meals arrived promptly and cooked to perfection. Our table had two of the DIY steaks which looked and tasted fabulous, the Lamb Tagine which my partner said tasted lovely and authentic, and I had the Chicken and roasted vegetable kebab which was simply amazing. After this we all had warm chocolate brownies which were the best we have ever tasted. All in all a wonderful and well priced meal in a nice pub.

I stayed here in November but have dined 3 times since. Very tasty each time....no faults at all. Staff very friendly and attentive.

As a local to the town I've been in here many times over the years. It's had a bit of a rocky/patchy time over the last few years with a few changes of management. However the landlady Debbie has turned it around and made it better than it ever has been. I've just taken my family there for Christmas dinner. The first time ever we've eaten out on Christmas day. It was a wonderful meal. Perfectly presented and tasted great. The service was excellent with all the staff happy and very pleasant. If you're visiting the town please come to the Caxton before you try any other pubs. If you want a decent British pub with great food and the best staff in town. Come here. Right at the end of the town. Don't be tempted to go anywhere else.

We visited this pub which is right at the end of the High Street in Tenterden for lunch. It is a good looking building although very pub like, ie a bit unclear as to what it would be like inside. As soon as we entered it was extremely friendly and beautifully decorated.We ordered a 'Caxton Burger' each from the very decent menu with a side order of onion rings. It did take a while to arrive but it was clear they were preparing our order from scratch so no problem there.We were totally overwhelmed when it arrived! It was huge and looked utterly delicious. It tasted even better than it looked and the onion rings were the biggest and freshest ever. Unbelievable value too at around £8.95 all in. I cannot recall a better pub lunch and I think this was the best burger I have ever had including holidays in the USA.Well done to this Pub, a great place in one of the nicest town's. I totally recommend a visit.

We went for the day in Tenterden and found this little old english pub so we decided to eat there. the food was amazing proper home cooked food. My husband had the chef's ssecrect recipe chilli and i had the burger both were fabulous the best we had tried ever.Thank you for a pleasant visit.
