The best restaurants in Saxon Shore Ashford South East

We thoroughly enjoyed visiting as part of a walk. A stunning pub, with an amazing garden, big fan of the range of events on offer.

The bistro was shut for a while, now they are back and it is worth coming to pay a visit.

Really great food would recommend the chicken tikka masala, would come back again

Really nice, cozy and friendly pub. Love the creativity with the music theme throughout, very friendly staff, great atmosphere and food is excellent value for money (would give a 6 star if I could). They have open mic on Mondays, bands over the weekends and the pub is shaped in such a way that you can choose to sit right by the band or a bit quieter area although the music was just right and not over powering. Definitely a place I will go back to and also saw great reviews on othe social media platforms. Excellent pub.

We had a really wonderful experience here. We turned up with our two young children (aged 1 and 3) for lunch on a quiet Friday, and fell in love with the beautiful interior of the pub and cosy log fire. The menu was full of delicious sounding Italian dishes, but was potentially a bit too sophisticated for the kids! So one of the owners offered to make the kids anything from scratch! We opted for a basic pasta and tomato sauce with grilled chicken and steamed veg, and the kids absolutely LOVED it. We tried a bit too and it was so tasty! The children were so content that we managed to have two courses ourselves- a wonderful turkey and roast chestnut soup followed by a cod and a meat pancake dish- and they were really enjoyable. We felt very welcomed and were really well looked after. We will definitely be returning and can’t wait to sit outside and make use of the playground in warmer weather.

Charmingly ramshackle layout. Good beer and wine list, excellent bistro/pub food.

AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE. Because that's what you'll get if you eat there. Revolting

A nice warm welcome from the friendly barman who certainly has a vast knowledge about alcoholic drinks. And a vast amount of tattoos. The food was delicious but expensive to compared to other pubs. I would go back but wouldn’t be able to afford to eat here on a regular basis. I would have given you 5 stars if the prices were more reasonable.

Lovely friendly little family pub also dog friendly. Plenty space for children to run around outside. They have a little crazy golf, football and goals for kids playing football with a small climbing frame. They had 3 singers over 3 Easter days with Easter Egg hunts for children. Very friendly landlord.

What a great shop. We went because the powers that be closed our local Dymchurch butchers shop and we wanted to see what Aldington had to offer. We weren't disappointed. Friendly staff and so well stocked up with meat as well as ready to cook meals, kebabs, cheese, wine, gravies. The pork stakes are really thick and the lamb steaks where a good size and had the bone taken out - bonus. Forgot to ask about the fish, didn't see any though. We'll go back or put an order in by phone as they deliver if it's more than £25. The guy serving us also lives in The Bay and gave us more direct directions back but we must have taken a wrong turn. It was a nice day so it didn't really matter.

Really nice little pub. Great outdoor space too. Didn't try food and this is the only reason for not hitting 5 stars

First time I've been to Barbara Ann's and it did not disappoint. The building it's self was beautiful and was made to feel warm and welcome from the moment we walked through the door. I had the best chai latte I have had in a long time and the food was lovely. Our waitress Danielle was extremely helpful and made sure we were having a great experience very kind and smiley. I will definitely be going for lunch there more often.

Thankfully, now a 'Freehouse' offering a good range of locally produced beers, lager and ciders from the cask (steels) at very competitive prices. All the aforementioned and with a selection of delicious homemade 'gourmet' sausage rolls, chutneys, quiches and cakes to satisfy any discerning palette. A beautiful interior with plenty of space and comfortable seating to relax and enjoy a peaceful pint or glasses of wine. Recommended.

Lovely pub, great staff and beautiful food. Brought my Mum for lunch in the village she was born in 93 years ago. Everything was spot on, thoroughly recommend

Absolutely fantastic dining experience. It was my partners birthday and we were made to feel very accommodated and looked after. She was given a complimentary drink, and the service was top notch. Very friendly and informative, and really made the evening feel special. Food is top notch too!
