The best restaurants in Tenterden South Ashford South East

Fantastic! The staff are great especially the landlady

Food was fine as always. It would have been good to know when booking that there was a live band. The music was lively and loud which made it impossible to chat to our friends. If we had been seated in the restaurant that may have been better.

Frozen chips , frozen scampi, frozen peas / handful of bagged salad. Scone warmed in microwave until like rubber. What’s not to like

Terrible service. 1 classic hot chocolate with cream, 2 lattes and 3 cold mince pies. Shouldn't be too hard. The barista (slightly overstating the job title here) made the hot chocolate first, added the cream and then sat it on the side whilst getting and opening the milk for the coffee....by which time the cream had melted into the hot chocolate. I asked for the cream to be added when the coffee was ready, expecting them to pour it away and start again, doing it properly. No, more cream was added to the original drink, left to melt again, 45pence worth (8) mini marshmallows added, all the melted cream poured down the side of the mug, then it was put onto the tray. 2 coffees followed and I was asked if I wanted the mince pies warmed up. "No thank you". They turned around and started serving the next customer. I asked for my mince pies and was told they were in the microwave. "But I didn't want them warm" I said. So they got them out of the microwave, dumped them on my tray "they're not too hot". "Errrm no, I wanted them cold". Hence more slamming things around and 3 cold mince pies came our way. Along with a hot chocolate swimming with 2 lots of completely melted cream and not even an apology. £20! Wow, train the Saturday staff please.

me and my partner came here for lunch in November. it was a pleasant atmosphere, except for the staff and prices!!! the sausage roll was 8 pounds and was raw and small. the staff member, negrah i think her name was, was very rude and called me a old hag and my husband a terrorist. I couldn't of been more appalled, i waited 35 minutes for one sausage roll and could smell all the staff sharing a joint out the back. my soon to be husband (jokingly) said he would give a 1 star review and the employee said of course you would you terrorist (he is a Indian Muslim)

Warm welcome when we came in but had to order at the counter before even viewing our table and no offer to take order from the table. Tearoom is at the back down a view steps- table next to us was full of dirty crockery and the floor was covered in crumbs- not sure why when 3 members of staff were at the counter and it wasn’t that busy- defo room for improvement to swiftly clear tables. Very bland decor - would look so much more inviting with a pop of colour on the wall or cushions. Felt dated compared to the front of the shop. Coffee was very good and toastie fillings lacked generosity nevertheless they tasted good. No cream for the scones- but butter and Jam was an ok alternative. My son rated the sausage roll very good too!
