The best restaurants in Weald Central Ashford South East

The food was reasonably priced, and vegan. The service was quick. The victoria sponge and meringue tasted like the real thing. It was SO lovely having hens wandering around our feet.

Went here yesterday for dinner. Nice atmosphere and cosy pub. Guy behind the bar was friendly and made me feel welcome. I had the chicken and it was very tasty, comliments to the chef 😁. Service was good, no waiting for ages for food, would go again if I'm down this way.

Nice drink options. Cake options look okay. Not that impressed with the prawn sandwich made with frozen prawns that were a bit rubbery and had little taste for £8.25! A fairly nice eating area, clean and tidy but basically built in a shed. Staff happy and polite and quick to serve.

Had the best roast dinner here today great quality and plenty of it highly recommended staff very friendly too

Nice garden to stop and have a drink and a packet of crisps. Pub seems popular for food with a good menu and lots of choice, but we've got an annoying dog who won't sit still long enough for us to have a proper meal.

We had a fantastic Sunday roast here today and really enjoyed our visit! The calamari starter was delicious, the lamb shank for the main was cooked to perfection, and the strawberry cheesecake was the perfect way to finish the meal—all absolutely excellent. The staff were so friendly and helpful, and our waitress, Carolyn, was brilliant. We also had a lovely chat with the owners, Andy and Sammy, who shared some great stories about the pub’s history. We’ll definitely be back and will be recommending it to our friends too!

Had a very enjoyable lunch last Sunday. Service was attentive and friendly. Food was well cooked and seasoned. Yorkshire puddings were really excellent. Venue has large parking space and level pathways to interior. [If you have mobility issues use the left hand side carpark at the end of the drive] In all excellent value.

Such a great place for either lunch or dinner, very friendly staff.

Lovely friendly place with super staff

We had a wonderful dinner at The Swan. A very warm welcome for us and our two dogs. The menu was concise and interesting with a selection of scallop dishes for the daily specials. We chose from the ‘burger bar’ menu and really enjoyed the perfectly cooked food, it tasted delicious! I especially enjoyed my mushroom and feta burger with a spiced tomato mayo. A good selection of wines too, including some locally produced drinks. We’d highly recommend a visit and we hope to visit again!

Made a large order for collection for our family get together on Mother’s Day, portions were a little on the small side however the food was very tasty, until one of us found a disgusting small dark hair in our meal, this spoilt the entire meal for everyone and we were all put off of our food. We phoned the restaurant to explain this, they were unapologetic and said “well it was only in one meal” they would refund only that. Obviously this was unacceptable as our whole family meal was ruined. We spent £88.50 and all felt sick and couldn’t finish our meals and the restaurant seemed to think this is acceptable and were quiet rude.

The food here is terrible, the chips were clearly leftover from lunch and reheated. The fish batter was soggy and tatsed horribly. The only thing that was okay was the mozerlla sticks. It was a complete waste of money, as most of it got thrown away.

Lovely pub. Amazing food both for Dinner and breakfast and great service. The land lady was lovely

It’s a real shame, we’ve been coming here for years and it has always been brilliant, however today we came in for Sunday lunch, the staff were brilliant, very welcoming and kind, the young man and young lady were lovely, the food though was a problem, the meat was very good, but all the veg was undercooked , cabbage was hard, and in the purée I still had hard pieces of veg? We asked for more gravey and more sauce and they were accommodating. Then we ordered dessert we for an apple crumble and some ice cream, thaw seemed to both be served in vegetable dishes? Not bowls, the apple was so hard , it tasted like it came out of a can! We didn’t finish this one. All in all the staff were kind, but the food was really not good, unfortunately we won’t be going back.

Lovely ambience to this pub. Very tastefully lit and decorated without tacky fruit machines or music. I think this establishment caters more for the serious diner than for passing trade. The food was very good and if you enjoy fish then this menu is for you. I had the smoked mackerel in cheese starter and a sea bass main in an incredable rich fish sauce - very tasty. My wife had the Sardines and rosemary butter starter, the confit of duck with bubble and squeak with a lemon posset sweet. We found the prices very reasonable for the quality of food and the good service. Certainly look forward to booking again.
