The best restaurants in Watling Swale South East

Their mixed salad/pickles bento box (available at Macknade) is a tasty and healthy delight!

Thought this place was going to close, but it didn’t. As good as our last visit a while ago. Food from the garden and an excellent team means another visit in the near future. A nice oasis. ****Unfortunately now closed. Owners have retired.

Best fish and chips in the area

Loved it. .Fabulous navel history on walls . Excellent ale selection..

The only good thing are the staff, they were lovely. The food on the other has really deteriorated unfortunately. Very sad indeed, it was once lovely place to go to.

Stayed for 1 night (NYE), felt welcomed by all staff from Cleaners to Managers, clearly a good team working here, all spoke good clear English, all were friendly and helpful, all staff greeted you when passing. Breakfast was lovely. Overall, Excellent all round. Only minor niggle was the mini-bar cupboard door hanging from one hinge (226).

Food is lovely and the staff so friendly. Belly pork ends are one of my favorites a d the ribs are amazing. You can taste the smokey flavour all through the meat not just in the sauce. Varied selection of cask ales and some nice Brixton beers. Sunday roasts are great and huge! Staff always go that extra mile to make you feel part of the family, dog and child friendly.

Fab service, server faith was very helpful, polite and provided brilliant customer service. First class service.

Avoid. This Macknades open air outlet is a disgrace to a fine company. No indication on the menu that the baguettes were sourdough, and the bread was as tough as old boots - unchewable, and uncuttable with the wooden knives provided. Fillings were mean, and the ham no better than a supermarket’s. When we complained, our server offered to get them remade using pizza dough, which l hate, so we refused and asked for a refund. At first, offered a 50% refund “as we had eaten the filling” (in fact, the only edible component). It took a great deal of assertiveness, tenacity, and appeals to the manager that we eventually got a full refund. A really badly trained staff member. This experience is no reflection on the quality of the company’s great produce in general.
