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

Lovely pub, shame it is in Kent!

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.

Very well looked after hotel, stayed for the weekend to see family. Staff very helpful and kind, rooms very clean. Breakfast was lovely. Only bad thing I have to say is I wish I had an extra night in the comfy bed.

Had a great family dinner for 18 people. The service and planning were excellent, every request was meant 👌 we order birthday cakes, these were hand made to delicious. We were given our own space in the pub and the staff were so attentive. 👌 we will be back, looking forward to seeing you all again!

The food was brilliant , and the staff were very friendly

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.
