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

Great traditional no frills pub. Superb beer always available

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.

Great value for money, good location, clean, everything you need for a few days and friendly staff.

Nice staff lumpy price tag tad London Town prices……go if passing but make sure you’ve stopped at the bank first ! Solid 6/10

Booked a table online, which was the bar area. Wasn’t told to that we need to order at the bar for food so sat there for 40 minutes would have been nice to be told. Then once we ordered was told another 30 minutes wait was expected,. Once we paid at the bar my dad paid and completely forgot that we had a 30% off mains, so went up and mentioned the to the tall skinny guy behind the bar as was told basically tuff, as you didn’t state this at time of purchase, which in my opinion is a disgrace. After paying waiting 30 minutes for started then sat there for 40 minutes with our starter plates still on the table, not happy and this place I would not go back to again, as the service and the attitude of the staff, was easily 1 out of 10 don’t recommend going here with kids as my kids have now been up an hour later than their bedtime, cos of crap 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.
