The best restaurants serving British food in Biddenden Ashford South East

I’ve been dining here for years now and I’m sad to say it’s lost its spark somewhat. At £100 per person I expect a bit more. Maybe it’s comparing to other restaurants like the Fordwich Arms and Hide and Fox, but The West House is now a couple of leagues below these I’m afraid. Most courses were fairly average and lacked flavour. The squid a bit rubbery, the pasta bland and the chicken dry. Red mullet quite nice. Best dish was without doubt the desert which was some kind of blood orange trifle with rhubarb compote which was delicious I have to say. Service was very good as always and timing great. Always very welcoming and polite, but sad to say the food was not what it used to be, maybe it’s due to a set menu nowadays to keep restaurant bills down. A real shame.

Sorry it has taken so long to review the best roast dinner in Biddenden! Such a friendly warm place for a family meal. Don't go there expecting glitz and glamour, this is a proper countryside restaurant, you will not be disappointed!

I came for a Sunday breakfast with my wife and child last month and had a very poor meal unfortunately. I had the breakfast sandwich, the bacon was tough no hint of being crisp with a layer of unrendered almost raw fat and mostly all barely warm. My kids had the pancakes and were expecting something light and fluffy but they resembled a stodgey scone with no real taste. My wife had a cold poached egg. I dislike leaving a negative review but we were all looking forward to breakfast and at £70 ish not cheap and not worth it. One thing - I had a nice coffee and good service - just very poor food.

Had a local society dinner here a couple of nights ago. In the run up to Christmas, such dinners can sometimes be a bit of a let down but not this one. The meal served by the friendly, helpful staff in very pleasant surroundings was very tasty and more than ample. My wife is Gluten Free but her diet did not cause any problem whatsoever. We will certainly return to try their Sunday Lunch, of which we have heard very good reports.

Went for breakfast, 8 of us including 2 children, 5 & 8yrs. Breakfast was very nice, unfortunately it took so long it was almost lunch time. I’d finished a coffee and a pot of tea before it arrived. They weren’t very busy but it took an hour for the food to arrive. The food was good but let down by the very slow service
