The best restaurants serving British food in Saxon Shore Ashford South East

The bistro was shut for a while, now they are back and it is worth coming to pay a visit.

Not only the best micro pub in Ashford, the best pub full stop. Good beers & great live music! Friendly and helpful staff!

What a great shop. We went because the powers that be closed our local Dymchurch butchers shop and we wanted to see what Aldington had to offer. We weren't disappointed. Friendly staff and so well stocked up with meat as well as ready to cook meals, kebabs, cheese, wine, gravies. The pork stakes are really thick and the lamb steaks where a good size and had the bone taken out - bonus. Forgot to ask about the fish, didn't see any though. We'll go back or put an order in by phone as they deliver if it's more than £25. The guy serving us also lives in The Bay and gave us more direct directions back but we must have taken a wrong turn. It was a nice day so it didn't really matter.

This is a lovely country pub and the staff were very friendly. We originally planned to visit to have a ploughman’s lunch for my wife’s birthday as stated on their website menu. When I went to order I was told that they don’t do ploughman’s (it wasn’t listed on their paper menu). We were disappointed but ordered some sandwiches instead. The sandwiches were delicious and sitting in the beer garden on a sunny Saturday afternoon was lovely. So until the website menu is updated, be aware that ploughman’s lunch isn’t an option at the bowl inn.

Visited today for the first time, Didnt wait long at all for the food to be served. The chicken and avocado wrap was very tasty, my partner ordered the big breakfast and said the fried slice was cooked to perfection very tasty! Highly recommend, defo visiting again!

Stopped in for a quick rest during our walk, lovely lady greeted us at the bar. Beautiful spacious garden and Cracker the dog made our visit even better ☺️☀️

Had to leave a review as the roast pork Sunday lunch was just SO good. Have eaten many such meals at countless establishments in my time and have learned to be quite fussy - but the food here really does rank among the very best. Perfectly cooked meat and tasty vegetables with the cauliflower cheese especially good. Calamari starter with the lime and chilli sauce was beautiful too. All very reasonably priced and served up with a smile. Deserve to be very proud of The Blue Anchor, would def return. Thank you

Me and my two sisters had a lovely lunch here. The food was exquisite with generous portion sizes and gorgeous views. The service was attentive and the ambience in the pub quaint and homely with a roaring fire (which was needed that day in chilly early May). Comfortable seating and great music. I would highly recommend this place and we will return some day soon.
