The best restaurants serving British food in Ashford South East

Came in for a drink and the place is so big and beautiful! Really good place to have a few drinks !

Good old fashion cafe with decent prices and good food. Clientele looks abit beaten up tho

Busy pub but had space for a large group with kids and dogs. Sat in the bar area.

Beautiful buildings and setting - delicious food

Perfect Sunday lunch. Visited before in the Summer & vowed to come back. Glad we did. Great food, lots of veg, friendly staff & good value for money.

We were staying at the hotel.. and decided to give the restaurant a go..

We were a party of 4. 2 beers, cappuccino and a tea. All good up till now. I asked for a replacement cup for my tea, he asked why. It was because it was stained. My assistants face changed instantly, so did his attitude. He replaced the cup by plonking it down on the table. Our drinks arrived but no milk. My husband went to ask for some and was quizzed as to where we were sitting. All that was a bit disappointing for our first visit. I have to say the food was excellent.

Lovely friendly place with super staff

Gone downhill I feel. Music blasting so loud couldn’t even talk as a family at the table. Food isn’t what it was on last visit. Prices have increased, as has most food, but quality is declining. Service is also a bit hap hazard with wrong items brought over. Even staff couldn’t hear to take order as music was so loud. Ruined it really. Table next to us also had had enough as they were directly under a speak on the wall.

We had a wonderful dinner at The Swan. A very warm welcome for us and our two dogs. The menu was concise and interesting with a selection of scallop dishes for the daily specials. We chose from the ‘burger bar’ menu and really enjoyed the perfectly cooked food, it tasted delicious! I especially enjoyed my mushroom and feta burger with a spiced tomato mayo. A good selection of wines too, including some locally produced drinks. We’d highly recommend a visit and we hope to visit again!

Small and friendly but too many tv screens. Great barmaid.

Really great food and excellent service. Highly recommend a visit. We will definitely be returning for another visit.

Had a lovely set lunch with paired wines. Food expertly cooked, tasty and interesting. All staff efficient and friendly.

Disappointing Experience – Poor Customer Service Visited Curious Brewery expecting a great experience, but unfortunately, it was a letdown. The beer-making machine had broken down that morning, yet we were only informed after paying for our tickets. This should have been communicated beforehand so we could make an informed decision. Instead, they were happy to take our money without mentioning it. To make matters worse, when I raised a complaint, the manager was extremely rude—simply saying, “I can’t do anything about it” and walking away. No apology, no attempt to make things right. Very dishonest and unprofessional behavior from both the staff and management. Would not recommend.

Lovely venue! I attended as a guest for a small medical talk and had a wonderful experience. I started with the mackerel, followed by haddock as the main course—both dishes were absolutely delicious. The service was impeccable, with attentive and friendly staff making the visit even more enjoyable. The atmosphere is warm and cozy, perfect for gatherings or casual dining. Parking can be a bit limited but should be manageable on most days. Recommend this place for its good food, great service, and welcoming ambiance!
