The best restaurants serving Default 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.

Absolutely lovely, can't fault anything, service, food and atmosphere all great

Fantastic venue, welcoming friendly staff and great regular live music. New extension added as well for bigger events

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.

Everything was AMAZING . Staff were very attentive and quick with service. Food was delicious. The added enjoyment was watching the sheep and Baby lambs ... incredibly Cute 🐑

Extremely pleasant Sunday carvery

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!

Really good service and the best roast I've had in a long time. Left there barely able to move, feeling well and truly stuffed!

Lovely friendly little family pub also dog friendly. Plenty space for children to run around outside. They have a little crazy golf, football and goals for kids playing football with a small climbing frame. They had 3 singers over 3 Easter days with Easter Egg hunts for children. Very friendly landlord.

Sadly this is the 3rd time I've tried to book a table using their telephone answering machine. When we have popped in there before we have been told it's best to book as there is never any seating available. But yet again they say they heard some of the messages and some of the phone number and even said they heard the time..... which they got wrong even though they knew who we were before we had even spoken to them when we arrived at the time we asked for. They had obviously got a party booked in as they could only serve coffee and cake! Why???? Surely if you know you have a party get more staff in so you can carry on as normal for the rest of the people. As no table had been saved for the time we had booked we ended up going just a bit further to sellingde which is only a very small coffee shop, but they were able to accommodate us without booking and we had a fantastic meal for half the price it is at Barbara-Anns!!! It's amazing how some people can help with a smile while others (the poor overworked staff at Barbara-Anns) are stressed harassed and and frankly frustrated with the way the place is run. Not their fault at all this is down to bad management!!!!

What a wonderful place to chill out and enjoy the drink of your choice, either inside or outside on comfortable seating, very nice polite staff always helpful, don’t miss this little gem.

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.
