The Yew Tree Inn Chalvington

Really lovely pub with live music, a marquee, loads of outdoor seating and a decent sized play area for kids. Ample parking too! We had vegan chilli nachos (I asked them to add cheese) which were brilliant. Thought it a bit odd that nachos were served with rice and would have preferred just tortilla chips, chilli and the toppings but it was a really good portion and very nice. My only negative is that the pub itself was shut and it was a bit cold when we visited but we had little ones with us and they couldn't stand the loudness of the music in the marquee so we decided to leave early.

Firstly I always start with three stars and add if anything is outstanding or conversely, reduce for bad points. Setting. Its on the Winters edge so the grounds are a bit muddy, the marquee is closed and its all a little sad looking. Nonetheless, the interior was warm and although not covid friendly, theres was ample if not comfortable seating. Staff were hit and miss. Some smiling, some not. If the food had been piping hot i would have added a star but it was lukewarm. Saying that, i did not hear one complaint about the quality and i have to agree. I would definitely return but not with a group.

Cosy little pub located in the middle of nowhere in the countryside. Nice to get away from the hustle and bustle of the towns. Good choice of food and portions are really good. Prices are also really reasonable. Only criticisms are we were a little cold eating in the conservatory. There didn't appear to be any heating on in there and it was incredibly cold outside with thick fog. There were also a lot of cobwebs in the conservatory which kind of puts you off eating when you question the cleanliness.
