Wonderful food beautifully presented. Service also first rate, could not fault it. The building itself oozes history, all features maintained. Nice to see wood burning stove in use. No hesitation in recommending.
A lovely drinking hole for a dog walk. Service was grand, and the drink was on point. Lovely large garden to sit out in the sun, with plenty of dog drinking bowls provided.
Wow! The best Sunday roast dinner we have had to date. We were lucky to have the private dining room for a table for 8 persons. The food was exceptional, staff were great. What a find. 10/10 by far!
A wonderful experience
Not surprised this place features in Kent's top 100 best dining experiences. We booked for 6pm and were sincerely greeted and shown to our table. Opted for the 7 course tasting menu and were delighted with the experience. From the complimentary bread to the venison through to the cheese board; the plates were skilfully created with love and attention to detail. Whilst a dark chocolate dessert wouldn't sit as my first choice, it featured exciting flavours - especially the coffee ice cream.
The staff were fantastic and 'wanted' to be there working. Young Patrick was professional, explaining what was served in a clear and formal voice - seldom found with younger staff. Sensible pauses between courses and appropriate checks to ensure all was to our satisfaction.
Lovely touches like not lumping on an 'optional service charge' (unless on group sittings which is fair) and bringing over a jug of water for the meal. A great selection of drinks and open fires.
Considering a visit? Go. You won't regret it. Dalton, Paolo and the staff have created a very special place x

Beautiful old pub with a fantastic tasting menu- the food was really outstanding. Lovely atmosphere too. A really enjoyable experience
Fabulous food. Friendly attentive service. The quality of ever aspect of the meal was perfect. Will definitely be back
Not surprised by the other amazing reviews. Exceptionally delicious 'fine dining' Sunday lunch from starter through to dessert - following an amazing walk in the surrounding area. Would highly recommend.
Beautiful pub. The food is absolutely outstanding. Such a beautiful and neatly kept pub. Thanks so much Dalton and Co!
Beautiful country pub. Had lunch the service and food was exceptional. Cannot rate high enough will definitely be going back.
Fantastic experience for A to Z. The restaurant is located inside an old pub quite far off the beaten track. We received a warm welcome by the owner/staff, with good humour and lots of love for our dog :)
The lunch menu already looked promising and it was to absolutely live up to the expectations. Starters and main were not only freshly prepared from fine local produce but also lovely decorated. The tastes are phenomenal and you really get a great value for your money.
That said, I found the meals fairly priced, considering that regular pub food is not cheap either - and there really is no comparison between the two.
If I lived in the area, this would be a regular place to have an excellent lunch or dinner. Best make a reservation...
