Fantastic venue for food. Staff all very helpful and polite. Food was fantastic, couldn't fault what we had at all. Service was very fast, though it was quiet when we went (a Monday lunch time). Would love to visit again on pizza night, as they have an open area for the chefs to prep and cook them in the pizza oven. Sufficient parking at both the front and rear of the restaurant.
We had a very pleasant meal at The Great House, this a modern pub with a welcoming atmosphere. Loved our Sunday roast, it was very tasty. The service was quick and efficient. The staff was very attentive as well.
Highly recommended.
Nice menu, good kids food (portions and range). Noisy pub atmosphere. Good for big groups. Posh decoration, poser types prevalent.
Really great experience for my husband's birthday lunch. Friendly and professional service. The best food and menu selection we've ever experienced at a pub and such a beautiful place too. It was a bit more expensive than we would normally spend but we were happy considering the quality and occasion. We hadn't been here before but so glad we did, we'll be back when we have another special occasion to celebrate. Thank you!
I had a nice mixed roast dinner last Sunday. Service was quick and the staff attentive and polite. Worth a visit. Nice country pub.
12/11/22- new Photos added often. The food seems to get better and better.
25/12/22- Pictures added from Christmas day lunch.. all the food was beautiful.. the staff were extremely attentive and kindly moved our table from right in the walkway, next to the bar, as there was alot of hustle and bustle there while we would of been eating.
The Fish and Chips was amazing! Everyone in our group was very happy with the food, service, and everything!
As British gastro pubs go, this is one of the best. I write this review on my second visit, which was as good as the first. Impeccable service. Delicious food. Generous portions. Convivial and friendly atmosphere. This is about as good as it gets when other portion sizes restaurants are cutting corners to counteract inflation, reducing portion sizes and stuffing you up with bread at the start of the meal. Vegetables were cooked to perfection (important to me as a vegetarian). You know the dessert is good when the chef hasn’t just compensated by adding masses of sugar. Fully merits the five stars given.
Had a great evening meal at The Great House. Food was delicious and service was exceptional. Shout out to Fraser, he is a credit to the pub.
One of our party said it was one the nicest steaks she’d had. Will be returning for sure.
Came here two years ago and remembered having a great meal so thought we'd give it another go. Me and my partner had the wood pigeon and pretzel to start and two roast platters (beef & lamb) for our mains. Everything was outstanding - the meat melted in your mouth. My partner runs a pub that does Sunday roasts too but says he is struggling to think of better roast meat than what we had today!
Our server, Fraser, needs a shout out aswell. He was really friendly and professional. 🌸
Four of us had lunch. We had requested as quiet a table as possible and the restaurant did their best to accommodate us
The food was well cooked and very tasty. Prices were fair
Finally we had excellent service from Gabriella and Fraser who were both friendly and professional
We would be happy to return
Beautiful food, great textures and flavours (highly recommend the watermelon & feta salad) and great service to boot.
Lovely gastro pub, nice decor, friendly staff in a country location. My only negative is the acoustics aren't great so it's one of those places that can feel very noisy inside when full. Lots of nice outdoor seating though.
On the real positive food was innovative and absolutely delicious, and there was a good wine list featuring some lovely local wines of which there are many options in the area.
Would definitely recommend.
4 of us popped in for a light lunch and it was packed (worth booking at weekends) 3 of us just had starters and a drink , soup was good I had the fishcake which was very tasty beer selection is good as is the wine list . Pizzas are also worth checking out.
Great food at a sensible price.
Super friendly and skillful staff. AND arguably the best pasta dish I've ever had! Try the king prawn linguine, it's so tasteful!
The food is next level tasty! We had the chicken kebab and pasta, perfectly seasoned, and every single ingredient in it, including the garnish was fresh and flavoursome. Our dog loved his dog deli dish. You guys deserve 10 stars not just 5 ❤️
Driving back from quick job in Maidstone wanted to take scenic route back home to Newhaven. Came across this pub on the main road and pulled in for a late lunch in very nice surroundings. Place not busy so had no problems in getting a table. My wife and I shared a starter of prawns and both had lamb rump with mash. It was lovely. Very good table service from the staff and we enjoyed the whole experience. Not cheap but you get what you pay for. Fully fueled up and satisfied we continued home. Lovely.
We were recommended to give The Great House a try by some friends and it didn't disappoint. We tried it for Sunday lunch and though they do the traditional Sunday Roast, we all decided to go for other things on the menu. Sea bass and prawns, Lamp Rump in a red wine jus. a steak etc.
We arrived about 10 mins late, but were treated with courtesy and ease when they were actually quite busy. Great service, great food and a great atmosphere. Thank you!
We have just eaten here for the first time. Food was amazing, and the service was brilliant. Staff were attentive and couldn't do enough for us. Highly recommend this jewel of a restaurant and cannot wait to eat here again.
