This is one of my favourite places for lunch. The pub is located on the outskirts of the village with ample parking. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The food is lovely and there is a varied menu to choose from at very reasonable prices.

We booked a table for ten for a birthday 🥳 meal. The service was great and the food was lovely and everything came out together. Could not have had a better experience!! Between us all, we had everything off the menu and everything was very tasty 😋

We felt very comfortable at the Lydden Bell. Our room had all the amenities you could wish for; even a towel dryer was not missing! The food was excellent and we were served courteously. We will definitely be back! Thank you very much!

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at the Lydden Bell. It had history and character yet very contemporary comfortable rooms. It had all we needed and more. As we had to leave very early a breakfast tray was provided for our room. We ate at the restaurant and the food was fabulous, would be good if they had more vegan options as vegan food was very limited.

Went for an evening meal. It's was excellent. The food was all very well prepared and tasty. The staff we're a well oiled machine, working very well together. Attentive when needed but not pushy. If we're ever back this way, I'm sure we'll be back.

We visited for the garden, wanted to sit outside with friends for a drink. It's garden area is lovely play area for children, and a covered sitting area also. Staff friendly, and the dinning area was busy all the time we were there. Apparently you need to book to eat.

Out of the blue, we decided to go and eat out this particular Sunday. My son found this bar/restaurant and made the reservations. We arrived at an already busy restaurant. Obviously popular with the locals. Wasn't aware it had accommodation, so it was full, almost to the brim. We received a warm welcome. Offered drinks, whilst we selected our menu choices. Fortunately, our table was near the fireplace, as this was the only spot to see the boards around the surround. We ordered our food, which was very well presented. Cooked to perfection. This is definitely a nice place for a family meal. Although I was a little disappointed with the skingy portion of lamb I was served. It went further downhill from there, as we had to wait almost half an hour to see the dessert menu. Once ordered, after waiting for them to be served. Well, the cooks must have been in a hurry. These items were definitely not up to scratch. My crumble was warm at best. Others were disappointed with what was described as cookie dough. I get it. They were busy. It was nearing the end of the shift. I felt sorry for the two waitresses that were trying to get around to everyone. But even after all that, we had to wait again for the check.

Stopped off for an evening meal and stayed the night. Very impressed with the friendly service and quality of food. The room too was really nice. Clean and well presented. Breakfast was included and that too was delicious. If you're visiting the area and want to experience a traditional English pub that is close to Dover and Canterbury, give the Lydden Bell a go.

An impromptu visit, but so pleased we did. Just down the road from the race track at Lydden Hill, is this little gem, which has staff of the highest quality, and food prepared fresh and quick. The young lady who served us was exceptional but sadly we are a 2 hour drive away or this would become my local for sure!! Well done Lydden Bell.

Stopped here for one night whilst visiting friends. The room was super modern, comfortable and clean. Under floor heating was very luxurious. The food and service at dinner and breakfast were fantastic. We'd recommend for a romantic break anytime but also saw a lovely family with a young child enjoying the place and people with dogs were made welcome too. Very reasonable pricing too.
