A lovely pub in a good location in tenterden. Lovely large (and sunny beer garden)
Nice kids menu, we did forget to ask for the kids food to be served with the starters. Would have been nice to have been reminded (or asked), but that doesn't loose any points, it had just been a long day and exceptional service usually trains staff to ask if kids meals are to be served as soon as/first
Four stars as my reviews are based on gluten and dairy free dining.
There was one safe option which was lovely however if you are gluten and dairy free this bowl is your only option (a single visit would be fine but on a more frequent basis it would definitely be upsetting)
My previous visit, 6-8 months previous, the menu was different and I ordered a different dish (can't remember, might have been a vegan burger with no bun) the kitchen did make an effort to provide roast potatoes (no dedicated gluten free fryer for chips)
From a service point of view and knowing you are eating safely, it's 5 stars - from a variety/choice point of view, the star was lost here, but not sure what the demand in tenterden for a gluten AND dairy free diet is particularly high.
Standard dining seems to be of a good standard. Kids menu was well priced and as expected. The Sunday roasts are apparently extremely popular!
gluten free beer - bottled peroni, however they were out on our last visit.
We visited today, the place was beautiful, busy, welcoming, and dog friendly, I said my name, and the landlord remembered our email communications literally word for word!
The team there are worth their weight in gold.
The food was excellent, so delicious 10/10, my dog was offered his own plate, given a treat and given his own water bowl.
We can't wait to visit there again, the prices are well worth it. The food portions were very ample.
KEEP DOING WHAT YOU'RE DOING ITS FANTASTIC.

As always, we were in the local area and so looked out somewhere for Sunday lunch; decided on The Vine Inn as it looked good in the pics and had good reviews.
It's a lot bigger than it looks from outside, is very well done on the inside and there were a lot of staff who were all very attentive. We all had a roast and they were all great. The beef was well cooked and plenty of it, our junior diner had turkey which again was a decent size plate for a 7 year old. Even the Yorkshire puds were puffed up and crispy! We did order an extra portion of 'seasonal veg' which was okay but pretty sure mange tout are only seasonal in Africa this time of year!
The roasts were a touch on the expensive side, £19 for beef, £17 for turkey, but we're okay with that when the quality and taste make it worth it, which it did on this occasion. Add in the very good staffing levels who were all very welcoming and it made for a great visit.
We'd definitely recommend for a great Sunday lunch and if we were in the area again, be a difficult choice to go elsewhere!
