Brilliant beer, well kept, out of the way - good parking, great food, what more could you ask for? Kent pub at its finest... It's not a gastro-pub, not meant to be, doesn't need to be, sometimes you just want a pin to be a pub!!
A beautiful roast enjoyed there. Fitted us in, late Sunday afternoon. Nothing was to much and staff were very accommodating ! Defo be going back.
Absolutely gorgeous place. Fantastic facilities. So friendly, the food in the pub is outstanding.
The landlord and lady, are so helpful and so friendly.
Really great place
Good efforts being made by the staff here to provide a service in these difficult times. Table service in the garden was very good. This is a pleasant quiet spot for a drink in the garden. Nice countryside setting.
