Great food....time for new ovens? The wife and I went for a 1:30 Sunday lunch, it was busy and noisy, or you might say vibrant, depending on your point of view. The staff were attentive, the food was hot, well presented and tasty (if a little over seasoned) , the cost was mid-range. The downside on this occasion, was that I found a sizable chunk of metal and plastic in my food. Luckily I saw it before trying to eat it! Or it could have been an expensive and painful trip to the dentist or A&E. Accidents happen, we've eaten there before, and probably will eat there again, probably...maybe. Upon showing the waitress the intruding metalwork on the plate, she was nonchalantly apologetic and took the plate and offending article away to show her colleagues. She came back a minute later and said a colleague said it probably came from the oven. She offered free desserts as an apology. In hindsight, I think this was a disappointingly poor apology given what COULD have happened; but at the time we were so shocked we didn't really push-back. As their own staff think the lump of metal and plastic came from their oven, perhaps an inspector needs to pay the kitchen a visit to see if their equipment is fit for purpose!

Obviously a very popular venue. It was our first visit and what an excellent choice. The staff were both friendly and efficient. Our meal arrived promptly and was beautifully presented. We both chose a Sunday roast - lamb with freshly cooked roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding and lashings of fresh vegetables. Would recommend highly.

This place is great for lunch the food is always cooked well and there is a good variety on the menu and well priced. We had the burger and the chicken sizzler with noodles. Really tasty, will be going back again. We did book as it does get busy especially at the weekends, during the summer they have a big garden that you can sit out in. Lovely place worth a visit.

It’s surprising how good pub food can be. The RedStart exemplifies this. Walk inside and it looks like a standard looking sociable drinking space. Sit down, look at the specials board, you begin to realise there is something special about this place. Yes it does prepare the traditional British dishes. The RedStart goes one step further and throws in European dishes into the mix. When these dishes arrive they ooze quality. Presentation, piquant and professional. These were some of the best tasting dishes I have sampled at a pub in Kent. For 3 courses I had change from £30, unbelievable given the standard of food. European pub food at it’s best.

Parking on arrival was appropriate to Park our larger disabled vehicle. A disabled access ramp is available for wheelchair friendly access. The whole garden is wheelchair friendly which is always a welcome bonus. There is a children's play area in the corner so you can still enjoy a cold refreshing drink here if you have little ones to keep an eye on while they play. Inside this venue was clean and bright and friendly service with smiles so felt welcome as a first time person popping in to this public house. Staff were presentable in uniform and nothing seemed too much trouble. We enjoyed a few hours here although we didn't have a meal, we would certainly consider eating here on our next visit.

It's always a pleasure to drink & eat here. Food never disappoints. Whitebait delicious starter, prawn or steak sizzler hot plate a favourite. Great fish & and chips, too. Friendly staff. Would recommend 👌 Car park often fills up quickly

Came here for fathers day meal. The food and portion size was really good, and the staff were lovely. Only drop in stars is I would like to see better food for younger children perhaps. Although the play area is good for them.

Had a really lovely Sunday roast here last week. Even though we could not get a table until 3.30 everything was fresh and available. Great staff, they were really busy and people were still coming in after we left. I would recommend this pub very highly.

Pleasant servers and decent food which was reasonably priced. Nice punt of Harvey's best. A very quiet Monday lunch so atmosphere was lacking but am sure it would be better with more people around.

Lovely lunch with friends. Only had baguette, but tasty and reasonably priced all the same. Nice welcoming pub and restaurant with a cosy log fire. Large outdoor space. Would definitely go back for an evening meal. Not a massive parking area so could be problems parking on a busy day as located on a housing estate

Very nice place was very busy Christmas parties. Warm and friendly. Good food (we had full Christmas Dinner) . Would definitely go again.
