    Been back to the Bo-Peep a couple of times in the last two months and had two great meals (Pub Grub) and can strongly recommend the pies (Massive) and suit meat puddings. A fairly limited menu at the moment but shows its fresh and tastes so as well. Lovely ale, the "Bo-Peep" ale being my favorite of the current selection of three. Doombar and a local ale being the other two. A friendly pub with a joyful Landlady who has a knack of doing everything but still has time for a chat. Made to feel very welcome. Thank you.

    We visited the pub about a week ago on a recommendation and sadly I wish we hadn't listened. I am quite surprised how this pub gets such incredible reviews as the experience was quite bad. Both our pints of beer had sediment in them (which absolutely should not be the case with a cask of bright beer) and the food was really average. The strangest thing for us was the childrens' menu - specifically, that they don't have one. Instead, they claim that they "can make an adult meal in to a child's". This absolutely was not the case. A plain burger with some tomato sauce for £11 is not a child's meal...and the burger was very poor quality. I really hope everyone else has a great experience here and that they actually start doing a real children's menu, as the building itself is really lovely. A great piece of history for sure.

    Great lovely pub with friendly service, tasty food and huge car park. Great outdoor seating for nice weather. They do bbq in summer as well. If you are in the area definetely worth visiting.

    This is a great pub, the food was fantastic, I had the baked brie to start followed by an amazing suet pudding washed down with a few local pale ales. Demi is a great host and made me feel very welcome. Can't wait to return with the Mrs.

    very lovely country style pub cottage, low ceilings. Very comfy inside very friendly staff overall good family experience. The food is of a good quality presented very well good menu, selection and alcoholic beverages as well as soft drinks. They also do hot drinks they do a fairly nice hot chocolate, Has a nice outdoor area. A decent size car park small play area for children with a small Wendy house. With this pub being in a cottage, you do get the very Kent countryside feel to it

    Made to feel very welcome at the very outset. Booked ahead for overnight parking in motor home. Food was outstanding, Proper pie, Chicken and asparagus, with seasonal locally sourced vegetables. Cannot recommend enough. Did I mention reasonable prices. Will definitely be back, thanks for looking after us.👌

    It was my mothers 80th birthday and I arranged for afternoon for ten people and I must say it was really beautiful everyone said how lovely the food was the scones were freshly baked and to die for. Kate the manager was brilliant she really made the afternoon magical and a day to remember. Thank you to you and all the staff. I would highly recommend the boo peep if you’re looking for a local pub in the country that serves amazing food and friendly staff.

    Lovely pub, very welcoming staff and great meals previously. However. Sunday lunch was sadly decidedly average! Curled up slices of roast beef, poorly cooked roasties and what looked like Aunt Bessie’s Yorkshire puddings. Only got two stars instead of one because of the lovely staff!

    Lovely ambiance Pleasant gardens .Friendly staff Good ales Regrettably quality problem with The "Chicken & Bacon Pie" Served covered in some thick brown gravy, consistency more like blancmange. Poor quality broccoli (Yellow) Potatoes peas & carrots fine. On cutting the Chicken pie ,a gloopy sauce oozed out, looked like frog spawn .Unable to find any bacon .in the filling .The filling had a very powerful spice flavour ,which subsequently led me to suffer affects to digestion for subsequent 2 hrs. On receiving the bill, I noted 10% service charge added. Usual in restaurants ,not pubs in this area. The pub was not busy on a Tuesday for lunch ,but from ordering to service an hr. A long time for a brought in pie. However, I noted advertisements for Summer staff ,so that was probably the reason, for the time delay. The staff were very friendly & efficient I suspect Management need to participate more in busy trading times .

    Arrived on our bicycles and we were greeted as soon as we found a table on the patio. Drinks were delivered very quickly and food arrived hot and delicious. Friendly service and worth a visit.

    Was recommended by Sarah from the Crown pub in Shoreham because her chef had finished. Well, it didn't disappoint. Staff brilliant & food was lovely. Worth a visit if you're driving passed on the way to Castle Hill Farm? Easy parking, too!!!

    Just returned from Bopeep after stumbling on it after a day out at Polihill Garden Centre. They were extremely welcoming and accommodating considering we were a party of 8 young children and 4 adults. It has such a lovely atmosphere and the staff were so warm. They even gave the children a free ice-cream for being well behaved. The food was really good too. Would recommend the Steak and Ale Suet Pie with creamy mash. Excellent! Would definitely recommend this place if you’re passing in the area.

    Demanding a service charge (Tip) is becoming a new method seemingly to raise profits, having been requested a few times recently for such when ordering food and expecting to pay before the food has been delivered..it seems almost a blackmail to ensure good service..the whole point of a tip is to thank the supplier for the service etc..not as seems now to bolster profits..if you have cash flow problems try putting the prices up. In this instance we were asked after we ate when the card machine was offered by the manageress.. the sandwiches were sandwiches nothing more spectacular and the service was slow. Nil points = derisory tip for the affront

I x Large White Wine, 2 x Ale's, 1 x Coffee Bill was £95 Well worth visiting and would be surprised if you were disappointed! We had a wonderful time there. 11th October 2023 (Wednesday) Time of visit was approximately 2pm Sent our compliments to the Chef via staff

    We thought we'd try a nice country pub for Sunday lunch and came across this place on route. At first glance, it looked great, but that was until we tried the food. It took ages for the food to arrive and when asked why we were told the saled had run out and they were awaiting a fresh delivery 😑 not sure why we wasn't told this, we would have changed our choice knowing we would have to wait. However, when we did eventually get our order, it was expensive and not worth the wait, unfortunately. It could have been so much better. it's a shame.

    Absolutely wonderful lunch today. I had asparagus, pancetta salad to start followed by roast pork dinner and every single mouthful was delicious. The roast potatoes were fabulous. My daughter had pate followed by sausage and mash and again everything was excellent. Definitely would recommend. Lovely atmosphere and very friendly staff. We will definitely be back.

    god knows what the review is about by "i witfit" maybe you looked dodgy thats why they asked you to pay when ordering. lol BEEN YEARS SINCE WE FOUND A PUB LIKE THIS we was in the garden and before we even sat down we was greeted by the owner and she asked if she could help .we sat and asked whst we wanted to drink and then returned as quick as with our drinks .from that moment on yhe service was just enough, not to much and not to little, "perfect" the staff are a credit to the owner . we ordered food and again absolutely great and good size .happy to say mostly seemed made on site or local .nothing unnecessarily from frozen. our bill did not have 10% added but i was so happy i added 20% to my bill

    cute cosy pub we found today after our day out at Polihill Garden Centre, following our trip to see Santa. As soon as we walked in we felt so welcome, they was so accommodating with our food orders and happy to make changes. Food came quick, children’s food came first, love they sorted the kids food before the adults. (Helps us so much) we were a large group of 8 young children & 5 adults. Such a lovely place food was great, highly recommend the Steak and Ale Suet Pie with creamy mash ! It was so good!! The kids enjoyed the day and was even given a free ice-cream was a nice surprise and the kids was so excited. Worth a visit if your in the area - also has plenty of parking in the car park

    1 lady was really good and her service was warming. I felt the younger staff felt like they didn't want to be there and it showed. Needs to be more child friendly.

  • 5/5 Mark G. 1 year ago on Google
    Popped in for a quick pint. Turned into two. Well kept beer. Choice of two real Ales. Did not eat but menu was good and plenty of people dining.

    Had a funeral wake here on Monday. There were 30+ of us. The buffet food was excellent and cooked on site which is rare and there was plenty of it. They just kept bringing out more and more. The staff were totally amazing and couldn't have been more helpful. Thank you as It turned a sad day into a really nice send off for her! 10/10 and will be using this pub more often.

    We've been using this pub for 20years on and off, we have a son now 14 he loves it, food is exceptional, perfect menu, perfect portions, staff always friendly and polite, landlady is wonderful. Plenty of seating especially outside in the summer. Such a lovely country, elegant, pub / restaurant. Oh and prices are very very reasonable. Good luck finding better. The Thompson's. Badgers Mount.

    Really lovely Sunday Roast with the family here today. Cosy restaurant, tasty food and the service from the Manager was brilliant! Will definitely be returning!

    We had Afternoon Tea for four people. Excellent value for money! The table looked superb, the food was fresh and delicious (It just kept coming!). The restuarant clean and bright. The service was a perfect balance of being attentive but not intrusive. Friendly, welcoming and pleasant staff too. A huge thank you to Kate and her team. We would highly recommend a visit.

    A true gem set in beautiful Kent countryside and very easy to get to. We have been here many times and never been disappointed. Really good selection of food, well presented and in generous portions (the steak suet pudding is delicious). The landlady truly knows excellent hospitality; you're looked after but never rushed. Cheese and biscuits were not on the menu, but it was no trouble at all to rustle us some up! The pub is beautiful inside, with low beamed ceilings (mind your head!), plenty of nooks and crannies to relax and enjoy your meal, and a huge open fire that'll be lovely in the winter. Can't recommend this place enough. We will return again and again. Thank you Bo Peep.

    A proper pub. Everything is simple but done extremely well. Food menu is all old pub classics but you can tell its all made in house with passion and care.
