    What a super country pub! We met as a party of 7 for Sunday lunch, having booked a week in advance with Jacky. We were able to use the disabled parking bay for my infirm cousin and wheelchair access to the pub was possible via the street-facing entrance. Our table was prepared for us and we were seated and served drinks very quickly. The Sunday lunch menu is terrific. There's a selection of roasts for both large and small appetites as well as alternative food choices and vegetarian options. Several of us had the smaller roast lamb dish which was ample. The lamb was extremely tasty and tender and the roast potatoes were crispy and delicious. The dish was also served with vegetables in season which were perfectly cooked and an individual Yorkshire pudding. A gravy boat, per diner, was provided to accompany the roast. The dessert of the day was also excellent. Home made blackberry and apple crumble served, piping hot, in a large ramekin with a side serving of custard. Service was excellent too, attentive and caring without being pushy. Jacky was in evidence throughout the lunchtime, serving and clearing as well as supervising the staff. It was a very special experience and we four old cousins will most definitely return to this super traditional pub. 5 stars for sure.

    The food was very tasty, the staff are very helpful and friendly and the atmosphere inside was very comfortable. There is a garden area you sit in, but it was far to hot on the day.

    Lovely and friendly staff and amazing roast! Decor is super cool too :)

  • 5/5 Lynn H. 11 months ago on Google
    A lovely pub/restaurant. Always a friendly welcome, and the food is delicious. The “over-55’s”menu is astonishing value for a main, pud and hot drink. Highly recommend the steak pie or mushroom tagliatelle when they feature, plus any pud!! A regular lunchtime haunt. Recommend booking.

    Good food and beer. Good humoured banter with the bar staff.

  • 5/5 daniel k. 1 year ago on Google
    What a great village and community pub. You know, like pubs used to be 25 years ago. Very friendly locals and staff alike. Would highly recommend 👌

  • 4/5 Glynn B. 1 year ago on Google
    Good food, friendly staff. I'm offering a miserable four star rating only because I'd hoped for better cider!!

  • 5/5 ND 1 year ago on Google
    Good beer, friendly staff. First time for us after moving to the area, looking forward to returning for a Sunday lunch as we’ve heard good things!

  • 5/5 Wizzy L. 2 years ago on Google
    Consistently friendly and welcoming pub. We stop by when we are in the area for work so not always in our best but the owners greet us and our two lurchers like old friends. Very happy to have well behaved dogs visiting, in fact our very nervous new rescue owes a lot of her rehab to this pub! The food is wholesome, well presented and reasonably priced . Good garden for families and plenty of parking. Toilets are spotless. No sticky tables. Good selection of beers and well kept pumps.

  • 5/5 Terry D. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent, and reasonably priced meal. And to boot, a family run pub with friendly staff.

  • 5/5 Jon G. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a lovely family meal here after a walk in nearby Lullingstone Country Park. Really friendly staff, good quality Sunday roast and good local ale.

  • 5/5 Christopher P. 1 year ago on Google
    Held our mum’s wake at this pub for 40 people. Excellent spread of food with tea and coffee also provided. Staff were efficient and friendly - would thoroughly recommend.
