please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.

Comfortable pub isolated on the edge of Romney Marsh. Dark Star Hophead was in tip-top condition and served at exactly the right temperature. Cheese and ham omelette - with real ham - was cooked to perfection. Cheerful staff. Recommended.

Four real ales were available including a lovely refreshing golden ale from Sambrooks straight from the barrel. The menu consists of classic British dishes and I had the lamb hot pot followed by the Bread & Butter pudding at a cost of £15. The portions were large and the food was delicious which may explain why the pub was doing a god trade on a Tuesday evening. Staff were pleasant. The pub's in the middle of nowhere and is recommended.

Visited in April 2010, pleasant pub, crowded even though it's seemingly in the middle of nowhere. Went for a meal on a Friday night, but couldn't eat as they were fully booked. Undaunted we booked for the following night and it was worth the wait. Excellent food reasonably priced. Will definitely revisit when next in the area.

great food, great beer and a wonderful family environment to take my friends and relatives to for a wholesome freshly cooked dining experience.

cosy and well worth the visit with good value for money too.

will be back again soon

Brilliant position beside one of Romney Marsh's many waterways and great views across the fields and expansive Romney Marsh skies from it's small but tidy beer garden. Take a minute to stand on the bridge to look along the waterway, towards the hills (previously the old shoreline) ... a classic Marsh viewpoint. Thoughtfully provided cycle racks beside the beer garden allow cyclists to leave their bikes safely.

Good ales and Old Rosie Cider on draught, with decent wine list.

If you're after a loud night out with a jukebox, this isn't the place for you. The emphasis is definitely on food, and very good quality food. The standard bar menu is fine, and the basics such as lasagne and fish and chips are all there, and very good quality. A daily specials board features fish of the day, locally caught, and changes reguarly.

The Inn acknowledges that you can sometimes wait a while for food, and the service does often appear a little on the slow side. Don't come here if you want a quick in-and-out meal! The food is freshly prepared and well worth waiting for. This is the difference between the frozen rubbish that gets heated up in other establishments.

The staff are polite, friendly and welcoming, reinforced by owners, Mandy and David, who regularly come around the diners giving the place a personal edge that keeps us coming back time and time again.

Best in the area by a long way.

Beer good, and good selection.

However the place is seriously let down by the food - arty-farty bits of noveau cuisine. A fiver buys one mouthful. Literally. Two bits of black pudding with some mashedpotato in between (called a stirlingshire stack or somthing like that) - over a fiver and it went in one mouthful. Extortionate !!! If they are going to charge permouthful rather than perplateful theyt should say before the food is served.
