Well kept Shepherd Neame pub on the High street with a reputation for good food.
The landlord was very friendly and we had a good chat with him at the end of the evening. I would come back here either for a pint or the food. It's a place where you could go for a drink with your mates or take your mum for a nice lunch. Recommended.

decent enough Sheps local, Bishops Finger was very nice on my last visit, locals seemed friendly enough

Visited this pub over the weekend, took my mum and my family for a pub lunch. Very friendly staff and excellent food. Everything looked homemade and it was very good value as well. Didn't try any of the beers, will return soon to find out if they are good too.

Visited at the weekend. I did not have any beer to drink - but the wine was good. AND - luscious food! What really impressed were the lunch offerings. Starters were very nice - mushroom, and 'black pudding and bacon'. Scrumptious. Two main courses for �10. Home-made pies, delightful liver and bacon - and all with fresh veg that tasted as if it had been picked that morning!
Service throughout was exemplary.
Very much appreciated - thanks!
Note that they cook to order, so there is a bit of a wait [20 minutes, perhaps] between ordering and eating - whilst the food cooks, plainly. But the wait is 'soooo' worth it!
I have already recommended this pub to friends/colleagues for the food.
As I didn't sample the Shephed Neame beers, none of us did, it would be unfair to rate above an eight; the food is worth a good nine - but food is not the only thing in a pub, as many reading this will know.
If in Hythe - I will return!

We visited the pub with grandparents & children on Fathers day, to be honest, we were not expecting too much, what with it being fathers day. However, we had a superb lunch. Alll the meals were hot, tasty, well presented, arrived together and plentiful.
The staff were very accommodating regarding our childrens meals, and were happy to bring these out first. Our children are fussy eaters, but tucked in happily.
The beer (apparently) was good! And I can vouch for the wine being nice.
It was our 1st visit to Hythe and would definately visit the area to explore and stop off again at the Kings Head.

unfriendly. didnt appreciate the looks you receive from locals and staff alike when you walk in, as if, who the hell is this in our pub! and then to be treated like i was from another plant wasnt necessary. there is a life outside hythe, with people of all sorts of colours and sizes, you all must venture out.

Caroline and Robert are very outgoing and are succeeding in pulling in the punters ..Fine ales, good food, occasional music, traditional guests - Hoodeners, Morris Dancers etc and celebrating Christmas Day, St Patrick's Day etc early! (Or late-depends on how you view it!)

Great little Shepherd Neame pub in Hythe High Street. Lovely crowd in the bar - all ages - excellent real ale and good home cooked food - with fabulous Whitstable Oysters
