Friendly pub with a decent selection of the Shep's ales. Only Shep's ales, but that's the brewery's policy MankyBadger - 18 Apr 2014 18:21 |
Old fashioned. In the best way possible. The area, off a main road but in the mashes, gives it an on-the-edge-of-wilderness feel and the pub itself, cosy and aged has an old smugglers inn feel about it (perhaps because it once was). The whole effect; walking in from a windy stroll on the marshes and down into a warm welcoming low ceilinged bar with flagstones, a big inglenook fire place and two dozing cats is an experience to be encouraged. It flirts a little with that Ye Olde look from the 1970s, but gets away with it by being honest and having a good atmosphere and friendly service. Good banter at the bar, even on the quiet afternoon we visited. The food is of the same ilk; pie and chips, fish and chips, lasagna etc. pubby food, but pubby food done really well and in large portions too. And by pie, I mean a pie, not a dish with some puff pastry shoved on top of it. Old fashioned perhaps, but in the best way possible. My one and only gripe would be that it’s a Shepherd Neame pub; they produce fine ales but that’s all the choice you get and if you are a beer tourist after a guest ale from a small local brewery you are out of luck.

A quaint pub, but not cheap! martins2 - 11 Oct 2012 05:50 |
I have been visiting this pub for a number of years and have always found the food to be of a high standard. I was worried that this may change with the new owners but I have found that it is still very good. We own a caravan at Camber and use this pub at least once on every visit to this area. All of the friends and family we have taken there have been impressed too so it gets my vote. There is a wide variety of food on the menu, the beer is good and the staff friendly and helpful.

Agree with the writer below. We used to be the regulars here. But after the last landlord left and this place has gone downhill in food and service level for the past year. You hardly see the new landlord and the place was run probably by a manager or supervisor with all kids in the kitchen. This was our last visit. Don't think we will come back until things are sorted out. BFS - 21 Apr 2011 21:01 |
