| Really hard to know what to say about this pub. On the one hand, it keeps good Shepherd Neame beer, has a nice fire, a decent garden, and serves excellent food. But on the other hand, the food is so slow as to be beyond acceptable, even for such good food, and this spoils the whole experience. Our last two weekend lunches (both in 2011) - ordered late (2:15) and didn't get our food till nearly 3:30; ordered in good time (12:55) and didn't get main courses till 2:35. Now the food is serious cooking, and when it eventually arrives it is really good, so you can see it takes time to prepare. But that amount of time is just silly. They really need to do something (need more hands in the kitchen? a shorter and less ambitious menu?) because waiting for 60-90 minutes for your food is a pain and my wife now refuses to go there.

| Just travelling around looking for a bite for lunch. Had a great pint of Spitfire and then found their debit machine wasn't active so lacking the cash readies spent �70 next door in the Italian Restaurant which was very good. Initial impression is that this is a lively local pub with a few tourists stopping on route. The food menue looked basic, which was a surprise. The "Thanks for coming" comment from the landlady left an indelible mark WELL DONE. Short visit but 8/10 bickleyrealale - 28 Feb 2009 16:31 |
