The Camden Arms, Pembury

Went there for Sunday lunch, rather dissapointing. Three of us had the carvery which was bland with soggy vegetables, leathery roast potatoes. Desert was an even bigger dissapointment, we all had apple pir which had been microwaved to produce a soggy mess and served with custard from a carton.

Never again, be warned.

The Plough and Harrow, Litlington

We wnet this Friday eveining for dinner and we were all very impressed, it was good, service superb, friendly,informative and the right balance of attentivness. Food was excellent good local produce well cooked interesting dishes well flavoured and presented. The menu was short enough to know it was fresh, no microwaves or frozen rubbish. Their is a new landlord and chef within the last sic months who is turning thepub back into a village pub with good wine beer food and service.

The Lamb Inn, Wartling

We booked a table for six for dinner on Saturday evening, pleasantly surprised when we arrived with the warm welcome and cosy lounge with luxurious leather settees. Interesting menu and specials board and excellent wine list, the latter somewhat pricey. The restaurant was atmospheric and the tables well presented although it was too hot and the lighting so dim it was hard to see.

First courses were a terrine of mackerel and crayfish, excellent, though could have been improved with some dressing on the accompanying salad, they could have missed the rather drab mayonnaise which was superfluous. A salad of bacon and goats cheese was superb. Good risotto and goats cheese tart.

Main courses cassoulet, lamb shank, pancake cannelloni and pork belly were all excellent.
Deserts were good and interesting.

All together an excellent dinner and evening some attention to detail would move it all up a notch. I do think the prices are a little over ambitious for a country pub.
