The gradual evolution of The Green Man into a pub restaurant traces its origins back to the 17th century, when the building was a farmhouse that brewed ale for the farm workers. Legend has it a green branch was hung out the upstairs window to let the workers know when the ale was ready. The Green Man is still a popular place to enjoy Real Ale.
A country pub oozing rural charm and rustic character, our picturesque surroundings provide the perfect backdrop for savouring the hearty, seasonal pub-food on our menu, and the carefully nurtured cask ales and fine wines gracing our bar.
Whether you are planning dinner with friends or Sunday lunch with family, book a table online and enjoy some quality time with those you love the most.

Spending the night away and came across the Green Man by accident and would recommend to anyone great service from Olivia and great food and drinks, would not hesitate to recommend to anyone
We were really looking forward to having our first night out as a couple in a very long time! We were given a dining out card as a Christmas gift and decided we would use the green man as the first time using a vintage inn. Really sorry to say, but this place needs an awful lot of work! It was very very quiet which usually means good service in most places. However, not the case here. As I am currently trying to eat healthy, I’d already decided what I was going to order prior to arrival after checking on the website. However, it was kindly explained to me by the waitress (I think the only time we saw her) that you couldn’t remove a sauce from a meal as no food is prepared fresh, it is pre-portioned first thing in the morning and reheated throughout the day so I cannot remove the sauce from any meal. However, a female manager did then by chance ask if we were okay and she explained that we would be able to have the sauce on the side. However, all of this was irrelevant as when I saw another table the fishcakes the sauce comes on the side anyway, not the best start. The starters were pretty mediocre, just deep fried stuff, but hey it’s not high end prices so you can live with it. Not sure why with no need to cook anything they took so long. This was the first time we saw the cook, a young girl with long dark hair, casually strolling through the restaurant in a uniform that looked like it hadn’t been washed in a week, playing on her phone and running her hands through her hair, I’d bet any amount of money they weren’t washed before back on the microwaves and deep fryers. The waitress did show up for the second and last time to remove the starter plates with a ‘How was it’ comment. This now became more of a comedy night than a meal out. Our hair playing cook then sent out the mains, and if you’ve ever seen that episode of friends where Chandler lives with the crazy guy that dehydrates everything, well I assume he was the 2nd cook. Have a look a the Brocolli served with the fish cakes. It is genuinely funny! We couldn’t complain, there was nobody about anymore. Oh other than when we finished the illusive waitress appeared from nowhere quicker than the flash super hero to clear a nearby table, I then realised it was because they’d been silly enough to leave a tip on the table. Of which she didn’t bother to wipe once she’d banked the cash. The manager lady did come and eventually take our plates, not asking how anything was, so I quickly asked if the broccoli was meant to be like that. She answered no, and did offer to remove my meal from the bill, it’s a shame because if there had been some sort of check back I wouldn’t have left hungry. So we waited for the bill… and waited… the manager lady had disappeared… the waitress (and I use this term tongue in cheek) was busy on her knees taking through the host stand to a regular drinker, as the other manager (make) in a check shirt walked around the bar on his phone when he wasn’t having banter with drinkers. This isn’t a real restaurant, I wouldn’t bother going if you’ve bothered to get to the end of this long review. I’d imagine this review will only get read by people currently in the restaurant waiting for their mains. If that’s you… get ready for disappointment.
Lovely country pub/restaurant. I visited with family and had a chilled evening. Delicious food and cosy atmosphere. Our server was Sheila. She was so lovely, polite, and knowledgeable of the menu. I will be returning soon.
Perfect, perfect, perfect. My first visit for a meal in the restaurant and greeted by the most friendly waitress Sheila. She had a lovely calm manner. I arrived quite late at 6.45pm, The pub restaurant has a nice feel about it. I ordered the Beef Roast and when Sheila brought the meal out I was truly impressed, not only did it look great it tasted so lovely. I say this because recently I have been to two other country pubs and the roasts were terrible. I'm so pleased I have found a place near to where I live that has a Chef that can truely cook properly and nicely present the food, and Sheila the perfect waitress, like I said at the beginning perfect, perfect perfect.
We had a really good time here. Food was amazing and the staff were absolutely brilliant. Nice atmosphere, old country pub style. I had beef pie and veg which was delicious. My son had a proper stone baked pizza, probably the best we've had outside italy. Portions were large and we all left full. Sheila the waitress was very kind. We will be coming here again soon

Bartellas majors on good food, professionally served in smart surroundings, at terrific value for money prices. I opened Bartellas in Meopham mainly through my frustration at not being able to find a restaurant that offered simply that.
