Two visits in the same week to a naturally pretty venue, full of character. Jimmy is an absolute treasure and worth his weight in gold, nothing is to much trouble and his attention to detail is second to none. I am unable to say the same for the other members of staff unfortunately. I do not mean to be derogatory, but they are just not customer service orientated by any stretch of the imagination whatsoever, and the minute Jimmy is occupied elsewhere, service and any attention just falls to pieces. Food is sadly no more than spruced up, microwaved, pub-grub and averagely disappointing at that. Given no excuse, in that we dined on both occasions in a virtually empty pub, it was either over-nuked or under. Despite a poor review, we shall return yet again, but only because of Jimmy’s such polite and welcoming service, which more than makes up for the let downs.

Really nice country pub. Good for dog owners, walkers, and arriving on horseback. Large parking area backing onto campsite Freshly cooked traditional food is served to a high standard. Reasonable beer and wine selection. Service was quick from an attentive team. Very cozy pub interior which is well decorated.

This is a Lovely pub nicely situated in the North Kent downs. I've been here a couple of times and thoroughly enjoyed it. They have off road parking for all modes of transport including horses (honestly im not joking), The seating is plentiful, the staff are very friendly and welcoming and the food is delicious and well priced. There always seems to be something on, They have a bike night every Tuesday anybody is welcome but if you are on 2 wheels be it a pushbike or motorcycle you get a free curry, and tonight (friday) was music quiz night which was a good laugh, I definitely think iv found my new (not so) local. Plus they also offer camping overlooking the Kent downs its a must for the stargazers.

We had a brilliant experience here. We stayed on their camp site at the rear of the pub and enjoyed an amazing meal and the Friday night music quiz. The staff were amazing and the prices were very reasonable. We had a table booked for 7:30pm but due to traffic, we were late to arrive. We rang ahead and I think they kept the kitchen open for us. You don’t see customer service like this much. I think the head waitress was called Maddie? Amazing and bubbly person as well as all the staff. Thank you.

This is a great pub to visit, we've eaten here so many times. It's totally dog friendly inside and outside. The menus have a good selection on them and there is a good choice of drinks. Lots of places to sit; indoors, under the veranda outside or in the gardens. Why we love this pub is because it's right next to some excellent dog walking routes on the Hucking Estate. After a good walk you can sit and relax with a meal and watch people turn up with their dogs, horses, motorbikes, and even campervans. The staff have always been friendly and helpful, even when they are super busy. We'll be going back again soon.
