| We recently had Christmas Day lunch at this pub. What a disappointment. The barn to the side of the pub is used for this function. It was freezing cold - we ended up eating in our overcoats. The staff (of which there were many) did not seem to know what they were doing. The meal was terrible. The turkey overcooked. We had to queue at a carvery to be served. The vegetables arrived at the table before we joined the carvery queue - therefore stone cold. One of our party has a nut allergy - none of the staff seemed to know which of the desserts was nut free (and kept changing their minds). In the end she had cheese and biscuits!. Never going back. leonB - 4 Jan 2011 13:24 |
| Beautiful old pub, all beams etc. but very foodie. We were just there for a drink. Manged to get somewhere to sit, it's certainly popular and had my first pint of Tonbridge Ale as I like to support local breweries and try ones I haven't had before. It was ok but for the second we reverted back to Harvey's, the tried and trusted favourite and it was good. A good pub with potential but not a great one. gdm - 4 Dec 2010 20:44 |
| I have to agree with previous comments in that this place could be so good. The "famous steak roll" we had was soggy so unless it's famous for being soggy I can't imagine why its famous! Beer (Tonbridge ale) was average and seemed mostly darker ales were on tap so if you like IPA or golden ales like me forget it! meland - 18 Oct 2010 12:36 |
| Pretty as a picture.. ..But.... Used to serve good ales at good prices at good hours.. Was always a stopoff on our cycle tours... then just stopped opening sensible hours the just stopped going ............... kisstaker - 13 Aug 2010 22:57 |
| This pub could be AMAZING ideal location, steeped in history and has a massive garden but what on earth the current owners are doing I have no idea. This should be our local as stumbling distance but we have been there a total of 4 times and it just doesn't work. Too busy trying to be foodie when up the road The Snail has all those bases covered. Please can the current owners just make it a decent country pub and please get rid of the taster menu and the pancake menu. If you want to stop off for a pint whilst out walking its fine, the little seats at the front are nice and the pub itself is really pretty and set within a lovely village but not much room inside unless your eating and the dining room doesn't feel like it's part of a historical pub. taylor1982 - 13 Aug 2010 12:51 |
