We had seen this pub many times, passing to get on the M3 as it’s right on the junction. Decided to give it a go one day and we were greeted by the then, new landlords who had just taken over (this must be almost two years ago ish now.)

We have been back regularly since. The food has got to be among the best 'pub food' out there and is fairly priced for the quality you receive. We have NEVER had a bad meal.

The pub itself is beautiful, has loads of history and is sat next to a cricket field. We have spent many a Sunday, in the garden watching the cricket enjoying a fantastic roast (with the HUGEST Yorkshire pud you have ever seen.) The interior decor for special occasions such as Halloween and Christmas are all done in house by the Landlord, no sign of tat here, very tasteful!

In my opinion it well deserves the two awards it has won over subsequent years. I have recommended it to many friends who have all had a lovely meal and been back.

It’s just shame that not all pubs live up to this standard and whilst you 'cant please every one all of the time', appreciated, if you love food, you'll love it here!!!

I am always dragged here for work outings, been there ~ 20 times in the last two years, each time it was a bad experience. bad food, warm beer (lager), suuuper slow service, very rude staff. I have to go again this Friday - might be better because I can stay outside where it may actually be warm (inside is always freeeezing, even in front of the fire.

I see good reviews here and dont understand where they are coming from - must be all family friends of the landlord?

Last year in the Pub Food category of the Shepherd Neame Pub Awards, recognising more traditional pub fare, the Crown and Cushion won the top prize and was praised for its "fabulous food with a terrific choice of quality dishes". Judges said the pub, run by tenants William Upton and Julie McNally, was "a dream local pub and a true winner". this year, following on from that success, they have now scooped the top prize and been crowned Shepherd Neame Pub of the Year.

Well deserved congratulations to William and Julie; just reward for all their hard work and vision, over the last two years, in creating one of the best pubs in the area.
