The Stanhope Arms, Brasted

Went for sunday lunch 3 adults 4yr old neice and 2 big dogs. Dont think ive seen such an immaculate pub in all my life. We sat in the bar in big comfy chair and sofas with a gorgeous glass of house red. Landlady and landlord welcoming and creating a warm and relaxed atmosphere. Menu is mouthwatering and backs up its promise on every aspect. We sat up to a lovely oak dining table and Had mixed roast with pork lamb and beef with the fluffiest roasties ive ever eaten. Vegetables and gravy were perfect. The love and pride that goes into making a roast like that does take time so dont go in here expecting a conveyer belt dinner cooked a few days ago and nuked in a microwave by a spotty teenager. I was halfway through my second glass of delicious house red when the landlady came and let us know our dinner was 5 minutes away. We had gorgeous christmas ambience with decorations and music. Toilets were spotless and had lovely toiletries on offer. This pub is a sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle, A rare gem to be treasured that has been here for a long time and i hope a long time to come.we will definitly be back very soon.
