The Kings Head, Staplehurst

Attended this local venue early evening on Thursday 3rd June, which for the record was a hot day.

Within minutes was stunned by news that there was no white wine or rose. They had run out and were tied to a brewery - awaiting delivery. This despite the fact the website publicises the existence of a well stocked wine cellar.

Ordered 3 meals - more news - they had run out of Steak and Ale Pie, Kings Pie and Tuna Steak.

Was about to walk out but ordered Scampi and Rack of Ribs. The scampi was small in portion and the ribs served up as a mess on a plate.

The presence of polite, apologetic staff and 'Late Red' on tap did nothing to appease me or my family.

A poor experience!
