Amazing food, fantastic friendly staff, lovely dog friendly country pub to stop off in for a delicious bite to eat and a drink while on a long walk!
A truly fabulous country pub. Lovely food, wonderful staff, amazing events and occasions for everyone. True community spirit for locals and visitors and supporting charities. Well worth a visit.
Visiting the Kent Countryside, came across this quaint pub. Both ate lunch here, very enjoyable and good quality home cooked food. Would recommend.
Great pub it is great as a drinking pub also brilliant for dinner. Very friendly and adaptable for special diets.
Couldn't have been made more welcomed, absolutely fantastic food. Would definitely recommend this lovely country Pub.

He will accept Best Bitter or Stella.
Another fab evening at the B&J's :)

Lovely traditional cosy pub. Went there for a roast dinner in November - large portions & great value. Staff very helpful. Will definitey be going back.
Lance. Love the grub and the atmosphere, for those of you who didn't enjoy should leave a comment as to why, so that this great community pub can stay as one of the top ten in Kent.
Great atmosphere and really amazing food, perfect balance between home cooking and top restaurant quality menu. Fantastic desserts and really friendly staff.
Heard of Frittenden, home of the treacle mines? Probably not, but this pleasant Kentish village boasts the Bell and Jorrocks which, thanks to Sean and Rosie has always been the most warm and welcoming of family pubs. Now, with the addition of Steve Ayre in the kitchen the pub boasts a menu which has never disappointed your correspondent! Locally sourced ingredients, generous portions, and a well conceived seasonal menu, but all served in a good honest way without the affectations that taint the experience in some of the areas more established "gastropubs". In short it's now a good pub, which happens to serve great food. The Rabbit Casserole with beetroot chips was "bread-wipingly" irresistible; the plumb pie and custard as good as mums. Well worth a try.
What a friendly and delicious visit to a very comfy pub during our hike. If we had to make a tiny change, we would have preferred the fries on a separate plate so there is more space to cut the steak and they won’t be soaked with the meat juice. But everything including the fries was very good. And we can only recommend to time your hiking lunch break with this pub.
Stopped off here for a light lunch as partner used to drink here years ago. What a gem! Such a cute and cozy traditional pub. Lunch was fantastic and staff were super friendly. Highly recommended, lovely place! 👍
An absolute gem! The quintessential village pub where you are assured of a warm welcome by Landlord Sean and Landlandy Rosie, whether you are a regular ‘local’ or just passing through.
The food is very good and not at all pretentious - the usual pub classics but often with a local twist eg burgers using venison shot locally by one of Sean’s friends, game terrines and smoked dishes all made from scratch by Sean etc. Beef and lamb is often from the farm less than half a mile down the lane.
A good selection of ales and lagers - Goacher’s Fine Light and Harvey’s are wonderfully kept - as well as reasonable wines.
The pub has a good mix of all walks of life from around and about, and is dog friendly.
And if you get chatting to Sean and you are nice to him he may tell you all about the Frittenden treacle mines!
Partner and I stopped by for an unplanned roast dinner and were able to confirm a table when we were only 10 mins away. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Roast was lovely and we'd definitely pop back if in the area.
A family gathering of 14 for a birthday dinner. A wide selection ordered from menu. Fully enjoyed by all. Excellent food and despite variety of order all served very quickly.
Shame 5 stars is the limit.
14 highly satisfied customers.
Lucky to be able to visit here regularly when we visit family. The loveliest staff, great food and great atmosphere. Very accommodating for little ones too. Our little boy loves coming here
Good, honest community pub. No flashy lights, zinc bar and loud music. And it is all the better for that. This is a good pub that serves good ale and has a fine menu choice.
It is blessed with a lovely landlord & landlady who know what they are doing and can host big groups if arranged in advance.
A very fine rural pub. I hope hell freezes over before this place stops closes.
Great local pub for beer and food. Been here many lunchtimes over the past couple of months and it's been consistently very good
The food beer and service was excellent and very good value. It was great to visit a brilliant local village pub that is truly an integral part of village life.
Excellent pub food, good beer and cider, excellent service - thoroughly recommend this pub
