Having eaten here a couple of times before it seemed like the right venue for a meal with our family visiting from overseas. We weren’t disappointed, the service was as usual attentive, polite and unhurried; the food excellent great menu not overloaded & confusing but something for everyone and cooked/presented to perfection, so tasty; a great selection of wine/drinks and a price that reflected the quality of food etc but wasn’t extortionate. Our family loved the whole experience & we will definitely be returning.
Visited for the 3rd or 4time last night and overall I feel the place has diminished in quality and atmosphere.
Only table available a a " corner nook" next to the fireplace with a communal sofa behind my chair. This is where children were allowed to sit.
Food: good, excellent Tempura summer vegetables and Pea and broad bean with mint Creme Fraiche were executed and presented well.
Mains
Black olive sundries tomato and rosemary risotto with crumbled goats cheese. Again presented well and brought together all the flavours.
However this may be better of offered as a starter
Pan roasted chicken supreme. Good and an excellent calvados cream
Facilities
The menus presented were disgusting, stained and wrinkled and clearly been around the block a few times.
Ladies toilet did not have any toilet paper
Overall the pub remains a good venue but it has deteriorated in my opinion from the high point of around a year ago
What a fabulous pub. Booked a celebratory lunch for 14 and we weren't disappointed. Great service, great food, great atmosphere and fabulous timber-framed architecture.
Great food great service. Location perfect with sunny garden space for pre dinner drinks. Have celebrated birthdays and other special days here and have never been disappointed!!
Booked for a treat for Father's Day and was not disappointed a lovely meal with friendly staff
Ben and his staff always make you feel welcome whether its for a cosy meal or propping up the bar for a few drinks and a chat. If you haven't had a chance to visit then you are missing out.
Delicious food, attentive staff and a great atmosphere!
Purely fantastic and great staff will definitely be coming back �
Brilliant meal last night for my birthday. Service and food excellent. Will be back soon
Visited for the first time for Sunday lunch and the food was great, although the garlic bread was unusual and probably wouldn’t order again. The mains were really good though which more than made up for this. The service was faultless and everyone was attentive. Overall a very nice lunch and we hope to return again.
Lovely light lunch, beautifully fresh, didn't have to wait long and very reasonably priced. Good idea to pre book too. Stunning location with lots of charm.
Excellent food!
Very good service and wonderful company.
Excellent food, great service in a lovely location. Also great for the little ones to play. �

Fantastic food, great local wine and very cosy inside.
One of the very best meals in a pub I’ve ever had - everything I ate was perfect. The seating in the garden is very pleasant and the staff were all very helpful and friendly (although we asked for some water a couple of times and it never arrived). The food is very very good value. The bread and butter was sublime, the mushroom and truffle risotto so creamy and decadent and the Eve’s pudding and custard so comforting and tasty. I would really like to return and try more things from the menu. Soon I hope!
The food here is outstanding, and so reasonably priced. We ate three delicious courses and paid less than £35 each. Honestly it is brilliant value. The outside area is really nice too. Only slight downside is the very tight car park, and we asked for tap water twice and never got any. But aside from that it is really great.
The food was a delicious and the menu really interesting, but I think we suffered from a case of expectations vs reality. The vibe of the pub is traditional and cosy with a fire place and cute dogs, but the menu didn't quite match up to the hearty pub meal we were hoping for. It aligned more with a refined British restaurant, smaller portions and slightly over priced. Having said all that, the food we did eat was very tasty, special mention to the braised leek dish, which was entirely vegan, but very creamy.
The staff were also very attentive and the decor with dark wooden beams was lovely.
Attended a family wedding here and everything was so perfect. Staff were amazing, food totally first class.... hats off to the chef. ..and the venue itself was faultless. A fabulous time made all the better by this fantastic pub and its staff. Thank you 😊
Housed in a 400 year old pub it has that British country warming character. The warmth continues with chatty, friendly, attentive and helpful staff. Their guidance through the menu was honest and exemplary. The recommended veggie burger was the beat example I have had the pleasure of eating. The staff went in as far as recommending a dessert and pairing it with off the menu ingredients. Their side recommendation elevated and complemented the crumbly dish. Price is excellent given the quality. On this occasion, which is rare, I was sad to say goodbye.
I had read the food was good. and it was sooooooo good. Lovely little place.
You will not be disappointed. Oh and the team are just delightful. Thanks guys for a cracking little lunch. 😋😋😋🤫🤫
A lovely setting for a pub & restaurant with beams and uneven floors.
Retro furniture that's mismatched but it all adds to the ambience. It's a busy place but thats because it is popular. The food is excellent and pricey but well presented and so full of flavours. Most of the ingredients are sourced from local farms and producers so everything is fresh. Good service and knowledgeable staff. The wine list is extensive and if you are keen on cocktails there are many to choose from. A perfect place for a romantic meal or drink. Unfortunately the car park is very small. At busy times you'll be better off parking towards the top of the hill rather than in the pubs car park.
Lovely pub that specialises in great food and service. Nice bar, open fire and casual dinning tables downstairs. Further dinning space upstairs including a little private dinning room. The food was superb, staff were friendly and provided great service and pub has great character. Highly recommend.
Good atmosphere and cosy, typical English pub in the area. The waitresses are very friendly. The food is average but with good company.... You don't even notice!
Booked this pub to celebrate our granddaughters birthday. They have a play area for children which is quite secure.
The food and service was very good.
Went here after a hike in Otford. Had a lovely Sunday roast: the beef was tender, roast potatoes and veggies were cooked perfectly, we were given lots of gravy, and the chocolate and hazelnut tart for dessert was delicious. Definitely recommend!
I have been here a few times now. Lovely restaurant. The food is amazing and the staff are very friendly and polite. You can always sit outside in the sunshine, which is lovely.
I would definitely recommend this place
Lovely garden and play area for the children. Staff were more than helpful and very friendly. Food was good, if a little expensive! Had a lovely time and would most certainly return.
We stopped by & asked for coffee in the garden & ended by staying for lunch. The garden is lovely & the play area suited my granddaughter of 20 mnths but would be good for older too.
The child menu was good as was the adult one.
A very happy unplanned couple of hours.
Had tasty Sunday Roast. Well behaved dog was welcomed at the pub. Good service and enjoyed our meal.
We stumbled on this little gem after going for a random drive. Service is great. We sat in the sun trapped garden. Lovely food. I mean really lovely. Will plan to visit again for sure.
Really lovely Sunday lunch. A great traditional pub/restaurant with excellent food. Came for Sunday lunch and was very nice, staff were extremely helpful and understanding with a member of our party who was gluten intolerant. Really authentic decor and traditional styling was nice. Only criticism would be the (lack of) parking.
Absolutely amazing food and staff.
Went on a week day, can not fault anything. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was outstanding. We will be going back

Wonderful food and great atmosphere. Slight issue with lost food order, but the manager was very understanding and kindly compensated us for this.
