"Out of the  way" "Miles from anywhere but good grub and very friendly people, good beer and well worth someone who doesn't drink taking you there."

"A hidden gem 5 stars"
"I have visited this country pub on several occasions whilst visiting friends in the area, the food is some of the best fresh home cooked food I have tasted. Brenda the landlady and cook is the best for her homemade meals. Sunday roasts are to die for with at least 6 different vegetables on the plate. My favourite is the homemade sticky toffee pudding but I have also had ammereto bread and butter pud which was excellent. They have a black board with specials on and serving evening meals. This is not a modern pub it is very old and has lots of old character. If traveling near Dover or Canterbury get off the beaten track you won't be disappointed"

"We decided to have dinner here one evening whilst staying nearby on holiday and really enjoyed ourselves. The staff were very friendly and the food delicious and really really good value for money. We had the lasagne and the fish and chips and both were great. Would not hesitate in visiting again if in the local area."

"After a most pleasant and enjoyable visit to this delightful country pub, I picked up one of their cards which would mean that my wife and I would then have the telephone number in order to book for our next visit. The card certainly has the telephone number ,but also the following mottos (as I choose to call them ): "Good food and Hospitality AND "ONLY THE BEST IS GOOD ENOUGH". Now these are not idle boasts because the management take this wording very seriously indeed, and I hope potential visitors will enjoy their visit as much as my wife and I did especially if they receive the courtesy and service we received from the excellent young lady who served us with our drinks and meals. The back of the card is also worth mentioning. Here ,you have the words: "Thank You For your custom Please call again", How charming ! Well, we have the telephone number so we certainly shall. Meanwhile, many thanks indeed."

There is a function room available for all occasions.
