My local pub. Can be OK, but today was great. Our server was personable and chatty. My friend had the 3 course lunch set menu, starter, smoked mackerel and horseradish pate with toasted sourdough bread. More than one piece would have been appreciated. Main, low and slow roasted pork belly, and Eton Mess for dessert. I didn't have a starter, skate wing from the main menu, and supposedly tiramasu, just a chocolate mousse with a fabulous brandy base. I didn't have the coffee or cream top. We had a lovely lunch and made extra special by using my loyalty card.

Visited on a wet bank holiday lunch and ended up having three courses. It's an old pub and the decor is that mixed style where nothing seems to match (it's hard to tell if this is just what it is or by design 🤣). Service was friendly and timely throughout. Our food was really good and definitely beyond expectations. I had the asparagus and crispy duck egg, Guinea Fowl and then the burnt Basque cheesecake. It was all lovely and the presentation was superb. Prices were pretty decent too at about £85 a couple with drinks.

During a conversation with a stranger was recommended here. Warmly welcomed. Great atmosphere. Nice staff. Excellent food. Great choices from multiple menus. Had a lovely Sri Lankan Cashew & Squash Curry and was very nice indeed. The Steak one of our party had looked excellent quality and perfectly cooked. Reasonable prices. Will definitely revisit

Quite a nice place with decent service. Went on a Saturday evening andnmost of the tables are full. Service is very polite and good. Ambience is pretty neat. Only problem we faced was there was not enough sauce bottles and we need to ask the service people for lemon and herb sauce and they were providing couple of packets. We have to ask more than 3 times which we feel Odd. One other thing to note, the washrooms are at first floor.

Went in for lunch on a weekday and despite the restaurant being busy, the service was excellent. We were promptly seated at a table and the food came out very quickly. The wait staff came by to check in on us and the food was delicious as always. The GM Haroon was very kind and took the time to explain about the sauce set being sold for charity. We walked out with our stomachs and hands full. We will definitely be back next time we’re around.

All the staff were lovely, doing a fantastic job, really friendly. The food was fresh and well cooked/ presented. Bringing our dogs to family gatherings is very important to us, so being dog friendly is amazing. We all had a really nice time, including the kids and our fur babies. Thank you. And the bestest thank you to all the staff that worked over Christmas. Your amazing. Happy new year to you all Jeanette Stevens 😊

We decided to go here for our 23rd anniversary, we had not been here before and had heard mixed reviews. The atmosphere was very friendly and uplifting, the staff were very friendly and professional. I had the mixed grill as I saw it actually had a lamb chop included, most places give you chicken instead and for the first time that I can remember the steak was medium-rare as requested and not medium to well done that I have had elsewhere. Will definitely be revisiting here again 👌

Our food was lovely, came nice and hot, mine would have been nice on a warmer plate as it was presented on a wooden board - I’d the chicken kebab, was scrumptious. When I booked online, I asked for the bar area, as it’s cosy there. On your website there’s nowhere to select ordinary chairs rather than high seats. Luckily we were able to move tables when one was available… the atmosphere was lovely as always. Subtle Christmas decorations and gentle music was lovely as were all of your staff.

Booking Xmas meal was excellent with everyone able to order themselves via a link. Lots of reminder communications too. Greeted on arrival and the table was set up nicely. All members of the team were friendly and helpful in what was a very busy afternoon. The food was delicious, especially the Apple & Cherry crumble. 10/10 will go back!

Visited this branch today with my family. All the front staff are lovely, bubbly and efficient. We sat down and managed to spilled my husband's drink. Went and ask for help, Victoria managed to spot and helped me all the way for clearing my mess without any hesitation. Of course, I helped her as I can't just sit in one corner whilst she's cleaning the mess I made. She's amazing. She helped with passion, calmly and professionally. Thank you so much Victoria. You're an asset to this branch.

An impromptu visit recently with my children but was unknowingly in the window between breakfast & lunch. The server was very helpful and made me a ham salad sandwich as after the walk from East Malling I didnt have much time. The Fresh loaves of bread on sale were great value & the selection of cakes very tempting Would recommend better signage on foot as I walked the whole way round following the road signs not realising it was in the middle of the buildings

Rode past a few years ago on way to Labour at the new EMRC site being built and thought it was for employees only. Discovered today whilst looking for a local cafe to take the partner and son for a quick bite, that it is open to public too, so thought we'd give it a try. Turned out to be a fantastic decision. Lovely spot with the friendliest staff you'll find anywhere. Food top notch and reasonably priced and best of all it's HOT. Plenty of space for meetings or a quiet bite, the staff having meetings are barely audible and very respectful of the surroundings even when sat one table over. It is clear the owners and managers of this establishment care about what they do. It's a whole package breakfast/lunch experience, lovely landscaped surroundings, wonderful food, and a service to match. You can access it on foot or by car, and is only a short distance from the nearest bus stop and train station. 5*s isn't enough. Will be coming back again VERY soon and I can't wait to visit when the orchards are in bloom.

We have dined here a few times. Sadly a little while ago they suffered a devastating fire but have reopened again. The pub is an old building with plenty of character. The jewel in its crown is being located in the lovely village of Aylesford right next to the river Medway. Their outside area offers lovely views of the river and old bridge crossing. They have a good selection of beers, wines and spirits. IMO they have upped their game on the food front, most patrons were there to eat and we saw some very tasty meals passing by us. We are being healthy ATM so went for tuna nicoise salad. Our came a lovely tuna steak with new potatoes and a leafy salad with olives, tomato and onion. They have some vegetarian and vegan options on their menu too. Service is not quick but I would rather have fresh cooked good food than zapped, poor quality food. We also treated ourselves to a frozen strawberry daiquiri slushy, very nice on a warm day. There is a free car park a five minute walk away, no parking on the street outside. In summary, a nice meal, not rushed . Staff except one were friendly.

This place is a GEM. We walked from Rochester to Aylesford today on the Pilgrims Way. Got soaked. Were recommended this place at the Priory and had a superb end to our walk here. Amazing service. Think owners are new. Very friendly. Accommodated us even though they were busy on a Sunday. Food was superb. Amazing vegetarian Sunday roast. Good wine and awesome dessert. So overall, 5/5 for food. Service - so friendly and sincere. Waitress and the owner looked after us. We chatted and just had a nice cosy feel to the place. I really hope people disregard the previous reviews and give this place a chance. The new owners are lovely and the food was amazing. I left my handbag and scarf there by accident as I was putting my coats on and had a backpack with me. Bless them. They sent Harley running after us to the station (as we had chatted and they knew we were heading back to London) to give me my handbag. I’m so grateful for the hospitality and their kindness and effort. It’s such a nice feeling to have a glow in the heart that good people do still exist. Thank you guys so much for giving us such an awesome evening. A great end to a lovely day. I’ve been trying to call to say thank you but can’t get thru on the phone. I will be in Aylesford later in the month to do the next section of the Pilgrims Way. I will definitely pop in to say my thanks in person. Please keep up the amazing friend service and the good food.

The Wealden Hall Public House, located at London Road in East Malling, Aylesford, is a historically significant building dating back to the late 14th century. Originally a farmhouse, it has been modified over centuries and now serves as a restaurant. The building's main block showcases exposed timber framing with curved braces and brick infilling, characteristic of its medieval origins. The service and solar ends are jettied forward on brackets and joists, and the structure includes a central recess supported by two curved braces, plain tiled hipped roofs with gablets, and various architectural features like a dragon post and a gabled stair-tower at the rear. In the mid-17th century, an extension was added, enhancing its historical and architectural value. This addition features a timber-framed upper floor, rubble stone ground floor with brick dressings, and a central ridge stack. Internally, the hall retains a collar-purlin roof with a crown post, and there are indications that it once had an upper-floor hall. The Wealden Hall is a Grade II* listed building, recognized for its architectural and historic significance, and has been officially listed since February 1987. Excellent food, and drinks, with a warm welcome & friendly atmosphere. The staff is attentive when entering this establishment offering a cosy, traditional pub ambience which enhances their dining experience. Regarding the food, the menu offers a variety of traditional British pub dishes: steak and ale pie, lamb shank, and fish and chips. I specifically commend the chicken and ham pie being a standout dish. Drink options are also well-rated, with a good selection of ales, lagers, and wines. A large outside seating area with parasols. Overall, the Wealden Hall I highly recommend for those seeking hearty, traditional British fare in a historic and pleasant setting. Dog-friendly... 🐕

It was a very lovely experience down there. I’ve been to the restaurant twice. 5 of the photos were on my Samsung in which the photo quality isn’t great, the other 5 on my iPhone where the photo quality is better. I went there with my classmates and teachers. Originally, we was supposed to go in December 2022, but due to the snow and learning from home, we couldn’t go. However, we eventually went there in January 2023. I had fish and chips along with garlic bread and an ice cream sundae (pics from my Samsung phone which the photo quality was poor) and it was lovely. The second time I went was in July of 2023, again with my classmates and teachers. We had the meal out hence one of the teachers was leaving our school. This time I had a starter being chicken strips. My main meal was the same delicious fish and chips. One of my friends gave me a waffle which was beautiful. (Second time I went, photos were on my iPhone and quality was even better). The staff were very friendly. I would 100000% go there again :)

A lovely old fashioned pub/restaurant just outside of Maidstone,Kent. I parked in their large free car park. Note that there are no parking restrictions. The pub is an old building with large oak beams, watch you don't bump your head in some areas. There are plenty of tables and I would imagine the area around the lovely open fire is rarely empty during the cold months. There is also a large outside seating area which is patio styled with plenty of wooden tables. The pub is run by Greene King and is more upmarket than usual and this is reflected in the menu and the pricing. I had some nachos which was a large portion and the tortilla chips were home made ( see pic ) very nice but at £9.75 the most I've paid in a Greene King pub. I saw various meals come to tables and all looked good and it's not all chips,chips,chips. They have the two meals deal but it's set at £14.99 hear which again is on the higher side but portions are generous. They still have some great offers on drinks with cocktails and spritzers at just £5.99. All staff I came into contact with were polite and friendly. This would be a great place for special occasions as the surroundings are lovely. Visited on 10/12/24 and was a little disappointed..trying to run everything with just one member of staff simply did not work. Tables were left with plates and glasses and there were times when no one was at the bar to serve

Fantastic family breakfast at Pilgrims Hall. Such a lovely building within the priory. You don’t need too, but we called ahead and breakfast was prepared for us for when we arrived. Cooked breakfast, lots of tea and coffee, orange and apple juice. Toast and Jams and cereals. £9.80 per person. Fabulous breakfast, highly recommended if your having a family outing breakfast! Super friendly lady running everything. Opening from 10am-3pm.
