My partner and i are near for the weekend and decided to come here for dinner. First impressions the whole place was beautifully decorated for christmas and overall had a very cosy feeling. All staff very friendly and welcoming, Dean our server was very attentive and made sure everything was okay for us. Food came out very quickly and was absolutely delicious, one of the best steak and ale pies we’ve had. Definitely worth the visit and would massively recommend!!!!

Dropped in for a glass of wine as we were in the area for a meeting. Such a beautiful building inside and out and received a lovely warm welcome from Dean and his team. It was so relaxing and cosy that we decided to book dinner later that weekend. Our dinner was beautiful and the service was impeccable, we would highly recommend. Will be going back for a roast soon. Elham is so lucky to have this in their village.

My girlfriend and I came down south for the weekend just for a get away and wanted to go somewhere close to the accommodation for food. We found Abbots fireside and saw pictures of the food and had to go there. As expected the food was amazing. I had the steak and ale pot pie and my girlfriend had the curry. The pie was insanely good, and dare I say the best pie I had ever had. Dean our server and owner of the place was lovely and gave us all the attention we needed. 10/10 would 100% recommend coming here!!

What a wonderful place. We recently held a baby shower here for my sister and Dean and the team were absolutely great. Nothing was too much trouble. We had a little room to ourselves for the afternoon and ordered a selection of pizzas and sides as a buffet style, which were all delicious. The pub itself is absolutely stunning with so many unique old features. Great outside areas for when the sun is shining. I would highly recommend to anyone thinking of visiting or thinking of a unique venue for a special event.

A lovely welcome from the team at Abbot's Fireside when arrived after a long walk from Canterbury. Our room was perfect and a hot bath much appreciated. The cooked breakfast was just what we needed before we set off again the next morning. Thank you.

A few weeks ago we all had a lovely meal at the Kings Arms, food absolutely delicious and beautifully presented and service fast and efficient. There's also a great children's menu for the little ones. The atmosphere is warm and ambient and the pub is also great for just relaxing over a beer or a glass of wine. Staff are always very friendly and welcoming. This has become our favourite local pub so we will definitely be back to taste more of their gorgeous food.

Our friends took us to this charming village pub on our first night of our long weekend in Kent. We see why they have raved about this place since it was taken over and remodelled. The food was your typical British pub dished, but elevated to the next level As this time of year, if we see pigs in blankets, we order some. I highly recommend you do, some of the best we have had ever. Other dishes we tried include, chefs pie of the day, beef and onion, just yummm, and the rabbit with gnocchi. The service was some of the best for a pic, pleasant, professional and very efficient. The pub its self is stunning with two open fires inside massive barrels, chandeliers made out of vine bottle. Highly recommend a stop here if you are in the area and book if you wish to eat.

Quite busy in the restaurant but that's because it's popular. For starter had crispy beef to share. Had a roast beef and roasted cauliflower with satay sauce for our main course. Good food, good service. Would like to go back in the summer and sit in the garden for lunch

It’s hard to describe the magic of the Pig hotels if you haven’t been to one. Their rustic charm is unbeatable for celebrating a special occasion or just a relaxing break. The thoughtful and personal touches by the team are really second to none - they always go the extra mile with customer service. We have stayed at Bridge Place twice now (getting engaged there the first time!) and we will continue returning year on year. The breakfasts are so yummy - the artisanal options on the breakfast table are a special touch. Dinner is always great! Their interiors are absolutely divine too. Thank you Pig team for another amazing stay, and Merry Christmas!✨

Went for lunch, , driving into the entrance was amazing, fabulous setting, beautiful house. Food was served by fun attentive staff, which made you feel relaxed. Good lunchtime menu. We had a mix of plates for starters for four and four mains. We brought a birthday cake which was served up on a beautiful glass cake stand without any fuss. A couple of glasses of presseco and beers went down well. Highly recommend. Thank you all at THE PIG at the BRIDGE

I had lunch today at the restaurant but did not stay at the hotel.The grounds are incredible.Beautiful scenery. The staff were so lovely and welcoming. I was by myself.They made me feel comfortable aswell as explaining the menu and having a nice chat, the customer service was 10/10. The food was great one of the best meals I’ve had in a while. The staff also helped me get a taxi later on. Would definitely recommend and definitely be back.

We went for dinner to celebrate our anniversary and had such a nice night. All the staff were so relaxed and welcoming - especially Maggie who served us at dinner. She made the atmosphere so enjoyable by being herself while delivering great service.

Had a great lunch here in the lovely village of Elham. We had sandwiches made with exceptional bread with tea that was brought to us within minutes. They had a large array of cakes and many menu items. Nice staff. I'd go there again.

Spot on! As a trades man, this is the cream of the crop. The Scones are made in house and are so tasty, yet fluffy so no heavy mess to it at all or leaves you feeling full. If anything you just want to buy more. Nice and warm in the middle and severs with a bit of butter which is the perfect amount for the scone. The coffee was amazing. I had a Flat White with Oats milk. One of the best coffees I’ve ever had, and I’ve had plenty of them travelling around working. Tasted velvety which was overly pleasant. It all went down a treat. My Colleague and I were served by Sharon. She was very welcoming and her customer service skills were on point. Even taught us abit about the history of Elham and future events that were up-coming. Very informative of the area. She was great. I highly recommend anyone visiting to pop in and have a look and taste for themselves. Honestly; when you’re grafting away all morning this is what you need, good comfort food! If I could give it 10 starts I would. Thanks again Sharon for making our experience the best.

Lovely place to dine or shop from local businesses - all in close proximity to the train station. We seemed to have visited on a particularly busy day, as they only had one table available for walk-ins (us). The kitchen seemed a bit overwhelmed as our food took forever to arrive, and we ended up dining there for 2.5 hours. Something to keep in mind if you're on a tight schedule. The food was great! We really enjoyed the confit pork belly, and we thought the mint butter paired really well with the pink fir potatoes. Didn't realise the 'roast chicken' was a salad when we ordered, but it was still pretty good.

Amazing restaurant and beautiful local produce market! The food at the restaurant was really fancy and absolutely delicious! Every meal was a real experience! They use local and seasonal ingredients sourced directly from the market. We ordered a 3-course meal which was definitely pricey but perfect for a celebration or special occasion. The staff a very attentive and very well organised. Booking a table is best as it gets very busy. The market is also very charming with fresh local veg, fish, meat, juice, cheese and other wonderful finds. Highly recommend and can't wait to be back!

The food was faultless - the crab starter was beautiful, my partner said the trout starter was the best trout he’d ever had and then the roast beef lunch was sensational. The young lady that served us was also lovely, so friendly and professional - refreshing. Would wholeheartedly recommend and this was my 234th Michelin meal so feel I can say that it was super! Credit to the team and a lovely pub setting

Staying in a nearby hotel for Christmas but had to come here as have heard so much about it. A few pubs in Bridge and this one seemed certainly very nice but typical of a good country pub. BUT tried only a bar snack and thought YES I get it. I want to come back and have a meal soon.

Lovely evening meal at The Black Robin. Great menu with specials board. Food was all top quality and we'll presented. Young staff were excellent and are a credit to this place. We booked a week in advance and every table was reserved in the restaurant area. They also have a lovely garden out the back and a car park to the side.

We celebrated a birthday dinner here and it was such a lovely experience. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The only issue we had was trying to find a parking space close by! So I’d recommend sharing cars if possible. We had the duck, burger, fish & chips and the lamb. All the dishes were full of flavour and were great portion sizes. The building itself is steeped in history that is really interesting.

We’re tourists in the area and this was the closest pub for dinner. To be honest I wasn’t expecting too much after seeing the photos of previous reviews for the food, but it was really really good (excuse my photos too lol). The service was first class and so so welcoming and great value for money to boot. AND dog friendly
