Really lovley friendly people, dog friendly, and there's a nice little garden out back to sit in! I definitely recommend the fish finger sandwich! :)

My husband and I were sleep deprived, we were so hungry and our two young children were kicking off…the owners couldn’t have been kinder and our New York sandwich was delicious. The croissant they made our children had a heart made out of cucumbers on the side which nearly made me cry which goes to show how burned out we were but how grateful we were too. It really is the small things that go a long way and I highly recommend Bojangles. The coffee was really nice with a decent foam. Even after my toddler having a meltdown, I don’t feel too embarrassed to go back which speaks volumes.

I had a super Breakfast Bagel. It was filled with bacon,egg and cheese,not the sliced plastic stuff either, and a pot of tea. My friend had smoked salmon and scrambled eggs on sourdough. We both made Mmmm noises as we appreciated the gorgeous breakfast. Very welcoming staff,but I understand it's best to book as it's become so popular. I'd give it 10/10 Well done Bojangles 👍🏻

We had our first ever Christmas Day lunch at a restaurant at the Vineyard today. We had a lovely time. Louise and her team were very welcoming, professional and really looked after us. The food was excellent as was the service. The ambience was also lovely. We would definitely go there again for Christmas Day lunch and would recommend it. Thank you the Vineyard for making our Christmas Day lunch special.

This restaurant is an absolute gem. The food is excellent and the chef really knows his stuff. The menus change with the seasons. Tonight we had scallops with the silkiest buerre blanc sauce, the crab meat and smoked salmon, steak Diane (cooked perfectly, melt in the mouth), Vineyard Chicken and the roasted cauliflower. For desserts we had the raspberry burnt cream with chocolate eclair and caramelised banana, all really tasty and beautifully presented. I really like the addition of flowers. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. I have been twice now and have had the best experience each time. The restaurant does both set menus and A La Carte. They have a lovely vegan offering too. Wines range in price from around £20 and the list is extensive and interesting. They also have a great range of cocktails and mocktails. If you haven’t tried this restaurant out yet, then I highly recommend you do.

Lovely little campsite cafe very tidy and quiet when we visited. Food is good and plenty and prices are decent. Free parking is a bonus and there is space to explore!

Good food and good beer and friendly staff. Also very dog friendly. Visited again, usually go once a week whilst dog walking. Today went for dinner and had by request roasted tomato and red pepper soup which was fantastic, followed by pie of the day, beef and mushroom today and it was brilliant. Wholeheartedly recommend this pub.

Update 2024 December Had the Christmas set menu which was fantastic, the traditional turkey was fine and portion size was huge, so don't eat anything before your meal. I personally thought it was couple of quid over priced. Don't get me wrong the food was good and service was out standing. The bar staff worked very hard so give them a good tip. UPDATE December 2023 Had our Christmas meal here. Great service and friendly staff. But to be honest personally I was disappointed with the mushroom soup, Christmas meal was good but could have been hotter. Still have a number of good range of real beers. Good range of draught beers, food and service excellent. Would have been nicer if the restaurant area had been warmer. Service in the normal bar area was sporadic.

Any pub that is open smack on 11am gets five stars. Great pub with great history

Took advantage of the take away roast dinner offering. Food was well packaged and hot. Portion sizes were perfect. Beef and lamb was good quality and a large variety of vegetables included. Would recommend.

The best brownie in Kent? I’d say so. The desserts served at The Hungry Guest are sublime: Care, attention to detail and presentation, all boxes ticked. What about taste? I had to focus on stopping my eyes from rolling in their sockets like a fruit machine’s spinners after sampling a taste of the brownie. Food that has this response on the inner workings of the mind scare and excite. The Hungry Guest is a modern, charming, romantic venue. Staff are warm and down to earth. Food prices are spot on for Kent. Best of all they have an excellent La Marzocco espresso machine; it creates beautiful Italian coffees to complement after-dessert contemplation.

I’ve been drinking coffee, enjoying meals, and entertaining friends & family at the Hungry Guest for years. Everything is always fantastic, and the staff always go above and beyond whenever they can. Weekends are always jam packed, however I’ll guarantee the wait will always be worth it! Highly recommended their brunch, and definitely treat yourself to any of their cakes - personally a big fan of their cookies!

This pub dates back to 1378. It’s a low beamed building so watch your head. Menu was good and food delicious. Staff helpful and friendly. There was a real fireplace burning. It’s a very kids friendly and dog friendly place. Customer car park round the back and beer garden for warmer months.

We spent Christmas Day at The Angel. We had such a lovely time. The 3 course food was excellent and the service was so aware this enabled us to relax and enjoy. We were the last to leave as we were having such a good time. The stable area was decorated amazingly and set out to make the Christmas spirit. Well done and thank you.

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.

Not widely known that this great cafe is open to the public. Good food friendly staff. So close to Kent's renowned research orchards.

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

A fine cafe providing a range of hot and cold food along with similar drinks. Service provided in friendly surroundings. Very tastey local apple juice well worth trying!
