Reviews
My partner and I had a Sunday Roast yesterday with our one year old boy. I called around lunchtime to check if they were serving a roast dinner at around 5pm (many pubs in the area stop serving food by 3pm, so we were delighted that they were serving food still and had space for us. We arrived at around 4.30pm and had a drink in the garden which was lovely and peaceful. Shorty after, a friendly young waitress came out to ask if we were ready to order food. I ordered the pork belly and my partner ordered the lamb. We asked about the size of the portion as we planned on giving our baby some of ours as he doesn't have a huge appetite. The waitress assured us that the portions were definitely big enough. We didn't have to wait too long for our food to arrive. The portions were indeed very large and looked amazing. She also brought an extra plate for our baby. The food was hot and very tasty. You could buy two courses for £24, so we ordered a pudding too. It really was a beautiful meal which we all thoroughly enjoyed! The only small criticism was the Yorkshire pudding looked like it had come out of the freezer and wasn't very crispy, but not a big deal really. The pub itself is beautiful and the staff are attentive and friendly. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend for a Sunday Lunch 😊
Been here several times for drinks and food. Great outdoors spot in summer, and a cosy atmosphere with the fires going in winter. Varied menu and helpful in accommodating dietary requirements. Food is great tasting and generous, with a well chosen wine selection. The pub itself has much going for it, with exposed beams and historic wall sections on show. Always a good range of ales and ciders.
Lovely country pub with great food and a warm atmosphere. The staff were really attentive and friendly. Highly recommended!!
The Griffins Head, Chillenden offers visitors a chance to drink and dine in one of the countries oldest buildings. It has a warm friendly atmosphere with delicious food, sadly not available on Mondays and Tuesdays. The beer selection could also be better, however there is more to offer that what can be seen. On the first Sunday of every month they hold a classic car gathering, with vintage vehicles attending from across Kent. In winter the fires are lit, providing atmosphere and warmth. In summer there's a covered area at the back and lovely beer garden at the front. There's also an outdoor BBQ/ grill for those leisurely summer days. The food varies from season to season, but offers a good selection. Waiting on food can vary depending on how busy it is, due to staffing. There are three main areas where you can dine, including a large table, seating up to about 14 people in a private room to the rear, with feature fireplace. Overall I highly recommend giving this historic country pub a try.
Nice food, friendly staff, middle of nowhere, full of locals :-)
