We had lunch at the Small Holding today and it was an absolutely tremendous meal. Firstly we were brought some snacks to eat on the balcony with a pre-lunch drink. Then we were taken inside to the full acre (8 course) lunch. There were two starters, two fish courses, two main courses and two desserts. Every dish was wonderful. It is difficult to pick out a favourite, but I thought that the first dessert of Blackcurrant Leaf, Buttermilk and Elderberry was one of the best desserts I have ever eaten. That didn't last long though because the second dessert of Yoghurt Whey, Black Apple and Custard was at least equally good. The wine list was unusual and composed mainly of British wines. The staff were very friendly and easy and had time for a friendly chat. I can't recommend this restaurant highly enough. We will certainly be back as soon as possible, The photographs show most of the courses, but I was so enthusiastic about the food that a couple of times I forgot to photograph it before we started

From a first look around the restaurant’s kitchen garden to the final dessert after 9 amazing courses the whole establishments focus on quality, taste, sustainability and shear love of food and wine shone through. We have been to a handful of Michelin star restaurants over the last few years and The Small Holding knocked those out of the park.

What an incredible meal. We did the farm tour beforehand which was fantastic and really added to the whole experience. The food was impeccable – thank you for such a brilliant lunch.

We have just arrived home from our evening at the small holding and wow where do I start. As someone who works in the industry you have high expectations for places like these and so often they dont fully live up to the hype. Not this place! From the service to the food to the wine everything was exceptional. The thought and attention that goes into every dish and the passion from the team really shows. Cant wait for our next visit. Do yourself a favour and order the ice wine for dessert.

21st birthday dinner, This was mine and my partners second time at the small holding and it didn’t miss a beat. On arrival we enjoyed some local English wine on the terrace overlooking the humble yet picturesque farm. The food was outstanding with the highlights for me being the scallop dish and the berry dessert. This berry dessert with garden herb sorbet was the best dessert I’ve ever experienced. The balance of this dish was truly exceptional and a real testament to a very talented chef. The service was excellent with attentive, but not too overbearing, hosts. The hosts are always very kind and we love the conversations we get with them throughout the evening. Each dish is presented and explained table side by either very knowledgeable hosts or the chefs themselves. The drinks served, that were made in house, were just impeccable. The atmosphere of the restaurant is cozy and inviting. The music is just the correct volume especially for my partner who has hearing loss, she was still able to hear me and the hosts perfectly. Overall this restaurant never misses a beat, a combination of a fantastic chef team, fantastic hosts and home grown/local ingredients, all in a beautiful setting. We will be back… :)

Almost Decided to visit a reasonably new venue. It was quite quiet the night we visited (friday) The menu is quite short but most were things I would be delighted to eat. We decided to have different courses to spread the experience. The Amuse bouche was a wonderful summer Gazpacho. Starters were squid (mine) and prawns (friend). Both really nice dishes, the squid for me was my meal highlight. Quite liked my lamb rump but personally not a fan of the minestrone veg. My panna cotta was superb. Front of house was really nice, didn't get much contact with chef. It was a lovely meal, great food almost there. Word of caution Steps down to toilets are very steep and not deep, a bit of a challenge for the less mobile. Non alcoholic cocktails were a little weak for my taste.

We were there in July 2024 and wanted to eat scones with clotted cream. Unfortunately, the owner was in the process of closing the store. Nevertheless, she let us in and fulfilled our wishes. And it was VERY VERY tasty! She then chatted with us for a while (despite my poor English) and we would like to thank her again for the food and the friendliness!

Lovely owner run and managed cafe. Booked for brunch on a wet Easter Monday. Glad we reserved as it’s a small place and we were a big party. Lovely menu for big and little kids alike. We were greeted with a lovely smile and seated quickly. Orders were taken quickly. Drinks came quickly. Food was a little slower as it’s freshly made but well worth the wait. Cooked Breakfast and pancakes are highly recommended. Coffee and tea is excellent. Juice is standard carton stuff but pleasant enough. The owner Chloe and her team are lovely and welcoming and clearly very accommodating for small, large and single guests plus dogs. It’s also a very inclusive cafe which accommodates people with disabilities. Lovely find and highly recommended for all. A local gem.

Wonderful restaurant! The food is absolutely delicious. You can taste the quality of every herb and every spice. Beautiful food and so authentic. The spanakopita reminded me of when I was on holiday in Thessaloniki, Greece. The owners are so friendly, so welcoming and we chatted to them for over half an hour. My mum and I had the perfect evening!

I visited the buzz on the pantiles in T - wells the other week and thought as I was in the area I would check out their sister restaurant in Cranbrook, unfortunately it was fully booked ( my own fault for not booking ) but I was told to pop down the road to their other building named The Hive ( co-working unit/coffee lounge ) for coffee and cake. When I arrived I discovered they had a lovely coffee snug! It was so wonderful, lovely coffee and cakes, the young man working was so accommodating and the chilled Motown music nearly sent me to sleep as I was so relaxed. Lovely experience once again, keep up the amazing work

Absolutely loved this place. We were a group of 8 cyclist just looking for a coffee and cake. The lady serving on her own wasn't phased by us just walking in without notice. She was really pleasant and quick serving us coffees and delicious cakes. Very quirky café. 10 /10.

Amazing place to work from situated at the historic Pantiles the building has been restored to a top quality finnish. The building has been tastefully decorated, the balcony/terrace overlooking the Pantiles is the perfect place to sit and have lunch. The management couldn't be helpful or friendly.

Having searched high and low for the perfect venue for my social media workshops, Emma has delivered a fantastic and exciting co-working space with conference room facilities. The hot-desking options are flexible and high specced enabling local entrepreneurs to be part of a larger business environment. Recommend highly.

Dog-friendly, family-friendly, great value, excellent food and service. We keep going back for more. What more of a recommendation can there be? Fabulous choice of breakfast, brunch, lunch (and cakes, if you're sweet-toothed) for carnivores to vegans. Can't praise it enough.

Delicious coffee and amazing panini. I had the toated tuna melt. It was one of the most delicious paninis I've ever had! The addition of apple and celery was very tasty. (Generous portion size too) The cafe has a very arty vibe, each table decorated differently and art on the walls. The place is bigger than you think, so don't be put off if the place looks full through the window. Though I'd probably book ahead next time just to be sure.

I've been wanting to visit The Greedy Goat Cafe for a while now! It wasn't overly easy to find and only had a sign out the front to indicate where it was.. but what a hidden gem! The chef apparently was not very well, from the conversation they were having with other visitors (nothing catching I hope..!) But the food was delicious! Beans could have been a little warmer, but everything was cooked beautifully! I'd definitely visit again! Hope the chef feels better soon!

I've read a couple of bad reviews about this place and fortunately many others very positive. My personal experience has been very positive indeed: sat down for a coffee, relaxing atmosphere and lovely, available staff. I need to say coffee quality is above average (Illy coffee is advertised) and cost was as expected for being in the main Cranbrook strip. Oh, and they accept dogs, which is a strong additional 'plus' for coming again.

We went for a full breakfast on Sunday morning which was lovely and service great. I forgot my handbag and only realised when I was miles away. I called and they assured me it’s safe. Molly was so kind to send it back by post making sure there’s nothing valuable in there (luckily it wasn’t). She sent it back to me free of charge even though I was happy to cover for the effort and postage. Thanks so much for going over and beyond for a total stranger as we were just visiting the area xx

Sat in a town with expensive shops and boutiques is this practical cafe where you would feel at home having a breakfast plate or a cup of tea and cake . The prices are very affordable too . The staff are lovely and the toilets are clean , as is the cafe . I had a brunch breakfast which was endless so I gave up with a dozen or so chips to go . Just off the A21 so a good pit stop with 2 hrs free parking in Waitrose car park a couple of hundred yards away

Very friendly, I ordered a egg, sausage and bacon sandwich which came exactly what I asked for. I ask for a soft egg/runny egg with salt and pepper. Tasted great but I asked for a dash of mayo but they gave a lot more then a dash. Still taste great though.

Just had a wonderful coffee and browse at Taywell Farm Shop. Perfect for fresh produce, a lovely open air setting and delicious coffee. I’ve picked up some great local wine and a gift for family, after enjoying a fantastic coffee overlooking the Kent countryside. Made all the more delightful by meeting some of the staff who were all welcoming, friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back to visit the coffee shop (round the back of the Farmshop) for more!

Great pit stop. Fab farm shop with great produce. Fresh sausage rolls. Salads and sandwiches. Cakes looked good. Good coffee sold from silver airstream. There is a new cafe The Lodge around to the rear. Lots of indoor seating, did not eat there. Loos. The outside seating areas need some TLC. And the 'path' to the Lodge cafe was very rocky and stony.
