One of the best roast dinners I’ve ever had. The turkey was moist and succulent, and the roast potato’s were beautifully crisp with a fluffy interior. I could eat the red cabbage in a bowl on its own. I would highly recommend going here for a roast. Don’t let the price put you off, the food is delicious and the portion sizes are very generous! The atmosphere in the pub was nice and really pleasant to have a lovely meal in. I would definitely go back on a Sunday for a roast, or a meal in the week.

The food here was delicious and big...like OMG big! We dined here in April and I opted for the sunday lunch. I opted for the turkey, which was moist and flavoursome. Served with x5 massive roasted potato, veggies, and yorkshire. We opted for additions of piggy in blankets and extra gravy. Their homemade gravy jus was blooming marvellous! It was very reasonable priced at £22 as the portions were huge! It was a shame they didn't offer cauliflower cheese every week - as its my fav! Apparently, it's a special now and again. Staff were friendly and polite, cute pub about x50 covers can be done in one sitting inside and a bar to chill at too. Beautiful large outside area, with stunning wisteria growing. I'm looking forward to coming back in the summer to try more of their lunch menus while in the sunshine! It also has its own carpark. Recommend by a friend and now recommending to you. We loved it, you won't be disappointed!

No words can sufficiently describe the Dove! Incredible food, the flavours were absolutely superb. 3 courses of excellent food. The service was friendly and attentive, without being overbearing. Lovely atmosphere, well styled. Highly recommended and can’t wait to go back.

A very nice meal. Starters were excellent. Both my wife and I felt the chicken main was too large but tasty. Dessert was very good. There are better options around at this price point, but a very enjoyable meal.

It was brilliant here. We came for my dads birthday and it was lovely. The car park was quite small but there were free spaces. On the outside the pud looked really nice and it was even better on the inside. We first had some complimentary bread which was nice and for starters we had the tacos. For main I had the lamb dish, which was lovely and delicious. My dad had the chicken dish which they said was also delicious. For dessert we had the eaten mess, which was amazing. The atmosphere here was really nice and the staff were kind and helpful. Overall I would highly recommend coming here.

I took my daughter who has coeliac for a birthday dinner. It was fantastic and the staff were very friendly and kind to my daughter. The onion rings are to die for and the puddings were particularly impressive. Many thanks for having us.

Fantastic. From entering the pub until leaving the service was excellent. Mad to feel very welcome. Had Sunday lunch and it was one of the best I have had for a long time. Food was amazing and plentiful. Roast pork and crackling gorgeous. Good selection of drinks. All in all a lovely cosy pub that is well worth a visit, cracking.

We went here after a walk but I’d had my eye on the pub for a while as I have coeliac disease and couldn’t wait to have a completely care free meal out! Will definitely be back as I need to try the sticky toffee pudding!

We stayed at the local camp site and thought we would give it a try for lunch. Nothing prepared us for the wonderful meal we had. Started off with a baked Camembert to share, followed by what can only be described as the best steak and kidney pudding we’d ever had. Portion sizes were also very generous so much so that we couldn’t fit in dinner that night. To add to this, we were able to take our dog with us. Staff were very friendly. A good experience all round and we would highly recommend.

Fantastic cosy little family run pub. Delicious home cooked food. Friendly staff. We were staying at Painters Farm Campsite just a 5 min walk away and had a delicious evening meal, and a lunchtime drink here. The steak and kidney pudding was one of the best I've ever had!

I came here for a Sunday lunch and it was lovely. I went with the pork loin roast and it was deliciously moist. The roast potato’s were cooked to perfection, with a beautiful crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. As a special they had cheese leeks for a side which I tried as well. They were absolutely delicious and I would highly recommend getting them. The whole meal was great value for money and the prices are very reasonable for what you get!

A lovely village pub in a fantastic part of the countryside. I stopped off there whilst on a bike ride, I locked my bike up outside and went in to enjoy a very tasty Cajun burger and a pint of Birra Moretti. The service was good, the food was brought out promptly and I was made to feel very welcome. I plan to go back and enjoy their hospitality again, but maybe next time I will sit in the beer garden and enjoy the sunshine (when the weather improves).

When You are here in Faversham have a rest at the bear inn! Simply good! This pub is so wonderful British! We were glad to be here. ...and taste the glorious SHEPHERD NEAME, which comes from here! As a German I like a good beer - especially Pilsner, but when I'm in England I only drink local! Of course! On my first England trip many years ago SHEPHERD NEAME was the first English beer I ever had, unforgettable! "Spitfire" is my favorite but a Master Brew is also very nice! AND: Don't drink when You must drive!!

I just love this pub! Food, service and atmosphere are always perfect in an old characterful building. Reasonable prices, no frills just a good old fashioned pub. Recommend booking for Sunday lunch as always popular and on our last visit the super lovely chef came out of the kitchen to talk to me about vegan options which I really appreciated, thank you!

The Bear does it again! Brilliant Saturday and Sunday lunch. If they had rooms, we could just move in. To top it all, lovely roast potatoes just put on the bar, no charge, for everyone to enjoy. If you want to experience a proper home cooked British meal you need to go no further than The Bear. Great selection of beer and wine. Real sense of family run establishment. How lucky we are to have this marvellous boozer on our doorstep.

This is a beautiful restaurant with excellent service. The interior has historic exposed beams, an open fire, heavy wooden tables and very tasteful decor. The cocktails are outstanding! Truly excellent mixology. The food is good - but not as good as expected. The burger was overdone, the sole was slightly undercooked, the oysters were small and had a milky deposit on one I’ve never seen in an oyster before. We were brought the three fish dishes with regular sides instead of the Sunday roast sides as was offered and requested. Our food was also served at different times due to the dietary requirements of one. I think this place is amazing though and want to come back to retry the food as the sprays were excellent. The rooms of the restaurant are divided up in a way that they feel intimate despite having plenty of spaces. The bathrooms are very ‘pub’ style - they don’t do the restaurant justice in terms of space, fittings, comfort, capacity or class. I’ll be back.

Found this treasure after a long day travelling. From our phone call asking about availability to arriving and eating, the staff were friendly and attentive. The food was imaginative and well presented and we appreciated being allowed to park our camper in the rear carpark so we could relax without worrying about driving afterwards.

I have been attending this dental practice for over a year now and it’s only been the last 6 months I have been confident enough to start work on my smile, and teeth due to first I needed a root canal. All I can say is I was so scared, but my Dentist “DR MOONIS” was incredible, I have build up a close bond as he has been so understanding and caring of my worries but I didn’t feel a thing, a root canal is performed in 2 stages and the second stage he said I won’t need a numbing injection as I won’t feel it and he was completely correct. Now after that is done we are now move on to correction of my smile, and the best part is he talks you through each stage in great detail and doesn’t just do the work and leave you for a next check up, he cares truly for his work and clients and I’m truly grateful he is my dentist as the work he has done is amazing, once my teeth are finished I will up load a before and after. He has his work cut out with my teeth. :)

Absolutely lovely food and lovely service. We were in there today with our baby and staff were amazing. So attentive. They helped us get the baby in the high chair as we had no idea what we were doing. They gave her a snack and were really great when she got upset for milk. They were adamant that we didn’t have to clear up the food she dropped - but I will always clean up after her! All in all a wonderful family brunch trip - often people can be negative towards young babies when we go for food but you guys were great. Thank you again. We will definitely be back for a roast too - because that looked amazing!

This place is our go to, and it should be yours if you’re in the area! The staff are wonderful, the chefs are faultless and the food is amazing! The prices are fair and if your kids are good they might just get a lolly when you pay 🍭 I have been going here for as many years as I can remember, and I’ve never had anything less than a perfect experience. Get yourself down there, you can thank me later

Delicious tuna salad ! Generous portions with some juicy olives, light coleslaw and red onion. Always such good friendly service. And their coffee is the best in the town! . I often grab a cappuccino on my way to work and I always choose Moonlight over other cafes for my early morning pick up. Fab cafe !

Lovely little cafe , unfortunately they weren’t serving food as it was late-ish for them but the staff were really nice. The coffee the lovely lady made was perfect and rather surprising the milk they used agreed completely with me. Generally it has an after taste, but this one was pretty unique. It’s a clean, charming place too. Looks rather reasonable in price too.

Really great pub here! The food was divine and the garden is a good size, came here for a friends birthday I would deffo recommend. Only missing 1 star simply because my food order was missed and took a fair while to get it but everyone else was served promptly 😊 They also have the alcohol free gin which was lovely to see as not many places have the 0% options

We had some lunch here. The food was good and the young lady Summer who was serving us was really excellent! Most of the dishes are beef b It wasn't very loud around the time we were there. Had a good chat and later on we found out that one of us won a raffle too! It was an added bonus! They were getting ready for the Halloween!

Came across this pub when on the hunt for Sunday roast and so glad we did. Excellent staff that were welcoming and friend. Mainly a meat menu (unsurprisingly as it’s called the Cow Shed!) but still had veggie gravy when requested. We had roast dinners and they did not disappoint, so yummy I forgot to take a photo. They were accommodating with food variation like no butter on the veg or two plates for the kids to share their food and our requests for extra apple sauce for our large group 😊. They have super cute events on the lead up to Christmas with gingerbread decorating and Santa coming for breakfast! The team also do pop up catering. I would suggest this to anyone needing a place for food without the loud music and still load of character, locals and atmosphere. P.S try the Frickles I dare you!

Such a cool venue! As someone car obsessed this is an awesome spot. But the food… I spoke to one of the young chefs and his passion for food was amazing. He was telling me about creating this bhaji scotch egg. Which was insane! Will definitely be back. Lovely & friendly team who are super helpful too. Highly recommend.

We’ve been here a few times now and really enjoy travelling down in our 1998 Rover 800. The atmosphere is always great and there are always a variety of customers! We’ve been in the week and on a Sunday which showed just how well this place caters for everyone from younger customers to older ones and families! We have been with our dog and newborn daughter. I have always felt comfortable there to feed her but ladies there is a comfy chair in the toilet and a changing station in the loo too. The staff are great and so welcoming. No complaints on the food either - it’s great. Ultimately it’s a great place with lovely staff and a good atmosphere catering for every customer! We look forward to coming again soon.

Great place with a real vibe to it, super friendly staff and lots of parking for bikes/cars which seems to be their main clientele. Has great outdoor space/beer garden. It's clean well maintained and well appointed. Food is decent and they have a few gluten free options available including Sunday roast. They have biker pins/stickers too if you like collecting them.

Found this lovely pub today. The landlord was very welcoming and the waitress so friendly. After having a difficult choice to make as the menu was so tempting. I decided on the liver and bacon which was absolutely delicious. Creamy mash and tasty onions. My friend went for the lamb and mint pie which she said that she couldn’t fault. A lovey fire burning and a cosy atmosphere. Will definitely be back if I can find it again. Thank you.

We heard it was possible to sleep in our little campervan overnight so I called to ask. The person who answered the phone was so welcoming and kind and said we could. Thank you ever so much!! The pub itself is beautiful and although we were a bit late so the kitchen was closed when we got there, we still had a little drink and could see the people around us really enjoying their meals. We will 100% be back to try the food. Thank you once again for letting us stay! 😀
