We had a lovely 3 course meal here. Everything was just right staff, surroundings and food. Very reasonable pricing for the quality of food would definitely return.

It feels like you’re travelling to the middle of nowhere only to find this pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. What a lovely place to have a drink or dinner. I did both! Lots of charm & cute decor making the pub feel cosy. The staff are so friendly & welcoming. The food was delicious plus really good value. Will definitely be back again.

Just came back from a Halloween party at The Hook and Hatchet in Hucking. Our kids, aged between seven and ten, had an amazing time. We booked dinner, and the party started at five with a high-quality disco and games for the kids. They gave our kids a party bag on arrival, which was a really nice touch, and the atmosphere was fantastic. The party games were brilliant. I would highly recommend this evening to anyone with kids who enjoy Halloween parties! Plenty of candy was given out throughout the evening, and even some at the bar. It’s great to see a pub host such a fun event for kids. At 8 o’clock, it turned into an adult party. We also come here often for breakfast on the weekends. It’s one of the best breakfasts I’ve ever had, offering great value for money and wonderful surroundings. If you have a dog, it’s completely dog-friendly, with great walks on your doorstep in the estate. I can’t recommend this place highly enough. Well done, guys!

Met up here for a bite to eat and was greeted by a sign saying bikers get a free curry on Tuesday! Being Thursday this was of no use but definitely an interesting marketing tool that after talking to some regulars apparently it works well so I'll definitely be visiting again. The barmaid was lovely and couldn't of been more helpful. The food was great and we didn't wait long . The place has a real homely feeling about it and you can tell it's been maintained with pride. Very dog friendly with a massive garden and a huge stage area so summer nights would be fun I'd imagine. See you next time

I've been coming here for decades. If course the ownership and the pub have changed but it's always been good and it's now the best it has ever been. A warm welcome, well kept ale and great food. They serve proper pies not ceramic bowls with a pastry lid. A proper fire, a campsite, accommodation and digs welcomed. Perfect.

Decided to try a regular ‘The Woodstock’ full english breakfast and a Cappuccino at the Woodstock Coffee Shop near Maidstone and really enjoyed my visit; the Sausage, Hash Brown, bacon and toast were all absolutely great and the lady who welcomed me was very friendly. It was a wet day when I visited but it looks as though the bifold doors can be opened when it is sunny or sit at one of the patio tables. Lots of parking too which was a bonus. Recommended!

Had heard good things about this cafe so stopped off for breakfast after an early morning appointment at Maidstone Hospital. From the moment we walked in we were struck by the friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Good choice of food and service was quick and efficient. Breakfast was very good and well presented. Coffee was great too. All good value for money. Will definitely be popping back here.

Lovely little cafe, quite small inside looks like it has double the seating in the summer opening up to outside too. Had a really good breakfast sandwich, soft bread plenty of filling, will be heading back when I'm nearby again.

Great little café with very friendly staff. We were greeted promptly and then seated. The server explained everything to us, and when we received our food, the chef came put to make sure everything was to our liking. I strongly suggest a visit!

This place was a little hard to find at first, but I am glad I did. It is a lovely cafe with very polite and caring staff. A few good plant based and vegetarian options available with generous portion sizes. Although the food did not have any creative twists or flavours, you could tell it was made with care - it was quite simple and familiar instead. There is a pleasant view onto the fields and possibility to bring a not-too-big well-behaved dog. I will be coming back.

Nice breakfast, I opted for a set breakfast of sausage, two rashers of bacon, chips, beans, toast and a fried egg along with a can of drink for £9.00. Some of the chips were a little overcooked/crunchy but the rest of the breakfast was nice. They operate a loyalty scheme of a free meal once you have collected 8 stamps from paid meals, they have the same offer regarding drinks too. They have customer toilets which were clean and in decent condition. If you found this review helpful please click on the heart icon, thanks.

What can I say…. This cafe is amazing . Popped in while walking past and ordered 2 set breakfasts and two cans of cherry coke. Our order was taken by a attentive waitress and when the food turned up it was just what we needed , not greasy and cooked to perfection. Keep up the good work cafe Riviera . Five ⭐️

Lovely place good for a meal with the fellas, lovely atmosphere, only have two issues. 1. Chips are slightly overcooked but still are delicious. 2. The playlist needs a little more reggae

Firstly, absolutely beautiful food. We had the soup, lamb, crab tacos and the pie followed by deserts. All top class and faultless. Lovely atmosphere in the pub. Secondly, the room was amazing. Panoramic views of the countryside and far reaching views of the sea. Breakfast was also amazing, which was delivered to us at the morning. Excellent service and staff. We will definitely be returning, next time with the pooches!

It's one of the best gastropubs in Kent. We have been served by Emily. The service was excellent so as the food. The staff made every effort to make us feel welcome. The scotch eggs were cooked to perfection. Such a lovely place... Will definitely return

We stayed at the Plough Inn last weekend and would highly recommend it. From the picturesque surroundings to the high quality accommodation. The food was fantastic and we were really well looked after. The staff were lovely; both friendly and accommodating. We would definitely go back. Thanks for a lovely weekend! Look forward to seeing you again.

Outstanding venue! Excellent value for our accommodation because it was out of season and they’re looking to build trade. We didn’t eat there because although the food looked to be high quality it was unaffordable, given that the variety of food on offer was no different from the normal pub offer. For example, four small portions of bread cost £4.50, yet when I bought a whole loaf it was £4.00. Porridge alone for breakfast would have cost £6.00! Fortunately we had taken our own food to support my dietary requirements.

We went for a mid week lunch on a gloomy November day. Lovely old pub with a log fire and lovely food and service. Food took a little while but think as all done very fresh. A lovely sausages and mash for £15 and attentive and friendly service. Would recommend and will be going again!

We didn’t stay there. But had really great dinner! We have tried Vebison (deer) and meet was really great! The dish in general was amazing! Great amount of food, and it was very delicious! We also tried different drinks, ginger beer was nice. My colleagues got cocktails and beer and we all were happy with the place. Place itself very well decorated!

I have been staying at the Black Horse a lot in the past few months because it's a brilliant establishment. Firstly the Black Horse Inn is a beautiful pub. It has great food, friendly staff and lovely aesthetics. Secondly, the hotel is unique, always clean and priced fairly. The reception staff are always really friendly and make you feel so welcome. Highly recommend this place if you're staying in the local area or fancy going out somewhere for a nice dinner!

Just had 3 really, really, enjoyable nights at the BHI. Wonderful location, went on two lovely runs in the area directly on to the North Downs Way. Rooms were fine, great bath and shower, plenty of space. Lovely food, dinner and breakfast were great, in a wonderful atmospheric pub. (Amazing mushrooms at breakfast!) Lovely staff across the board , helpful, friendly, welcoming from reception, to the owner, to the cat, to the wait staff - all lovely. My one, single improvement point would be to have fresh coffee for breakfast over instant. Would absolutely come back - thank you for a lovely friendly stay.

I was here for a complimentary overnight stay and was very wowed. Though getting here was a challenge from the train station, no local taxi service or Uber available, no walking paths, best bet is to drive! We waited for a while before the hotel then sent some of their colleagues who eventually picked us up. From the moment we drove into the grounds, it was stunning. Such a pleasurable group of staff who catered for our needs efficiently! We got checked into our rooms (each room has its own theme and no one room is alike) I stayed in the main building however there are nice cost cottages for families with kids etc The dinner was amazingly spectacular! Beautifully curated by their chef 😋🤤 So so great tasting honestly, he grows his own herbs and vegetables used and products are sourced locally from farms. They have their own bees that produce honey and lambs on the grounds. With vast acres of grounds, a lake, converted stable, conference and meeting rooms, private dining spaces, and so much more...this is one hotel that feels like a family home. The staff are happy and the guests seem happy too. The closest train station is lenham from London Victoria. The breakfast was beautifully presented to my room with so much to eat and their afternoon tea is one of the best around there. They host large outdoor events as they have the capacity for it. You will be pleasantly surprised with little touches of care and professional hospitality when you visit. We had a wine tasting dinner which was pretty good though I am non alcoholic 😊 the mocktail was lovely 😍 I recommend for all your event types as staff is happy to accommodate and tailor their services to your request.

My wife and I attended an 80th birthday party for my father in-law.The event was mainly planned by Becky.My sister in law was able to access the rooms beforehand to decorate and Becky kindly assisted which she was very grateful for. The room looked amazing but it was also the amazing service provided by herself and all the other staff at the hotel. The service was wonderful. kiera and Becky looked after us making us all feel at home.There are too many names to mention they were excellent.Thank you for making it such a special day.

A wonderful time staying here for the night. It was reasonably priced which meant the experience could go either way (good or bad) after reading the reviews I decided to book and very unusually the great reviews were right….the staff here absolutely make the place. The gentleman on checking couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful. The standout here however is the bar/restaurant which although pricey is outstanding….many restaurants these days promise fine dining and forget that includes the service as well. Matt in the restaurant deserves a shout out of his own, his attention to detail while serving was impeccable. Service with style. The grounds in the hotel are jaw dropping….our visit was winter with a howling gale outside (which did make the hotel feel more cosy) but during summer I’m guessing this hotel is absolutely beautiful with grounds to stroll around. Rooms are very nice if slightly dated….(that’s my only criticism) for me the rest of the hotel well and truly made up for this. Oh and the fast WiFi worked everywhere….why do so many hotels drop this now vital ball? I will stay here for business trips now too.

For an Xmas treat I took my girlfriend & my parents (50th wedding anniversary celebration) to Chilston Manor to stay in feature rooms (Regency & Hogarth) along with an evening meal. I have to say the whole experience was above and beyond what we were xpecting. Everything from the welcome to the cocktails, food to the walk around the grounds was exceptional. Thankyou to you all for making our stay just seem magical, it was a time that will live long in my memory. We laughed, ate, drank and discussed to the early morning and then some. Just simply amazing.

One of my closest friends and I chose the visit this pub after both having a rather tough week. On arrival we saw a sign that said a ‘warm welcome was awaiting from Stewart’ and he did not disappoint! His welcome into the pub had that personal touch which made us feel immediately comfortable and happy with our choice to visit. I have been several times over the years but this was my best visit yet. The food was excellent, served quickly on a busy Friday night and tasted excellent from grazing dishes all through to dessert. We were served by Jane who was attentive, friendly and always polite. I had the duck pizza (adding bacon made it even better) and the honeycomb dome for pudding which was delicious. I will definitely visit again and thank all the staff for their excellent service.

The pub and rooms were all great. The staff friendly and attentive. We had some lovely food. Our room was one of the newer additions. It was roomy and decorated to a high standard. We was in billecart. The only thing missing was a magnified mirror, which I know is in some of the other rooms. The hotel itself is in a peaceful, quiet location with nothing around so if you wanted to go out,then there was nothing to really wall to. We enjoyed our stay and if you have good weather the outside space is where you want to be!!

We have stayed here many times, in a few different rooms but we must say the Lodge is a personal favourite, as it is extra private and further away from the other rooms If you’re lucky you’ll see the rabbits running along the field from the outdoor hot tub OR the indoor spa bath! The food here is AMAZING as well, we always go for steak (sometimes lobster too) and breakfast and a bottle of champagne is included in every stay! There are lots of options at breakfast as well as the food is all locally sourced which we appreciate! The location is far out of the way which we like but you do have to drive through country lanes to get here but it is 100% worth it!

Me and my boyfriend stayed here to celebrate his birthday. We stayed in the Dom Suite and had the most amazing time. The room was unreal, so much detail and so spacious. The hot tub in the room was gorgeous and the hot tub outside was just perfect. Everything was so cozy, quiet and peaceful. We ordered room service and the food was 10/10. I had separately booked for the room to be decorated through “Party with Mrs P” on Instagram and we were so so happy with the decorations. We will definitely be staying here again and will 100% recommend PartyWithMrsP to my friends and family.
