We had our small intimate wedding at Frasers. My husband & I could not have asked for a more perfect setting for our special day. Jo and her team were exceptional in all that they did. I booked the absolutely stunning Pond cottage for the night before with my sisters. It was the perfect place to stay and prepare for becoming a bride:). From the moment we arrived we were taken care of. Thank you Jim (the chef ) for cooking a wonderful evening meal and serving us :). Thank you Jo, & your team. You are wonderful and looked after us, ensuring every fine detail of our stay and wedding was absolutely perfect. We choose to have our intimate ceremony in the gardens, this was followed by an absolutely delicious afternoon tea for our 30 guests in the most stunning barn resturant and a wonderfully relaxing several hours in a private garden with outside bar with family. We couldnt have asked for a better day & setting for our wedding. Thank you everyone for making our day absolutely perfect. Love Jim & Trish

Lovely experience enjoying an afternoon tea with a glass of bubbles! Really good service and excellent food, some of the best we have had. The gluten-free request for one of us was no problem and of exceptional quality, especially the scones, which are challenging to get right, but these were great. We really enjoyed ourselves.

My Husband and I 😁 got married recently, in a small intimate ceremony with just our immediate family. From the first meeting Lisa completely got what we wanted and along with Jo, Ben and the rest of the team they created the most PERFECT day. We got married on the Stags barn lawn with a beautiful countryside back drop, the food and drinks that followed were incredible and every person who attended commented on how amazing it was. I have always loved Frasers and on the multiple occasions we have stayed or eaten, it has never disappointed. I cannot recommend Frasers enough!

We went for the festive afternoon tea and it was the best we've ever had. The food was amazing and worth the price. The staff were really friendly and in a lovely setting - you can see why they win all the awards they do. Our only small grumble is the driveway - I've never seen so many potholes! But well worth the bumpy journey to get there.

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!

Fantastic hotel. We booked the Grand Piano room and wow! The quality of the room was amazing. Every detail had been thought of and it was just pure luxury. We would definitely recommend this hotel for a night away. Thank you.

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.

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!!

Just had an amazing stay at this lovely cosy pub/hotel the room was really big and has a lovely log effect fireplace and it overlooks the village and beautiful church. The pub it self is so warm and cosy with the logs burning away giving you the cosy warm feeling as you walk in. The staff and service is great too. We 💯 percent recommend staying and we are looking forward to our next visit soon when we visit our family.

Fantastic, genuine English Pub-Inn. We got a free upgrade (to room 8). This was a beautiful, large room with nice bathroom. Very clean and comfortable. Little downside (although it didn’t bother us): the room was located above the pub and there was some noise to be heard. But that ended well before our bedtime (about 23 hrs) The room had a wonderful view of the little townsquare in front of the pub. Dinner was good, breakfast excellent with a wide choice (besides English breakfast also Eggs Benedict, Eggs Florentine etc). The hotel also had free parking behind the hotel which was very convenient.

We stayed at the Dog & Bear as a stop on our group walking the North Downs Way. Lenham is a perfect stop on the way. Vicki checked us and she is very friendly and helpful immediately making us feel comfortable and welcome. The rooms are comfortable and clean with a Nespresso coffee machine and other teas and coffee. The food is good and the staff friendly. Highly recommended.

Popped in while in the area and was greeted by a very bubbly lady who was extremely polite/friendly I went for the standard cod n chips it was a lovely chunky fillet of fish cooked to perfection with a very generous amount of chips the curry sauce was delicious. I couldn’t finish it all but certainly gave it a good go the shop was very busy for a lunch time will definitely pop in again if in the area

Went here on a Friday night for a family dinner. Not too busy and had a good atmosphere. The fish and chips was clearly the most popular item on the menu so will have to try that next time. The scallops I had to start were delectable and the stone bass did not disappoint

Popped in for a big breakfast, was not disappointed. High price point, £15 with a cup of tea. The burger was a bit odd but was nice, sausages looked cheap but were tasty.

We always try to pop in and grab lunch when we are passing on the A20. All the food is freshly baked and delicious. Staff are always friendly. There is convenient free parking close to the bakery in the village centre.

Was working nearby and used the shop on both days to purchase rolls for lunch. They were great and good value. On the second day, they went and made one for me as my choice was not already made.

I wish there were more businesses left like this. Happened to be going past and popped in. The quality of the baking is excellent, proper old-school service and very reasonably priced. The smell of fresh baking and the two ladies serving meant it could be from a novel. I will go out of my way to come back. Love it

Ordered a mocha however it was so sweet I was only able to have a few sips. The bagel however was soft and lots of creamy cheese which is really nice. I had the salmon bagel and it was nice. Edit review : went back for brunch had the mocha again but this time asked for half sugar and it was perfect . Again had the salmon bagel was still really nice .

This chinese is the localist best one I've had in ages! And I've been to plenty of ones but this one is pretty special and filling for a generous portion! I'd highly recommend it! Very yummy! 10/10. ^^

Overall it’s a good Chinese take away and restaurant. The food is generally pretty good and it isn’t overpriced. Occasionally, I’ve had a few minor issues when ordering, but the guys always make things right when there’s a mix up. It’s probably the best Chinese restaurant I’ve had in the whole of Maidstone. The bar around the town is generally pretty low, but I do like ordering here and will continue to go back. Thanks for all our orders over the last couple of years since living in the area!

Excellent service which is what I've come to expect at all the Elite pubs. Good value food and drink and nothing is too much trouble. Stayed 2 nights here which were very clean and felt very luxurious for the money.

We ate here last night as the food at our hotel wasn't very good. The parking was great and it waa easy to find We had the best pizza we've had for a long time and the value for money was brilliant. It cost half what we paid at our hotel the night before and the quality of the food and service was far superior at the potting shed. If we're in the area again we will definitely be back.

First visit to the Potting Shed, a large indoor restaurant with plenty of seating inside and out in the garden. Plenty of parking too. Waitress was very friendly and efficient. I ordered the pizza Caesar, which came with a smoked salmon, anchovies and rocket topping. I ordered extra anchovies for a small price. I was not disappointed, the pizza was lovely and it was a good size too. My friends both ordered the steak ciabatta but both were disappointed at the amount of cheese which sat on top of the steak. They considered the price a little on the high side. The bill included a 12.5% service charge too. I would definitely visit again to enjoy one of their pizzas. The menu was quite extensive and it was difficult to make a choice.

We went for our staff Christmas meal. The food was lovely. The service was excellent despite the venue being fully booked. The atmosphere was lovely. It was beautifully decorated. Perfect.

It was a nice experience. We only went to the restaurant for food and didn't stay in the rooms so cannot comment on those. The staff were friendly and attentive. Service was really quick. The food was presented nicely, tasted good, and portions were a good size. There was a varied menu so you could find something to eat for most dietary requirements. It was a tad on the expensive side in my opinion, which is why the rating is 4/5*. We went for the 5 plates for £32 between 2 of us which was a good amount of food. There was lots of free parking available. Inside the restaurant was clean and rustic. Quite pretty with the decor. There is a nice outside area too. It was busy but not too loud that we couldn't hear what members of our group were saying. There were kids there so I'd say yes it's family-friendly.

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.
