A pleasant country pub that comes into its own in the summer. Sitting in the garden on a summer's evening isn't a bad way to pass the time. The food's pretty good too (averaging about £15 a dish). The pub is situated in the small village of Rodmersham. The most famous resident was the artist Edward Ardizzone - and yet not one of his paintings/illustrations graces the wall of the pub.

A warm welcome at this traditional village pub. The cosy interior makes you feel at home and the friendly and efficient staff are always a pleasure. A couple of beers followed by a decent meal. You can't go wrong with a prawn cocktail followed by their fish and chips board which included a really tasty battered sausage. Roll on my next visit to Rodmersham!

After a walk with the dog decided to stop at the pub i had heard so much about. All remarks about the place were not exaggerated. Food was lovely, well cooked and presented and plenty of it. Staff were welcoming and friendly. Will definitely return

A fantastic country pub in a lovely, quiet, village location. The Fruiterers has a nice recently refurbished restaurant which serves up some pretty tasty food. Staff are all very welcoming, friendly and helpful. It has a nice beer garden for the summer and warm, cosy fires for the winter. There is normally some music playing in the background and it has a good atmosphere. Now, under new management, The Fruiterers is now even better than ever, the pub has a proper village pub feel about it again. The beer garden is perfect for the summer with plenty of benches and it also has some pretty cool sheds/cabins you can sit in for added privacy or for a bit of shade. Highly recommended. Update. Returned recently and had a fantastic fish and chips, which was massive and super tasty. The staff and locals are all so friendly and welcoming it is definitely worth a visit.

It’s been great coming in here. Never came in here for 20 something years until this place improved. Best owners. Lovely food tastes proper. Beer tastes lovely. Nice coke. Reasonable priced crisps. Darts, comfy, warm and out the way of all the loud places.
