The Best Restaurants in Addington, Kent, United Kingdom (2025)

My husband booked a table at this establishment for our wedding anniversary, I thank him very much for the chance to have this unique experience! Food and service were beyond my expectations, we were lucky to have lovely people around, the atmosphere was vibrant and relaxing. Definitely recommend!

The food here is very good. Each of our seven courses from the taster menu was top quality. In line with its marketing, this is definitely a small and cosy restaurant. There are literally only 10 seats and - as far as I'm aware - only the taster menu is available. You therefore definitely need to book ahead. As it's a taster menu, you get a nice varied meal, and the menu changes each month. The food comes out promptly and in sync with the other diners. Some people choose the wine pairing option too, though a regular drinks menu is available. On our night, the chef introduced each of the dishes personally.

Had one of (if not) the best brunches at Chef's Table. We ordered the Chicken and Waffles with bacon jam and maple syrup, Steak and Eggs as well as the mushrooms and potatoes on the side. All were delicious and the server went out of their way to ensure we had the best experience. A quaint setting with only 12 seats, we were the only diners which felt very intimate but we enjoyed this. Definitely enticed me to want to come back and try the A La Carte or Tasting Menu offerings!

Visited for the second time last week for brunch, and wow, what a beautiful brunch we had! Food was of amazing quality, presented beautifully and the flavours were fantastic. Service was attentive, friendly and we felt well looked after. Small, but cosy restaurant, we wish it was somewhat bigger so it wasn’t so difficult to book a table, but will definitely visit for a dinner soon.

Even better second time! We came for dinner again and the food was superb. I had the Chorizo Scotch Egg to start, followed by the Cod and Fries, with the Irish Affogato to finish. Friendly service, lovely decor and clean facilities make this an excellent venue. We shall return!

Large car park. Some steps to entrance. Friendly welcome on arrival. Good service and food.

We had a really lovely visit to The Moody Mare recently, the first of many I hope. Great staff and a really good selection of drinks. The most incredible aspect of the pub is the building. The atmosphere is really special and history is truly worth hearing about. The team have managed to keep both the important historical features but add some unique features, such as the teepees at the back of the pub.

Had a meal with family for our 55th wedding anniversary and could not have chosen a better place to go. From the friendly welcome to the most fantastic meal it made the day special. The food was presented and Cooke with obvious pride and dedication. The atmosphere was warm and inviting . We will definitely be recommending and returning again.

Really good food and service. Went for Sunday lunch and the roast was delicious. Other options on the menu as well.

Spent a Saturday afternoon here drinking delicious cocktails and absolutely loved it. Fabulous range of cocktails for a pub, and all the ones I ordered were delicious, unique and beautifully presented. Decor is lovely, seating cosy and service friendly and attentive. Slight criticism is the as the afternoon turned into early evening service became overbearing as a member of staff approached our table persistently every few minutes asking if we were ready to order more drinks. There were only two of us and it was clear that our glasses were not nearly empty so it felt like we were being rushed, perhaps as they wanted to accommodate more patrons arriving. But I had a lovely time and would definitely return.

Lamb rump really delicious. Small, single hasselback potato accompaniment needed some friends, for £26 though! And the side of veggies at £5 also a derisorily small portion size. Service and vibe superb, so if the pointlessly miserly approach to vegetables is rectified, this place would be perfect!

First visit to this incredible little gem today for our anniversary brunch, couldn’t find a single fault, not that we were looking however, staff were perfect! Welcoming, polite, friendly, felt like we were the only ones there because they were so attentive and lovely, would go back just to be treated so nicely, but the food was 5 star, perfect temperature, fresh, and really good options especially for me as a vegetarian, love love love this place! Will be going back asap!

Wonderful evening, friendly and efficient staff, fabulous food, lovely atmosphere. We shared a starter and cheese board as the mains are plentiful. Beef bourguignon delicious and bacon and brie mussels platter was amazing

We don’t eat Mussels (although the Mussel menu had an amazing selection!), but visited and there were plenty of other options on the menu. Beef Bourguignon was delicious, it was rich, with a reasonable portion and tender meat. Great selection of drinks, wine was lovely and service was friendly and attentive. Nice atmosphere and will definitely return… although we really miss the Sunday roasts from years ago, they were always our favourite place for a Sunday!!

Superb mussle restaurant with a great variety of tastes, good wine and quick service. One muscle portion is actually enough for two people and the prices reasonable. Thumbs up will return soon

What a lovely place, absolutely fab! Found this place on Google after looking for places that serve mussels, as my partner and I have recently started enjoying them. I'm glad we came here. So much choice of mussels and their main menu also has a good selection. We will definitely come again, hopefully on a Monday or Thursday when they have their mussels nights!

The bar was busy, obviously a popular bar to meet up on a Sunday lunch time. A lovely fire burning added to the feel of the place old rustic. First glass was dirty but promptly dealt with, so didn't feel I was making a fuss. I will return another day get a seat by the fire and soak in the atmosphere.

Loved it. From the front, you would never believe this pub. Massive back garden, huge covered area with two large screen TVs . Another covered area plus tons of seating in the uncovered garden area. There is an outside bar and plenty of staff around to look after you. Food is available and prices are fair for the area. It has a nice ambience, lively music playing in the back ground, nice crowd, definitely a place you could bring your kids or your granny. Plenty of younger people there, having a good time but being respectful. Inside the pub is oldy worldy but has a charm. As the day was a pleasant one, most people were enjoying the autumn sunshine. First visit here but will return. Staff were friendly, food came up in good time and was good quality.

What do you look for in a English country pub? Banter from raucous locals? Awesome ale? Historic decorations? This place, it has it all. It also has a new Spring food menu, 2 courses for £25 or 3 for £30. The food is a classic pub affair with a touch of flair. So come, enjoy the beer garden or sit indoors and indulge your senses in the splendid English atmosphere. Update, they now have sensational Smoke House food. 25 of your English pounds will buy enough cooked meat to feed a small village.

An absolutely outstanding pub! While it can get busy at times, the exceptional service from the superb managers and amazing staff truly stands out. The food is not only delicious but also very reasonably priced. This place is a gem, and I couldn’t recommend it more highly!

We visited today for Sunday lunch and was not disappointed! We sat outside on the terrace in the shade which was very pleasant. Our server Damian was absolutely marvellous! He was so attentive and thoughtful! He heard my 4 year daughter say she wanted a Yorkshire pudding but she doesn’t eat roast dinner so when her sausage chips came out she was super excited to see a giant Yorkshire on her plate. This made me super emotional as its little touches like this that mean so much. He was patient and great with our kids and I am even got an extra Yorkshire because I didn’t get own that last time I was at an elite pub. The food was delicious, the children’s came out with our starters and our main came out shortly after and was piping hot and very much enjoyed by myself and my husband. All in all a wonderful experience and would highly recommend and are sure to come back soon. Thank you to Damien and all the staff

Had a last minute Sunday meal at the Farmhouse today and was very impressed! Fast service, tasty food which was piping hot. Very attentive staff without being overbearing. Family friendly, highly recommend, just a shame we couldn’t stay longer.

We booked for Christmas Day lunch and it was everything that we could of hoped for. The food was delicious, staff were all happy and helpful. The lovely Holly who was serving us went the extra mile by helping us with our elderly family member through the busy pub to our table. Thank you Holly for making the day really special :-)
