The Best Restaurants in Boughton Under Blean, Kent, United Kingdom (2025)

Absolutely amazing food.

We had the BEST cocktail making experience with Laura from Wildbox. She bought absolutely everything needed for a perfect evening with her and decorated the table beautifully. All of the ingredients were locally sourced including garnishes and spirits which were from local distilleries. There were 11 of us in the party and we made 3 cocktails each. Laura talked us through the recipes beforehand and explained why all the flavours worked so well together. Each was more delicious than the last! I can thoroughly recommend Laura and Wildbox for a fabulous evenings entertainment. Just trying to think of another event I need to get her round for!

Wildbox offer a truly unique experience. Laura is a superb cocktail host. Cocktails were delicious, made with fresh ingredients. They were probably the best cocktails I have ever tasted. So well prepared and presented. Nothing was too much for her to deal with. We were a party of 15 excited ladies, all asking for different cocktails from our list. Laura made our evening very special. Thank you Laura.

Laura and the team at Wild Box provided a pop up bar for an event we were exhibiting at. They provided fresh juices in the AM and mocktails in the afternoon. All of them were delicious! Their bar looked really slick in our space. Thank you to Wild Box for helping us create an amazing event presence.

I asked Wildbox to deliver a cocktail class for my hen do and it was an absolutely fantastic experience. Laura was knowledgeable, friendly and a brilliant teacher. The cocktails were the best we have tasted and many of the guests have asked for the recipes!!! The set up was so professional and every one had their own equipment and plenty of time/space to follow the instructions accurately. I would recommend Laura for any special event. Thank you.

Not been here in a few years - understand there had been a few changes. Food is still good - venison roast with textures of onion and interesting scallop starter both memorable. Service friendly but quite leisurely in pace. Lovely spot and a nice log fire. Not as busy as we’d have expected it to be on a Saturday lunchtime. Worth a visit!

Visited today for lunch. What a lovely welcoming pub. The menu was perfectly small with a handful of specials. No pre cooked food here all fresh and tasty. Service excellent not intrusive just the perfect amount of required attention. Would definitely recommend and visit again.

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.

Had a nice family lunch here. Some decent specials and the staff were brilliantly busy and attentive, friendly and polite. The food was good but a few mistakes (sautee potatoes were extremely salty, calamari seemed fresh but was chewy). Everything else was spot on so really a fair 8/10 for food. I will return on a quieter service for a second opinion (the place was busy and rightly so).

We wanted a nice Italian meal and was delighted to find this restaurant. It is not your average Italian with lasagne or spaghetti bolognaise. It is a more adventurous menu and a little more fine dining. The restaurant is set next to the estuary that when we arrived was at low tide, but we started to see it come in by the time we were finishing. We both had the Salmon E Gamberetti for starters, baby prawns in a marie rose sauce with smoked salmon on a bed of rocket and they did not skimp on the smoked salmon at all. For mains, we had Fusilli Aumm Aumm, which I swapped for penne pasta and the Zuppa Di Pesce. Both were absolutely delicious and very filling. We hope to visit again to try some of the other dishes that all looked very nice indeed and will definitely be recommending to family if they are in the area.

Lovely restaurant located near the creek in Faversham. We visited as a group for a 50th birthday celebration and had a fantastic time. All the food was made to a high standard and a great selection of wines. Staff were excellent and patient with my questions about the food and drink from some of our party. I had the salmon and King prawn dish, and it was fresh and full of favour. The pizzas looked incredible, as did the pasta dishes. We visited many times in the past, and it never fails to impress.

Great location. Great service. Greeted well. Excellent food. Vegetarian options available. Highly recommend it.

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.

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!

Today, I had an amazing time at Little Diner. I wasn't sure what to expect, but now I can confidently recommend it to everyone looking for a quick escape from the hustle and bustle of the busy road. There are both indoor and outdoor seating options available. Definitely worth a visit!

Delicious Breakfast stick, freshly prepared, well presented, lovely sausages, friendly service, and received free donuts! if you ask they also have filter coffee! excellent place to grab a bite open 0700-2:30(ish!)

1st time, I've stopped here. And what a little gem. The breakfast was excellent. You can tell everything is locally sourced with the quality of the sausages, bacon, and eggs. Definitely worth a visit.

Thought I would leave a review of this awesome little cafe on the A2 I always drove past but never went in, So I decided to give it a shot and I was very pleased! Service was good very friendly staff and the food was absolutely on point and also not too harsh on your wallet! Could not recommend enough for a good sit down fry up! Will be visiting again👍

Very nice Pub with lot of locals… can’t be bad 😄 Food was excellent and the chef a nice and friendly person! Stayed here with our Motorhome on the way back to Dover Ferry Lovely stay 👍🏽

Popped in for some lunch on a miserable afternoon, sat right near the lovely fireplace! Food was tasty and the service was great! Lovely homely atmosphere, will definitely be back!

Loved this pub! Great, great food, really well flavoured and cooked. Lovely service from the young lady who is the owners niece. And the garden, on a sunny day, is gorgeous! Definitely coming back.

Love this local pub. Great garden with little climbing frame for kids and a good bouncy castle. Nice atmosphere, lots of events/live music. New owners are very nice. Only tried bar snake food but still very nice.

Popped into this little pub for a drink - location is a bit off-centre for Faversham, down toward the quayside behind the big brewery - but really only a couple of minutes away from Market Street and the bustle of the town centre. Nice place inside, more spacious than it appears, with a bar in the centre and tables in areas to either side. Didn’t eat on this occasion, but the food menu looked excellent and they have good reviews, so will come back to try. The beer was Peroni; as it was and as it should be. The atmosphere was nice, relatively quiet and relaxed. Chill. Overall decent and well worth a visit.

Fabulous meal at the Quay with family. Booked at short notice for special pie and drink night. It was super and they catered brilliantly for me as a gluten free diner. Even made a special menu to choose. Food presentation outstanding. Definitely would return when in the area again.

Fantastic meal at the Quay Food was really nice, lovely atmosphere and service excellent. We had starter (both had duck), main course (I had the pork belly and my wife had the cod) and dessert (pistachio cake for me and lemon posset for my wife) and all were beautiful presented and tastes delicious. Will definitely be going back again and would definitely recommend

Nice traditional pub and relatively spacious restaurant offering a rotating selection of real ales and very good food - my go to eatery in the town. They have managed to get the balance right between the restaurant and pub, therefore whether you are eating or drinking (or both) you will not be disappointed. Staff are great and nothing is too much trouble. Music early most Sunday evenings

A gorgeous pub on the Creek. Myself, the hubster and our friends went for our 2nd lunch together today. The friends had ribs, which looked amazing! Hubster had the classic beef burger and I has the grilled chicken caesar burger. Everyone enjoyed, but personally I lived the chicken burger. Chips are skin on chips which were really nice and ever so slightly salted. Staff were attentive, but not in your face. A lovely place for lunch or dinner. Highly recommended.

Pleasantly surprised by this little find on the backstreets of Faversham. It’s a pub that does Mexican food and actually gives a good account of itself. Wide range of beers on tap cover most tastes, as well as usual wine list offerings and cocktails. Not sure cocktails are quite up to scratch but the food more than made up for it. We opted for various types of fajitas (chicken, pork belly and vegan) and all were very tasty. General feel of the place is warm and clean (we were there on a cold wet night) with nicely designed features here and there. Staff were incredibly friendly and gave you the feeling that nothing was too much trouble. When other Mexican offerings nearby are often hard to get a table at, this now will go on our list of decent options.

Nice setting almost on the water. We sat outside but there is good seating inside too. Car park right at the pub which is handy. The interior of the pub is very well fitted, nice bar, and the toilets are well kept and clean. The food was really good. No complaints there. The service was mediocre at best with our food arriving in stages and missing one order, and no real apology from any of the staff. Once again the food was tops. So all I all a solid 4/5

Lovely food, surprisingly busy for a weekday lunchtime which is always a good sign. Staff were friendly service was quick. This was our first visit and we'll definitely be back!

WOW, I can confidently say that was the best breakfast I have ever had. I paid £13.50 and i would personally say it was worth more. The customer service was outstanding from the moment you walk in to the moment you leave. Thank you Emma and Charlie for the most perfect welcome x

Brilliant atmosphere, decor was amazing. people who own/work were so welcoming and friendly and helpful, food was incredible very yummy! definitely worth the money, quality of the food is what your paying for. we will definitely be back! thank you emma and charlie for this morning

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!

The first time coming here, I will come back, staff are so friendly and the food is worth its weight in gold
