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

First time visiting Thai Basil to celebrate my spouse's birthday, and we were pleasantly surprised with the quality of food and service received. We were able to get gluten-free options from the menu, which was a huge relief. The food was tasty and the portions generous. I hope they keep up the standards as this will attract a lot of repeat customers. We will definitely be going back to try some other dishes on the menu that looked interesting.

Had an amazing dining experience at Thai basil. The Pad Thai was perfectly balanced. Great service, fresh ingredients, and authentic Thai flavours—can’t wait to come back!”

This is a little gem and definitely the best Thai food in Canterbury and Ashford. The restaurant was really quiet when I visited and so I can't really say it has an atmosphere, but the decor is nice, modern and tastefully done. I ordered from the lunchtime menu which is great value for money, especially as you get a starter and rice included. All in all a great place and I will definitely be going back in the very near future. I took a ⭐ off the food score because for me, it was a little too salty. Other than that it was lovely.

We took my Mum out for Mother's day. The service was second to none and the food was incredible. Full of flavours like a party in your mouth. They were really accommodating. We will definitely be back!!

I attended Rose and Crown for the first time for my birthday. I'd never been before but Google searches suggested it was a good place for gluten free food. The pub itself is nestled away in a small village location. The restaurant was clean and although a little cramped it wasn't a problem at all. The food was incredible, all round delicious and everyone seemed to enjoy their meals. The staff however, they were a league above. The service, the friendly nature, the willingness to help and make the evening as enjoyable and special as possible was very refreshing and something that I don't often get to experience anymore at restaurants. I came away thinking what a great place and not just because the food was delicious but because I felt like the staff were actually happy and cared. I don't know the ladies' names who served us but hats off to them! Compliments all round. I will certainly remember this restaurant and pub for future meals. Thank you Rose and Crown! One point to note which is useful for others we spent approximately £200 for 5 people but I didn't once think it wasn't worth it.

Great little pub with good beer and a decent outside area for younger kids. Back has a garden bar with a limited selection but good enough. Although we haven't attended it looks like they have a few events in the summer too. With great weather you have a choice of outdoor seating in the front (with views over the field) or.the back away from the road and close to the play area. On Sunday we popped in for just a drink but the food looked great. It was busy too with many tables reserved.

Hidden down a nice country lane, the atmosphere in this pub is lovely. A couple of roaring open fires, friendly locals and staff and comfy chairs make the bar area perfect for breaking up a winter walk. The restaurant does heart Sunday lunches which were reasonably priced, but the winner was the ambience of the bar area to snuggle up for an hour

This is quite possibly one of the best pubs for food and service that I have ever been to. I was amazed not only by the quality of the food but also by how wonderful the staff were. My wife and I live in Dubai, where food and service are second to none and we were hoping for a good meal in a nice spot with a friendly welcome. Rose & Crown not only delivered that but completely exceeded our expectations. One of the best in Kent for sure 👍

Excellent 3 course Sunday lunch, great value for money and excellent quality. Been here a few times, always enjoy.

The cake was fantastic, the milkshake apparently was great but my luxury hot chocolate was cold and only a half cup under the cream which was a little disappointing. We will return, just not for hot chocolate 😊

Ate at this cafe yesterday (29/04/24). Have eaten there before Christmas last year. Such a popular place. There are 3 areas of tables. Some inside the cafe itself, a couple adjacent to cafe where dogs are welcomed and a barn area outside. As you can see I’d the full English Breakfast with toast. It was filling. My friend and I both had the same. We were both full and decided to each buy a scone to take home. My friend chose the cream + jam, and both we’re boxed up nicely and they kept them in the cafe (once we’d paid for them) until we returned from looking round the garden centre itself. Well worth a visit. Friendly and attentive staff. Clean and tidy in all areas.

Had our christmas get-together here with my family last Sunday. Absolutely brilliant. Food fantastic, staff very friendly. If I could give them 10 out of 10 I would.

A nice warm welcome for our group of 40 for lunch which was kindly accommodated in the pub because of the rain when it had been expected that we would be outside. Food was served promptly, was a nice selection and there was the right amount. Really good experience.

We called in by chance as we were passing on a walk and were delighted with what we found. Beautiful interior with log fire and tasteful seasonal decorations. Very warm welcome from landlady and staff and delicious well priced menu. Chef had made a seafood chowder that morning and we were lucky enough to have the first two portions. Puddings were unusual and delicious - Xmas pudding creme brulee was actual Xmas pudding in a creme brulee with crispy top just as it should be! Highly recommended.

What a lovely place this is! We had their brand new roast dinner yesterday (08/09/2024) and it was the first day of their new menu and it was superb. Incredible feast like roast dinner with lots of brilliant options. Delicious. The service was second to none, couldn't do enough for us. Kind, chatty, made multiple efforts to pop over for a chat and really thoughtful too - they gave both our dogs an ice cream pot each. Cannot wait to return!!!

Lovely meal and staff yesterday afternoon. They were so polite throughout the whole service we have. My partner and I had a burgers off the Sunday menu with fries and they were so nice. The total was just under £50 but will definitely be back again to try their weekday menu. Thank you for a lovely afternoon meal yesterday ladies.

Came here for a Sunday roast - quiet and relaxed atmosphere. GENEROUS portions, great value and great tasting food. My poor waistline 🥲 My partner had the goat's cheese tart to replace the meat in the roast. Compliments to the chef 10/10.

Had lunch here. Good menu, reasonably priced. Had our favourite, ham, eggs and chips. Delicious. Very busy as holding a wake but were served very quickly. Only on holiday but, next time down, would eat here again.

Tasha and her staff were so friendly and helpful we went back 3 days in a row while staying in our Airbnb... Helpful with our temperamental dog 🐶 Food lovely and great value ., Highly recommend this lovely country pub .... We will definitely be back .... Dave Lucy Bourbon and Forrest

Two couples there for lunch, nice cosy pub , only fault the chairs were wooden seats , should have cushions as sitting for a couple of hours we had sore bottoms. Food great , service great staff great faith price, Will return

Another stunning lunch had yesterday prepared by Chef James, his blend of flavours and presentation is outstanding. Many Congratulations & thanks. 👏⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We visited the George yesterday for a quick evening meal. The restaurant was full of people and we soon realised why. The food was exceptional! To our amazement, we were treated to an amuse bouche, something one only gets in high-end restaurants. The menu looked exciting and the food we chose was delicious. The prices were really good too. The bustling atmosphere of the restaurant further attested to the Chef Jim's remarkable talent and culinary expertise. Needless to say, we left the George thoroughly delighted and already making plans for our next visit.

A lovely little dog-friendly bolthole pub owned by the local community, which offers a fun atmosphere for a drink and some lovely food options, all of which are quite reasonably priced. Would highly recommend their roast dinner. They offer children’s portions too. We even got given a lovely cupcake made by one of the local shareholders. The place has a friendly community spirit to it.

Absolutely gorgeous pub with beautiful interior. The staff were and absolute dream the food was delicious. Best haddock bake going !! Will definitely come back in the future thank you

Just had an amazing stay highly recommend very friendly welcome even personally taken to our room. The room had everything you needed for a comfortable stay the welcome water and beer was a lovely touch along with a variety of complementary teas and coffee. We had a lovely meal in the pub and there was so much food which was delicious. We needed a taxi and the team sorted that for us. We missed breakfast on the Sunday morning our fault too much indulgence on Saturday evening. However we were offered sausage Sandwiches after the breakfast service had finished which was totally above and beyond great service and very rarely you find a place that would offer this exceptional service. We will definitely return as we felt very well looked after. Thank you for making us so welcome.

Perfect place, great food, very welcoming, dog friendly and able to park a camper

We stayed at The Red Lion recently, and we were very impressed with the whole stay. All of the staff were friendly, helpful, and polite. We had two excellent meals there, both amazing, and breakfast was exceptionally good. Our room was comfortable, clean and well equipped. Car parking was no problem. We'd like to visit again sometime.

The first time I've been here in a few years ,it was ok. The food was abit pricey and I wasn't a fan of the chips because they seem like they were cooked in a fryer? (tasted fatty) but were ok . Unfortunately the 2 puddings I wanted to try (my 1st and 2nd choice, not 2 puddings at once) they were out of ,and I'm not a fan of nuts , so I missed out on the brownie . But my friends had it and it looked lovely (if you like nuts), the tart ta tan also looked lovely but I had eaten too much to fit that in by that point. What I didn't realise was the nachos (specials menu) was a sharer ....but me being me , I ate it all to myself . The cocktails looked good too 👌 Plenty of parking, nice outside area and toilets were clean and nice

I recently enjoyed a Christmas menu meal with some friends, and it was a wonderful experience.I was happy with the delicious vegan options on the menu and my friends thoroughly enjoyed their non vegan options. The food was cooked very well. The waitresses were attentive, cheerful, and incredibly helpful, ensuring we all felt welcome and well taken care of even with my requests of extra gravy! Each course arrived quickly at the perfect time, with no rush but a lovely flow to the evening. We all had a fantastic time.

Stopped in recently for a midweek meal with my partner and dog. Very friendly team who even fussed Tia (the dog) and brought her a bowl of fresh water. She loves them! The food was fantastic!!! Atmosphere was wonderful and I left with a big smile on my face and a very full tummy. Thank you all so much for a lovely midweek date night. Can't wait to do it again!

Well Perci’s pulled it out of the bag for our friends birthday celebrations. This is our local pub, and have definitely been on a journey to get to where they are. With a new head chef in the house, the food has seen remarkable improvement. Georgio and his team always deliver service with a smile

Best Pub food ever. All the dishes were so freshly prepared and delicious. Great variety of drinks too. Would definitely recommend. Our server Rose’s was amazing as well.

We went to our local last night with friends and we had the most amazing meal! The staff were so friendly and hospitable and the food fantastic! We love it there and will definitely be back. Thank you so much

Family went to the restaurant for some lunch. Starters, main and dessert were all very good. Nice size portions and very tasty. Good service & friendly staff. Would definitely return. The chicken tenders & gravy and truffle fries were fantastic. The chicken burger was also very very good.

Lovely last minute Sunday roast, very friendly staff, food was lovely, prices as elsewhere would recommend
