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

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.

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

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.

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

Great service from the staff, food is great throughout from the starters/sharing bowls to the main dishes.

Really nice modern country pub and restaurant with two large restaurant rooms, offering a different ambience. Plenty of parking. Good food and nice helpful staff. I really enjoyed my evening here, definitely recommend and would certainly return...

We came for my friends birthday meal last night. We all had a lovely time. Food was delicious and the service was amazing. The staff were so helpful and friendly. We will definitely be back. I had the gut loving bowl with halloumi and vegan apple crumble with ice cream.

Last minute decision on a Tuesday with the family. Everyone had a great great meal and the kids menu's are fantastic value for money.

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 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.

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.

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.

First time here as we are visiting the area, fantastic food good portion sizes great service felt very welcome a must if you visit the area

Delicious roast carvery, plenty of choice. Friendly and attentive staff, beautiful pub and we of course be back!!

Absolutely delicious food. We had a couple of burgers, mussels with cider and ribs. All were very good.

Amazing food! this is spicy bean and chorizo stew with pork chop Lovely atmosphere 🫶

WOW WOW WOW What an amazing experience at the black horse, we was greeted by the most welcoming owners and able to choose our own seats meaning as a couple we wasn’t just plonked in a corner and forgotten we instead was waited on hand and foot!! The food was delicious 😋 I had the bubble and Quack which was fabulous (the duck yolk was ooozing) and my husband had a spicy bean mix with a GIANT pork chop. A great value for money and accompanied by great service from all the staff. They even gave poppy (our Labrador) some treats so she felt at home

We had a lovely lunch here on the 21st of December all very last minute as we were in the area.. The staff were fantastic gave us a very table right next to the open fire 🔥 my husband even got to put on a log ... the food was very good 👍 our children were very happy especially with the ice cream and chocolate sauce 😋 had a little dog running very cute .. if we go back that way we will definitely pop back in .. couldn't fault it xx

Had some lovely food here a few times this week! Not expensive at all, 2 drinks and a rib eye steak for less than £30. Ellie was a great barmaid!

Amazing service. Went there for dinner and our server Phoebe could not have been more helpful and nice. All our food was served in a timely manner and my steak was cooked to perfection. The atmosphere was very chilled despite a fair number of people being there. I will definitely be returning.

What a wonderful meal we had for my son in laws birthday (Ian Laws). The food was fantastic and our waitress that took the order was great (sorry never got your name). There were 10 of us and the service provided by the waiting staff Sheila and Karen was outstanding. We will definately be back and this is the best food I have had in a long time. Thanks the cheese melt was fantastic and I enjoyed the pate as well. Two people had the sirloin roast dinner and loved it. They catered for all tastes and everyone enjoyed their meals. Thanks again.

Staff super friendly, and helpful. Welcomed in with a host and seated, checked for allergens. Great value on food. Help yourself continental and unlimited breakfast. Even got given a voucher to come back with 25% off as well!

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.

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!!

Another lovely evening at this charming pub. We have been a few times over the past 2 decades and have never been disappointed. The food was absolutely delicious and the wines are absolutely top notch. Thanks again to the landlord and chef

Lovely food, fantastic waitress, good host. It was quiet maybe due to the lack of heating which is the only negative

Don't be put off by other negative reviews. I wasn't, I read the positive ones and decided it was the place to try. The pub is a home full of character. We called before as in the area and were greeted with a positive welcome. Our meal was cooked to order, with a passion for food. Sardines were large cooked perfectly with rosemary, bread was warm and soft. Sea bass was meaty laid on samphire with a lobster and mussel bisque (clearly homemade from lobster shell stock, yum) lovely new potatoes and fresh veggies. Just about room for dessert, we had apple sultana laced with calvados on a homemade shortbread disc with ice cream. Finished off with a lovely coffee and homemade biscuit. The meal was hot and remained so while eating a good sign of being cooked fresh and not left on a hotplate. The owner is the chef and on reading information about the Dering Arms he's had the building since he was 27 and now plans to retire....it will be a great loss for the area. The landlord buys fish and seafood each week from the coast and adapts his specials board to what's in season. He has reasonable room hire for b&b. Call him first to ensure it's serving, and he's still the chef. Slight threshold step

Popped in for a quick drink with my family when we were visiting the area this afternoon. Knew I'd walked into a good pub when I saw the pile of Classic & Sports Car magazines on the bar! Very well kept pint of Goacher's Dering Ale. Nice chap behind the bar and spotlessly clean loos. Will be back for one of their advertised classic car meetings and to try the food!
