Lovely community pub in a beautiful village. Great choice of drinks and a huge beer garden. No proper food available at the moment (they're looking for a new head chef), but they have a good choice of nuts and some really tidy pork scratchings

This is a community owned pub that has a fantastic atmosphere. New menu has been launched with some very tasty dishes. Beautiful setting, great staff, well worth a trip into a gorgeous village and enjoy a drink or well cooked meal.

Honestly, what a lovely lunch stop. Allergy aware and helpful, huge portions. Visited on a Friday and regretted instantly not ordering the fresh fish and chips! Lady serving was friendly, informative and attentive. Lovely relaxed atmosphere will certainly be back.

I booked this pub/restaurant on the hoof as I was attending a conference with colleagues from Germany, Holland, Poland & France in Sittingbourne and wanted my team mates to experience a typical country pub. The Sun Inn did not disappoint. The staff were incredible, patient and extremely courteous. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was fresh, very tasty and typically English, my colleagues left in a very good mood. Karen, Kim and the team were fantastic, I will return!!!
Rating: 5 / 5
We had a wonderful meal, great food, lovely staff, good atmosphere. The waitress made a mistake with our order, but dealt with it superbly. The loss of one star is actually for only having one ale on tap. This is a fairly busy pub, one ale is a fairly poor show.

A great lunchtime, food was very enjoyable and perfect for a family birthday celebration.

We booked for my daughter’s 26th Birthday. 14 adults and 2 toddlers. We Would all definitely highly recommend. Well organised, very friendly , accommodating, helpful staff. The food was amazing, we were stuffed by the end of the evening. They even put candles on the cake when I’d forgotten without asking, very thoughtful. We’re planning our next visit already. Thank you all.

We regularly visit Ephesus to enjoy a decent quiet meal with and without the kids. The owners are a lovely couple who make you feel so welcome and not rushed like other local restaurants. The food has always been to a real high standard so we always recommend dining here. We have booked here a couple of times for birthdays with a larger group and never had any complaints and my family can be quiet fussy. This year I decided to book for Christmas Day dinner for 24 of us. It can be a concern as you want everything to go perfect and with everyone liking there dinner cooked differently I didn’t want anyone to wish they hadn’t joined us as a couple of the family members were unsure on coming as they like their Christmas dinner at home their way, BUT it could not have been any better. With Christmas crackers on the tables and plenty of options for starters, main and desert for the 3 course meal. Some chose the traditional Turkey roast, some had sirloin steak, mixed grill and some had vegetable moussaka. All cooked perfectly. I don’t remember anyone leaving any of there meals (maybe the kids due to the generous size portions). IT WAS AMAZING. Thank you so much for a wonderful Christmas Day.

Fantastic food and good prices. The host / owner was very lovely and accommodating, the service was exceptional and stood out to the both of us very much, all day we were saying how great the service was. Atmosphere was chilled, comfy furniture, and very well made cocktails. Overall a 10/10 for Sittingbourne.

Me and my brother and I were looking for somewhere to have some breakfast in Sittingbourne, and I happened to find this restaurant and decided to dine there. We were welcomed by a wonderful gentleman who seated us and took our drinks order. Breakfast was ordered shortly after by a wonderful waitress who was very polite and friendly, the food came really fast and both mine and my brothers food was really, really good, best breakfast I've had in a long time. The atmosphere was really nice and was something that me and my brother commented on. The restaurant is stylish and very clean, I can't comment on the evening experience, but it's something that I'm definitely looking forward to trying. The owner explained that they will be doing Sunday roasts, which will definitely be my next visit. If you're in the area and are looking for somewhere to eat either breakfast, lunch, or dinner, then I highly recommend visiting Ephesus.

The Fruiterers Arms
Bottles Lane, Rodmersham, Sittingbourne, Kent ME9 0PP, UK | Pub P: 01795 424198
Rating: 4.6 (271) Price Level:
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.
Rating: 5 / 5
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.
Rating: 5 / 5
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
Rating: 5 / 5
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.

The Tuck Inn
1 Hartlip Hill, Sittingbourne ME9 7NZ, UK | Cafe P: 01795 843966
Rating: 4.5 (1312) Price Level:
I believe it's under new ownership since I last went there some time ago. I would say it's improved overall. I enjoyed the friendly staff and a calm atmosphere. I like that!! Anyway. The food was well presented and was hot and tasty!! It's reasonably priced, too. Overall, yes, I'd pop through there again when I'm passing in the future. Recommended!!
Rating: 5 / 5
Have been a regular of this cafe for just shy of 20 years now and have seen ownership and menu changes in this time, for the better and for the worse. We are creatures of habit and the most recent take over was not received well amongst the regular tuck inn aficionados, which was based on objective truth …until now. The Tuck Inn was famed for fast service, good portions, competitive pricing and breakfast quality that was expected of a ‘greasy spoon’ (cash n carry fayre!!). My visit today (26/08/2024 1230hrs) was not planned but more of a ‘why not’ on approach. As always my review will be based on their most popular item, the breakfasts/brunch. It was reasonably busy, as expected of a Sunday, but still plenty of seating both indoors and outside. Getting served took around 5 minutes as there was a queue of 4 upon arrival. I chose breakfast option 7, with no burger (2 x sausages, 2 x egg, 2 x bacon, beans, mushrooms and chips) which cost £9.80. Pretty reasonable in this day and age. It took around 5 minutes 30 seconds for the food to arrive. Portions excellent, hot and everything was well cooked. The chips (more like fries) were akin to what you’d expect out of a kebab shop, not bad. The mushrooms were your standard closed cap mushrooms fried in oil, they didn’t last long! The baked beans were of a very good quality and if I’m not mistaken, Heinz branded, or a very good off brand clone. The eggs were not your anaemic yellow affair but rich orange yolks and whites that were PERFECTLY cooked, perfect fried eggs to me are snot free and runny yolk with a thin jammy layer. The bacon is your standard back bacon, unsmoked, cash n carry job. Not bad but personal preference would have the bacon cooked a touch more. Now the sausages are what makes this, no longer are they cheap and rusk filled ‘chip shop’ sausages but rich n thick Lincolnshire style sausages with a good ‘snap’ on cutting and a rich meaty and herb flavour, indicative of a good quality sausage. Condiments on offer are very good for a cafe. Proper HP sauce, Heinz ketchup, salt, pepper and malt vinegar. Overall menu selection is very good, from your standard cafe favourites to more ‘bougie’ offerings like eggs benedict and smoked salmon. Pricing is average-high but acceptable given the apparent quality upgrades. Staff friendly, toilets clean, quick, efficient service and a proper LOCAL business. Use it or lose it!

As always The Tuck Inn was just spectacular! It really is the best cafe in Kent!! We always come for breakfast and would recommend anyone coming to try the breakfast. On this visit we were actually coming for lunch and it was delicious, super friendly and kind staff, really quick service and good prices. Would absolutely recommend anyone to come for either breakfast or lunch. You’ll never be dissatisfied.

Visited early Saturday morning before riding down to brands hatch and were met with the best hospitality possible. The lady behind the counter saw I was cold from the ride and asked me if I wanted a blanket or hot water bottle, couldnt be more accommodating! Very reasonable price, good food, very clean restaurant and toilets, quick and friendly service. Would recommend anytime. Thank you for a fantastic breakfast experience!

1st time here. Menu has something for everyone. Clean and tidy. Service was good. Food very good. Only downside is the car park. Massive pot hole and a bit rough. The cafe itself is very good. Will defo use again.

Wedding band here, we have played in the marquee and this Sunday just passed we were back in the Apple Barn, both are amazing in their own ways, Apple Barn is especially great for twilight weddings! Really lovely staff who can't do enough to help you, amazing food and both have excellent spaces to entertain guests with space for a live band and of course dancing!

A huge thank you to The Barnyard and their incredible staff for the most perfect wedding day ♥️ Thank you for walking me through each step, fluffing my dress, helping me decorate the venue, creating beautiful scenes for our photos, being so incredibly attentive to our needs (even saving a plate each for me and my husband from the bbq!), keeping us informed where needed, making us a beautiful welcome sign on entry, managing our music playlist for our entrance and exits! I could really go on and on. Nothing was a bother, you reassured me, answered all of my questions and helped our day run so smoothly and perfectly. I have always wanted a Barnyard wedding, and I finally got it. Thank you all ♥️ Love from The Piggott’s x

I recently had a twilight wedding in the Apple Barn at The barnyard, it was such a beautiful venue that perfectly fit our “rustic, whimsical, cozy” vibes for our special day, we used autumnal decor and everything tied in so perfectly, the staff were welcoming and helped us make our special day come to life! Our guests still haven’t stopped talking about how beautiful the venue was and we honestly couldn’t have picked a better place! The food was also to die for! Thank you for everything, we couldn’t recommend you guys enough! - Mr & Mrs Weedon

Wow wow wow. I can’t put into words how much you guys absolutely took my breath away. Everything was so perfect, and I genuinely could not have asked for more from you all! Belle, beautiful Belle. Nothing was ever too much. No task too big or too small. From calming my nerves to fluffing my train, Belle was there with her shining smile, reassuring me every second of the way. Belle you were nothing short of an angel on my wedding day, what a blessing you are! And Tee, bless her heart! Running back to the dressing room to get my perfume when I was seconds from walking down the aisle as I had completely forgotten to spray it! You absolute angels!!! Nothing I can do will be thanks enough for you guys, from Grace being our port of call when planning, to Kirstie and Jo answering my never-ending questions, to Belle and Tee on the day, walking me into my married life with such elegance! The catering team watching me walk down the aisle and singing to my song (I loved it) and of course providing the most beautiful wedding breakfast that got so many compliments. You all made me feel like I was in some sort of fairytale! If you’re not already the proudest people on earth, you absolutely should be because I cannot fault you at all! I feel absolutely blessed with the best 💖

Had breakfast here, which was pretty average. Bacon that I got served hasn't seen much heat and was really unappetizing. Cafetiere coffee was under brewed or they just didn't add enough of it. On the upside, the location is beautiful and service was good. Don't think we'll be coming back for breakfast, but might try their lunch at some point.

Just attended an 80th birthday lunch in the restaurant. There were two or three parties there at the same time. The food was excellent. Serving staff were friendly and very efficient. The food was delicious and perfectly served; despite the pressure of so many meals needing to be served at the same time. Highly recommended. Wish there was such a nice venue closer to where I live.

Rating: 4.4 (893) Price Level:
First time visiting today and was not disappointed. We did have a 50 minute wait as you can not book, and was asked to wait in the gift shop which was difficult with the amount of people in there. It was cold waiting outside, we were given a buzzer and was advised not to sit in the car as it will be out of range. There was some outside seating where the igloos are but it was too cold to sit for a long amount of time. Shame there is no place to wait that's inside and warm. We were not disappointed once we were seated and the staff were very friendly. We weren't rushed and stayed for as long as we wanted, which was lovely. Food was fresh and very yummy, you could tell it was cooked fresh. We also had some side of cheesy tots, which were amazing!

I was treated to lunch by my family and found another hidden gem. It has lovely seating outside in decorative plastic bubbles giving it a lovely summer feel. We sat inside and it was spacious and comfortable. The food was so tasty and service was excellent and friendly. We had the pancake special which 2 of us shared. Great car park👍there is a gift shop and picture framing shop with lovely prints .

Came here tonight (19/12/24) for a meal with friends before Christmas! What a lovely evening we all had! Friendly, attentive staff; lovely food with huge portions, and such a cosy, warm atmosphere to be sat in. I have some allergies and everything was dealt with to cater for my needs. Definitely worth the 5 stars, if not more! See you after Christmas for another meal Tudor Rose!

I visited here for a staff Christmas meal. There was a lovely atmosphere, the staff were very friendly, helpful and welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious. The apple crumble was THE best I've ever tasted; I would score it 10/10 for both flavour and consistency. My salmon was succulent and cooked to perfection. The only reason why I haven't scored 5 stars is because they did not have any form of soya milk available, despite offering a vegan menu. In this day and age, that came as a complete surprise to me. There should be vegan alternative milks available for customers.

Once again we had a lovely meal and excellent experience at the Tudor Rose. We were slightly surprised at how busy the pub became during the early evening that we were there. I'm glad that we had booked a table or we would have been disappointed. The food was excellently cooked and very well presented. We have decided to become regulars as it has given us an excellent experience everytime we have visited.
