Amazing meal with my family today. All the food was delicious and the venue is so well done. Everything was high quality and we are already planning our return.

We booked for my mother in laws birthday and it was fantastic. Upon arrival we asked if we could have our cake (that we brought from M&S) lit up for dessert and they were extremely facilitating. We sat down and there was lots of room between us and other customers, this meant it wasn’t too loud. The toilets were clean, the staff are very friendly and the food was 10/10. At the end of our meal they brought out a second birthday dessert from them to my mother in law, which was kind and made her day. An overall brilliant experience, we would recommend highly.

I stay here regularly whenever I’m working away in Kent, probably a dozen or so times in the last couple of years. The rooms are spacious with good size desks, offering plenty of room for Teams calls etc. The food is great, so rare to be able to buy a vegetable when working away and I really appreciate the seasonal variety. Location is convenient, easily accessible by car or a 10 min brisk walk from Lenham station, direct line from Victoria. Lots of decent walks nearby for the summer evenings. Best of all is the exceptional welcome from Jozsef, Zoe, Julie, Norrie and the team. When working away multiple nights per week the friendliness really makes a difference, and man do these guys pull out all the stops. I tend to sit quietly in the corner whilst I witness countless locals pour out their souls speaking of divorce and regrets, all of which are handled with professionalism from the Elite pubs team. As I sit there admiring the patience of the team I can’t help but wonder what my own wife is up to 250 miles away from me. I assume she is enjoying a good film night with her bf. Until next time Wishful Thinker team, please keep up the good work. Giles
