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

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.

We booked a table for 2 along with our dog Milo. I have to say both me and my husband agreed that the meal was fabulous. The game pie was absolutely amazing. Alongside the food the staff were fantastic and were very accommodating especially as Milo is a giant breed and not the average dog. This is definitely a place we will revisit. So carry on doing the good work. Milo say thank you as he loved all the cuddles.

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 👍
