Lovely evening spent dining with my husband, great food and service that was friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be returning with family.
Rating: 4 / 5
What a beautiful place this is. Can be quite busy but staff and kitchen handled it like a pro. We were graciously welcomed and staff was super friendly and attentive to all. As they had a lot of customers on the night, they never lost their cool and made the experience extremely pleasant. The liver was a bit under cooked so ended up with pink, bloody mash BUT was still tasty. Aranchini was cooked brilliantly but the sauce was too tomatoey for me as it over powered the taste of the aranchini. The olives & bread is sooooo good. The Black Shadow cocktail was so tasty and tiramisu also delicious. Nothing like a little Grappa to end the evening off. Overall an amazing experience and will definitely be back.

The staff are really friendly, welcoming, helpful and great to chat with. The food is excellent, nicely presented and portion sizes are really good for the money. Everything was cooked to perfection and I really enjoyed everything, definitely visit again soon...... Perfect! 10 out of 10 👌

The Print House Inn Tenterden - AA 4 Star Rated
11 W Cross, Tenterden TN30 6JL, UK | Bar P: 01580 231103
Rating: 4.7 (83) Price Level:
Today they had a temp chef in (normal chef was on holiday), which meant service times were slow. However, the team did an absolutely incredible job at handling this, with constant communication and the food was still fab (despite a slow service!) on top of this, due to the wait our meal was comped, which was above and beyond what we would have expected and shows how much this place cares about reputation and customer happiness. Overall yes, temp kitchen staff meant slower wait times, but having been before this is notably just a tough day, but the experience was still great and hats off to the FOH team for excellently handling this.

A perfect choice for our old colleagues lunch today. Warm, cosy and beautifully decorated pub. Food was delicious too. Thank you so much. Will be back very soon.
Rating: 5 / 5
We booked a last minute table for a family birthday dinner for our son (who was turning 12), Shona accommodated us no problem! We’ve been wanting to try the Print House for a while and were not disappointed! The place itself is lovely with a really welcoming feel and wonderful ambience (even on a Monday night when most places are pretty dull), the staff were friendly and attentive and they made us feel special and really made the occasion, especially for the kids, despite it being quite a ‘grown up’ place. The food was excellent, with a good selection of wines a menu created from great quality locally sourced produce. Overall, an excellent experience, we’re just sorry we hadn’t been sooner, but will be returning again very soon for sure! Thank you for a great evening.

Booked for dinner and it was excellent including great vegetarian items. Good food, well presented, unusual elements to the dishes. Good value and efficient personable service from the team led by a charming wife and husband duo who know what they are doing.

A very informative two hour tour of the vineyards and winery process. Interesting facts and entertaining anecdotes given by our guide, Archie. Well worth the visit. The wine samples were all excellent.
Rating: 5 / 5
This was a very good wine tour, which was very informative and Andrew was very good and funny. Highly recommended. The portions of wine were very generous. We bought some wine in the shop afterwards
Rating: 5 / 5
We had a wonderful, early evening tour of the vineyard. Andrew was a fun and knowledgeable tour guide and we thoroughly enjoyed the wine-tasting and delicious 3-course meal in The Swan on-site restaurant afterwards. Would thoroughly recommend the Luxury Dining Experience as we also came home with a complimentary bottle of bubbly!
Rating: 5 / 5
Did a tour & wine tasting here on 9th July. Tour guide Andrew was very good & made the whole experience fun. The wines were good & staff very friendly. Lovely patio to sit & enjoy a glass or two after the tasting & also a very well stocked shop.

Little Silver Country Hotel

Rating: 4.5 (383) Price Level:
We purchased a Virgin experience voucher for a weekend hen do with Chapel Down Winery and a one night stay at Little Silver hotel included. Trying to navigate a hen do of 17 people was quite the challenge, but Little Silver went above and beyond to assist us. Numerous emails back and forth, arrangement of transportation, several dietary requirements and numerous requests, Little Silver did not disappoint. The hotel was clean, spacious and eccentric. Diane went above and beyond to make sure everything was organised and our dinner and breakfast was a success. Thank you to the Little Silver staff for a great stay albeit short!
Rating: 5 / 5
Stayed here as part of a Virgin wine experience tour and the staff made us feel very welcome. The service when we had dinner and breakfast was very good and the food was very nice and great value. My only criticism would be that the beds are too soft, but that is just personal preference. I highly recommend a stay here.
Rating: 5 / 5
Stayed here as part of a wedding party. For the wedding the ceremony, the dinner and disco took place in the same room with staff changing everything to make it appropriate for the next leg of the service. Staff were very accommodating and friendly going above and beyond to help out. Rooms were nice and clean, bathroom had a shower only but water was nice and hot. As the building is old some of the floorboards are a bit creaky and you might hear next door from time to time. This is not often or loud enough to be a problem.
Rating: 5 / 5
Amazing stay. All staff were so polite, helpful and friendly. Lovely comfortable room. Fantastic breakfast. Beautiful hotel. We shall most certainly be back. Throughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

We visited the Fat Ox in Tenterden today, having won a meal for two on a facebook competition.. we would have happily paid for the meal as it was all amazing. We both had the pork belly with crackling, pigs in blankets on the side, one portion was plenty for two to share, and a Biscoff cheesecake for pudding. We both had clean plates and were really impressed. The pub was busy and had a lovely atmosphere.. Landlady Amy and her barmaid Hannah were really friendly and provided fantastic service. Would definitely go back!

Superb food as always, great selection of roasts and rest of the menu and brilliant service from Aimee and team 💕 Highly recommend.

The food was great with very generous portions. The staff were lovely. My only slightly negative comment was the overpowering smell of bleach which was a bit off putting. If we were in the area again we would certainly return.

Just could not wait to savour their lovely food this this not so insta ready pics 🤣🤣🤣 We LOVE the food at This Ancient Boro and they never disappoint! So far our favourites are the salt & pepper squid, bavette steak in yummy sauce, garlic gambas, garlic mushrooms, pardon peppers, créma catalans, lemon tart, sticky toffee pudding & more. Sarah’s team is super nice with a special thank you to Freya & Rosie last Sunday. Oh, and they’re 100% dog friendly too 😊 Highly & wholeheartedly recommended!!!

This is an excellent little pub. The beers are well kept with a good selection that changes regularly and can be sampled as a tray of thirds. The same for ciders although I haven't tried those yet. The staff are very welcoming. As for the tapas...wow! We're gradually working our way through the menu and have not been disappointed once. Excellent real ales and authentic tapas, what more could you want.

Wow! What a little ray of Spanish sunshine in the middle of Kent. The food and service is absolutely perfect, I highly recommend the Gambas pil pil. The biggest and juiciest prawns I’ve ever eaten. All that was missing was the Mediterranean Sea. Thank you Ancient Boro.

This Ancient Boro The best roast and tapas we’ve had for YEARS!! We were lucky enough to be treated to a delicious Sunday lunch by Sarah, the owner of the pub, while we’re taking care of Raffles and Florence for her & Mark. OMG WHAT A TREAT!!! It was really like being in Spain ☀️ Our neighbours at the table next to us were laughing because we just couldn’t stop saying how good it all was 😅 As a bonus, the whole staff was brilliant: attentive, helpful, kind. HIGHLY recommended. If you’re local to Tenderden: book your table now! If you’re coming from further afield: it’s 100% worth the drive!

Lovely food and quality entertainment. Only fly in the ointment was,I booked for 5, when one couldnt come, I was charged full price for their booking. It just makes it difficult, because even if you want to go with others, you will need to make sure they take responsibility for their own booking

Great food here. A Birthday celebration meal and yet again the good was excellent. All chefs specials are recommended. The staff are helpful and friendly and thr service was quick and efficient. Only dropping one star for the cost of the soft drinks 6 cokes came to over £31.00 which I thought was a little steep.

Travelling down from Oxfordshire for a family gathering so a curry was perfect. Fantastic experience, and I would highly recommend it. Staff are very friendly and helpful. We sat in the small bar area for over 2 hours before moving to out table (our choice) and had a great night. The food is very good, such an extensive menu it's hard to choose when you want to try everything. Will definitely come back.

Very tasty meal. Would have liked more fresh herbs but perhaps chose the wrong dish. Reasonably priced. Not a great atmosphere but wasn’t going there for that and didn’t expect there to be so all good. Need better lighting!

Can believe this is the first time we’ve been. This is definitely going to be a regular for us. The mrs and I just had a perfect lunch. She had the mix grill and I had the fillet steak. Both meals cooked to perfection. Service was spot on. Definitely recommend. ….thanks guys, see you soon

Stumbled across this place on a road trip. Maybe had been camping so long but this food was divine and what felt like very authentic Turkish cuisine! The service was top notch and had a sense of humour perfect for me and my friends. Sat outside with a lovely view of the high street. Tried the signature strawberry desert to finish our order of all starters and soup shared. Will definitely take a meander back here if ever in the area again.

Another FANTASTIC meal at Ozgur. The service was fantastic which started with a warm welcome and continued with a friendly and brilliant service all round and throughout. Food was out of this world. Cooked to perfection. We had the main meal for 2, served with different meats and rice. I don’t normally like lamb but the way they cook it is amazing, great portion sizes I was full up but couldn’t help but eat just that little bit more. I wish I could give more than 5 stars as this place really deserves it.
