The Print House Inn Tenterden - AA 4 Star Rated

Rating: 4.7 (83) Price Level:
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.

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.

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.

Good,friendly service. Mouth watering pizzas. Value for money(buy 1 get 1 free!!).
Rating: 5 / 5
Not really a dine-in kind of venue even though there are 2 tables and chairs provided. The pizzas, and it seems everything else, is made fresh while you wait. Or you can phone in your order for collection. Our pizza's were out of this world! The base was cooked crisp but not burnt. The cheese melted perfectly and the toppings very generous. Both were served with a relevant sauce on the side which added to the great experience. We will DEFINATELY return to try other menu items.

We had a really lovely family meal (in. Dog) we accidentally booked for happy hour and enjoyed a few cocktails with our meal. Food was delicious and the service was super friendly! The pub is beautifully decorated too. Only downside was, I could have eaten more! But really recommend.

The Hoof & Hook is Situated in the heart of the historic town of Tenterden in the middle of the High Street in the building that was formerly Café Rouge. It has had a complete makeover, not just in its appearance but also the menu. The food is absolutely excellent, very high quality and beautifully presented. I had a "Hoof Classic" burger with fries and it was was delicious, cooked to perfection and the portion size was spot on. Probably one of the best burgers I have had in years, it consisted of two beef patties, cheese, lettuce, pickles, cheese and bacon all served in a really nice bun (sorry I missed the photo). My mother had the King Prawns (pictures attached), she said that they were probably the best King Prawns she had ever had. The service was outstanding and our waitress was very friendly and attentive. I highly recommend the Hoof & Hook. 10 out of 10 guys and keep up the excellent work, looking forward to seeing you all again soon.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Hoof and Hook in Tenterden, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The service was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. We started with the Kentish Mini Tacos, and they were absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and a perfect start to the meal. The blend of local ingredients really shone through in every bite. For the main, I ordered the Hoof Burger with fries, and it was perfection on a plate. The burger was juicy, full of flavor, and cooked to perfection, while the fries were crispy and golden, just the way I like them. We also had the Asian Ribs , which were a delightful surprise—tender, packed with a rich, savoury glaze, and bursting with a perfect balance of sweet and spicy flavours. The combination of incredible food and warm, attentive service made our visit unforgettable. Hoof and Hook is definitely a must-visit if you’re in Tenterden! We will most certainly be back.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is an update: The meal we just had was beautiful, Staff polite courteous and informed . A real pleasure to eat here! Be prepared for large portions , I didn't. The nacho starter was as good as a main meal and really tasty. I had the bourbon ribs and couldn't even start the second one. Staff were quick, pleasant and attentive . The place was really busy and had a quick turnaround of tables. We weren't rushed in any way but do recommend booking especially at weekends. RECOMMEND.

Rating: 4.4 (497) Price Level:
Lovely place to stay, rooms are spacious and had a very large, comfortable bed. Lots of authentic charm about the building. Our room could have done with a slight update in some places and the crunching toilet can be disruptive, if you're not used to one but overall very nice room Staff were lovely and very helpful, took the time to make sure we were happy. The pub itself is excellent and again, seems to feel like your back in olden times. Fully recommend.

Well done Gary & team. Lovely quirky old building with modern fixtures & fittings. Fabulous dinner menu, the fish & chips are delicious, a ‘must have’ for every guest. Comfortable room and amenities. We’ll definitely be back.

We stayed at The Woolpack for one night - yesterday (Wednesday 13 November). Despite the building work next door (nothing to do with The Woolpack) we found the pub/hotel wonderful. A beautiful historical building with excellent staff. (The pumbing was interesting - it added charm). The room was lovely and the staff superb. The food was excellent, both dinner and breakfast. A special mention for the Manager, Garry (we belive that's the correct spelling) who was a master of all trades and an excellent host. We have reason to visit the area again and will do our best to book The Woolpack again. Thank you the Woolpack.

The food here is absolutely superb! I could not fault one thing on my plate. What could have been an average chicken was elevated above expectations. My husbands lamb was another level of excellence and the chocolate desert took us to heaven. I would like to mention the bar girl who assured us the food was good and was really attentive and super friendly 👌🙌😁

We had the best Sunday lunch we’ve ever had at the Woolpack . The pub is gorgeous, staff are lovely - funny and professional - my partner had the roast beef and I didn’t get a word out of him for the whole meal as he was enjoying it so much. I don’t eat meat and have suffered at the hands of dubious nut roasts across the entire county of Kent, but not at the Woolpack! Amazing nut roast - crispy and delicious. The vegetables were also stars in their own right - nothing heated up in a microwave etc. . . And the Yorkshire pudding was superb . . Love Love Love this Sunday roast, and would literally crawl on hands and knees from North Kent to go again . . ❤️

Pretty little pub where we ordered a full English bfast and eggs, both of which were tasty. The place was cozy and old-fashioned. One star removed because the small eats ‘available all day’ we were informed brusquely was not available before 11:30! They need to rewrite some of their stuff. Like the description of rich hot chocolate. We got a pale liquid that looked more watery milk than chocolate. When we asked if there could be more chocolate in it they said, nope only one powder sachet per mug, but we could have more milk if we wanted! 😂

Historic building with a story. Very quaint and welcoming. Service was attentive and friendly. We had a deluxe afternoon tea for 2 which was delicious. A great selection of teas and the sandwiches were very filling. In fact the whole afternoon tea was too filling so we took the cake selection home with us. Definitely would visit again.

I had the pleasure of visiting this place last week and was very pleased with my service. I have allergies which they highly catered for me. The waitress checked with the chefs and gave me multiple options. She was patient and kind. The food was delicious with very generous portions! For me menu is too restrictive so I wouldn’t return but I definitely would recommend and I appreciate the lovely service me and my two daughters received. Genuinely nice place to visit.

Great family pub with, Shepherd Neame beers, quality food and with dedicated dog-friendly area at the front and good-sized yard at the back. We especially enjoyed the sharing nachos, the special pancakes on the kids menu and the quality coffee. We visited at the end of a busy bank holiday so lots of options had run out but the staff were all great about this and really helpful.

Had a surprise Birthday Meal here for my Mum on January 2nd 2024. The staff were superb, attentive, friendly, helpful service. Nothing was too much trouble. I took a cake in and balloon for the table in the morning which they kept and bought out at the appropriate time along with plates to put the cake on. The food was all excellent, every guest loved their food. We had the Beef Burgers, chicken burgers, Nachos, Thai Green Curry, Steak pie.. 11of us in total. Drink was served and plenty of people frequently checked if we needed more and then serving as required. The staff really were 100% and this made for a fantastic evening with some lovely memories for our family. If you get the chance to eat here, you won't be disappointed. This is definitely my 1st choice for future bookings when I'm in the area. Thank-you to everyone who helped make our evening such a fantastic one.

We visited today, the place was beautiful, busy, welcoming, and dog friendly, I said my name, and the landlord remembered our email communications literally word for word! The team there are worth their weight in gold. The food was excellent, so delicious 10/10, my dog was offered his own plate, given a treat and given his own water bowl. We can't wait to visit there again, the prices are well worth it. The food portions were very ample. KEEP DOING WHAT YOU'RE DOING ITS FANTASTIC.

Me and my parents came and had the most wonderful meal. Kate served us who was the shining star from everyone else and gave us so much help with my mums bad hip. I had the tomato salad to start, trout and then lemon merengue. The trout was cooked to perfection and the ricotta on the starter was super creamy. Definitely recommend the fish dishes 🐟 Georgy x

Had previously visited Chapel Down for a vineyard tour and wine tasting and had wanted to visit the restaurant for a while. Dinner menu is decent, lots of choices. Pork belly option was very good. Went on a Saturday night and it was fairly busy and good atmosphere.

We thoroughly enjoyed a wonderful Sunday lunch at The Swan after a wine tasting and tour at Chapel Down. An inviting menu did not disappoint with starters of asparagus, morels and truffled egg yolk, tiger prawn and kimchee toast and tomato with cashew ricotta and raspberry. All beautifully executed and utterly delicious. Mains of ribeye of beef and pork loin with apple butter were equally impressive and accompanied by an exquisite array of fresh vegetables. Yuzu and orange tart followed and it was all washed down with a lovely crisp white by Chapel Down. Service was friendly, skilled and well judged and it all made for a gorgeous Sunday afternoon. I would highly recommend The Swan whether you’re wine tasting beforehand or not!
Rating: 4 / 5
Each dishes are well decorated. Asparagus was fresh and the Lamb Rump was tender. I felt varieties of Chapel Down sparkling wine selections were limited. I would like to try Three Graces etc without ordering a bottle. Rating 4-star for food given that it’s a £45 for three courses.

What a fantastic birthday celebration we had in the function room at the White Lion,Tenterden. The room is lovely and was perfect for our dinner celebration for 28 of us. The service from Hannah,Henry and team was the best, nothing was too much trouble. We opted for a fish n chip supper which was delicious and all 28 dishes came out hot. The room charge is really quite small so well worth considering for any celebration. We all said we would definitely book again.
Rating: 5 / 5
We booked the Function Room for a birthday party/surprise reception. Everything was really easy, from chatting with Bev and explaining it was also a surprise, to booking the buffet, having our cake delivered and secretly stored. On the day Hannah and Henry were very helpful. The buffet was delicious, with some dietary requirements easily met with no hassle. We have used the White Lion before, and won't hesitate to do so again. Thanks Team.

A convenient place to stay when visiting Chapel down winery. The rooms were ok, bed was comfortable and clean but the bathroom was quite tired. The breakfast was decent for the price. Service was quite slow when waiting to check out. Overall would recommend it for just a 1 night stay if visiting a local winery.
