Went in there on a whim and the food was outstanding!

The service here is fab. I've been a few times and it's always been good. The food is of excellent quality and is cooked to a high standard, good choice on the menu too. Brought my daughter with me today (she's 3). She was made a fuss of by the waitresses and had a lovely kids meal!

Everything cooked to order with fresh ingredients. Very friendly servers and the new owner, Rebecca, is delightful and running a very good restaurant. She has 4 chefs, one of which is from Thailand, so some great dishes from there.Parking: Parking out the front, but also a large car park with entrance to the left of the pub.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy wheelchair access via the car park at the rear

Welcoming and dog

Came up to Essex from Maidstone, called through first as we wanted to eat but had a dog, very welcoming on phone saying not in restaurant but ok in bar to sit, eat etc with dog. Arrived and was greeted by AMY who showed us where to go, came over, chatted -took orders for the full English breakfasts with extra (BEST food - Tasty, could not fault anything) - the whole dining experience was first class from customer service / food - even the lovely interior of the pub. But it all comes down to first impressions and that Amy needs a payrise for that commitment shown to please the customer - big smiles !!! Recommend this place a million per cent.

We visited here yesterday as a family for Mothers Day, there were 7 of us. Atmosphere inside was lovely and upon sitting down the mums were offered a free glass of prosecco! The waitress came over to take our drinks order and advised us that they needed our table back by 5.15pm for another booking. Absolutely fine with this because we understand Mothers Day is busy (we were a tad worried 2 hours for 7 people wouldn't be enough time but brushed it off). We ordered starters first and the food was lovely, however the time it took between the starters being cleared and our mains to come out was around 40 minutes - we wouldn't normally mind as having a drink and a chat in between is perfect. but we had in the back of our mind that they needed the table back sooner rather than later.. the food came out to us around 4.45pm which left us half an hour to eat so we did feel a tad rushed.. Once our dinner was finished and the plates had been cleared we were waiting for them to ask us if we wanted to see the dessert menu but nobody came. My husband had to flag the waitress down to ask if we could order dessert to which she replied we could but to remember they needed the table back for another booking. Now we understand that they were busy with bookings but to tell us on more than one occasion that they required the table back for another booking made us feel as though we were being rushed out.All in all the food was very nice and the atmosphere was lovely however should we return it won't be on a special date (ie. Mothers Day)

Lovely staff, warm welcome ? and great ambience and interior. Outside areas looked lovely too, and the pub had an interesting heritage, with black and white photos on the wall depicting their history. We had a Sunday roast, and the food was fairly good. The parsnips and potatoes were undercooked however; the stuffing was hard, and practically raw. The turkey was dry (overcooked) and the meat cut into thick strips which was perhaps something they can review. That aside - the cabbage and condiments were good. The flavour of the meat and Yorkshire pudding was excellent and you could tell the meat was well sourced. The staff were ? amazing and front of house excellent. So we'll go back again and hope the elements on the roast are tweaked to get a top class review.

Starters was good, mains average, service and the wait to be served the food wasn't the best, had asked the waitress for sauces, waitresses basically said she was busy but she would get them over to us, but never came. Did also ask whilst ordering the main if sauces were available, didn't feel like asking for the third time. Once we had our main our family had asked for the dessert menu to then be told we had nearly taken up the 2 hrs slot and that if we did want dessert, we could have it but would have to sit elsewhere...this was never advised to us on arrival, or whilst sitting down (we had booked a table).
