“We went to the British Queen for my husband’s birthday and really pleased we did. The best Sunday roast we can remember having - the beef was cooked perfectly, roast potatoes were tasty and crispy and lots of delicious vegetables. I’m dairy intolerant and the staff were really accommodating. Looking forward to coming back soon.”

“Held 60th celebration in the back room. Dan and all the staff were fantastic. Thank you.”

“First time we visited and we will definitely return. Lovely setting and the kids loved the garden, it was great having the canopy for shade on a hot day. The food was delicious and very reasonable. The staff were friendly and helpful, great experience all round.”

“I have lived in the area for over 12 years and never been in. Went today for the beer and cider festival. Very impressed. The young chap in the outside was very attentive. Will be back.”

“Staff were friendly, helpful and polite. Our cockapoo was made to feel welcome and water and dog biscuits was available at the entrance. The bar was lovely and cool (extremely hot outside). Food was very good and brought out quickly - perfect for an impromptu lunch”

“The Woodman is a great village pub that feels like you are taken back to an older time when you enter. The layout is quirky, but charming and it always has a good selection of Shepherd Neame beers on draught. Although I would not change the decor (love the hop vines in the bar area!), I would say that perhaps it needs a little tidying and cleaning up a little.”

“What a very weird coincidence- not from round the area but have friends down this neck of the woods. Last year we visited a pub in westerham after a walk in chartwell and today we visited the change of horse with a local friend and to our surprise we run into the same barmaid that worked in the westerham pub last year. As mentioned in previous review this particular young lady (who shares the same name as myself and I’m told the owner who I hope sees this review) Jayden. Her service is impeccable. From the minute we walked in the door to the minute we left we felt welcomed and looked after. She was rushed off her feet as she appeared to be the only staff working but that didn’t stop her. We ordered from the special’s menu starter and main for £12 and we’re not disappointed. The food was great we had the soup to start followed by a chilli and my friend a ploughman’s which were both lovely although the rice tasted like a pre made packet however at the price i would not complain. We decided after the lovely Jayden told us how good the desserts were to have chocolate cake which was to die for and a crumble which was delicious even if the portion size was very different. A couple of whiskeys in, nice food and wonderful service I decided to enquire about a Christmas Day booking. A little disappointed to hear that they were unsure if serving food when it seems the rest of the industry has sold out but alas did not have an impact on my experience. I’ve said it before and I will say it again Jayden’s service is outstanding we did not want for anything even after a busy day. Service charge well deserved. This pub could absolutely thrive with its good food, incredible staff. I just hope on my next visit it’s busier with more atmosphere”

“I visited the Black Horse for my Birthday to have dinner with family. The food was lovely and everyone enjoyed themselves. We had Shane serve us throughout the night and he was very helpful. I will definitely be visiting again.”
