Had a great time introducing my family to the local pub and enjoying lunch together. We had massive portions of fish and chips that were really tasty!

Had a great meal, king prawn sharing starter was excellent, fillet steaks cooked to each of our liking, perfect! Glad we tried it and didn’t take on board negative review. Couldn’t fault it or the price!

In far 2019 I did initially thought that this pub/restaurant was genuinely a good find. As the time has passed the quality of service (and food frankly) was rapidly deteriorating. 2 months ago when me and my friend as always visited the pub they managed to charge us for the 3 large wine bottles instead of 3 small (glass-sized bottles as they don’t do glasses) + the food. As everyone can imagine the bill was humongous. I still do not understand how this could have happened, but fine, as somebody said today people do make mistakes. When pointed the waitress corrected the bill and apologised. Today we have visited the pub again to have some food and a glass of wine with it after a lovely beach walk in Grain. Initially the waitress seemed very pleasant and polite, however a little intimidating, to be clear I do not have issues with that. After few minutes of decision making my friend ordered scampi & chips, I on the other hand decided to go with mussels & chips. Only then I am being told that they have got no mussels in stock today and she apparently forgot to pre-warn us about that. Fine, not nice, but I asked the waitress if anything else is missing from the list and only then she said yes, some leek pie (or something similar) was missing too. I asked her if I can get the bits from the Bar menu, she said yes. Again, she was a little intimidating and wanted to place on order NOW, I asked for some more time again to make a second choice. She asked if that’s fine to place an order for my friend which wasn’t ideal, but we said yes to that. I have made my second decision to go for some tempura prawns and salt & pepper calamari starters as my main. I did double check if they both are in stock, she confirmed, the order been placed. 10 minutes later I am being approached by a different waiter saying that salt & pepper calamari are unavailable too!! In the meantime my friend is getting her food and feels bad that she has to eat without me. They asked me if I want scampi instead of my calamari, I said no, cancel the tempura prawns then too and started to look through the menu again (attempt number 3, nice eh?!). As an attempt number 3 I decided to go for the rump steak which was finally genuinely available and I got it at the end! (Yaaay!!). I would like to highlight that all this problems that in my opinion could be easily eliminated do not help to relax in enjoy, on the other hand they make feel rather annoyed and very stressed. When finished food we have decided to ask for the bill (twice in fact). The younger waitress decided to simply ignore us. Again, fine, we have no issues re-choosing the meal 3 times in a row and asking for the bill 2 times in a row that’s what all guest must do and appreciate (as clearly, they are being fed for free or at least at the half price? – P.S. I am being sarcastic). Well, when we finally got the bill it turned out that we also got charged for the 2 starters I never had (1 of them was unavailable in fact). Do they even look at what they do there? I asked the younger waitress to correct the error and remove the starters we never had (£16.50 extra in fact). Which she did, however when we received the new bill, after all that never-ending hassle we had that evening she decided not to even say one bloody sorry!!! That’s where the patience has ran out! I asked her to apologies which she did after I have repeated it to her about 4 times, but if anyone means what means sorry not sorry, well that was that! Then I told her how would she feel if she went out, spend £44 (or £60 as what they wanted) and came out of the restaurant totally disappointed? I said that’s not normal and they should improve! And by saying at least bloody sorry she could change a lot (she did know how many times I was shafted that night). We paid, I went to the toilet and came back to another attack, the chef decided to get involved and have a go at me. I don’t know what she tried to deliver to me, something like people are allowed to make mistakes and she wishes my future child to me told off by somebody like me for m

Absolutely first class Sunday lunch for us all. Will definitely return and recommend to anybody. Huge dinner cooked to perfection. The crackling was to die for!!!
Last minute decision to eat on our way home from a day out, we found The Red Dog. The friendly staff found us a table on what was a busy sunny bank holiday (we didn’t expect to get seated as it was packed!). Our order came quickly and the food was delicious. All home prepared and cooked to perfection, really very very good and surpassed our expectations. Good value for money. We’ll done, thank you. Recommended and intend to visit again.

Great spot to stop for a beer or a bit of quiet time. A cheerful local pub, friendly and helpful people, in a very tranquil road, surrounded by green and a beautiful parish church, with a big front garden and classic food menu.I ordered one of the local dish with Kent mussels and what a taste! I definitely recommend it ???

First time visitor to The Red Dog, I visited with a friend and her grandchildren whom where made most welcome, my friend has moved to the area, wow what a treat great service all very clean and tidy and the food we ordered was well cooked and well presented, the team of staff ensured we enjoyed and wanted for nothing yet did not intrude on our conversation, very impressed and will be back I am sure for many a visit....Kid-friendliness: Down to the staff, each of the children were addressed to take their order for both drinks and food with options clearly explained. the large beer garden area ( a patio terrace ) was safe for the children to play in.Parking: Ample space to park and clean area to alongside the pub itself, off the road clear line of sight both ways when leaving.

Sunday roast beef here is awesome. The meat was tender, lovely yorkshire's and veg and the extra side of creamy cauliflower cheese was spot on. Friendly, efficient service and a nice relaxing proper country pub with real ales and all at a very reasonable price. What's not to like. Our second visit to the Red Dog and we'll definitely be back again.
