I visited this establishment some time ago with some overseas guests. Essentially, it was a special occasion and we really wanted to impress with some quality British cuisine, i.e. we were prepared to plump up some extra cash to ensure a top evening. Unfortunately, this was a mess from beginning to end - starting with having to walk through the haze of smoke from the waitresses hanging around the doorway, to having to actually find someone prepared to interrupt their break to serve us, to the cold, tasteless and overpriced seafood platter, to having to physically locate someone (again) prepared to serve us more wine, etc. We were made to feel like they were doing you a favour serving you.This restaurant is a shocker and must rate as the least value for money in Kent. It's not like it was busy either. I wrote and complained to the owner, but the response was pathetic - essentially, they couldn't give a damn. Basically, a nice pub, but I'd recommend you go next door the chippie if you are feeling hungry.

Food excellent,service good,but staff need training on how to be nice and make people feel welcome.Perhaps they feel they are doing the customers a favour by serving them.

Disappointed Paul

Pub that specialises in sea food but sadly lacks on Service.4 people eating and only 2 others in reasturant so not busy but, Table booked at 7.30 and finally at 9.45 pm after going to kitchen to ask for a menu we had a kitchen hand throw a desert menu onto our table. Our meals were served at different times, (I had eaten mine before others had got their meal served. Waitress was invisible when service was required (more drinks etc,) One occassion we had to interrupt meal to walk through entrance to kitchen and into bar to get our own drinks. This was after going to waitress who was folding napkins and asking her if we could have some service. All in all a anticipated good evening was ruined. Marks out of 10 sorry does not even rate a 1.

Excellent food the staff were friendly and helpful. The pub had a great atmosphere and setting. The menu had lots of choice but was quite expensive. All in all a great pub/restaurant.

Soup and cold buffet of crabs, lobsters, oysters etc was magnificent. Plenty of hot fish to try but the sauces were overdone thus and a more simple cooking of the fish would have been a better alternative. Great value for money though even if just for the cold buffet.

Excellent restaurant that is attached to an Old Inn/Pub. Lots of character to the pub. Food excellent and very good value for money. Quite an extensive menu. Would advise booking as it gets quite busy.
