Awful. Not a pub anymore. A massive shame. Staff briefed to chase away drinkers by being rude to them.

Delicious. We spent the day at Leeds castle and were looking for a good country pub to eat at. I…read moresearched for Freehouse on google maps and Three Chimneys popped up. Thankfully it was on the way back to our cottage so we went. I am thankful we did. The pub is amazing. Built circa 1420, it is everything you could want in a country Pub. Low ceilings, fireplaces and a friendly staff. To top it all off the food is amazing! We were there before 6:30 so we ordered from the bar menu. Farmhouse hash, which consisted off a Lamb and Onion hash topped with an over medium farm egg, covered with a gravy sauce. So stinking good. My wife had the Cod and Salmon fish cakes with homemade tarter. So fresh and tasty. Our girls shared the Rarebit and it was delicious. If we lived locally, we'd eat here all the time. It is definitely worth going out of the way for.

I'd heard uniformly good things about the Three Chimneys pub in Kent. It very nearly lived up to…read moreall of them. There's a mistake behind its name: the pub has but two chimneys. Apparently, during some past English/French conflict, French prisoners kept nearby were allowed to walk no farther than this pub. Because it's at the intersection of three roads the Gallic prisoners called the point les trois chemins. British tongues being as deft then as now, this got anglicised to the three chimneys. It's a very old pub with old, rough, head-bangingly low beams. It's broken up into several rooms and has a huge fireplace. There are two large outdoor areas for eating and drinking now, though. They provided table service for food orders and drinks in the back. Lots of real ales on tap, spigotted right from kegs setting in plain sight. Two Adnams', the Welsh Brains bitter, and a few others I wasn't familiar with. The food is a great attraction, though. The menu is nearly gourmet, and prices are as in London: starts are around £6 to £8, and mains are around the £15 mark. The starters we had - baked figs, and field mushroom with melted brie - were delicious. HOWEVER, just as we were wondering about the long time it was taking for our mains they came out and told us that the power had gone out in the pub. They couldn't cook anything, and were afraid to open the fridge without knowing how long they'd be without electricity. I can't fault them for that accident, I guess. Everything else about the pub was great. There's a very beautiful garden out back. It's within walking distance of Sissinghurst Castle, which has a National Trust garden.

We tried pretty much all the specials on the board, they do change every week and you can't go…read morewrong. Their pub classics are not to miss either, calves liver (the gravy is amazing), bangers and mash, steak and chips (with peppercorn sauce)... great pub, loads of character and the food is amazing.

This is an inn worth trying to find - the atmosphere is terrific and the food is wonderful…read more(honestly). It is important to book a few days ahead if you want a weekend meal and it is well worth the effort. The bar faces an open fireplace with seating and a low table - just right for a winter's evening. behind the bar is a room housing an old Aga cooker - presumably once the kitchen - but which now has tables for those who want to taste their delectable food. OK his is not an 'haute cuisine' establishment - it doesn't charge silly moey - but the food is really wonderful and the choice is remarkably extensive considering the quality. There are usually many fresh fish 'specials' in addition to their regular menu and all of them sound very good. The staff are clearly very well trained (or naturally well mannered) as the welcome is genuine. The location is deeply rural - a hamlet on the greensand ridge near(ish) Maidstone - you couldn'twish for a better spot. Wine? Well if the fabulous, and quite reasonably priced, Primitovo di Manduria we had last week is anything to go by then the wines are excellent.

Interesting pub with lots of items (some would say tat) all over the walls: little stuffed animals,…read moreporcelain figures, toys, etc. There's a main pub room in front of the bar, a dining room to one side, and a beer garden in the back. They had a disconcertingly large menu, though. They'd written out in great detail what each dish comprised and where the ingredients were from which made the whole menu extend over several blackboards. I had to walk around the pub to see everything on offer, which put me off a bit as it made ordering a bit confusing and time-consuming. The food was quite good, though. They have a full range from sandwiches and jacket potatoes up to grilled fish and beef stroganoff. And they seem to use a lot of local produce (my steak and ale pudding was made in the nearby village of Biddenden, for example). There's a small car park hidden in back, reachable from the small lane to the left of the pub.

This might be the only pub in Headcorn, I actually tried to check-in but Yelp didn't believe that I…read morewas outside of London... We were venturing out for a Virgin Balloon flight which they cancelled far too close to the launch time so we were already off the train... what's there to do in Headcorn? Well, from the looks of it, you can go here or go home, so go here we did! Not the cheapest pints considering I was hoping for a small town price list, but they had some local brews. Food was looking a little on the pricey side as well, but everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves (we were just on drinks!) I'll be sure to stop here if I'm ever in Headcorn again... because I think this is kind of it. Oh small towns, I love you.

Loved this pub! It is awesome. The perfect way to spend my last meal when visiting my parents…read more Traditional country pub, wood fires and a lovely menu! Dishes change daily so the menu is written on a chalk board, we were warned that the menu was smaller than normal being a bank holiday weekend but we were honestly spoilt for choice! I went for the chicken, ham and leek pie with roast potatoes and vegetables. It was possibly one of the best pies I've had. I then had a dime cake for pudding. The portion sizes were huge and the service was wonderful. If you are looking for a local pub for some good quality home cooked food this is the perfect place!!

We have been to this pub twice now once on a busy Saturday night and once on a quiet Sunday. Both…read moretimes the welcome was friendly, the service rapid and attentive, and the food excellent (big portions and a big choice). The London Pride was in fine fettle. Bob the landlord realised that we were new to the area and made a point of making us feel at home. The locals were also welcoming and we enjoyed a bit of banter with them. The lovely open fire and the gorgeous Christmas decorations made this a pub to go out of your way for at this time of year! We'll definitely be going back to try some of the other items on the menu.
