The Paddlesworth Arms is more than just a pub, it is the centre of village life (along with the church). It has a traditional thatched roof, one of the last in the region. Whether it is Peter Muddle's speed dating or Josey Barge's karaoke, there is always something going on at the Arms. Furthermore, the gimlets are to die for.

After a day of exploring Dover Castle and walking through Biggin Street, we decided to dine at this…read more popular and recommended pub. A perfect place to rest and recount our adventures for the day. There were quite a few diners in, and the space seemed a lot larger once inside, with a bar and several rooms to accommodate small and large parties. We were seated near a party of 10! Service was friendly and leisurely, which we welcomed. Only one staff was taking and distributing orders and he advised of the delay in service. The food was delicious and had we more time in town, would likely have dined in again.

We just arrived from a cruise trip, while visiting Dover Castle we were looking for a great stop…read morefor lunch. This place is fantastic, easy walk from Dover Castle and just so happens to be Dovers oldest pub. The menu for lunch is small, feels like it's because they want to do things right. The fish and chips- highly recommend. However unless you are starving I recommend you split it with a friend. When we arrived we were immediately greeted, service was excellent. For families like us, they do have high chairs. They will take your order if you sit inside. There's also an outdoor garden however you need to come to the counter to order. Same with drinks. Each room has a lot of history. Take one look around and there's a lot going on. Apparently this location used to be a part of monastery and has evolved over the years now to a great pub. Each dish we enjoyed, the vegetarian linguine was fresh, chips were delicious and the fish was wonderful. If you're cruising in and need a place for a good meal not too far from the port or to Dover Castle- I recommend you swing on in. Highly casual so you can come as is or for special occasion.

Good quality beers handled with love. Through the bar the restaurant and roof terrace stretch both overlooking the sea. Elegant and modern the food fits the surroundings. This was the first time I have been for lunch and a family visit to grandparents in the rain was the perfect excuse. Food was pretty much faultless - beautifully presented, perfectly cooked from great ingredients. Fish by the sea - as it should be done..... Definitely on my return to list for the summer.

Since Henry and Jude (ex Clarendon landlords) took over this place it has gone from strength to…read morestrength. They completely gutted both bars and it has been lovingly restored to a classy Victorian back street boozer. As a free house they usually have 4-5 real ales on tap which are well looked after and maintained. The clientele are a mixed bunch representing most of the community in Hythe. They have regular live music performances and held a real ale festival in August which was very popular, with over 30 ales on tap at various points of the weekend. There are two bars, and there is the idea to introduce food on the right hand bar at some point. The garden has been completely worked over to provide a covered and heated smoking area, and this has been very popular. Busy on the weekends. Parking can be a bit of a nightmare, so use public transport

I was raised partly in Italy and this was some of the best Italian food I've had in 15 years of visiting the U.K. since I graduated Uni there. An Italian family own and operate the place and they're hospitality is second only to the food. Absolutely amazing meal, just tell them what you don't like and they'll bring the rest. I wish I could give them more stars. I will share some of the photos from the beautiful evening I spent on the patio. I just wish I had a lover with me to share the experience with.
