The food is fantastic. Last night I had the Beef and Stilton Pie and I can honestly say it's one of the best pies I've ever tasted - and there has been a few! I'm not a huge fan of Stilton but it's subtle enough to taste but not overpower the meat and they throw in a little cheddar to simmer it down. Both the landlady and chef are very friendly and welcoming - just what you want from a country pub.

Child-free main bar but room for children if you must! My lunchtime 'snack' was a very tasty chorizzo and bean casserole with garlic bread in place of the crusty roll offered on the menu. Judi had deep-fried Double-Gloucester with a homemade chutney and salad She added a portion of garlic bread. Judi's Sauvignon was declared to be excellent as I had a pint of the best ale in the world (Harveys Sussex, of course!) I just wish we could go there every day and anyone living in the area is very fortunate to be able to dine there! You really should try it!

Five colleagues and I, at the end of an amazing week at a work conference, we're in desperate need…read moreof some food. Getting in a little late to go to London, we turned our attention to something close to the Gatwick airport. After finally sorting our Uber rides, we were off to The Farmhouse. First impressions were of a traditional British pub experience, which was a good start. Our clumsiness of grabbing a table and figuring out whether we needed to go to the bar to order or wait to be served, surely gave us away as "not locals." Our server was friendly and provided us with our menus and took our drinks order. The one shortfall was that the menu had a number of items not available and with an assist from a customer, two of us needed a rethink on their meal. In all, it was 4 Fish & Chips, One Farmhouse Burger, and a Battered Halloumi burger, plus an order of calamari, and 4 tomato and garlic soups. There were zero plates taken off the table that were not empty! I had the Halloumi burger, which had a great, crispy batter topped with some guacamole mayo with a red sauce on the side. Really good. Then we doubled down and hit the dessert menu! Two warm chocolate brownies with salted caramel ice cream and four plum tarts. We asked for some custard on the side because who doesn't like custard?! Save for the debate about whether it was more a pie than a tart, another set of empty plates were the only evidence left. Would definitely recommend The Farmhouse!

Service is super-friendly and helpful. Food continues to be excellent, and the drinks are on point. I will have a brief moan that the old, adorable snug in the front room has been replaced by a standard dining area, but I'm also just happy to have the Castle back in the community again. Cute as a button, as you might expect for a village whose entire core is a National Trust location, this place is worth a visit.

We sat in the garden and really enjoyed the buzzing atmosphere...listening to other ramblers talking about their walks through the "Garden of England" or visitors to the nearby castle. The food at the Castle Inn is really good: I had the ham hock stew with root vegetables and my walking companion enjoyed a paté made from duck confit and peppers...served with home-made chutney and granary bread. Apparently, and this is what the owner of the next door antique store told us, the owner at this place used to be the chef in some of London's really happening kitchens...well, he must've had a good education, because the quality of both food and service was really good.

Off the beaten path, but certainly worth the trek…read more While staying the weekend with some friends in Surrey, we decided to roam over to Kent specifically to visit this pub. It was a gem they'd discovered and wanted to share with their American friend (that's me). I'm not new to English pub life. For the last 15-ish years, I've been going to Ol' Blighty at least a couple times a year for work. Having friends and family scattered around, I've been lucky to explore a lot of untouristy spots. And the Rock is one of those gems. Nestled into the Kent (Garden of England), near Hever Castle and just off the road, you'll find The Rock. The bar staff are friendly, funny and just perfectly cheeky. The booze is tasty. I'm not a beer drinker, but they seemed to have good choices that kept my friend happy. The wine list looked inviting, but I was cold and tired, so I opted for an Irish Coffee. I am pretty sure the sugar, caffeine and booze set me on a bender for the rest of the weekend. I was WIRED and really happy about it. We kept drinking and were not disappointed. Finally we decided it would be smart to eat something, so we did. The Tweed Eggs and Piggy Pillows were inventive spins on traditional pub fare (Scotch Eggs & Sausage Rolls), but done to a new level. The Eggs included black pudding for an extra richness. The Pillows were an IMMENSE amount of delicious sausage inside a light fluffy pastry. We ate so much that I couldn't finish my sandwich. The sandwich was served on giant slices of beautifully crafted bread, melted brie, bacon and a lovely jam. I wish I hadn't filled up on starters, cuz that sandwich was AMAZING. But don't worry, I took it home. Oh, and the chips - the CHIPS! - not fries, not crisps (don't be confused my fellow Americans). They're proper chips. Now I'm a huge fan of fries, but there is NO correlation between American french fries and British Chips. They're different animals. I won't go into the finer details here, but just know that The Rock has chips to kill for. If you find yourself in Kent and happen to be hungry or thirsty - find your way to The Rock. You will not be disappointed. Also, if you happen to drink too many of their lovely libations, there is the Rice B&B available for 2 quid a night/person. Sleeps 3. It's a converted horse trailer, perfect for the lush who can't find her/his way home.
