To the point, that a couple of friends have celebrated their weddings at this location. 7 of us headed here for a late Sunday lunch and each of us loved our dishes.

Very disappointing. On arrival at The Moat we waited 10 minutes before a quite grumpy woman (who I…read moreassumed was the manager) told us that we could only have a table in the bar or garden although we could see a number of empty tables in the restaurant. We were told to take our menu from the side table which we did and took a table in the bar. The table had not been cleared even though no one had been seated there all the while we were waiting to be seated. There were still dirty glasses and used sauce packets on the table which stayed there until I had to ask the grumpy woman if it could be cleaned while my husband went to order the food at the bar. "Yeah 2 seconds" was her response. She then came and took the glasses and cleaned the table herself so I can only assume they did not have enough staff and was probably the cause of her bad mood. My husband said we were to get our own cutlery from the side board but there was none in the trays so my daughter took some from the laid up tables in the restaurant area. The food arrived... Umm not great. The burger was supposed to be in a brioche bun but it was just an ordinary burger bun, the chips were hard and not very hot. I ordered blue cheese dip to go with my steak but when it arrived it was not very blue cheese flavoured and I though I had been given the garlic sauce instead as it was very garlic flavoured. The waitress apologised and took it back to the kitchen. She returned to say that it was the correct sauce but the blue cheese sauce does have garlic in it. My steak was tough and I still think it was not the correct sauce but we ate our meals anyway. It was edible but not great. No one came to see if we were ok or if we needed anything more so as my husband had paid when he ordered we got up and left. We will not be going back as we did not enjoy the experience and felt like we were an inconvienence.

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.

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.

They also do Sunday lunch and noticed on the menu this featured homemade soup and puddings, three courses for just £10, if the portions are going to be like the lunch we are going to come very soon!

I had my doubts after reading the sole "2-Star" review on Yelp, but the place was packed whenever…read morewe drove by, so we made a reservation for a traditional English Sunday roast, but with a twist, this place is a buffet. They apparently fixed the problems they had when they first opened, not uncommon. The place is new and tastefully furnished with a small bar and John Smiths, unfortunately, as their sole ale. We made a reservation for 6:45PM on a Sunday, being seated at 6:48PM, not bad. The service was friendly and efficient as it should be. You can "Trade-Up to a King Size" at a cost of around £12 ($16.25), so the small ones must be £10.50 ($14.25) or so. I am guessing because I did not see the prices anywhere, not having looked at the menu (why order a starter at a buffet?) and because our friends treated us. The rule is (for any size plate) - one trip for meat and as many as you want for the sides dishes. They start by literally tossing a Yorkshire pudding on the plate and the choice of meats included roast pork, turkey, ham and beef in that order. I assume you get "about" the same weight in meat no matter how many you choose, so I asked for the pork and beef. The serving size was adequate, not too much and not too little. The Yorkshire pudding was a bit too dry in the middle, consequence of making so many at once and leaving them sitting under a heat lamp for so long. Then there were the choices of sides: roasted potatoes, stuffing/dressing, mashed potatoes (plain and with mustard seed), green beans, peas, some orange things I never heard of, scalloped potatoes, creamed cauliflower, brown gravy, and horseradish, mint and cranberry sauces. Beside the pudding, I had the roasted and mashed potatoes (I did not care for the mustard variety), some stuffing, scalloped potatoes and cauliflower with brown gravy on nearly everything and horseradish sauce on the beef. "Brilliant" as the locals would say. The food was very good and a decent TravelValue for the price. Make sure you trade-up to the "large plate" for an extra €1.50 and extra meat, including a couple of sausages. Traditional Sunday roast buffet-style ... HOOAH! The downside: 1) The parking lot is not big enough for the number of cars .... the place was packed; 2) Beer/ale selection was inadequate; and 3) the Yorkshire pudding was not fresh - too dry CombatCritic Gives Toby Carvery 7 Bombs Out Of 10 ...
