Our table was booked for 2.15 pm and the place was heaving, absolutely packed. We had a fantastic meal, my daughter and I had the open lasagne which was squash and goats cheese with a pesto sauce I could eat that every day of the week it was heavenly, my daughter thought the same. My husband opted for the roast rib of beef and said it was really tasty, lovely bit of beef. We had chocolate fondants and bread and butter pudding for desserts which were also well above par. All in all (husband also said it was the best pint he had drunk for a very long time) we had a really enjoyable mothers day meal and we felt good value for money with quality ingredients, not frozen ready meals bought in like some pubs dish up. 6 August 2011 Had a really nice meal which we both enjoyed, nice touch having the home made bread and home churned butter. Lovely homely country pub atmosphere (and just love the hops hanging from the beams!), all the staff friendly and helpful. My husband happy with selection of beers The pud was really delicious.

There are ten walks in total, varying in distance, but all starting from the pub. Apparently there is a reward if you complete all ten - that sounds like a challenge I would like to accept!

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.
