Visiting the nearby Ightham Mote for my birthday, I was looking for somewhere special for lunch and…read moreThe George and Dragon popped up on my radar being Michelin recommended. The menu, pictures (and Yelp reviews!) looked great so I booked on-line for the 2.30 lunch slot giving us plenty of time to enjoy our morning. Unfortunately, we were ten minutes late due to traffic, and when we arrived we were told that we would have to order quickly as the kitchen shuts at three. We were rapidly seated and lingered over while we perused the menu. We started with a glass of Prosecco each and I hastily went for the pork belly and my partner went for the celeriac risotto. We didn't order starters, and I didn't really get chance to have a proper look at this part of the menu. While the children's menu is substantial, it is definitely aimed at the older ones and there wasn't really anything suitable for my 15 month old. This wasn't a problem as we knew he could share ours, plus we had brought reserves! The food came quickly and was very tasty, I couldn't fault either dish but before I had even finished mine, the waitress came round with dessert menus saying that we would have to order straight away if we wanted one. I think this is the first time that I have been made to order dessert before I have finished my main! My rhubarb and ginger cake was good but my partner was a little disappointed with his cheesecake. We ordered tea and coffee to finish and were finally able to relax. Although I can't complain about the food or the friendliness of the staff, the fact that we were rushed so much from the minute we walked in put a dampener on the experience for me. If you are not prepared to serve dinner in an unhurried fashion, don't take a booking at that time. Yes, we were 10 minutes late which was entirely our fault, but we could have also ordered starters delaying the whole process even further.

We had a table in the huge garden and received excellent service from Holly and her colleague, whose name we didn't get but he was also very helpful. Three of us had steaks and the other one had a chicken and avocado salad. The food was delicious, and all three said their steaks were the best they had had for ages. The play area was full of happy children, which made an enjoyable background hum to our conversation. Overall, a brilliant late afternoon and we can't wait to visit again. Thank you King's Arms, and compliments to the chef. See you soon! A, J, D & T + S!

If the weather is nice, you really owe it to yourself to sit outside and enjoy a meal with the sweeping views of the countryside. It's not just a pub and restaurant. They also have a shop on site selling food and wares. There's ample parking and a lot of outdoor seating. I wish I knew that their Yelp review had no photos at all. The only photos I took were of my food. The food is so tasty and well made. There's a broad variety and (thankfully) there are several really delicious vegetarian choices. The beer is varied and good. I'm not down this way often, but when I am, I stop in.

Its now a firm favourite with me and my friends. Its quite a traditional pub in the way its decorated and titled, but it still attracts quite a young and trendy crowd at the weekend. It hosts a really good range of beers, wines and spirits and they pour a mean pint of Guinness here too! I believe they do both bar snacks and main meals here but i havent had the chance to try them, though im told they are good value. The landlord and staff are very friendly here, and i immediately felt welcomed when i first came here. Nice sunny courtyard out the back as i remember too. Check it out!
