Most of the ingredients are locally sourced and the portions are large.The last time I visited I had locally caught Whitstable fish wich was delicious. They do a special 2 course lunch or why not go the whole hog( no pun intended) and visit on a sunday for an excellent roast. They have 3 bedrooms too for B & B. I would advise early booking for the restaurant as even though it is off the beaten track it gets very busy.

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.

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.

All around the table were pleased with their orders but I have to say that I was the winner when it came to ordering. I started with the Italian style antipasti which included an incredibly succulent bresoala cured by the chef himself. The starter was a rich, velvety langoustine bisque that was so sensational I had to let everyone at the table try it once but they weren't allowed a second sip! The main course of salt marsh lamb was succulent and served with perfectly cooked and seasoned vegetables. The quality of the ingredients was so clearly evident as is the chef's care and attention in cooking and plating up well-presented but unfussy and generous portions. We were all incredibly satisfied with the meal and an excellent bottle of wine. The service was friendly and welcoming and the pub itself feels like an undiscovered gem in the sleepy Kent countryside. Highly recommended on all fronts.

The restaurant is a lovely room with a great real open fire and lovely outlook over the churchyard. On our recent lunch here I had Mulligatawny soup to start which was delightfully spiced with fresh coriander, garlic and ginger flavour and not at all heavy, it came served with delicious home made bread. I followed this with cod fillet which came with a fish cake served on a lovely bed of kale and with what they describe as an old fashioned egg sauce, delicious. Unfortunately we didn't have time for pudding but they do delicious desserts, everything home made. Food is locally sourced and free range/organically grown so green,healthy as well as tasty. Great and friendly service. Prices are very reasonable.
