From the owner: About Us The Barrow House is a pub…read morein idyllic Egerton, a village known for its thriving community spirit as much as its magnificent views across the Weald of Kent, picturesque cottages and local history. Previously known as The George, the inn was originally built in 1576 using timbers from sailing ships and traditional cob and straw plaster, which remain behind the 17th century timber frame, weatherboards and Kent peg tiles. The Barrow House prides itself on its food and whether you fancy a quick snack, a light lunch or dinner with friends and family, there's something for everyone on the menu. To wash it all down there are local beers, cask ales and a wide selection of wines by the glass. Upstairs there are three beautiful bedrooms, all with luxurious en suite bathrooms and enormous beds to ensure the most comfortable overnight stay or relaxing weekend getaway. Each room has a distinct personality, but they share in common space and light with large windows looking onto the village and valley.

They both had a fried egg on top that was cooked to perfection with the yolk still runny. The burger was cooked a perfect medium and was juicy. This is a beautiful old pub. Highly recommended. Oh and we were also served while the back room was full, but our service was quick and great. The price was amazing as well.

I had a bad experience in this pub in January but decided seeing as I was walking in this area to…read moregive them a second chance 8 of us went in for lunch at 13.30 (as forewarned that morning by phone) on 14.07.12 . The 3 having fish and chips and one having club sandwich were served 45 minutes after ordering. The four having smoked mackerel salad waited for 80 minutes to be served (we complained but were told that there were 13 in the back room and we were being fitted in around them) and then it arrived without potatoes and the portions were not even a starter size, more of an amuse bouche (one hard-boiled egg one rocket leaf a bulking of plain lettuce and a tea spoon of mackerel). We asked for the potatoes that were missing and one potato each arrived straight from the fridge after we had finished the rest of the main dish, why did that take 20 minutes? We complained and asked for a refund but 15 minutes later after the waitress had phoned the manager she returned to say that we had eaten some of the food so they couldn't give us a refund but could have a tea or coffee. At this stage we were fuming and couldn't wait to get out of there. In January when I had had a bad experience at the pub I had been told by the barmaid that the pub is owned by a chain but she couldn't tell me who so the waitress having to phone the manager is not surprising. It would appear that the chain seem to have invested in a cash cow and tough on the people who bother to come in - I have just checked the normal review sites and many have bad things to say but can't work out who owns the pub so have been able to complain to head office. Don't bother, there are a lot of gastro pubs in Kent that will look after you and serve you decent food without you having to chase the kitchen and then be sorely disappointed. AVOID PS I have had to give it one star due to the system but would rather give it minus 5 PPS I feel sorry for the waitress, there is sod all that she can do about it.
