The first time I would say it was a 3-4 star experience (the service was a little slow and my pigeon was good without being amazing), but this time was a definite 5 star meal. We had the cod loin with pancetta and the brill with scallops between the 3 of us, and both dishes were excellent. The (massive) banoffee pie rounded off an excellent meal. Service was quicker this time and just as friendly. Oh and there's a nice pint of Harveys what's not to like? The Two Sawyers down the road should be worried

I was raised partly in Italy and this was some of the best Italian food I've had in 15 years of visiting the U.K. since I graduated Uni there. An Italian family own and operate the place and they're hospitality is second only to the food. Absolutely amazing meal, just tell them what you don't like and they'll bring the rest. I wish I could give them more stars. I will share some of the photos from the beautiful evening I spent on the patio. I just wish I had a lover with me to share the experience with.

It's a lovely, flower-decked half-timbered building, with which my guests from overseas were delighted. The interior is in keeping, too, and everyone enthused about the reasonably priced roast chicken. Not me, though I had the 'Pork Pie Ploughman's', for I don't like a heavy meal in the middle of the day. And, being something of a connoisseur of pies, this was as good as the product of Melton Mowbray although they're not allowed to call it such these days, for 'Melton Mowbray' is now a PDO. I can't speak for the beer, for it was my turn to drive. The others pronounced it satisfactory, though.

When I got inside I was disappointed because immediately you see a "slot machine" (one of those gambling machines you have in English pubs). I have nothing against them but given the history of the place, I think the owner would be better off making sure the place has a historic feel. As for the beer, they had only one cask ale (again disappointed) with all the other beers being the usual (Guiness, Heineken, etc); definitely not what I expected.

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.

My friends had chosen a better value meal in the form of garlic chicken which was served on giant oval plates for around ten pounds.

We came on a beautiful summer day and were able to sit out side in the back lawn. It is really beautiful back there surrounded by farm land. We didn't see much of the inside of the restaurant but i do remember it was a very very old building that was quaint and cozy. The staff was very helpful and like most english pubs you order you food and drink inside at the bar. There wasn't anything on the menu that didn't have meat in it so i asked the waitress and she said the chef could make me a vegetarian pasta dish. It was delightful and i was very grateful for that. All in all it was a great visit and i really enjoyed the food and service here!

They serve a small but good selection of real ales and have an extensive menu, including fresh fish. We had the lamb and the halloumi burgers: both were good the first time, but in the second the halloumi had been breaded and deep fried and was soggy rather than crispy. So a bit uneven (the lamb burger was £1 more expensive second time as well). Prices are comparable to London: the burgers, with a pint of beer and a coke were £35. Service was friendly although several times we had to wait at the bar, which was unstaffed. Overall, we had heard good reports, but our experience was slightly disappointing.
