We started with our Baked Camembert. Similar to Brie it was so good and we were stuffed before we even got our 16 oz Rump Roast. Speaking of the rump roast, it was very well prepared and the chips [fries] were very crispy on the outside. The service in the restaurant was excellent. I was able to get a red ale from the bar and my wife had a ginger ale with Jameson. Such a great way to end a day of traveling via planes, trains and automobiles.

The food was very good, the hardworking staff although very busy were very attentive and efficient, friendly and very helpful. The price was very good value. Altogether I cannot fault the whole experience and hope to visit again with friends in the New year. A big gold star for the Butt of Sherry from us all. I recommend them highly.

Popped in here while looking for a lunch on Hythe High Street. It was literally the last restaurant…read morethat we could see for a while, and we were starving. The venue is very much an old pub, in a good way. Low ceilings, wooden beams, nooks and crannies to hide in etc. The menu is fairly extensive, and they offer the option of having a smaller portion - an idea I LOVE! I was here with my father, who loves liver and bacon, so he had the smaller portion of that, while I had a cheese and pickle sandwich. Pa's food was lovely - it was a pretty big plateful, so heaven knows what the ordinary portion is like! The liver and bacon were cooked just right and the veg was fab. My sandwich could have done with a lot more cheese, and a lot less bread. I had opted for 'brown' bread, but it was in fact granary. I don't usually mind that at all, except it was a doorstep with lots of bits in it, ready to get stuck between the teeth. Also, the lettuce it was served with had seen better days, and I don't understand the concept of putting lettuce with pickle. It's just wrong!! The table behind us was celebrating a birthday, but were too embarrassed to sing while the cake was brought out - so we and several other tables joined in to make a noise. They were very pleased, but didn't offer us a slice of birthday cake... On balance we enjoyed it, it was good value and friendly service, but I wouldn't bother going back here, as there are other places to try in Hythe that look more inspiring.

Popped in for a bite to eat last night and were pleasantly surprised…read more Only Sheperd and Neame beers available but that was OK as we tried them first and liked them. We had a trusty old baked Camembert with bread and salad to share to start - the cheese was great, the bread wedges generous but rather tasteless but a fresh small salad and the red currant jelly was a nice touch. I had planned to have the broccoli, mushroom and cheese pie but saw the specials board and ended up with the red pepper, spinach and mushroom stroganoff with saffron rice. The rice was fluffy but with little flavour but the stroganoff was lovely with gene ou nicely textured mushrooms and a good flavour. My partner loved his liver and bacon very much. Having been surprised by the tastiness of the first two courses, we went for pudding. My boyfriend's Eton Mess was great my all accounts with tasty strawberries. I had white chocolate and lime cheesecake with vanilla ice cream. It had a good texture, a tasty base, but sadly tasted of nothing really. The ice cream was bog standard vanilla and quite forgettable. The place itself has character with an sizeable fireplace which I would expect is great when lit. The carpet looked really dirty and was seriously overdue for a clean. Most of the staff were pleasant and helpful though some people were getting somewhat fraught and abrupt service at other tables.

Recently completely refurbished and redecorated, there is a large carvery restaurant, and the best bit - Sunday lunch all week round, a choice of roasts, with loads of yummy vegetables. The prices are very reasonable and they do a brisk trade at lunch times. Nice to see that they also keep a discount for older customers who are watching the pennies. wide selection of beers and the real ales are well kept.

The selection of beers was not good, and the real ale we tried was certainly past its best. We did not stay to sample the food. There is a pool table, and a darts board and with a bit of care and attention this could be a great pub, but I get the feeling it has been left to rot. The tables were dirty, with empty glasses not being cleared away, notice boards had messages for events, which were out of date. Does have regular live bands so perhaps the place livens up then, but I have never ventured in again.

Instead of the apology we were expecting, he told us that he had checked the pie himself and thought it acceptable. When we pointed out the problems including the 3 pieces of meat inside, he justified this by saying that they were big pieces!!! POOR FOOD, POOR SERVICE, POOR MANNERS, POOR SHOW!!!
