Delicious. We spent the day at Leeds castle and were looking for a good country pub to eat at. I…read moresearched for Freehouse on google maps and Three Chimneys popped up. 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.

I am an expat so I expect good service living in North America but in England that's sadly lacking. This was an exception and happy to blog about it. Had a wonderful meal, food, drink and atmosphere was very good and had an excellent experience. When I tipped the waitress 15% she even brought the change back saying she thought we had over paid her and I told her she had earned it and to 'go away' . Why can't other places and people in the UK be like this. Last time I took my mother to another one of the pubs owned by the same person it was also very good, think that was the Old Mill in Ashford. Keep up the good work. Well done you guys!!!!

Dishes change daily so the menu is written on a chalk board, we were warned that the menu was smaller than normal being a bank holiday weekend but we were honestly spoilt for choice! I went for the chicken, ham and leek pie with roast potatoes and vegetables. It was possibly one of the best pies I've had. I then had a dime cake for pudding. The portion sizes were huge and the service was wonderful. If you are looking for a local pub for some good quality home cooked food this is the perfect place!!

The lovely open fire and the gorgeous Christmas decorations made this a pub to go out of your way for at this time of year! We'll definitely be going back to try some of the other items on the menu.

The chicken liver parfait with pickled cherries was a gorgeous starter. The lamb cannon and confit breast with olives were lush. The strawberries, cream and meringues were delicious. The service was frustrating. When we arrived, they couldn't find the reservation by my name. After I provided the confirmation number, they eventually found it. We were asked to wait in the lounge or on the deck, as our table was being prepared. 30 minutes later, we still hadn't been seated or updated, so I had to talk with three different people before someone could sort out a table for us. The server who took our order got it mixed up with the table next to us, food and drinks were really slow in general and we ended up having to modify our cab pick up time (and cab service in Tenterden isn't abundant). The staff were friendly enough, but they were either having an off day or they need better management/organisation. There were lots of staff members who all seemed to share coverage of our table, so it was disjointed service. But, if you're not bothered by slow service, etc., it's worth going purely for the food. Plus, it's part of a lovely afternoon at the winery, which is fabulous.
