If I wasn't going to award the Old Bell five stars anyway, I'd have given it an extra one for not…read morecalling itself 'Ye Olde Bell' But, it certainly merits the title 'Old', for parts of it date from the 14th Century. 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.

Let me start by saying that I went in because the building was from the 14th century. I took a…read morepicture on the outside and thought I had to have a beer given the historical setting. 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.

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.

The White Horse - To accompany my soup, halloumi fries! Eric's bangers and mash in the background.

After a day of exploring Dover Castle and walking through Biggin Street, we decided to dine at this…read more popular and recommended pub. 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.

We just arrived from a cruise trip, while visiting Dover Castle we were looking for a great stop…read morefor lunch. 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.
