About this restaurant

Great for outdoor dining
Great for scenic views
Good for groups

The Inn on the Lake is a three star, family run hotel in the heart of Kent.

Eat and drink outside, surrounded by natural woodlands, calm lakes, and beautiful gardens. Wine and dine from our bar menu on the lakeside patio, captivated by the panoramic lake views. Devour afternoon tea on the fountain decking, mesmorised by the gentle birdsongs. Enjoy refreshing drinks at the jetty, inhaling the botanics of the gardens. Or sit on the grass banks, watching the ducks forage amongst the reeds.

Situated beside the A2, and on the edge of Shorne Country Park, the hotel is an oasis of calm amongst stunning scenery with easy access routes from the A2, M2 and M25.

Where possible, all reservations will be seated outside on the Lakeside Terrace or Fountain Deck but may not be guaranteed. When weather is not permitting, or the outside seating area is full, reservations are moved into the Lakeside and Willow Bars. Please contact the hotel for further details.

Strange dining facilities. Very austere. More like a works canteen. No consideration for 'softness' or 'romantic' settings. The food and menu, although 'basic' was absolutely superb. Exceptional. The chef deserves a big pat of the back. Strange that you pay for the meal before actually receiving the meal.

Beautiful lakeside location for afternoon tea. Very quiet and tranquil. Initial order delivered to table promptly. Wonderful selection of sandwiches (vegetarian option), scones and mini desserts. The only down point was I had to go and find someone to ask for a tea top-up. But the staff were very apologetic and brought more without delay (they were hosting a large group for a wake the time we were there so they were evidently engaged elsewhere). Excellent value for money as the location is so lovely. The weather was nice for us luckily but in case of rain I believe the afternoon tea is served in the indoor restaurant which is also lovely and still has great views.

The staff were really friendly, kept checking that we were OK and if we wanted more tea or coffee. Food was really good and a lot of it. We stayed much longer than our two hour slot and wasn't rushed at all.
