About this restaurant

Good for groups
Neighborhood gem
Charming

We are situated in the beautiful Kent countryside in the village of Farningham. The pub was originally built in 1612 as a coaching inn on the main road between London and Dover. Over the years the pub has changed and in its current form has much to offer.

We have a 40 seat restaurant as well as our bar area which seats another 50 people and a beautiful enclosed garden with a smoking shelter, patio area with tables and picnic benches on the lawn. With food served all day every day as well as an amazing selection of fine wine and real ales.

Please use the menu to navigate your way around the site and look at our menus and other facilities we have to offer.

The restaurant called in the morning to advise that there would be live music and that if we would prefer to be seated away from the music we could. First class table away from everyone. This was good because we had with us a 98 year old with mobility and hearing issues. Served at the table not asked to order at the bar which I understand is usual. Roast meal was good only issue was we requested a half portion for the elderly diner as a large plate puts her off her food. Half/Childs portions not available so we needed to remove food on to our plates and it was wasted. Gravy served on the side which was great often pub’s don’t or won’t do this. We only had one course, service was swift and friendly. We will return maybe not on a Sunday/bank holiday when the menu was restricted.

Staff friendly, food ok, had to wait a good while for it. Unfortunately there were quite a few menu items not available. Both mains and desserts. Only 2 things on the specials board. All in all a bit disappointing for our first visit. 🙁

Unfortunately, we will not return to this venue. The food was cold and some of the vegetable were uncooked. Despite requesting a replacement that was no better either. The service was impeccable but the cooking of the food let it down.
