The best restaurants serving British food in Weald Central Ashford South East

Wanted to like this place and show support as it hasn't been open long, but. ........Of our two starters one wasn't hot enough and the other (halloumi fries) was overdone.......I mean, how can you overdo halloumi fries ? Mains were OK......just OK. The girls serving showed a lack of care, and I wouldn't want to be the owners relying on them to be the front of their business. Mind you the owner was there and she didn't show much care herself. A very basic expectation is to be asked during the meal if the food was satisfactory, but no chance of that. So good luck guys, but if our experience was typical you have an uphill battle at a time when it is very difficult to run a pub or restaurant. On the plus side, it was decorated nicely and felt very homely.

Had a very enjoyable lunch last Sunday. Service was attentive and friendly. Food was well cooked and seasoned. Yorkshire puddings were really excellent. Venue has large parking space and level pathways to interior. [If you have mobility issues use the left hand side carpark at the end of the drive] In all excellent value.

What can I say? Diane, Andrew and Team Chequers you did not disappoint us last night - excellent food, fantastic service, a very warm and friendly welcome and a lively, vibrant atmosphere. What a way to bid farewell to 2024 and welcome 2025. The fireworks were amazing - thank you all for your hard work, the attention to detail and being such fabulous hosts. Happy New Year to you all :-) x

Stopped for lunch after a very long walk. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The food was great. Fish and chips were perfect. My hubby had a burger which he said was very tasty and home made and my friend had the risotto which she enjoyed too. All at a very reasonsable price. 100 per cent recommend.

An amazing place ! Stop over before our crossing into Europe . We planned an early arrival but the M25 didn’t allow it to happen. Great warm atmosphere when walking into the bar to check in . Lovely host couldn’t do enough. Rooms spotless, food faultless. Credit to the owners . Wish we had a pub in our village that was so welcoming and upbeat. Five stars guys 👍

We had a lovely lunch here on the 21st of December all very last minute as we were in the area.. The staff were fantastic gave us a very table right next to the open fire 🔥 my husband even got to put on a log ... the food was very good 👍 our children were very happy especially with the ice cream and chocolate sauce 😋 had a little dog running very cute .. if we go back that way we will definitely pop back in .. couldn't fault it xx
