| A pleasantly located hostelry serving good beer with a very nice large beer garden with very good views. Nothing not to like. Harveys was good, service was friendly. terenced - 23 Jul 2019 10:03 |
| I actually really like this country pub. though it is too far away to come more often, I live in tunbridge wells, I make a point of coming here when I am in the west, east grinstead etc. The garden is fantastic with it's views and it's size, the beer is certainly o.k. and, as I prefer pub grub to restaurant food, the portions are really large and wholesome. My family and I always like coming here and I would thoroughly recommend it. randallette1 - 11 Mar 2019 12:41 |
| I've been coming here on and off for over 30 years and it hasn't changed much. OK it has - they stuck a dining room on the back about 15 years ago - but the pub itself, and the lovely garden with the views, feels unchanged. It's a good pub without being anything special, decent food at a fair price and a fine pint of Larkins - only the one handpump on my recent visit - and not so green wellie as the Rock. So worth a stop if you're in the area, or if you've been to Annie's up the road (Queen's Arms) and need some food. 20 minutes walk up the hill from Cowden Station; you can roll back down in 15 if you've had enough! lynx - 11 Aug 2013 23:14 |
| I had lunch here yesterday and funnily enough had the lasagne like the last reviewer. I thought it was very nice and definitely looked and tasted home cooked, it was also very good value. I felt welcomed and the pub is dog friendly so that wasn't a problem either (as I had my mutt with me). There's a lovely big garden and separate play area which I'd imagine would be great to keep children occupied while also being able to keep an eye on them. All in all, a nice country pub and great value for lunch. It is pub food not restaurant food but does what it sets out to do very well in my opinion and I'll definitely be going back. wobblymoth - 28 Jun 2012 14:00 |
| Saturday lunchtime. Waited ages at the bar before being acknowledged by the barmaid. Yes, you do have to change the roll in the credit card machine; yes, you should serve earlier customers first; yes, I should wait my turn. But it would have been nice to get a welcoming smile and some comment along the lines of 'sorry I won't be a minute'. An unwelcoming start. A nice crowd of locals soon turned up, and the atmosphere improved accordingly. Also their merry banter covered the sound of Radio 2. (Why? oh why? If I want to listen to Radio 2 - unlikely - I can do that at home. God I hate muzak.) The Larkins was terrific. But the food was really poor: my lasagne was cold and tasteless - I kept adding salt in the hope of finding some flavour, but no luck. This despite the fact that it came from the 'home-cooked' specials board. Twenty quid for two is cheap, but I'd rather have paid thirty to have pleasant welcoming service and food that was edible. Especially a smile costs nothing. Recommended for drinking only - and then more for the regulars than the staff. Sorry - can't give it more than a 4. LDW - 13 Feb 2011 12:15 |
