The Rock, Chiddingstone Hoath

Having just been back to The Rock we were surprised that it has changed hands again so soon! Arthur and Jackie said a silent farewell and we welcome the new landlords and their FABULOUS new Hungarian chef... what a star! We had delicious roast belly of Pork and a superb flat iron steak and it was a relief to know that our local actually serves GOOD food again... and at a reasonable price. It is apparently the intention of the new incumbents to keep it as a truly drinking pub that serves good food and they don't want it to turn into a bistro- which is just as well because the locals rely on a good, friendly place to visit whilst knowing they can get good service, great fare and a warm welcome- it would seem as if this pair are just what the locals have been waiting for.. and to top it all they open on a Monday night too.. welcome Phil and partner (sorry didn't catch your name)- you are welcome to Chiddingstone Hoath... we hope you'll soon settle in. PS: Put the Pickled Punters auction in your diary as soon as the date is announced it was such a fantastic afternoon- surreal in places but can't wait for next year!
