It appears that the pub has recently changed ownership and has already gone through multiple chefs and staff changes. The food options were limited to sausage rolls, soup, and crisps – definitely not what we were expecting. It seems like the pub is now coasting on its former five-star reputation, as the fine dining experience is no longer available. The new owners are clearly struggling and the place could use a good cleaning. Despite being advertised as "Kent's best kept secret" on their website, I believe it would be best to keep this place under wraps until they can improve their offerings and avoid disappointing customers.
This pub is a disaster zone! The constant launching of food/events/pop ups only for them to be changed and cancelled at the last minute. We’ve never experienced anything like this, the people must be in so inexperienced and out of their depth. Opening times don’t align, their social media is one apology after another … wow. Shepherd and Neame must be well proud! Not. Pub has such potential, was far better under Donna and John before her …
My friends and I went to this pub/restaurant for lunch on Wednesday after checking the website to confirm it was open and serving food. The website stated that they were open from 12pm to 10pm. However, when we arrived, the place was closed. We weren't the only ones who made this mistake - two others arrived at the same time and were equally disappointed. After trying all the doors, we noticed a handwritten sign in the window with completely different opening hours. It turns out the pub wouldn't open until 5pm. We were understandably disappointed as we had traveled to Crundale specifically to visit this pub.
It was a delightful surprise to come across this charming hidden gem in the stunning countryside of Kent. Originally planning to just grab a drink, my friend and I were captivated by the enchanting outdoor garden featuring a picturesque tree swing and tables placed around a lovely lawn. We ended up spending our entire Saturday evening there, truly enjoying the peaceful atmosphere. The venue would be a perfect choice for a wedding reception with its beauty. The food was exceptional, especially for a vegetarian like myself. The variety of options was impressive, with highlights including a delicious zucchini salad, a classic caprese, and my personal favorite, the aubergine pasta all Norma. Finding such a wonderful pub at the end of a scenic country walk was a true delight. I am eagerly looking forward to my next visit.
Delicious proper Sicilian food; Proper village pub; Gorgeous Kent countryside; wonderfully friendly bar staff and landlord. Thanks so much all.
