I've been to the vineyard in Staplehurst so was happy to stumble across this place by accident. The Balfour lager is really good and my American work colleague loved the flight of English sparkling whites. I'll definitely be back as it was surprisingly well priced given it's location.

I have to say it’s a very good pub here. But I give 2 stars because of one staff here(see picture) being super rude and racist. The rest of the team are very nice and friendly especially for one of the lady, except for this guy (otherwise I will be giving a 1 star).

Went for lunch on a Thursday afternoon between 1pm and 2pm. The atmosphere was nice and quiet, but also had a few people in the pub. I found that i waited a while to be served as looked like there was some staffing issue, most drinks were not available as waiting for a delivery and also issues with the till. This was not expressed to customers directly though, only spoken amongst staff for customers to hear second hand. Once finally served and food was ordered, i was told that drinks would be brought over to the table. I ended up waiting almost 10 minutes for a pint of beer and a glass of wine which was a little bit of a let down to be honest. Food then arrived. It was pipping hot and brought out by a lady server who greeted us with a smile and an apologised for the scrappy service. The chicken burger with chips and coleslaw from the lunch time menu was absolutely delicious 10/10. The flavours of the coleslaw had a mild taste of mustard. The chips were seasoned to perfection with a nice crunch/crisps and the burger itself was really fulfilling. It was also i found to be a reasonable price considering the place where the pub is situated The service was a little bit of a let down, but the food definately made my review overall get a 5 star. I would reccomend this pub for anyone in the area

We recently had the privilege to shoot a wedding reception in this beautiful central London space and its honestly such a great option for a London wedding reception. Location is of course impeccable, but the space itself was absolutely beautiful and the food excellent and varied. Perfect for couples wanting a London wedding!
