Best English Restaurants in Hawkhurst

We have been to The Poet a few times now and on every occasion we have enjoyed it immensely. Tom and the team take great care to ensure that all our food requirements are met and they go above and beyond with attention to detail. The atmosphere is always convivial and the food is outstanding. There's a very nice wine list too.

We were sitting in the new dining room area which gave the 5 of us plenty of space, and allowed the dog to keep a watch out! Great atmosphere and good accoustics of locals, diners and general pub ‘coming and goings’. The stilton soup was phenomenal and 3 of the group chose the orange posset which has raised this quirky desert to new levels.

Perfect place to have Christmas dinner! The food was delicious, hot and plentiful. Staff were very attentive and we even got to speak to to the owner when she arrived! Very pleasant atmosphere, thank you all so much.

An amazing experience! The food was gorgeous and the decor was insane! What a fabulous way to begin the festive celebrations. The Sugar Plum Fairy would have approved! Best food was the Stilton and Cranberry muffin followed by the Raspberry Ripple mousse. No way we were going to have room for it all but the carry home box was exquisite in itself. Thank you for a truly unforgettable afternoon. We will be back for the Regency in January!

Would highly recommend Frankies. Been to eat there a few times now and the food is very enjoyable and the setting is very welcome and the staff very helpful.
