Best Gastro Pubs in Etchinghill

Staff were very friendly and lovely. The food took a very very long time to arrive - there were only a few tables in the restaurant as a Monday morning. We had no starters just main and dessert and we were there from 1.30-4.30. We were happy to chat but strange how long it took. Food was very good and we enjoyed it. Staff kindly did a birthday Happy Birthday plate for our friend. Of course as with all restaurants now it felt expensive. 3 people and with voluntary tip was £180 (this included one glass of wine and 5 pints) With these kind of prices expectations are high. It was good but not exceptional as price would suggest.

We finally tried the avocado dish with vegan feta and it was delicious.

Excellent food and service, highly recommend. However a service charge discrepancy between menu- which stated 10% would be levied on tables if 6 or more (we were a table of 6)- and bill which stated 12.5%, caused some confusion. This was quickly resolved by staff, but service charges on menu and bill need to be updated to agree the same rate. This issue did not spoil the evening which was great. For fans of Jeremy Clarkson they serve his ale and cider, but there are plenty of alternatives for those who feel the opposite…Their Argentinian Merlot at the lower cost end of their wine list is superb. Food, ambience and service was spot on. We would certainly go again.

Superb food and service, my wife’s need for gluten free food was well explained and well catered for

Great food and a friendly welcome - plus a superb bottle of wine. We were unlucky to arrive at the same time as a table of 12 so the service was understandably a little slow but otherwise, everything was great. Would not hesitate to recommend.
