The Kentish Hare is situated in a pretty village called Bidborough near Royal Tunbridge Wells. We booked a table for 3, including our toddler. The chicken parfait starter was nice, the Sunday roasts were exceptional, including cauliflower cheese! Our desserts were equally delicious. Overall, a superb venue and somewhere worth travelling to!

We have been meaning to review Sunday lunch at The Swan in West Malling for a while now and we finally had a chance just before Christmas. Parking was difficult, they do not have their own car park, but we managed it. The food was excellent, the service superb and we really enjoyed our time. A Top Rated Award for The Swan in West Malling.
Read More...The Shortlands Tavern, Bromley
We had visited The Shortlands Taverns to watch some rugby previously, when I saw they offered Sunday lunches I made sure we visited the following Sunday. Make sure you reserve a table, there were a lot of disappointed people would hadn’t. A very good place for families, with a menu for children, low salt Sunday lunches and clean baby changing facilities. Also, they are members of Brestfeeding Welcome Scheme, so mothers with young babies should also feel welcome here. Overall, the Sunday lunch was nice and worth a visit, if just to experience the local community pub.
Read More...The Dirty Habit, Hollingbourne
After looking for a Sunday lunch near Maidstone, I settled on The Dirty Habit in Hollingborne, a sister pub of The Vineyard and The Farmhouse. The 11 Century pub certainly had character, and I was pleased with the service initially, The roast potatoes were good, as were the vegetables. My Sticky Toffee Pudding was very sweet (a good thing), and certainly ensured I received the sugar hit I wanted. Unfortunately though, it took over 20 minutes just to receive the bill, so not one to go to if you are in a rush.
