Having visited some of the other pubs in the Elite Group (including The Vineyard, a great Sunday lunch), I thought it was only right to book The Great House in Hawkhurst – and I was glad I did! The food was delicious, the service excellent and a great venue too. Definitely one worth travelling to visit – suitable for families and couples alike!

We were visiting my Dad for Father’s Day and decided to try the Sunday lunch at The Rose and Crown in Pluckley, Kent (near Ashford). I am very glad we did! The food was delicious, the beef cooked to my (requested) liking, super roast potatoes and gravy. The outdoor space meant our child could run outside and burn off some energy. A Top Rated Sunday lunch.

We visited The Moody Mare in Mereworth near West Malling, Kent. Really good that they were able to serve a mixed roast – it came with beef, pork and chicken. The cauliflower and broccoli cheese was quite good, but the slow service let the experience down. If you are in the area, then perhaps give it a go if you have spare time – suitable for families as well as couples.
Read More...The Winning Hand, Theale
I was looking for a Sunday lunch in Theale, near Reading, and found The Winning Hand. As it was a country pub, the outside had character. The standard of food presentation was high, each course looked inviting. The speed of service near the end of the meal did tarnish the experience a bit, but only because we were in a hurry to get back.
Overall, a recommended Sunday lunch at The Winning Hand and we would visit again.
Read More...Theydon Oak, Epping
I was looking for an area we hadn’t visited before to review, and decided on Epping, Essex. The Theydon Oak came up in my search – it was an ok lunch, the Sunday roast lacked flavour, but the desserts were great. What really made the lunch was the outside kids play area, it was certainly very special. Overall, 3 out of 5, suitable for family lunches.
