We finally completed the set (of Elite Pubs Group venues). The Poacher and Partridge in Tudeley, near Tonbridge, was excellent. We really enjoyed our Sunday lunch, the service was very friendly and efficient, the food was delicious and JW was kept entertained with the kids pack. A Top Rated venue!

This certainly was a wildcard – a rundown hotel, probably damaged by fire. It seemed like they were going through renovations, but taking their time with it! The food was good, lots of curly kale and nice roast beef – but some of our party found it unpleasant eating in room with extensive fire damage!
Read More...The Snail, Sevenoaks
A friend highly recommended The Snail in Sevenoaks, so I booked up for a lunch when the opportunity arose. Ample parking meant a stress free arrival, which continued throughout the meal. We ate in the restaurant, the staff were welcoming and helpful with our 20 month old, JW. In fact, one of the best family lunches we have had on this site. The food was superb, with extremely tender meat and an excellent Yorkshire pudding.
Overall, a Top Rated Sunday lunch for The Snail in Sevenoaks.

When looking for a place to meet friends, I found out about the Sunday lunch at The Anchor in Ripley, Woking. A good sized car park helped with arriving in a happy frame of mind. The service here was excellent, we were greeted at the door and then looked after well during the meal. The food itself was excellent – contemporary twists on a traditional meal. We felt very welcome and certainly a Top Rated Sunday lunch!
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.
