Easily one of my favourite unfussy but oh so lovely pubs, pity it is so far from where I live. Still it was worth the 8km walk from Tonbridge. Simon and his wife seem to know all the locals and are warm and welcoming. Plenty of ales on tap, a few ciders too ALL straight from the barrels behind the bar (gravity fed). When it comes to the food, those smells from the kitchen are authentic and perhaps the most wondrous gravy in the world, I kid you not, if I could I'd order a bowl of the stuff with a chunk of bread.
Lovely family run, cosy ‘proper’ pub. Good selection of bitters, lagers, wine and everything in between. Lindsay and Simon have done a fantastic job bringing the pub back from the dead and turning it into a roaring success. Photo is a sample of the menu in February.
We did not eat on this occasion but were delighted with the friendly staff, drinks served how we like them, and happy atmosphere. Our friends were very pleased with their food. Nice location and plenty of room to park your car.
Took my family out for a country drive outing, and we came across the country pub called the Dovecote, so we called in and had a lovely home cooked lunch which we all enjoyed and will go again. Karl.

This pub is a great country pub, simple pub food, great choice of ales from the barrel and now new lagers on tap. Great outdoor space, kids can run around on the grass and not bother other people
Fantastic Sunday roast, excellent friendly local service and couldn’t do more to accommodate us. Recommend the snug for a family meal. Staff were brilliant
When there for a birthday party. Didnt have any food but the czech larger was great. Linsey and Simon are great people x
A traditional pub. A wonderful beer festival from really local breweries. Well done. We didn't eat but menu looks good.
