The chicken liver parfait with pickled cherries was a gorgeous starter. The lamb cannon and confit breast with olives were lush. The strawberries, cream and meringues were delicious. The service was frustrating. When we arrived, they couldn't find the reservation by my name. After I provided the confirmation number, they eventually found it. We were asked to wait in the lounge or on the deck, as our table was being prepared. 30 minutes later, we still hadn't been seated or updated, so I had to talk with three different people before someone could sort out a table for us. The server who took our order got it mixed up with the table next to us, food and drinks were really slow in general and we ended up having to modify our cab pick up time (and cab service in Tenterden isn't abundant). The staff were friendly enough, but they were either having an off day or they need better management/organisation. There were lots of staff members who all seemed to share coverage of our table, so it was disjointed service. But, if you're not bothered by slow service, etc., it's worth going purely for the food. Plus, it's part of a lovely afternoon at the winery, which is fabulous.

No rowdy people shouting at TV screens and no pub drunks swearing at all and sundry. They have a great selection of beers all served by happy staff who seem to enjoy their jobs. Food wise, its not gastro pub quality but who cares? Its really good wholesome pub food and doesn't cost an arm and a leg. There's a really nice outdoors area to sit when the weathers good but get there early as it does get popular.

The outside patio has been recently renovated and they have put in a barbeque for their new Grill Menu! This menu is 'To Die For'! Soooooo yummy! I miss my barbeque back in the States when I'm over here, so to find a place that new how to grill their food to perfection was a Godsend! The outside bar is fantastic with lots of Yummy drinks to choose from and has a lounging area with really comfy couches where you can just kick back and chill from a day of shopping or just to have a drink and relax! Whatever your poison you JUST HAVE to try this place! I am giving this place a thumbs up and will be recommending it to my friends and family!

I used to visit here regularly with my nan and my sister, and I must say, the first visit was…read moreimpeccable. We had a polite waitress and the food was good. Upon second arrival, we tried to sit down to be arrogantly stopped by one of the waitresses who didn't speak much English, saying we couldn't sit where we wanted and had to sit in a specific place. We were okay with this. We were then told we wouldn't be allowed to order cakes or drinks, as they refused to give us the menu, eventually, they gave it to us. We had our orders ready to say, and we waited at least 20 minutes for the waitress to come over (this had to be prompted by my Nan calling them over) An old couple sat next to us, ordered a coffee but when this took over 1/2 hour to come, they walked out. We waited a further 30 minutes for our food to come, in which time, the same waitress kept looking at us strangely. To note, another family came in and ordered a huge meal, and they were served before us, even though we were in there first! The restaurant was not very busy at the time, so we weren't really sure why we weren't having any service. In the news, The Boathouse said it wouldn't be serving cakes any more, and we were refused a menu before this happened. We hadn't been rude, arrogant or obnoxious, so we really dont know why the menu was refused. I would visit here again, as I believe the service has improved, but this was a bad experience.

We went on a Friday night, and the menu is succinct but nicely put together. All starters are £5 and mains £12, except for the steak which has a supplement charge. For a while we were the only customers there (its a new place and we were early), and the service was attentive but not cloying. We were told that a few things on the menu were not available; always a plus to be told before you order them. The food was really very good, I had a creamy mushroom and bacon concoction on brioche, which was very well balanced and light. As a main, I had the plaice, which came with beans and a beurre blanc. The fish was possibly overcooked by about ten seconds, but this is really the only complaint I could make. The two other people I ate with had the pork belly and the steak, both seemed very happy. All the dishes were generously, but not unpleasantly, sized; and presented very delicately. The food was good and very reasonably priced. Nothing was mindblowing or wildly inventive, but it was very good food in a pleasant atmosphere, and nobody asked you to take out a loan to go there. I would definitely go again.
