We just arrived from a cruise trip, while visiting Dover Castle we were looking for a great stop…read morefor lunch. This place is fantastic, easy walk from Dover Castle and just so happens to be Dovers oldest pub. The menu for lunch is small, feels like it's because they want to do things right. The fish and chips- highly recommend. However unless you are starving I recommend you split it with a friend. When we arrived we were immediately greeted, service was excellent. For families like us, they do have high chairs. They will take your order if you sit inside. There's also an outdoor garden however you need to come to the counter to order. Same with drinks. Each room has a lot of history. Take one look around and there's a lot going on. Apparently this location used to be a part of monastery and has evolved over the years now to a great pub. Each dish we enjoyed, the vegetarian linguine was fresh, chips were delicious and the fish was wonderful. If you're cruising in and need a place for a good meal not too far from the port or to Dover Castle- I recommend you swing on in. Highly casual so you can come as is or for special occasion.

A perfect place to rest and recount our adventures for the day. There were quite a few diners in, and the space seemed a lot larger once inside, with a bar and several rooms to accommodate small and large parties. We were seated near a party of 10! Service was friendly and leisurely, which we welcomed. Only one staff was taking and distributing orders and he advised of the delay in service. The food was delicious and had we more time in town, would likely have dined in again.

We ordered the chips, Camembert cheese potatoes, prawns, hummus, and asparagus. All were cooked perfectly! The potatoes were oven baked to golden and crispy with large chunks of cheese in a cast iron bowl. The asparagus was served in a cream sauce cooked delicately and perfectly done. The cucumber refresher is amazing as was the rainbow sour. This is a definite stop if traveling outside of London. Just a short train ride!

Carry out ("take away" when in England) only fish and chips restaurant. They do have about four…read moretiny tables, with half being outside, that you can eat at, but it's basically a to-go place. Service was okay. Not much available parking nearby, so plan to walk a bit when you find a street space nearby. Fish was good, but a little greasy and they left the dark skin on, which is not appetizing. The chips were average thick cut fries. Nothing special about the chips. Expect to pay about $10 for one fish fillet and chips. If you want ketchup or tartar sauce they charge $0.25 per squeeze packet. While that would be crazy in the U.S., it appears to be somewhat common in the U.K.

His was a side dish so he was surprised at the good portion size, which included bread. He liked it very much but, since I kept raving to him about the delicious, piping hot veggie pie, he wanted to go back and try one. The second night he got the chicken and broccoli pie and I had the vegetable soup and a mixed salad. Again, everything was delicious, the hot food was nice and hot and cooked just right. In addition to the food, the restaurant has a lot of character and charm, you're eating in a historic building, and our server - Hina - was amazing. If we were staying longer we'd return again and again!

Inside the 15th or 16th century decor continues with amusing whimsical antiques and artworks. Service is friendly all around. Great savory meat pies, but maybe skip dessert and the beers... £19/$26 Lamb & Rosemary Weaver Pie...succulent tender chunks of Lamb in lovely gravy with vegetables, wrapped in warm a buttery pie crust...lovely! £19/$26 Steak & Kidney Weaver Pie...I took a risk! Tasty meaty juicy hunks of British beef...mixed in with the bitter, strong gamey, and pungent pieces of kidney...a very distinct taste indeed, not for everyone, but I found it good enough...though next time I might try something else. The chips are thick and crispy, brilliant! £8/$11 Apple Blackberry Crumble...disappointing! There didn't seem to be any chunks of fruit, just a mix of syrup and crumbles. It was very liquidity. Custard was nice though. £8/$11 Pint of Guinness...much more expensive than the average pint price.
