Harden's survey result
Summary
“Straightforward and generous Sunday lunch in a very nice village pub” is a regular occasion for many fans of this “thoroughly enjoyable” local pub in the Kent countryside, which numerous reports attest is particularly “good for families and family occasions”. Its “quality food in a lovely environment” also wins praise, though, from a much wider audience too.
Summary
In a “pretty village setting” (“what’s not to like about sitting under a pergola in the Kent countryside?”), seasoned restaurateurs the Tanner brothers run this much-garlanded gastroboozer. The food choices are “simply cooked” but “not mundane like you could do yourself” (indeed, “to call this pub food would be truly a disservice”).
Summary
“Imaginative cooking, blending tastes and textures very well indeed”, makes for “elevated pub food” at Chris & James Tanners’ smart and “enjoyable” gastroboozer. It is delivered with “cheerful service” and at “decent prices”. Top Tip – “fantastic Sunday lunch”.
Summary
“Excellent food in congenial surroundings” and “warm and welcoming” service make a visit to the Tanner Bros’ (Saturday Kitchen etc.) stylish gastroboozer “very enjoyable altogether”.
For 34 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
