Best Gastro Pubs in Staplehurst

Greeted with a friendly face and the staff were attentive at all times. The food was delicious and great portions

One of the best value Michelin star dining experiences in the South of England, we love it here. We had the festive tasting menu and every dish was a banger once again (although the turbot was slightly over but we didn’t care, we were loving life with their very generous wine pairing pours). The trout, suckling pig and chocolate orange were my highlights this time. We will be back for our third visit very soon.

We booked a 12o/c table so it was quieter with extremely efficient service. The food was amazing!!! I had a small roast which was plenty for me and delicious. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive in the restaurant as well as the bar. Loved the Teepee ambiance and it was a great temperature - not too hot and not chilly, just right. Very cosy and welcoming. We then found a nice space to sit and enjoy a drink between the pub and the Teepee where we sat on sofas by a fire. This is my new ‘go-to’ favourite place for food, service and venue ! Just all round perfect pleasure :)

As usual, a very friendly service and really enjoyed the pies

We had an excellent lunch at the Stilebridge yesterday. We shared the starter of meatballs and the sticky pudding dessert and both were very tasty. Unusually my husband and I both chose the same main, pork sirloin. The pork was very tender and we thoroughly enjoyed our lunch.
