Best Restaurants for Groups in Lympne

We visited The Five Bells 2 nights in a row on our short holiday as 2 adults and 2 children. The food was outstanding on both occasions but unfortunately the service a bit slow. Our second visit was particularly slow and when the food eventually arrived my daughter’s meal was completely wrong so they took it back and took almost half an hour to return with the correct meal. The staff did recognise this and deducted it from our bill. The pub itself is gorgeous and full of character and I wouldn’t let the service put us off going again as the food was simply divine.

Great place to eat and food fantastic as always, we will be back soon

The decoration and atmosphere were excellent. All staff were smart clean and attentive at all times. They left the right amount of time between courses to enquire if there was anything else we required. The food was beautifully cooked and hot. Delicious choices and just the right size portions... Excellent lunchtime meal -Thank you all.

Great food, great atmosphere, great and attentive servers. However, in the spirit of attentiveness, the jacketed servers seemed like she was ticking a box. We had hardly started eating and she was already asking us how our food was? So maybe a little bit more time betwee bringing food to the table and asking how the meal is.

We went to Gardenia for dinner as part of a package hotel deal and it was excellent value. The staff were very warm, friendly and informative and we had a lovely meal in a lovely setting.
