Great Cafe which i visit in my free periods at school, the size and quality of the meals are amazing especially considering the great prices they give. The food doesn't take too long to come and they are always friendly.Great Cafe which i visit in my free periods at school, the size and quality of the meals are amazing especially considering the great prices they give.

These guy have been in business for years and is family run (only the family knows the secret recipes). A tiny shop with a huge array of pies to choose from and I always eat too many!

I wish I could visit here more often but with an awkward location and normally closing around 2pm (though this may have changed since my last visit)the shop is not very convenient.

Anyone for a classic meat and bean pasty? These guy have been in business for years and is family run (only the family knows the secret recipes). A tiny shop with a huge array of pies to choose from and I always eat too many!

This establishment has been running for more then 25 years, it is the first one in the Swale area!

The manager named, " Shabul" can tell you what to try, and he will know 100% you will like it! All you tell him is what you like and dont like and he can make a dish up! Its amazing how i see his customers asking him, " What do i like Shabul, u give me a dish" thats how trustworthy this guy is!
He even remembers what i have, and knows wot i dont!!!

Service is great! and you get a free special drink at end of meal!

They have dishes here that you have never tried before, and Shabul knows that his food is the best, ask any customers sitting next to you while you eat and ask them how long they been coming in!

Poor service. Food was crap, we went there for a birthday, i wanted to make a surprise for my gf birthday, quietly i mouthed " CAKE" to bring out the cake to the boss, he goes loudly " CAKE?!" and ruined it.

Was a total rip of, high price, low quantity!

Really lovely traditional pub. fantastic menu and superb food. Restaurant quality at pub prices. Highly recommended. Plus they do the same menu for kids, just half the portion for half the price. Much better than the usual "everything with chips". You do have to wait for the food for a short while, but it is cooked from scratch so is well worth the wait.Really lovely traditional pub. fantastic menu and superb food.

Tudor Rose - Not bad! by pgt38

The Tudor Rose is situated just outside Sittingbourne, just of the main roundabout. You need to know that it is there, as it is not a place that you would really pass and notice due to its location.

The Rose offers a good sized car park and is a traditional English pub with the back/conservatory used as its restaurant.

The dÃ©cor is looking a little tired but despite this everything is clean and tidy.

The menu is what I would call â¬Ütraditional pub grubâ¬", freshly prepared and â¬Ühome madeâ¬" with a range of specialsâ¬¦..between us we elected for traditional fish & chips, a (huge) beef pie, mussels, fish and peppered pork. After an enjoyable meal we were all feeling rather satisfied and fullâ¬¦.but who can resist pudding such as spotted dick and custard? Especially on Christmas Eve.

Overall the service, food and prices were all good and I would recommend the pub/restaurant to anyone in the area especially if you need to cater for a range of tastes.

Rating: 5.00Its my locall pub. the staff arereallyy friendly, the service for food is very quick and vey nice. they have a range of guest ales on, and theres normally always a sheperd neame ale there.
it tends to get overly bussy in there on a friday and saturday night so i tend not to go in then, and if a student event is on, such as results day in august, i would avoid it then as students flock there to celebrate.Its my locall pub. the staff arereallyy friendly, the service for food is very quick and vey nice. they have a range of guest ales on, and theres normally always a sheperd neame ale there.

The Bobbing Apple is part of the Brewers Farye Pub Chain. THerefore the menu is the standard Brewers Fayre menu and is a similar set up to the other branches nationwide.

The Bobbing Apple has a pub garden for smokers, a bar area and sofas and a restaurant. There is also a soft play area for children whilst adults eat their meals.

the food is of good quality, and reasonably priced. There are often offers avaliable for 2 for 1 meals.

You have to order your meal at the till area and it is brought to your table.

The service is quick and efficient and the food is of a good standard.

The Sun Inn is the village pub of Bredgar.

It is the perfect year round pub, with an outdoor play area for children in the summer and frequent BBQ's and a large pub garden. In the winter the place has a large real wood burning fire which is very atmospheric and warm.

It is welcoming of children. The food is of good quality and there is an onsite restaurant.

The barstaff are friendly and welcoming to visitors and locals.

There is frequent live music which varies from country, jazz and folk to indie and pop.

This place is very different to anything else in the area and a mix of the art from the gallery across the courtyard and the chintzy Laura Ashley-esq designs on the tablecloths means it has a bit of an identity crisis.

Fortunately the staff are always very attentive and the food is good quality. Most items are made on site or provided by local suppliers and the range is usually very good.

This would appeal to the traditionalists as you get rolls before your main meal with butter curls, fresh veg with your meals and lovely condiments. There are different desserts bought in fresh each day and are displayed in a cold cabinet by the till.

I would highly recommend the jacket potatoes which are baked in a special oven and the quiches which change daily. Give the place a try and you might be surprised!

Rating: 1.00One of the worst pubs I've ever been in, and I've been in many.

Once you get your beer, if you can avoid the neanderthals at the bar, either stand in the middle of the bar looking a twat, or take a seat. BUT BEWARE!! Mind the children running around throwing darts randomly.

Never mind, relax and play pool. Oh dear. its shoved so much in the corner, you cant cue up anyway!!

I wish I could give it zero stars but I'm forced to give a generous one.One of the worst pubs I've ever been in, and I've been in many.
