Queens Inn Reviews

Really wonderful historic pub. From its food and drink to its atmosphere and service, the place oozes great taste. Its design and intergration of old with new is astounding. The dark ancient wood and beams fit perfectly with the more recently updates modern cream colours, making the place feel cosy and trendy. Their new section, which prepares mainly pizzas and barbeques foods, only adds to their already exquisite menu which satisfies any customer with any flavour palate. The prices are reasonable and offer good value for money.

Lovely pub renovated to very high standard. The staff were extremely helpful and food was delicious. Will gladly return!

Amazing food, amazing scene and amazing service. Very rarely do I get to say this, this place is a truly beautiful Inn

Lovely restore very old traditional British inn. it is however expensive

Food and drinks overpriced and not a wide selection of drinks for children

Nice cosy atmosphere. Nice friendly staff and good drinks

Very nice pub, excellent food and drink and really nice staff who turn a good pub into a great one.

Food was good and atmosphere was great. We were seated in the bar area instead of new restaurant area as we were a big group but the atmosphere was still good. Chicken burger and vegetarian anti pasting we're good, draught cider and wine good also.

Great food, my rib eye beef was very good and my daughter very much enjoyed her chicken burger.

Staff were very welcoming . Decor was good and the food was delicious. We had a really good evening . Thank u

Nice country inn with a good bar and restaurant. Very friendly, plenty of parking and a nice garden.

We have had a lovely evening in the Queens Inn. The staff food and atmosphere were excellent

Once again superb roast dinner just a tad over priced .

We recently stayed in the luxury double room with a roll top bath. The room was beautiful, clean and the impressive emperor bed was very comfortable! The only reason I ve knocked off one star is due to the lack of choice on the menu on a Sunday evening, I hadn t seen anything on the website notifying that one of the two restaurants would be closed and that the menu is restricted on Sundays or else we may have chosen to eat elsewhere... although the meal we had was very tasty so no complaints on the actual food.

Only popped in for a quick ice cold cola but it looks really lovely inside and is very clean.

Looks nice - think staff need more training. Asked for a Gin & Tonic - I got a Gin & Tonic in a glass - no ice and lemon - basic stuff! Had a burger that arrived as a burger in a bun, with winterslaw, onion ring and chips, yummy but no lettuce etc with burger. Venison meatballs great but a spoonful of mashed potato smeared across the plate and that was it... With a group of friends and men asked first what they wanted, no problem with this but usually start with the girls... Decor nice but not sure that we would go back again.

Great hotel and restaurant, I stayed a night before my wedding and had an excellent dinner and breakfast.
The hotel room was extremely spacious (Room No.4) and looking forward to returning in the future.

Lovely food, nice surroundings & atmosphere. Friendly staff....

Kind attentive staff. Made our Christmas celebrations this year really memorable!

Was taken their as a surprise. Couldn't fault it. Staff are very friendly, service is very good. Was not kept waiting at any time. Food was excellent. Hot and very tasty, presented well. Would reccommend it to all..

This is just a beautiful friendly place to go have a drink or even better have food. The staff are super friendly and would recommend this to anyone go and have a super time.

This is one of our favourite pubs! We've been for breakfast, lunch and dinner in the past - each experience always being exceptional with a cosy and warm atmosphere. Lovely comfortable interior, friendly staff and delicious locally produced ingredients. Highly recommend.

My wife and I had lunch: both enjoyed our choices: 1) Plaice fillets with crab and (2) roast beef and blue cheese sandwich. Disappointing coffee: rather bitter with separated milk fat floating. Staff were polite and efficient, but one seemed to be unable to smile. Overall a pleasant lunch, and we will return again.

Very interesting old hotel and pub.We may stay at a later date. A warm welcome.

We had an excellent stay in this lovely inn. Fresh milk upon arrival, soft bed with lots of pillows, a rain shower... and heartwarming hospitality.

We had dinner here recently as its one of our locals. The service was awful and we stood at the bar for almost 10 minutes before anyone actually acknowledged us. I was about to leave but my girlfriend wanted to stay. I think we got food over an hour later and it wasn't worth the wait. Chips which were stone cold in the middle, Peppers which looked like they were plated up when Tony Blair was Prime Minister and our waitress who looked like she had been on a 3 day bender didn't say a word to us. When I asked for mustard she just gave me a look and needless to say, did not return with mustard. Worst meal I've had in years.

Cozy and comfortable Inn. Awesome and squeaky clean rooms. Fantastic linens, top amenities, spot on mattress with a vintage feeling. Dinner was very tasteful - had roasted beef - which raised the expectations for the breakfast included in our stay. Breakfast was, of course, marvelous as well. Worth noting that they left a pair of brownies in our bedroom - and was absolutely delicious. This was by far the best experience we had in a British accomodation - highly recommend.

Very nice Sunday lunch! If you like a slightly upper class roast cooked as it should be then you won't go wrong here. Obviously busy so book to avoid disappointment.

Relaxed atmosphere, comfortable beds, good bar, quiet rural location. Lovely

Lovely old coaching Inn in a modern style, big bar area and plenty of separate eating rooms. Beer choice excellent and menu nicely succinct with lovely wines too. Recommend the lamb which was simply gorgeous. Will definitely go back.

Staff were super friendly and polite. Food was really good. Very happy with our last minute decision to stop and eat there.

Very nice hotel, in an old building, food is good and the People very nice

Excellent evening meal. Superb food and wonderful service. Thanks

Amazing food and great service!! Definitely recommend (the burgers, sweet potato fries and tuna steak were to die for!).

Cold, disappointing and staff appeared to concentrate on regulars..some tasted reheated and had a 40minute wait. Those who cane in after recieved theirs 1st.Told waitress and she just smiled

We booked 6 rooms accommodating wedding guests and the Bride and Groom. The restaurant was re-organised on the preceding evening to enable those staying at the hotel and the other wedding guests to enjoy an excellent evening meal together. The morning after the wedding the hotel provided a great freshly cooked buffet breakfast for our wedding guests staying at the hotel or elsewhere. The food and service was great. Lydia and the team did everything they could to make everyone welcome and enable us to enjoy a great wedding. Thank you!

Fabulous! Shame our room was not ready when we arrived. But the food, room (when we finally got it) & hospitality made up for this minor starting blip. Highly recommend!

Outstanding quality sandwiches and good selection of beer with friendly staff.

Lovely pub. Beautifully decked out. Nice food. Friendly young staff.

Very nice friendly pub. Definitely elegant and most likely for the mid to upper class kind of people. But very nice - meaning no rowdy people turn up like some other pubs near by. Very cosy environment and extremely warm in a rainy day. Good selection of beers and ales and seems like a nice place for dinner. Aesthetically very pleasing and clean.

Currently our favourite pub. Always warm and cosy with welcoming staff.

Relaxing environment, welcoming staff, unique decor, no background music in the bar but if you enjoy the chatter and clatter of others indulging in the restaurant area socialising whilst sipping a relaxing beverage then it is a good place to unwind. Reviewed on a Sunday evening BTW.

This is an historical building transformed into a hotel. Nice rooms, nice food, nice beers, very cozy and charming, and a stone throw from some beautiful countriside. A great place to spend some relaxing days, really

A very good selection of food on the menu and service was friendly.

Lovely pub to go for an afternoon or evening drink food is very nice indeed. It also doubles up to be a B&B not stayed in a B&B room there yet but I can imagine it would be very nice

Great furniture in here, not your standard drinks though and pretty expensive.

Really great food and friendly service. The Queen s Inn is a real gem of a find.

Service polite and efficient. The venue is pretty and comfortable. Food not as good as previously... The roast meal had undercooked cauliflower and the lamb was very rare. The pork was disappointing as it was extremely fatty with no crisped crackling. Better cutlery required as knife was not very effective for cutting meat. Suspect there's been a change of chef.

Beautiful pub. Lovely food and drink and brilliant service!

A very nicely put up place, the service was average but the decoration was incredible! The staff were very approachable and friendly. Great family or romantic dining place.

Enjoyable lunch but would like to see a more varied menu. No complaints with what we had.

True to their mantra, we ate , drank & slept.
Didn't need to venture out at all after we checked in.

5 Star all the way.

Very clean, good looking establishment. Loads of seating and the food was great.

Fabulous food
Reasonably priced
Good choice

Atmosphere was great and service was brilliant. The food, well, my partner said that's the best ribs he's ever had and the monk fish was delicious and the best creme brule I'd ever had. Would definitely recommend a visit

Waited to long to be served, people came in after us but was served first, only when they see me looking at my watch did they come over , no apologies, just won't be long, Roast dinner, unedable, left 3/4. Never ever to return. So disappointed. And paid.

Very nice pub food very good staff are so nice as well when ever I go through Hawkhurst I will always pay a visit to this pub

The queens Inn is a fabulous pub. High class but welcoming and not wver pompous. Super clean and wonderful staff.

Pretty decent meal. Staff could have been a bit more attentive if I'm being fussy, but would certainly go back.

We stayed for a couple of nights over Easter and found the room (room 1) to be noisy and extremely hot which didn't make for a good nights sleep- we ended up having all of the windows open over night in March! Later we found out that the room was over the tumble dryers and kitchen in/out door which explained the heat and noise. Staff were friendly enough but we found breakfast to be slightly limited in terms of items on offer and time breakfast was available (9-10).
Whether it was just unfortunate timing but on one night we had to park our car on the road as parking was limited. Having paid to stay I would of expected some reserved parking for guests and I didn't particularly like leaving my car in unfamiliar surroundings on the street.

Good food. Friendly atmosphere. Two restaurants including a great grill / pizza restaurant.

Really great food and cheery staff. Warm and friendly

Absolutely perfect service and food,highly recommend!!

Great selection of drinks, food is fantastic, staff are friendly and the environment is also very nice

Lovely bright bar and friendly staff. Only issue was in deciding between a starter or main course for a lunch time snack. Turned out they are not generous! Great food but that was not enough for a main course!

A very nice place to stay, a warm welcome, good selection of beers, wines and Gin. The food was delicious. Overnight stay, the room was very comfortable. Will definitely book again.

Charcoal Kitchen was very good, great service and great tasting food. Full restaurant menu also very good if you're eating in the bar or restaurant.
