Royal Inn Restaurant - (Near Kent, South East)

Helen M Had high hopes for this restaurant and it didn’t disappoint. The friendliest welcome as soon as we arrived… the couple running it are genuinely lovely and charming. I have no idea how they manage to produce food of this calibre so calmly and quickly AND find time to chat to guests. All from a tiny kitchen. Anyway the food was outstanding, dish after dish. Fresh, healthy, delicious, beautifully plated. Plenty of vegetarian options too - our vegetarian son asked if they had a Michelin star. They probably deserve one! Really nice laid-back and cosy atmosphere too. Probably romantic if you’re that way inclined….If we were locals this would be a regular for sure - it’s hard to believe there are better local restaurants. As it is we hope to be back before too long!

Tony Yendle Fantastic place to eat the decor and food. I had Johns pizza which was well cooked and full of flavour. Definitely recommend.

Samy Heath Decent food and great service. Thank you

Hannah Lambourn Absolutely incredible food! My first time eating here, but my family come regularly, and I can see why. Not shy with the portions, and the most amazing flavours. The best apple tea Ive had outside of Turkey. I would highly recommend to anyone!

Stephanie Elliott My partner already wrote a review many months ago about how we came here on my birthday. We came again on a 5 hour round trip. It was that good. I simply dont have the vocabulary to explain how good this food is. I love Jamaican food but it tends to all taste very similar. Not this stuff though. Its tastes so different to other Jamaican food. I saw its and original recipe . I dont even want to know the recipe because I simply cannot put that amount of love and emotion into a dish if I tried. This not only tastes amazing but it genuinely makes you FEEL something. The food is absolutely blessed and anyone who disagrees has no taste whatsoever. In terms of the pub itself it was quite nice. I usually hate pubs theyre loud sticky and a bit creepy feeling. This place is quite lovely and welcoming though. Theyre werent too many patrons when I recently went but everyone was having a good time and it meant the vibe was great. When I first went, there was a darts club and the guys were pretty loud. Im quite an anxious person but I think the landlady saw me and explained and apologised for the loudness and it set me at ease right away. I really appreciated that.

Joanne Dawkins Excellent Sunday roast 9.5/10. Very rare to get a gluten free Yorkshire pudding option. Beautiful beef cooked to perfection, extra jug of gravy and lovely roast potatoes. Would be 10/10 if the cauliflower cheese had been gluten free (made with corn flour rather than regular flour). Also if there was an option to buy a side dish of additional vegetables ie carrots and peas to share. I love a margarita and asked for it on the rocks which they were happy to do which was great. It’s a lovely venue and the staff were amazing as very attentive, Louisa and LJ especially. We will definitely be back, great to learn it’s also dog friendly so will next time take our dogs.
