Classic English tearoom with prompt and friendly service, even on a busy Saturday when they were heaving with tourists (like us) and soon-to-be uni graduates. Sandwiches were excellent though my scone was a little burnt. Still, hard not to be impressed when they're turning out good food at this pace with the number of people coming through the door. Kudos.

Enjoyed a lovely 2-night stay here while exploring the local area. Hot tip: don't miss the White Horse pub, just a few minutes (or even a short walk) away for superb house-made pizza and an immense beer selection. Rooms here (we stayed in "The Bakery") are cozy and romantic and heavy on character. Hosts are onsite and happy to answer questions and make recommendations. Highly recommended.

Charming little pub just a few minutes off the A21. We googled options while driving from London to the South Coast, chose this place and were really glad we did. Hosts were charming and were happy to accommodate us tourists for dinner early on a Saturday evening, even without a reservation. Steak and ale pie was divine. Will definitely come back.

Fantastic place, amazing selection, and friendly staff who are more than happy to make suggestions and chat spirits, even with a tourist. Was recommended a terrific aperitivo that I hadn't seen anywhere else. Definitely stopping back in the next time we're in London.

Price of a meal can add up quickly here but it's hard not to add more to the order when the food is this good. Great views of the harbor (we sat on the roof but the inside dining room looked charming also.) Only minor downside is service - we ordered wine but it didn't arrive until half our food had disappeared.
