I’m slightly baffled by the reviews of this place based on my trip. First the good, it has a great selection of drinks - excellent local beers and a ‘proper’ cocktail menu. The house red (Tempranillo) I had was also very good. I also have to say the general vibe of the place is pretty cool. However, the food is VERY average and yet priced at mid-high end restaurant level. We had a ‘sizzling prawn and chorizo’ starter in a Heinz tomato soup-like, sickly sweet sauce and some insipid ‘chilli squid’ that looked like it hadn’t been fried on both sides. We then had some kind of fish platter that was brought on the most ridiculous and unusable plate I’ve ever seen, although the fish was ok (though v standard smoked salmon, mackerel pate etc). I had an overcooked lamb chop (£23!) on a bed of supermarket couscous and an absurdly bland tzatziki (guys - yogurt, mint and cucumber really isn’t that hard to make taste fresh and lively). We then had ice cream which tasted freezer burnt or stale. To be fair, if we’d been paying decent pub prices (£16-18 mains) I might have let this all go - but pushing some way over the £20 mark for mains means it needs to be much better. Definitely recommend for a pint or a cocktail, but...
Read moreGreat quirky pub This is a favourite haunt of ours just out of the main town on Military road on right as you go over the bridge. Theres no actual bar and the layout is quirky there's a large beer garden and friendly staff. The food is local sourced and caters for all . When available recommend the soft shelled crabs. For real ale drinkers local beers and good selection of gins and wines. The French rose being a favourite of ours. The portions are big the veal which I had with pak choi was lovely,the pork chop what my partner had was massive.parking is on the street outside. Some people may think its pricey, but you get what you pay for. A quirky little pub for a drink and meal. Well worth a visit.
A warm welcome from Marta, Zoe and staff. It's the Rye Bay Scallop Festival and Globe In The Marsh are participating, on their menu are a choice of 5 starters. I went for Garlic and lemon Scallops, my wife went for Scallops on Pea puree and Bacon. I had Minted Romney Marsh Lamb Pie, my wife had vegetarian pizza thin and crispy base. Washed down with a bottle of Prosseco and sparkling mineral water. Great service , good portion size and a menu to suit everyone. We'll...
