The service was a bit slow. We had to wait for our drink and food but the waitress was apologetic and very friendly. I had salmon which was slightly overcooked but very tasty and my son had Thai pork which he enjoyed. The desserts were heaven. it is a lovely pub, in lovely surroundings and they had some quite large parties which may explain the slow service. However I would like to go back and sample more of the dess... View all feedback.
What MsFoodie doesn't like about The Inn On The Pond:
I have been dining at the Inn on the Pond for over four years, but I am disappointed to say that since Shepherd Neame took over, the menu has changed and the food quality has declined. The new menu is very predictable, with only a few specials that are good, but not as creative as those from the original chef. The atmosphere and staff are still lovely, but the restaurant has lost its unique charm and the variety and... View all feedback.
Having been to the Inn on the Pond on several occasions as it is near to our son 's house, we visited once again. However, we were so disappointed. The menu has massively shrunk and then some choices were not available. Apparently the pub has changed hands, which has not improved things at all. To add to our disappointment with the food options, when we had finished our main course and were selecting desserts, we were told that the kitchen had shut! In all the years we 've been eating out, and working in the restaurant business, we had never been told the kitchen had closed half way through our meal! The chef did agree to 'do us a favour this once ' and offered again a reduced selection. I cannot see us ever choosing to revisit the Inn on the Pond for a meal again, which is such a shame as it was our 'go to place '. We can only hope that others leave similar reviews and that things change for the better!
My family and I had a lovely Sunday lunch at this pub last Weekend .The landlord ,was very welcoming and gave us a table with ample access for my wheelchair bound father. The portions were very generous and had a vegan menu for my vegan diet daughters.A good time had by all and reasonably priced too. The only negative was that the outside looked unkept and would have benefited from a session with a strimmer and lawnmower,that said ,we’ll be back .
Should have paid attention to the latest reviews. Poor customer service. I'm very understanding of slow service due to staff issues if I'm provided an explanation in advance as it allows me to still make a choice. Serving lunch an hour after its ordered is poor. Even worse, one dish of the three arrived 15 minutes before so one party was finished with lunch before the others commenced. No apologies forthcoming until we complained. This after one table already demanded a full refund for a late food order with another table making a similar compliant. The situation could have been avoided with better customer attention.
Nice little place. The staff are friendly and the open outside area is a nice place for groups to sit and relax.
Excellent location and the occasional live cricket match in season. Went back today. This is such a wasted opportunity. Freezing dining area. No variety on the menu, no proper snacks. Only one beer on the hand pump. Shame this place was a gem no wonder people stay at home for entertainment.
