"What a disappointing meal. We were so excited to try your Sunday Roast which we had booked for over 1 month, as we have heard so many great reviews via word of mouth from friend's, and online/social media. Sadly, we couldn't have been more disappointed. We arrived and were taken straight to our table. Lovely waitress, took our order prompt and got our drinks quickly. Even a treat for our dog. As our order was taken (2 roast dinners and a side of mac and cheese), a group of around 10 woman came in and sat beside us. We had noticed this table set out on arrival, there were Christmas crackers etc out so clearly in for the festive meal meal. We weren't advised/warned that a large party were due to arrive. What we walked into was a lovely, quiet corner of the room which was really relaxed, quickly turned into a rather loud room over all when this party arrived, we had to shout over to one another to have a discussion. We were disappinted that we weren't warned that this party would be in at the same time as us, as it quickly got so loud that it was pointless us even having a discussion as we couldnt hear one another. We waited 40minutes before asking the waitress where our food was, as the larger parter had their food delivered to them. We were told it was just coming out. I asked again another 15minutes later where our food was as we still hadn't received it. Our food arrived shortly after, cold. It was clear that both plates had been sitting out for a while and not freshly plated. The roast potatoes were cold and dry. The meat was dry and cold. The bread sauce had a layer of skin over it and cold. We sent these plates back for them to only return 2 minutes later. The same plates reappeared. The plates themselves were warm, but the food, cold/look warm. At this point we asked for the bill and to leave. So disappointing as we had high hopes and expectations. We were looking forward to this meal for weeks; we were sad that we weren't pre-warned that we would be seated next to a large party, that food may take longer than expected, and that our food had clearly been forgotten about but had not been told this and were advised that the kitchen was just busy. When the plates were sent back to us, they had just been microwaved. I'd have presumed fresh, hot food on a new plate would have been indicated?! Furthermore, we were charged for the drinks and the side of mac n cheese!!! We hadn't touch the main meals, had eaten a quarter of the mac and cheese due to being so hungry. Although we were apologised too, it would have been appreciated to have not had to pay for the hour and 45mins that we were sat, with no food, then to be served stale, dry food and to leave with sore heads worsening from the noise surrounding us. Will not be back."

"on Thursday 23 6 22 visited the pough inn, eynsford, kent with my wife about 1315 clock to 1532 clock. in this time of visit the atmosphere calmly relaxed in the inn, even no problems with the parking space in the disabled bay remember their vehicle registration at the bar inn at the arrival recording! disabled entrance, toilet facilities also here. a historical inn with a historical architecture that is part of the historic village of eynsford is certainly one of the most famous picturesque villages not only in kent england, but the whole of the U.K. the beautiful upper achievements of the river darent and its famous ford crossing are always an attraction for many visitors in the heart of the village along riverside. the plough inn is conveniently located next to the river bank and awaits them with friendly, friendly and friendly staff to offer them a menu to be proud. a fairly large parking space in the spaces, but consider that this inn in where its location can be very busy due to its popularity. like most pub, gastro-pub restaurants, depending on season, day of week, daytime, it would probably be advisable to check before! but of course, they can have luck, only show up casually without a reservation, especially on a weekday. the general interieur very chic. the decor inside is a blend of smooth earthy colors to fit the walls with attractive presented furniture. table and chair arrangements are properly spaced apart, there is also an area in the upper floor. warm modern lighting and lamps, and a good long bar. very clean and hygienic round, I found. eating is very good to choose a good choice of British and Mediterranean European dishes on all courses. especially for me unforgettable is the sweet dessert! my wife and I visited here about 20 years ago, and I always remembered one of the best cheesecake I had ever eaten. this time I had the chocolate trio cheesecake, I recommend! also at this opportunity I had pan fried scallops for beginners, and the main a delicious king prawn crab chorizo linguine...done too perfection in my view!. only a small part, it seemed to lack quantity, but hey, made sure for it in quality. I could just have eaten another main dish....hope this note free at least to the chef and catering staff! Maybe not the fastest table service, but for me, that does not play any role in a beautiful relaxing inn where the time can drift wonderfully. perfect ideal for couples to hug their time here, ideal for a steady walk along the river banks and village. Yes, my wife and I will return at a later time. and yes, I personally give this wonderful well remembered inn my praise with an assessment of a1, 10 10 10. a pleasure to be here, enjoyed chat with the staff. a lot of luck with future hospitality and use. chris"

"There were 5 people In our group for lunch, 2 vegans, 2 veggies and an omni. 4 of us actually ordered from the vegan menu and 1 ordered a vegetarian dish. My main issue was that 2 of us (myself being vegan and the omni in the group! ordered the flat bread from the vegan menu it didn’t advertise coming with chips but when we ordered our waiter asked us which chips we would prefer so we both asked for sweet potato fries. When the fries came out they had cheese on them (despite us clearly ordering from the separate vegan menu . I’m not sure if this was an error on the waiter or the kitchen’s part but the waiter apologised. I shared the fries with one of the vegetarians in the group so I just avoided any that had cheese on them, however I’m now wondering whether actually they were not cooked in a separate fryer and this is why they weren’t on the vegan menu!? In terms of staff knowledge I was also disappointed when I asked what type of plant based burger it was on the vegan menu (I.e. meat substitute or bean based etc and our waiter didn’t know or really seem to understand the question (and didn’t offer to find out . That’s why I chose the flat bread instead and then had the cheese issue! My second main issue is that the food was pretty average especially considering the price. 3 of us had the vegan chocolate tart advertised as coming with fresh berries. (2 of us originally ordered the treacle tart which was sold out, fair enough . However 2 of us can’t eat strawberries so asked for the tart without them, expecting other berries instead, however the only berry on the third tart was a solitary diced strawberry! The tart was also pretty small considering it didn’t come with any accompaniment but cost £6.25! Overall it’s great they’re trying with a vegan menu but my view is that they must try harder!"
