beautiful eating, great service, always a pleasure to visit the walnut

the service was slow, eating was bad. no orange juice on the bar. dishes had missing components. will not go back.

Booked here last minute. The food was amazing and the staff really friendly. I absolutely loved the style of the pub with the beautiful beams. When the bill came I was surprised how reasonable it was. I was expecting it to cost a lot more. Will be back! View menu

The food was quite good. But the area that made our experience a negative one was the staff and drink available. We asked the waiter which beers we're on offer and there were no ales and he didn't even seem to understand the concept of what ale is. He didn't understand that the fish and chips was in a BEER batter and remarked to my mother in law that it was cod not beer. We were only given one napkin and then the waiter was surprised when we asked for more. There was no ale on offer and a short stock of lager. It took a long time between courses to be given the menus again. Service needs serious improvement.

This is a review of a company. I advise anyone considering working at this pub to avoid it at all costs. During my time there, I experienced salary deductions and was either not paid or underpaid. I started in September and am still owed £350. The owner acknowledged the debt but attempted to avoid paying me. They ignored my emails, forcing me to take legal action. I am still waiting for my money, and it is a frustrating situation. The management is incompetent, and the staff are not treated well. I urge anyone in need of employment to avoid this business. Stay away from The Chequers Inn and The Hengist in Aylesford as well, as they are owned by the same individuals.

Waited over an hour for food despite pre-booking. No warning on arrival that there was a problem with service. Food arrived one plate at a time and waited ages before cutlery arrived so we’re left with food in front of us but nothing to eat it with. Overhead another table complain about waiting 2 hours for food, so I guess we were lucky! When food did arrive, key elements of each dish were missing, ie no salad served with scampi and chips as advertised on menu, also no bread served with Greek Salad as advertised. The children’s penne pasta was so over cooked the pasta fell apart as soon as you tried to pick it up with a fork. We wouldn’t go back based on this experience. View menu

This review is a warning for anyone considering working at this pub. I strongly advise against it. During my time there, I consistently received pay slips with no corresponding payments or was underpaid. Despite bringing up the issue, the owner blamed the bank and refused to address the problem. My attempts to communicate via email were ignored, leading me to file a small claims court case. As of now, I have yet to receive the money owed to me and it is nearly March. The management is incompetent and the staff are not treated well. I urge anyone seeking employment to avoid this company at all costs. Additionally, stay away from The Chequers Inn and The Hengist in Aylesford, as they are also...

We arrived at exactly 5pm when our table was booked, we were sat down and then left as if we had been forgotten about my other half went up to the bar to order drinks and asked someone to come and take our food order at 5:30 and they came over at 5:45. Our starter arrived at 6:15 and then our mains was not delivered until 7pm we felt as if we had been forgotten about and we understand it was busy but no one came over to apologise for the delay or even explain that there would be a delay. The food when it did arrive was cold, and because of this I didn’t eat much of mine at all. I am very disappointed as I have been before and the service and food was amazing so to come back and receive this...

We went here yesterday m Father’s Day and they were extremely under staffed for the occasion and the kitchen couldn’t not keep up with the amount orders going into the kitchen. The waiting staff we very friendly and understanding to our frustrations. We waited over an hour for our starters to arrive, then the mains took an extra half hour for our mains to arrive which wouldn’t normally be a problem but giving the waiting time for the starters we were all pretty fed up by this point one of our children was to tired to eat. What was meant to be an afternoon meal turned out to be an evening meal and meaning we didn’t get home until late. Having said all of this the food was delicious when it di... View menu
