   Lovely food, great atmosphere, staff very friendly. Good to be able to chose between child free and child friendly dining areas Jean very accommodating with booking requirements and last minute changes. Have had midweek dining and Sunday lunch and would recommend it all… Very easy to see why this inn won Inn of the year…

   This place is magnificent and it’s our new favourite. The food is brilliant and me being obsessed by desserts I have to mention the chocolate and stem ginger torte which is probably the best dessert I’ve had in ages

   Ate this evening (16.03.2025). Part of one meal was missing which had to be pointed out to the staff and us having haf to ask for missing portion. Three people at our table had ribeye steak, but no steak knives were provided which we also had to ask for. No-one asked us if we wanted to order any more drinks and or our bottle of tap water needed re-filling but no-one offered to do so? Those who had steak really enjoyed it but said the peppercorn sauce was mild/not very peppery. Their meal was served with no veg, only one very small sliced tomato and mushroom and a bit of watercress). The beef served with the roast beef Sunday dinner was chewy and fatty and was left piled up on the edge of the plate. This was almost £25], quite an expensive meal which on the whole, was not up to standard and the service could/should have been much better.

   We had an outstanding meal at the Cartford Inn. Five star in every department. Fantastic food, service and ambiance. The live entertainment (a saxophonist) was an added bonus!

   Absolutely lovely meal once again at the Cartford Inn - the live music was fantastic and the food was without fault. We had three courses and all four of us had different items, all incredible and presented so well. The service was great too, all of the staff are attentive and know the food + drink offerings really well. Would always recommend!
