As always, nice relaxed informal atmosphere. Staff always very welcoming. Efficient service. Nice meal. If you go on a Thursday before 11am you can also visit the Shipbourne Farmers Market next door too.

We had lunch at this stunning pub set in the heart of the Weald of Kent. Several Kent walks start and end at this location and it's a,wonderful place for a drink or lunch afterwards. Choice of beers is excellent, with ales kept well. It's a busy pub restaurant but there were plenty of young staff and service was excellent.

we've visited the Chaser a few times over the years. I love the location, next to the church and over looking the common; you get the feeling that you're looking at the same views that previous visitors have done for centuries. The food is good too, not cheap but large portion sizes. Makes an ideal venue for an informal family... More

I booked our Saturday night meal (for 6 people) quite some time ago and it was after booking that I read the reviews on here. I was a bit worried I might have made the wrong decision. I shouldn't have worried. We had a great meal. The pub was very busy but we were seated on scheduled and there was... More

We visited The Chaser today for a family meal to celebrate a birthday. Knowing it was a bank holiday we made sure we booked a table. We arrived promptly at 3.30 only to be told that they had no roast dinners remaining at all. Nothing - not just no beef, no chicken, lamb - nothing. This restaurant is renowned for... More

Only been here once but was thoroughly impressed with the quality of food. Personal favourite was the white chocolate cheesecake. One downside was a member of our party having to return their steak, having asked for rare it came out well done! But the staff were more than happy to rectify this problem.

I have heard great things about The Chaser, and wanted to check it out for myself this afternoon. 3 of us arrived for lunch, to be greeted by a lady in a red top. I asked "do you have a table for 3 available?" To which the woman replied "well no, there's a wait", I asked how long the wait... More

I go here fairly regularly - and they rarely let you down! allways polite & courteous, and i must say the service has always been fairly quick, in fact if its going to be slow, they tend to advise you advance. My favourite - the lamb shoulder, but would advise ordering when hungry!
