Updown Farmhouse
Hidden in the heart of the glorious Kent countryside, this delightful 17C farmhouse has been lovingly restored by its owners, and in the garden you'll find a charming, vine-laden conservatory restaurant with rustic décor. There are Italian influences aplenty on the menu, with dishes like ossobuco and crab tagliolini, alongside many cooked over an open fire and steak night on Wednesday. The gardens stretch over 7 acres in total, with individually styled bedrooms spread about the place.
TripAdvisor review sample · 3.9/5 · 80 reviews
Updown Farmhouse in Worth offers regional cuisine in a historic country farmhouse setting. Based on 80 reviews averaging 3.9/5, opinions are mixed. Food quality varies significantly; while some praise the fresh Sunday roast, crab salad, and baked hake, others report tough, low-quality steaks and disappointing meals. Service is inconsistent, with complaints about cramped seating during busy periods, uncomfortable chairs, and slow attention, though some guests appreciated warm greetings and excellent cocktails. The ambiance is widely regarded as a highlight, featuring beautiful gardens, a vine-covered pergola, and sympathetic preservation of heritage architecture. Value for money is debated, often undermined by service lapses or food inconsistencies. It suits travelers seeking traditional English rural dining and scenic settings, provided they manage expectations regarding service reliability and culinary consistency.
Suitable for diners valuing rustic ambiance and heritage architecture, but avoid peak hours and expect variable service.
