Description

Behind the clapboard façade sits a spacious bar with bookshelf wallpaper and a modern extension where you can watch the chefs cooking steaks on two Big Green Eggs. Care is taken both in sourcing and cooking, and dishes are boldly flavoured and well-presented. Simpler dishes are available on the bar menu.

Review summary

Kentish Hare in Southborough offers modern cuisine with generally high food quality, featuring standout dishes like seabass, chicken liver parfait, and excellent Sunday roasts. Vegetarian options receive mixed feedback. Service is largely praised for being friendly and attentive, with specific mentions of staff member Carla, though some guests report pacing issues or cold attitudes. The ambiance is bright and airy, highlighted by an open kitchen and beautiful gardens, with full wheelchair accessibility. While many find the value acceptable, some consider it expensive. Drink selections, particularly Pimm's, could be improved. Overall, it is a solid choice for special occasions and casual dining.
