"Reflecting on the old menu, it attempted to be overly creative, obviously aiming for local awards, but often felt too extravagant and rich. I dined there many times, and found the meals to be excessive and trying too hard to impress—overthought and oversaturated. The service was acceptable, but the timing from the small kitchen was very inconsistent, leading to long waits for food when the dining area was full, likely due to the complicated menu. Now, under new management, I can confidently say that the food is exceptional, and the atmosphere is welcoming. If you’re seeking large portions, this might not be the place for you, and don’t let negative reviews deter you. For those who want hearty servings, you may prefer a chain like Harvester. However, if you’re after amazing flavors, beautifully simple presentation, a traditional pub ambiance, and attentive staff, I highly recommend visiting this impressive addition to the Kent countryside. I took my kids and partner, and I must say, my children have never eaten cauliflower with such enthusiasm! For starters, we enjoyed the salmon and beetroot dishes—both were superb and would cost four times as much in the top restaurants of big cities, without the flavor to match. Our main courses included exceptionally seasoned cod, elegantly presented with rich taste, and their take on the Sunday roast (beef) was outstanding. The beers are sourced from microbreweries, steering clear of the bland, mass-produced options. The Sunday morning Bloody Marys were fabulous too. The desserts were innovative, packed with flavor, and perfectly portioned. I’ve traveled extensively and dined in more Michelin-starred restaurants than I can count—something the previous owners may never have realized. This establishment, under its new management, is truly remarkable. Those who can’t see past the transitional phase or the fresh ownership may not appreciate what it offers, which is something authentic. I’m thrilled they’ve reopened with such style and flair, executing the basics exceptionally well while being an integral part of the community. Keep up the great work—you’re on the path to fabulous success; there’s nothing quite like this in Kent!"

Another excellent meal, and our first one after a long lockdown. I couldn't recommend the Compasses Inn any more highly with any more words so just trust me and go there and try it for yourself. It's not cheap but it's worth every penny.

We didn't have much opportunity to try the food but the menu looks great and the food we saw going to others was lovely. The garden is a beautiful spot and the staff pleasant and helpful. We loved the old world atmosphere with a cracking menu.

Visited the Compasses Inn for the first time, and really enjoyed everything about it. We went on a weekday lunchtime and had some brilliant food and wine, staff were really friendly and the place had a nice atmosphere. Great covid protocols too putting you at ease. Would highly recommend. Speisekarte ansehen

Fantastic selection of craft beers, and the restaurant boasts a Michelin star! You can truly taste the excellence in every dish, even the vegan options. Who would have imagined that such a prestigious award would go to a charming little pub nestled in a quaint hamlet high in the hills of the Kent Downs?
Jamie
A great little gastro pub in a really quirky spot but get there soon whilst you can. This is our second time eating here and overheard the owners telling a family dining that it was closing down soon. This is really sad news and if the owners do set up somewhere else, please contact me to let me know where as I can say without hesitation that the food here is delicious. The bread with marmite cream cheese is so good as was all of the dishes we had from the menu.

We live close by and like to camp and explore our local area. While walking we happened upon The Petham Pint which was a brilliant micro pub. The owner recommended a 40 minute beautiful and easy walk to the Compasses. What a stunning countryside pub. Beautifully decorated and really friendly, welcoming vibe. Nicest bar staff charged our phone and gave us a chocolate bar as we were desperate for a sweet treat and there was no food on at that time. We’ll definitely be back. There will be a resident chef there from next weekend so we’ll be happy to try the food offerings then. Dog friendly, great pints and stunning location Speisekarte ansehen

I was able to secure a table for the second dinner service, and I really enjoyed it. The bar staff is incredibly knowledgeable, which made for a great experience. The front-of-house team was super friendly and natural, making us feel very welcome. The food was outstanding—lucky for us, Chef Ben was in the kitchen before heading back to Stark. The new head chef has some big shoes to fill if they aim to maintain this quality. I’m looking forward to seeing what happens on our next visit. I also want to give a shout-out to the pastry chef, Cleo—her desserts were a 10 out of 10. We’ll definitely be back and will order just as much food again. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

Brilliant lunch at The Compasses. Such a beautiful historic building with a massive garden out back in the middle of some of the nicest countryside Kent has to offer. Weekend kitchen is run by Paesana (Sicilian inspired menu from the folks who also have a food residency at the George and Heart in Margate) great selection of salads and pasta dishes at fair prices for the portions and calibre. Super impressed by the food (grilled peach proscuttio salad especially). Country pubs in Kent usually boring drinks menu. Not so here, wide selection of beers from some of the South East's best craft breweries (Kernel, Pressure Drop, etc) and a solid wine spirits offering. Also really appreciate the thou...
