    Second visit to the Tiger Inn, really enjoyed the food and definitely recommend, would suggest to order more sides for the main as I ordered the pie and mash and wasn’t quite enough mash 😁 The chocolate brownie was delicious.

    Had an absolutely fantastic time at the Lazy Lobster for my partner’s birthday. The setting is lovely, the service excellent and the food delicious. Between the two of us, we had 3 sharing plates, two sides, bread (with delicious seaweed butter), two fried oysters, a pudding and a couple of drinks each and it came to £55 a head. We thought this was very reasonable for what is really excellent quality food. We have visited a number of Michelin star restaurants in Kent and beyond and, whilst a more relaxed/informal style of dining at the Lazy Lobster, we certainly felt that there were dishes that would compete. We particularly loved the tuna tartare, lobster and prawn noodles and chocolate panna cotta with marmalade. We’ll definitely be back to sample other plates!

    A fabulous Sunday lunch! We were a party of 11, gathering for a special occasion. Communication with booking and preordering was friendly and easy. We were given a lovely welcome on arrival, good service throughout, and enjoyed the most delicious Sunday roast. Meat was tender and vegetables perfectly cooked. Selection of lovely starters. Any extra requests were met willingly. The ambiance and surroundings in the Kings Arms were both warm and stylish (including the toilets and toitetries) -especially appreciated by the family down from London and most discerning friends :) Exceptional, thank you!
