"My friends and I arrived 5 minutes before our booking very standard and we 're told we were 'too early ' (rude and to go and sit at the bar and wait as our table was still full and to set up a tab then to not set up a tab then to set up a tab (rude .

Having been sat down 15 minutes (rude and I asked for a drink twice (rude we are now 45 minutes into our booking when someone did come over this was to tell us to move as it was the only disability accessible table (which we would be more than happy to move for but there was no please, no sorry no anything she just said 'we 're going to have to move you ' (rude . I was absolutely horrified at this rudeness. We then moved and I asked for my drink a third time (rude and honestly, by the time our order was taken we had been there a full hour (rude . This was a Sunday evening so I didn 't want to be there as late as we ended up being (hence why I made a booking! and also the majority of the restaurant was empty so why on earth they couldn 't just sit us at another table is beyond me. I have worked in restaurants myself for years and I am generally very understanding of waiters and restaurants but none of this behaviour is acceptable or explainable. In summary, we booked it meant nothing, we waited an hour to even order, staff were beyond rude at multiple points and extremely unaccommodating and we were generally treated like we were almost a burden to be there? I genuinely was horrified at the service I received I have never experienced anything like it. I cannot condemn this place enough it was absolutely appalling."

We were somewhat let down to discover that 4 of the beers we tried were flat, so we ended up choosing the London Pale Ale. Visualizza piatti

The Lion Hotel in Farningham enjoys a prime position right by the river and is extremely popular with families in the Summer, and does get very busy. The

Open table booking had not registered and no space in restaurant. Initially put us in unused area of restaurant that was almost deserted but laid up. Upon trying to order at bar told not serving where we were shown to sit. Decided to stay as late to go elsewhere and ate in bar area. Food was good but not hot. Even extra gravy was warm. Overall we won't rush back. Visualizza piatti

I came to this restaurant for a quick lunch with my family. We all ordered off the new vegan menu. The spiced chickpea, spinach, and eggplant burger was fantastic! We also tried the miso eggplant roll, which was also great - seasoned with chipotle sauce and very tasty. The pub is lovely, and I plan to take photos of the exterior next time once they fix the facade. There are plenty of seating options outside, including options for disabled individuals and families with children. There is also ample free parking, and the village of Farningham is beautiful. I will definitely be returning soon.

Have been a few times over the years and wanted to review our Saturday night as soon as we walked in we could tell it was very busy and they were very short staffed. Usually a recipe for disaster however the staff were all incredibly polite (whilst literally running around to serve everyone) and explained that they were short staffed and apologised in advance. Couldn’t fault any one at all, yes service was a little slower than usual but we were in no rush at all, and having been forewarned we weren’t too bothered anyway. Huge shout out to Claire who was our server for being so friendly and even going back to the kitchen to check if they had enough calamari for us both to have it I know if I’...

"I booked originally for 6pm and had to change to 6:30pm due to traffic. I hadn’t confirmed The new booking so the host could not find a booking for us. It was my father’s birthday and I was really worried I had messed it up. The host, was fine and was still able to get us seated, we were very pleased with that. We were given a choice of tables, and as a larger guest, I was able to be seated comfortably. We’re we’re served by Tom. S ,for the evening. OMG! What a charming and delightful waiter. He was attentive, had great banter and held a wonderful conversation, wished my father a happy birthday, and tended to my wine being filled up all evening. He made us feel wonderful, and made me feel like a million dollars. The food was absolutely superb, French onion soup was perfectly seasoned, the croutons were Devine along with a salty cheese. Loaded with sweet onions: The liver parfait my husband had was delicious he said. My dad and husband had the beef bourguignon, and I had the chicken, gratin with a side of dauphinois potatoes… Again… absolutely perfect. The service here was top notch, and Tom.S made our first experience at Côte the best. He is a first class waiter, that I would compare to the the likes of The Ritz and The Savoy. Fantastic personality, and very well groomed and presented. What a fabulous and marvellous team member you have there. Cherish that! We will definitely return, and recommend this restaurant highly. 5 Service from Tom.S and the chef."
