Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Just returned from an excellent breakfast with friends. The big breakfast was absolutely perfect. Tasty local produce very well prepared by a great young chef. Friendly reception and service, can't ask for anything more. Will definitely return, and so should you go there.

So pleasing to find an old fashioned pub like this one. Proper beers, Shepherd Neame, the oldest brewers in England. Sunday lunch was not fancy but traditional with all the trimmings at a very economic price and served up with friendliness and good humour.Not a...big place so best to book a table in advance.More

We came across the Saracens whilst on holiday in Kent - we are so pleased we did!! This is the kind of pub you often wish you could find but never do! A really warm friendly welcome from the landlord and lady set the tone,...the ales (Whitstable Bay) really well kept and poured. We saw the sign for Sunday lunch (so difficult to find these days), nothing was too much trouble and the food was freshly cooked, locally sourced, delicious AND super value. All the staff without exception were brilliant. We will definitely return on our next visit to Kent. Thanks very much.More

My first visit to this pub with recent new owners. Went for lunch with a friend and to listen to solo singer, Jack Reynolds( please forgive of not get his name right!). What can I say, absolutely fabulous and made so welcome in this family...run pub. Small menu but this is good so they don't over stretch themselves and what was served was delicious and hot, well done. Brilliant Sunday lunch time entertainment who was fabulous and engaged well with everyone. His voice was something else. This will now become our local and plan to return next Saturday for Mowtown/Ska/Soul disco. Brilliant, well done and looking forward to trying the breakfast. Thank you.More
