New Flying Horse Inn

It’s almost always nice here, but today’s visit was spoiled by a solo guy sitting in the corner that seemed to have an opinion on anything. He was also vaping and therefore sending clouds of stinking vapour into the atmosphere which I believe is illegal indoors, however he was allowed to do this in full view of the bar staff who said nothing at all. Perhaps he owns the place.

Our second stay at the New Flying Horse was every bit as good as the first. This time we ate in the restaurant and had a superb meal at prices that didn’t make you feel you were being ripped off. The breakfast was first class. The owners have thought about every little detail and the result is a well run, friendly and extremely comfortable place to stay. I’d highly recommend it.

More than anywhere else I had the pleasure of staying during our trip, the New Flying Horse made me and my family wish we never had to leave. Joe, Jane, and all the staff run a lovely, quaint country inn, pub, and restaurant where the only thing better than the food is the service, and that’s saying a lot! Great beer selection (try one or seven of the Master Brew!), gin infused in-house with the fruits of their own patio garden, and a cheerful local crowd to enjoy it all with. Sit by the fireplace for some quieter conversation or right up in front of the bar for the banter, the good times roll here. Next, enjoy some delicious traditional fare, or a filet that could just as easily be served in Paris. There were even options for the kids which they happily lapped up. Do yourself a favor, save room for the Sticky Toffee Pudding… or skip dinner and order two of them, and have someone help you up the stairs to your room. The beds are comfy and the room was roomy, even right above the pub you couldn’t hear the noise. Kids slept all night with stomachs pleasantly full! Breakfast was a great start to the day every morning, with something tasty on the menu for all tastes. The little things, like offering us a map before we went for a walk, or an umbrella, just add to the charm of the place and the people working here. These folks are proud of their place in the country, and we absolutely enjoyed our stay here. We will definitely be back sometime before Spurs win the PL title, or before the Lions move up to get their shot at it, whichever comes first! Thanks Joe and Jane!

We popped in for a drink and light bite on Friday lunchtime. Place was fairly busy but staff were welcoming and pleasant. Bought drinks at bar and the young gentleman behind bar kindly gave us the heads up re. A table about to vacate as there was no where initially to sit down. As it happened a table right in front of the bar then became available so we sat there. Ordered and paid for two omelettes and fries but although no mention of a service charge on the lunchtime menu, this was added to the non-itemised receipt. I queried this and the same young gentleman apologised and offered to refund the charge. The food was nice enough and served in good time. They also served a complimentary amuse bouche. Overall what could have been a good experience was let down by the adding of an unadvertised (on the lunch menu at least) service charge for a party of 2 sitting about 2ft from the bar! We did tip - we always do - but I prefer to have the option and to make the decision after the food has actually been served. As yet no sign of the refund to my debit card either.

The staff went out of their way to make our stay unforgettable. We were leaving before breakfast the next day so they arranged a breakfast goodybag for us to take. Food is delightful. A perfect overnight stay on our way to France

The food was amazing but the stars of the show were the staff. Every single one of them was engaging, smiley and efficient. The stay was great and that was down to the fact that they had thought of everything with regards to their guests’ comfort. Even though our room was above the pub, there wasn’t much noise. We were only planning on eating in the pub one night but we ended up eating both nights as the food was so good. If you fancy splashing out then have the fillet steak - I think it’s the best meal I’ve ever had!

We had room five which is in the main building, the room was full of character and nicely decorated and besides a small mark on the carpet was clean and well looked after. There was a Wi-Fi repeater in the room so the wi-fi was strong, there was also a 5G signal which is better than we can get at home in a large town. There was a small work area along with the tea/coffee-making area. At check-in I was given a small flask of fresh milk, which was a nice touch as to me there is nothing worse than UHT milk. The bathroom was clean and stylish with everything that you may require for your stay. The staff were friendly and helpful showing us up to our room. Breakfast was cooked to order and warm croissants were served while you waited, there was also a normal continental selection along with fruit juices. My only negative observation was this modern fascination with sourdough bread, which I'm afraid find tough especially as toast, and would have preferred plain old white sliced toasting bread. I would recommend this Inn, oh and it won Shepherd Neame Pub of 2023

Stayed overnight visiting family and what a wonderful pub. The food was superb , the rooms were decorated beautifully and lots of thoughtful extras like biscuits , tea & coffee and water . The pub loves dogs -they have dog bowls , doggie treats and even a doggie breakfast if you stay overnight . Huge wine range all available by the glass , fab range of beers and lagers , plus non alcoholic drinks . Wye is a lovely village and this pub and all of its staff are a credit to it .

Quick decision for lunch, four of us + baby. Nice welcome . Superb decor, clean and very comfortable. Great menu, great selection of beers, settled for a Whitstable Bay Stout, lovely. I had a super fish and chips, large piece of bread and oil, (wonderful). Undoubtedly will be back. Thank you.
