Lovely meal this evening at the Hoof and hook! Great service, lovely food! Cocktails were very good! Have to park on the High Street as no parking at the restaurant.. quite pricey, but was a lovely treat!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Hoof and Hook in Tenterden, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The service was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. We started with the Kentish Mini Tacos, and they were absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and a perfect start to the meal. The blend of local ingredients really shone through in every bite. For the main, I ordered the Hoof Burger with fries, and it was perfection on a plate. The burger was juicy, full of flavor, and cooked to perfection, while the fries were crispy and golden, just the way I like them. We also had the Asian Ribs , which were a delightful surprise—tender, packed with a rich, savoury glaze, and bursting with a perfect balance of sweet and spicy flavours. The combination of incredible food and warm, attentive service made our visit unforgettable. Hoof and Hook is definitely a must-visit if you’re in Tenterden! We will most certainly be back.

The Hoof & Hook is Situated in the heart of the historic town of Tenterden in the middle of the High Street in the building that was formerly Cafe Rouge. It has had a complete makeover, not just in its appearance but also the menu. The food is absolutely excellent, very high quality and beautifully presented. I had a "Hoof Classic" burger with fries and it was was delicious, cooked to perfection and the portion size was spot on. Probably one of the best burgers I have had in years, it consisted of two beef patties, cheese, lettuce, pickles, cheese and bacon all served in a really nice bun (sorry I missed the photo). My mother had the King Prawns (pictures attached), she said that they were probably the best King Prawns she had ever had. The service was outstanding and our waitress was very friendly and attentive. I highly recommend the Hoof & Hook. 10 out of 10 guys and keep up the excellent work, looking forward to seeing you all again soon.

I only popped in for a drink and to watch The Lionesses. It was empty and I sat upstairs on my own in a beautiful room where they were showing the football. A member of staff came to watch as well and was more than happy to keep nipping downstairs to get me more wine!

We had a really lovely family meal (in. Dog) we accidentally booked for happy hour and enjoyed a few cocktails with our meal. Food was delicious and the service was super friendly! The pub is beautifully decorated too. Only downside was, I could have eaten more! But really recommend.

A real gem! Wish we had this back home. Truly pleasant and warm ambiance. Portions are perfect. If I ever have opportunity, we will definitely come back. The Muscles were to die for.

Went in for lunch today and had a really tasty meal. Staff were very friendly and the restaurant has been decorated really nicely, great atmosphere. The variety on the menu is good and they have some nice ales on from local distilleries including Tenterden's own Old Dairy.

We decided to try Hoof & Hook for Sunday lunch and we're really impressed. The staff were great and the food was absolutely delicious. We were a little confused by date under the sugar cube bottle but were told the bottles are cleaned regularly. It was also a pity they were on limited rations with parsnips as we only had a single one and a sliver of what we think was was carrot. The pork though was absolutely amazing.
