    Another great meal at this local gem. This time it was a Valentines tasting menu offering and all the courses delighted. Of special note were the scallops with smoked eel and then the halibut... beautifully cooked. Not forgetting the white chocolate petit fours... exquisite! A word about the service - fantastic. Will keep returning for sure

    What a beautiful place and a fancy menu that actually tastes good! This is the second time I have been to the Fordwich Arms and both times the food and the service have been second to none. You can get a beautiful fine dining type experience for £250 (including a couple of drinks) that rivals some of the top London restaurants. FIVE STARS

    Superb choice for my 80th Birthday celebration. The chef even added an additional Happy Birthday desert. Having filmed numerous Food programmes for ITV, the whole team offer a highly professional service and take a great pride. Its a great example that no matter where the rural location is, if the ambience, food quality and staff, customers will always go the extra mile.
