The Kilcot Inn was built in the 1690’s although there has been a dwelling here since the 1530’s. The Kilcot has a long and varied history but we know the building was initially built by Thomas Davis (b.1654.)

Recently, the Inn had fallen into disrepair and had become derelict. It was bought by a local businesswoman, Mrs. Thomas.

It was slowly refurbished to an excellent standard by the whole Thomas family, including Mr. Thomas, a builder, and her son, who worked on the site for the whole project.

The Kilcot Inn is now proud to offer award winning food and 4* Gold rated rooms- and are thrilled to be the next chapter in the history of The Kilcot Inn.

    excellent location, good food, only slight downside was the hour delay between first and second courses. But hopng this was just a one-off we will eat there again and have already recommended it to others.

    Visited on Saturday lunchtime, food on the whole was great, a couple of small issues, the batter on the calamari was not as crisp as it should have been and far too much lettuce with the salmon and prawn salad, other than that it was a lovely lunch.

    A quiet Thursday night meal with a couple of friends. Not particularly busy, but then it was a Thursday. Staff were attentive and polite. Food was enjoyable. The mid-price range Malbec of Mendoza, certainly quaffable. Overall, a pleasant meal.

    Haven't visited for a couple of months, very good menu, part of a party of four and all agreed that the evening was very good. Chicken kebabs were very good, lovely BBQ aroma, lots of lovely potato's, perhaps a few too many as I was a little over faced. Two of the party had Sea Bream that look delicious and reported that it tasted as good as it looked. Slight delay between main and desert course but without being prompted the staff acknowledged to let us know we were not forgotten. Must have been good as I have booked another table in a couple of weeks

    A delicious Sunday roast dinner. We chose two courses for £21.95 but could have had 3 courses for £25.95. A very good choice of meat or vegetarian option for a roast dinner or if you prefer there are salads and a fish option. Lots of starters and desserts to choose from. My only disappointment was the Potato option which was just roast and I personally would have liked less roast potatoes and the option of mash or boiled potatoes. Vegetables were al dente which we liked. I’m sure they would cook vegetables longer if you ask for this on ordering. Wine list and drink options all excellent. Waitress service was also excellent. They have gluten free option which means we will be back with relatives for another delicious meal!

    Very disappointed as not informed it was a “set menu “ upon ordering food. Having visited several times before this wasn’t what we were used to. We were only made aware of set menu when the waitress was aware that not both were having two courses so a very expensive Sunday lunch out. Will not be returning whilst the set menu is in place. Food was not as good as we’ve had before either, gravy like stock water.

    The Kilcot InnResponded on 5 April 2022I'm sorry that you did not notice the set 2 or 3 course price at the top of the menu when you were deciding what to order and I'm sorry that you didn't notice there were no prices next to the items you ordered. If you had queried this, the waitress would have pointed out to you the set price at the top of the menu. This menu has been in place for a year and it works very well for our customers and the business. We still, sadly have to turn customers away every week so it will remain for now.

    We’ve been there before many times. It was one of our favourite places to eat. We went again for Sunday roast and it was very disappointing. They must’ve changed the chef even the brownie was completely different than the one we used to have. Staff were very helpful but sadly we won’t be going back.

    The service was very good especially from the front of house guy. he was attentive and welcoming. The place was clean and the room where we ate was well lit and had lovely little extras such as fresh flowers on the tables. The food was rather disappointing - I had ham egg and chips. The ham was a bit chewy and the chunky chips were very hard on the outside and soft inside. They had a good flavour but were not easy to eat although I realise many people like their chips cooked that way. We didn't have dessert and I ordered a black coffee which I could not drink. it may had been in the jug a long time. I have eaten here before and the quality of the food has been better so I will visit again in the hope that it will be good again.

    We found the food a little over-priced from the a la carte menu (which was all that we were offered). Two courses for £21 was too steep for what was essentially just nice pub grub. We only ordered 2 starters, so three of our group of 5 just had a main meal. One of those was a prawn and salmon salad - to effectively pay £21 for that was not good value (even though we took away 3 desserts to eat later). The food was tasty and we all enjoyed our meals but we would have preferred to choose from a wider menu and perhaps pay in the region of £12-15 for our meal. Service was good though, and the venue was nice.

    Sunday Lunch… this may or should be somewhat of a highlight of the week. And I’m afraid a lot of that hinges on the gravy! Please chef pay more attention to this condiment. What we had was nothing resembling home-made gravy and was the consistency of milk. The vegetables were boiled, and were somewhat firm but I think something with moisture like a broccoli Mornay or cauliflower cheese would just pep it up a bit! Overall this is a bustling lively & dog friendly old-fashioned hostelry with a lovely atmosphere.
