We went to the 'Wheel Inn' at Westwell, near Charing (which is near Canterbury). Pretty pub that had candles and fresh flowers on all the tables as we went in. It was a Tues lunchtime and fairly busy but as, like many old, traditional pubs, was fairly dark inside so the candles looked very welcoming.Ladies toilets were clean (we have discovered that this is where a lot of pubs fall down. None of them are ever dirty but some can be a little grubby.) These were fine.

The meals were good traditional fare. There was a specials board which my husband chose from - a ribeye steak done their way. He found it a little tough, which is unusual for rib-eye steak, and felt it was not worth the extra he had paid. I had a taglettelli with bacon, chicken in a cream sauce with garlic bread. Absolutely delicious but as it was so rich I was unable to finish it.

There was an unexpected large beer garden at the back. It was a large grassed area with plenty of room between the tables and a backdrop of trees, including a willow. No direct access to the pub from the beer garden.

The cost of the two course meal for four with one round of drinks was app £70. Jean
