Found this review
.The Jackdaw Inn is located in the picturesque village of Denton which is about a 10 minute drive from Folkestone, Dover and Canterbury.
The Jackdaw was the 'on location' site for filming a part of the 'Battle of Britain' film. The famous air battle was actually fought in the skies over this pub!
The Jackdaw
Inside, the pub is very traditional and has exposed oak beams running along the ceilings inside. The walls are decorated with information about the history of the pub which all makes for very interesting reading. I love the fact that The Jackdaw is meant to be a traditional village pub and it manages to do this as the décor inside is traditional and very welcoming.
There is a large bar which serves a selection of soft drinks, as well as alcoholic drinks such as spirits, wines and beer. There is also a range of Draught beer available. Hot drinks such as tea, coffee and hot chocolate are also served at the bar.
As you walk in the pub, there is a seating area on the left hand side which consists of wooden tables and chairs. There is a large open fire place and to the front of this, there are two 3 seater leather sofas and an armchair which makes a great setting if you are having a chilled drink or two!!
Behind this area, is the main restaurant which is large, enough to accommodate approximately 200 people. The tables vary in size from 2 seaters to larger tables that can seat around 8 people. There is also a garden area with tables and chairs which makes a lovely setting in the summer. The garden is also now kitted out with heaters for any smokers who visit the premises.
The Food
The food is the main reason to visit The Jackdaw. Put simply, the food is delicious! The Jackdaw has an extensive menu for visitors to chose from and there is also a specials board which changes on a weekly basis. My girlfriend is vegetarian and this in one of the few places where we can visit where she can chose something different every time.
Another thing that has to be said about the menu is that it is quite unusual. For example, they serve dishes such as goat, boar and ostrich to name a few. Every time we visit, there is a new unusual dish on the menu.
You can chose from starters, main meals, snacks and deserts. Be warned though, the portions are HUGE!! We often find it hard to eat a starter and a main meal and we have never had room for dessert after doing so.
All the meal are cooked fresh as you order them and this is reflected in the taste of the food.
When the food is brought out, it is always well presented and the staff are happy to leave out any ingredients that you are not very keen on.
Starters range from £3 - £7, Main meals range from £7 - £16 and deserts are around £4 - £6.
The Service
All the staff at The Jackdaw are very friendly and always willing to help. They are polite and very speedy when looking to take your order. Once you have ordered, it normally takes about 15 minutes for your starter to arrive, and then a further 10 minutes for your main meal to arrive. I would highly recommend The Jackdaw to anyone who enjoys their food. The pub/restaurant itself makes for a lovely traditional setting and the food really tops it off.
The Jackdaw provides exceptional value for money
