Froggies at The Timber Batts Description
Discover this authentic French restaurant set in a charming hamlet in the Ashford countryside. Chef Joel Gross has chosen Timber Batts, a fifteenth century pub built during the reign of Henry VII, to complement the cuisine and the crowds that are flocking there are ample proof that he has found the right combination. The interior stays true to the period in which the building was constructed with a beamed and timbered bar that features an inglenook fireplace the size of a small room. The restaurant has its own huge fireplace and old pine tables - some with low back settees - and candles.
The popular dishes include stuffed mussels, a classic duck confit salad, a perfect rack of lamb served with herbs and prime fillet of beef with Roquefort sauce. Puddings such as profiteroles, tarte tatin and crème brûlée fill in the chinks. The fine wine selection and the house beers provide another reason to give Froggies a warm welcome.

Your Reviews of Froggies at The Timber Batts
P Wood (3 October 2008)
We eat at Froggies quite often and the food is wonderful. The owner Joel and his front of house Marie-Therese are always very welcoming and French chef Romy produces wonderful classical dishes from France. We always take our foodie friends there from all over the world. They have all come away from Froggies saying how wonderful it is. In fact one of our visiting friend, who was off on holiday to France the following day, emailed me later to say she enjoyed the food at Froggies more than any of the restaurants she had visited in France. A couple of weeks ago we took two other friends from London for Sunday lunch to Froggies and they are real foodies. Judy said it was the best confit of duck she had ever had and Graham who is very fussy, loved his steak, which he said was the bench test of any restaurant. We feel very fortunate to have a restaurant of this quality in our area.

I have eaten at Froggies restaurant on many occasions and the food is excellent. On a Saturday we booked a table, a week ahead, for four people as a birthday celebration. On arrival, our table had been relocated to the bar, and was now situated directly next to the door. I do not expect to pay restaurant prices and eat in the bar, by the draughty door. The owner was very dismissive and unhelpful. The table was unacceptable and we left. A birthday was spoiled. We won't be going back; it is not the only restaurant in Kent who serve excellent food.
