Nestling in the heart of the beautiful Kentish Weald-the Garden of England, the Star and Eagle Hotel is located in the village of Goudhurst. Standing over 400ft above sea level, there are outstanding views of the surrounding orchards and hop gardens for which the area is renowned.
Dating back to the 14th century, the Star and Eagle has played a significant role in the local history, and was once reputed to have been an ancient monastery. Relics of the vaulted stonework of the period are still visible in some parts of the building. During the 18th century the Inn became the headquarters of the "Hawkhurst Gang", who robbed and terrorised the surrounding district, and planned smuggling raids. Today, behind its attractive timbered gables, the Star and Eagle offers all the comfort and facilities of a 20th century hotel with the charm and atmosphere of a bygone era. Open throughout the year, the Star and Eagle is less than three miles off the main A21 road with easy access.
Frankie's Farmshop is open for indoor dining in our beautiful new restaurant, outdoors when the weather is good as well as for groceries, beautiful gifts & cards, plants & flowers.
We are a country Gastropub owned by farmers. Our farm supplies the beef, lamb and pork and we source other ingredients from local producers where we can. Our small seasonal menu changes regularly reflecting what is available in our area. We pride ourselves on being very much a country pub, offering freshly prepared seasonal food and a warm welcome. We also love offering locally produced drinks, such as gins, rums, ales and wines, giving you the complete taste of Sussex.

I have often driven by this pub/restaurant and wondered if it would be worth a look. Eventually I decided to stop and have a pint. As a result I booked a table. I researched the pub and discovered its a bunch of farmers who have got together to serve the community with produce from a local farm.
The Sunday roast is just great. It's really a great service and the whole offer is slightly elevated from anything that I can find locally. If you are bothered about where your Sunday roast comes and you fancy a little treat the white Hart has got it figured out and totally delivers.
Delicious Sunday Roast . Freshly cooked ingredients not re cooked especially the roast potatoes which usually are. Friendly service. Not ridiculously expensive and nice ambiance. Throughly recommend.
