This 16th century inn set in the heart of the Kentish weald just oozes character and history, with its wealth of exposed beams and a magnificent orangery overlooking the private garden. A traditional lynch gate and a herb garden just add to its charm.

The mediterranean-style stone terrace is the ideal place to enjoy summer evenings.

Our menu is made up of traditional English cuisine, regional French brasserie-style cuisine created by our chef as well as local seasonal game.

You can also choose from a fine selection of ales and wine.

Nice atmosphere, cosy pub. Pizza seemed to take long time & disappointed had missed off the pine nuts, but happily gave us some in a dish to sprinkle on, but it was quite bland, being goats cheese & beetroot, but really missed the tomato base. Lovely deserts but as most places, a little over priced. Pretty little garden to sit in weather permitting. Not really a place I would take children.
