Our restaurant is rich in old world Kentish atmosphere with beams and hops complimented by an open log fire and wood burning stove to drive away those winter chills. You may enjoy Kentish Pride real Ale and fine choice of wine by the glass or bottle. We offer full waiting service and we are ideal for larger or smaller intimate parties.

Alfresco dining on the patio is very popular on sunny days and warm evenings when you can see the peaceful surroundings of the countryside. Our chefs pride themselves on a menu using the best local and homegrown produce to give you an exciting range of mouth-watering English and Continental dishes. On Sundays, a fine Sunday roast is prepared alongside our other menus.
