The hotel’s own on-site restaurant is rich in old world Kentish atmosphere, with beams and hops complimented by an open log fire and a wood-burning stove to drive away those winter chills. You can enjoy Kentish Pride real ale and a fine choice of wine by the glass or by the bottle. The restaurant offers a full waiting service and is ideal for larger or smaller, more 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. The chefs pride themselves on a menu using the best locally sourced and home-grown produce to create an exciting range of mouth-watering English and continental dishes. On Sundays, a fine Sunday roast is available alongside the other menus.
