A family-run country pub and restaurant set in the picturesque village of Denton.

This friendly and charismatic country inn featured in the 1969 film The Battle of Britain. Inside there's plenty of space for drinkers and diners and throughout the pub there's RAF memorabilia and photos of village life. In the winter months, there's a log fire to cosy up to.

On the bar, St Austell's Tribute is served alongside another national ale.

There's a large restaurant, with the Spitfire Room available for private functions. The menu features seasonal dishes, home-made from locally sourced ingredients, and afternoon teas are also available.

At the front there's a small lawned area where you can watch Denton life go by. To the rear, there's a pleasant, spacious, suntrap garden.

The pub has easy access to Canterbury and Folkestone, with a regular bus service running throughout the day and evening.
