Dating back to the 16th century and altered late 18th century it has a rendered facade and red painted tile hanging on the first floor. The interior is of three small rooms and is little changed in the past 40 years. The Grasshopper Inn takes its name from the grasshopper incorporated in the crest of the Gresham family who owned the Manor of Westerham from the time of Henry VIII till the late C17. The small left room has a counter which could date from the 1950s, the bar back with its leaded glass panels is difficult to date and there is a hatch to the back of the bar in the right hand room created from an old doorway.

The front right small room has a counter which could also date from the 1950s which was reduced in size in the early 1990s - originally it covered the hatch between the front two bars. The bar back shelves could be 50s with leaded mirrored panels and some dado panelling could be old. At the rear the lower bar back shelves and the bar counter could again date from the 50s, possibly 60s and a large stone fireplace could date from c.1960 as could the fixed seating. Facing the front in the right hand bar high up over an old doorway is a very old bar back type shelf and very old windows behind it. Looks like changes in the 1950/60s from an old interior to the three small rooms we see now. Restaurant on the first floor.
