Traditional 14th-century timber-framed pub.

This traditional, unspoilt 14th-century timber-framed building is situated in the picturesque village of Chillenden. Inside, wood beams and stone flagged floors add an atmospheric air, emphasisng the age of this Grade II listed building.

As well as the main restaurant, there's a smaller room suitable for small, intimate parties.

During the summer there are two pleasant gardens to sit in and the two inglenook fires are most welcome in the winter.

Shepherd Neame Master Brew is served at the bar, plus a seasonal ale from Sheps. There is an extensive wine list.

The menu features traditional dishes, specials and a traditional roast on Sunday. In summer, BBQs are held and in winter the emphasis is on game.

Classic car club meets the first Sunday of every month.
