Leased from Shepherd Neame. Closed on March 5th 2023. The pub had won food and drink awards under the previous managers - it was Daily Telegraph Gastropub national joint runner up for 2019.

Re-opened September 2023 by the previous operators of the Timber Batts in Bodsham. Lovely 16th century inn located in an area of outstanding natural beauty on Crundale Downs. Oak beams, hanging hops and large fireplaces with wood-burners add to the atmosphere. The large garden is popular in the summer.

The eclectic, nay quirky, furnishings and exhibits formerly in the Timber Batts at Bodsham have moved here as a feast for the eyes and possible later nightmares! Food hours are not given on website or Facebook so may not be the same as the opening hours; check before travelling.
