This charming pub is the centre of the local community. Previously called the Bell, it gained its current name when the other pub in the village, the John Jorrocks, closed in 1969. The pub sign celebrates both antecedents. Originally a coaching inn dating from the early 18th century, its stables house a mid-April beer festival. A good base for circular walks in the picturesque Low Weald. Excellent food is served and a pizza van calls on Sunday evenings. CAMRA branch Pub of the Year 2018.

Information for this venue is provided by the Maidstone & Mid Kent Branch of CAMRA
