Directions

You want to visit - You have this in

A former 17th-century coaching inn on the old road to Hastings has been tastefully decorated to emphasise original oak beams. It lies in Loose Valley by the side of a trout stream in the shadow of a Thomas Telford viaduct. Traditional home cooked food is served including vegetarian options. Live music is played regularly and an annual duck race features on the river on Spring bank holiday. Morris dancers feature every Boxing Day. Special birthday food/birthday party deals.

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