Cask Ale

This charming pub is set in the picturesque village of Smarden. With a roaring log fire in the winter and a patio garden to the front for those warmer days. . The Flying Horse is said to be named 'flyer' after the now defunct race course opposite which closed in 1863. It is set just in front of St. Michael's church of the Archangel, which is 800 years old and nicknamed the barn of Kent, because of its unusually broad scissor-beamed roof, unsupported by pillars.

Information for this venue is provided by the Ashford Folkestone & Romney Marsh Branch of CAMRA
