A family-run country pub and restaurant set in the picturesque village of Denton.

Summer Pub of the Season 2023.
This friendly and charismatic country inn featured in the 1969 film The Battle of Britain. Inside there's plenty of space for drinkers and diners and throughout the pub there's RAF memorabilia and photos of village life. In the winter months, there's a log fire to cosy up to.

On the bar, St Austell's Tribute is partnered with another quality national ale.

At the back, there's a large restaurant, and the Spitfire Room which is available for private functions. Food is served all day, with a restricted menu between 3-6. The menu features seasonal dishes, home-made from locally sourced ingredients, and afternoon teas are also available.

At the front there's a small lawned area where you can watch Denton life go by. To the rear, there's a pleasant, spacious, suntrap garden.

It is situated on the A260, with easy access from Canterbury and Folkestone. Getting to and from the pub by public transport is a cinch with a regular bus service running throughout the day and evening.

Although the pub is not fully disabled access, you can get to the restaurant and toilets by a foldaway ramp, and one of the toilets is large enough to accommodate a wheelchair.
