Friendly Locals Pub in Tenterden

Our beautiful, much-loved pub has been feeding & watering our locals (and housing weary travellers) for almost 500 years. We are proudly Grade II listed, with an bunch of oak beams, cosy open fires and olde-worlde charm by the absolute barrel-load. 

Classic pub dishes, some spot-on-for-sharing style nibbles dishes, seriously good Sunday roasts, and hand-stretched pizzas keep bellies full and smiles wide. Our bar is well-stocked with great beers & ales, and is often bustling with friendly locals – especially when we run our community events (Music Bingo is a firm fave)

Upstairs, a warren of higgledy-piggledy walkways and 14 comfortable bedrooms await – making us the perfect place for weekend breaks, or leisurely holidays. Small weddings or celebrations (with easy-breezy overnight stay overs) work perfectly in our pub.

Henry and his wonderful team look forward to welcoming you.
