The good pub guide review
It's no surprise our readers love the inventive menus and excellent food at this bustling and easy-going pub: licensee Ben James describes himself as a 'passionate, eccentric foodie' ' and framed magazine and newspaper articles by him about foraging and field-to-fork cookery adorn the walls. There's striking dragon-inspired wallpaper made especially for the pub, as well as antique tables and chairs on wide oak floorboards and a leather sofa facing the hearty fire. Upstairs is a sizeable timbered dining room with similar furnishings, and a cosy room that's just right for a private party. You'll find the pub's own George's Marvellous Medicine from Westerham and one or two guest ales on handpump, alongside 16 wines by the glass, a good rage of whiskies and cocktails ' many people visit just for the espresso martinis. You can eat upstairs, downstairs or in the herb garden, and several seating areas outside have good quality tables and chairs under parasols.
