Cosy countryside pub with great beer. Gravity fed real ale disguised behind wall decor disguised as barrels.

We met up with some local friends here for a Sunday Roast while we’re over from Australia.
The team here are absolutely amazing! They really made us all feel welcomed.

The food was to die for, I love that the trimmings are all served share style. But the meat and Yorkshire pudding was on your own plate.
Very flavoursome, great serving size. I’ll be visiting again before I leave to go home!

Highly recommended!

Lovely family run, cosy ‘proper’ pub. Good selection of bitters, lagers, wine and everything in between. Lindsay and Simon have done a fantastic job bringing the pub back from the dead and turning it into a roaring success. Photo is a sample of the menu in February.

Was staying in an Airbnb and had a little walk around then drove to The Dovecote Inn.

From the outside, it looks super cosy and a bit of a hidden gem which it exactly was just that!

Nice warm welcome, plenty of drinks to choose from and loved the feel and style inside. I came here for lunch and if I'm around the area I will most certainly be coming in or at least a recommendation to others who I know will appreciate this!

Easy to park, lots of spaces at the back, can imagine in the summer it is a nice place to sit outside. Reckon evenings at the weekends would be nice also!

Solid A*****

Easily one of my favourite unfussy but oh so lovely pubs, pity it is so far from where I live. Still it was worth the 8km walk from Tonbridge. Simon and his wife seem to know all the locals and are warm and welcoming.
Plenty of ales on tap, a few ciders too ALL straight from the barrels behind the bar (gravity fed).
When it comes to the food, those smells from the kitchen are authentic and perhaps the most wondrous gravy in the world, I kid you not, if I could I'd order a bowl of the stuff with a chunk of bread.
