Great country pub. Really nice classic pub feel inside and super friendly staff. Great outside seating area and the food is brilliant too. If you’re in the area it’s well worth stopping by.

The Farrier Arms provided a delightful experience that exceeded all our expectations. A quick call to confirm they were open and dog-friendly turned out to be a fortuitous decision for our evening plans.

Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly and immediately felt at home. The Hobgoblin ale and a fine selection of wine were just what we had been waiting for, perfectly complementing the relaxed atmosphere of this charming pub. The addition of two cups of peanuts made for a perfect snack.

Sitting in the garden with our three dogs was a serene and enjoyable experience. The garden itself was beautifully maintained, offering a peaceful and welcoming environment for both us and our furry companions.

The Farrier Arms is an absolute gem, and it provided the perfect setting for a cosy drink before settling in for the night in our VW campervan. We highly recommend this pub for anyone looking for a friendly, dog-welcoming spot with excellent drinks and a lovely garden to unwind in.

Have been visiting the pub for many years but never reviewed it. A great place to stop for a drink (they brew their own beers), for a quick grab or for a nice meal in their pub area or restaurant area. Their menu changes regularly (while they have a core pub menu), with special tasting events (dishes paired with wines). The field at the back of the pub is perfect for the kids to play football. Overall, one of my favourite places in the area.

What a friendly pub, greeted and treated like special guests. Food was delicious, short rib was the best ever eaten. We can't recommend highly enough. And the bonus was being able to park our motorhome overnight, and discovering this is community run, well done community! We'll be back

Set in the Kent countryside, in an idyllic farming village, the beer garden has green views and a picture book river with fish and two crossing footbridges into a paddock style area. Tables are laid out spaciously and there were shaded areas and under cover parts of the patio.
Inside the restaurant is decorated to a high standard, with comfortable dining seats and tables dressed with a small from the garden style flower bouquet.
There are a few traditional dried hops overhead in one or two places to remind you that you are in the garden of Kent, the once hop centre of the UK. The building is of some age with some low beams, cielings and frames in places. The bar is well stocked with a great variety of beers, lagers and wines, some of which are locally produced. The pub supports the local vineyards and it has a good community feel.
The food was exceptional. Really exceptional. Classic food cooked in a way that makes me wish I could eat there every night. Initially put off by the lack of vegetarian options, but found something that worked for my 12 year old and all was good, in fact it was better than good, both children happily cleared their plates and rated the food 10/10. The food was sourced locally. It was full of flavour. Presented appetisingly with space on the plate. It was seasoned well. There wasn't a single issue with the food apart from it being so good that we didn't have room for the mouthwateringly tempting desserts. The customer service was fantastic. It really was a joy to dine there.
