In the charming village of Bridge, within the Nailbourne Valley, lies this 16th-century pub with low beams, open fires and plenty of character. The highly skilled cooking is available in a range of forms – from snacks like buttermilk fried chicken to dishes cooked over charcoal in the Josper oven – and often highlights prime seasonal produce cooked with exacting detail and consummate seasoning. The Kentish apple tart is a great example of what they do, showing off local produce and the kitchen's strong pastry techniques. They have a period cottage nearby for those looking to stay the night.
