Food & Drink

This picturesque country pub is popular during the winter for its two blazing log fires roaring in inglenook fireplaces.

The Griffin's Head was built as a farmhouse in 1405, during the reign of Edward I, and remained a farm until 1766 when it became fully licensed, serving travellers on the main Canterbury to Deal road.
