Reopened on 5th November 2023 after a £150,000 revamp. The pub had sat empty since October 2020 after struggling to stay afloat through the first lockdown. Shepherd Neame put it up for sale and it was bought outright by Kim and Robert Garrett who have previously run several pubs.
It serves pizzas, traditional pub grub and a Sunday carvery.
A 16th century inn in the centre of the village with a large beer garden and the focal point of the village community. Originally built as a the gamekeeper's lodge part of the 'Manor of Hatch' it became an ale house in 1723 and was purchased by Shepherd Neame in 1893 and closed in 2020.
Built 1592 and altered and extended C18-mid C19. The left bar has a flagstone floor, a quarter circle bar counter from the 1950s (but a local says it was re-panelled in the mid 1990s), a tiny bar back fitting, possibly from the 1950s, a small fireplace in old brick wall and old dado panelling painted pink. A door leads to the small middle bar with another 1950s looking bar counter, but the bar back fitting looks modern but locals claim it too is from the 1950s. It has a 1950s brick fireplace with log fire, old dado panelling around the room and wall bench on the left all painted cream.
Doorway leads to a small room on the right with dado panelling painted on the left light blue, possibly from the 1950s, and the bar counter here of similar panels also painted light blue with a wooden top. The full height panelling painted light blue is difficult to date. Toilets are modernized. On the far left a room for diners brought into use and at the rear of the left bar is another room brought into use. Has an upstairs room originally used by the Buffaloes (RAOB).
This Pub serves 1 changing beer and 0 regular beers.
