Classically trained James Pipes has just joined the team and our new menu is now available. Born in about 1552, this charming and traditional Old English Pub is hidden away in the Kentish countryside, between Sevenoaks and Tonbridge. The low, oak beamed ceilings and open fireplaces set the scene for a cosy visit during the winter months.
Our food is homemade, freshly prepared on the premises with produce from local butchers and suppliers. The majority of our ales are from local brewers. Whether visiting for a drink in the Rifle Bar, or to dine in our restaurant, or perhaps a special occasion, our friendly staff look forward to welcoming you!

Report
We are an easy car drive from the towns of Tonbridge, Sevenoaks, Borough Green and 15-20 minutes from the M20 and M25. Take the A25 through the village of Seal towards Ightham and Borough Green. On a left-hand bend in the road take a right turn onto Coach Road and carry on to the village of Ivy Hatch bearing right on Mote Road and then into High Cross Road signposted to Plaxtol.
Restaurant
Report
Our restaurant provides diners with that classic traditional pub feeling, with a modern touch. We take pride in serving the pub classics with a contemporary twist, but our menu also offers some less familiar la carte dishes freshly crafted on the premises. From time to time and of course with the seasons, we change the items on our menu to give diners the best experience from produce available at this time of year.

A cosy and intimate setting by our fire; a relaxed and friendly atmosphere greets guests in the Rifle Bar. The bar boasts low ceilings with original oak beams, a snug and stocked fireplace and plenty of space to settle in for a drink.
We normally run 4 real ales, Harveys from East Sussex, the other 3 being different brews from the local Tonbridge, Westerham and Whitstable breweries; the draught cider is produced in Biddenden and our Curious Brew lager from Tenterden, all Kent.Only the second lager, plus Guinness hail from farther field.
