We know who we are. We have known since The Hooden was built as a Coach House in 1648.
We believe in great service, quality food and good drink in a friendly environment.
We don’t confuse ourselves with pubs that attempt to be Michelin star restaurants.

So what makes us great you ask?

WE LIKE OUR DRINK
The beer we serve includes locally brewed, to traditional standards like London Pride or Doom Bar. We love local spirits but also stock the old favorites.

OUR FOOD IS FANTASTIC
Serving all types of delicious meals. As our name states, we love the flavour and melting texture of slow smoked meat. We liked it so much that we imported a smoker from the USA! We also cater to vegetarians, children’s appetites and fabulous deserts!

WE HAVE AN AWARD WINNING GARDENWe have always known how fantastic our garden is but did you know that we have been awarded the Star Pub Awards for the Best Outdoor Pub/Garden!! The best space in all of England people! Come on down!

Pizza oven, outdoor bar; our garden is like Doctor Who’s Tardis as it’s sheer size will surprise you. Two enclosed children’s play areas, quiet areas for adults…the perfect place for everyone to enjoy the sunshine. Fabulous!

We are proud of our customers and heritage. We have worked hard to be where we are and we hope you join us to help mold our future.

Not to small that your left wanting more or too big it looks overwhelming. Food is fantastic and the staff are really friendly and helpful. Would deffinetly eat here again.

Lovely little gem. Nice snug cosy pub and a massive garden with play area for older kids with a handy separate play area for the smaller ones to enjoy. Food is awesome and staff are friendly, can honestly say we've always enjoyed our time there..

Unfortunately the food portions are a bit small. I ordered a jacket potato that had a list of bits and bobs on but it arrived and it was tiny and very sparsely topped. My other half ordered chips with his food and literally 12 chips arrived on his plate (including the small ones!) The play area is good for the kids and its a nice place for a summer drink in the garden but this is the second time the food has let it down in our opinion so wouldn't bother eating here again.

Absolutely cracking food, staff are friendly, attentive, and just brilliant. Drinks are lovely. The atmosphere is unbeatable. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great spot in ashford. The pub itself is beautiful, with a really nice fire heater in the centre keeping it nice and toasty. Couldn't ask for a better place to have spent our time and we will definitely be coming back! Thank you for an unforgettable experience!
