Overview
The Kentish Hare is a stylish village inn that offers a real welcome to go with its modern British menu that takes excellent produce as its foundations, and demonstrates solid cooking skills that shine through. Inside, it's all chunky oak tables, fresh flowers, bare bricks, wood floors, and a hare theme scattered around in the fabrics and decor. There’s also a large terrace area out back.
