The Spotted Dog, Penshurst

The Spotted Dog, Penshurst 16th Century Country Pub and Smokehouse. Dog friendly, people friendly, one of the best views in Kent with a warm welcome and a seriously proud history.
(414)

What you get at The Spotted Dog, Penshurst, is an independently run lovely old rambling 15th century white clapboard building (which started life as several cottages), paneling, low beams and three open fires. It is warm and welcoming in winter but equally enticing in summer. The pub is positioned in beautiful countryside with tiered beer gardens at the front and back, the latter affording an outs

tanding view. This is a family-friendly pub where the older generation, children, tourists, walkers and dogs are all welcome in the bar only. The food is mostly traditional English with some gourmet specials and fish dishes with fresh fish delivered daily. Consequently, the specials board changes daily. Being a free house there are always four different beers available, normally a Larkins, Harveys and two guest beers. The wine list is extensive and includes wine by the glass

Thanks everyone for today. Not an empty seat in the house. Terrace packed with people digging into our smokehouse roasts, meat platters and clam bakes. It’s truly fantastic to see the place buzzing with life. (Not practically empty as previously mentioned!) see you all again next week.

Our new menu is inspired by Low and slow smoking but still has much of what you need with salads sandwiches. As we gasp through this hot summer we're already thinking about the winter menu so watch this space.
