The Fordwich Arms

A recently refurbished pub and restaurant set in Fordwich, Britain's smallest town

Boasting a lovely 1930's bar and oak panelled dining room with three open fires. Additionally, in the summer months the riverside location gives rise to a beautiful dining terrace and garden with views over the river Stour.

Chef-patron Daniel Smith was recently awarded Observer's Young Chef of the Year and his seasonal menu focuses on provenance, showcasing the best of local Kentish ingredients, sourced direct from local farms and producers. The food is delivered in a relaxed, comfortable and welcoming style, perfect for all year round and every occasion. We look forward to welcoming you soon.
