Drinks & Nightlife

The Lord Raglan is situated in the scenic Kent countryside, 2 miles from Staplehurst. Inside you’ll find a cosy bar framed by local Kentish hops. There are two open fireplaces and one log burner, which in the winter months are home to three roaring log fires. In the summer customers can also enjoy their food outside, sitting on picnic benches under one of the many apple trees in the garden, or step out of the French windows and onto the patio. So whatever the weather, come and enjoy some fantastic food and drink at this lovely little country pub.
