Food scene
With a story that starts almost 700 years ago, The Artichoke pub in Chartham isn’t short on character. It’s everything you’d expect from such a historic building - with old oak beams, cosy corners and exposed brickwork providing the backdrop to your experience.
There’s a garden area too, perfect for a pint or two in the sun after enjoying the Chartham circular walk.
