Edenbridge, British, Traditional Restaurant Guide

A “very busy and popular pub just off the A21 outside Sevenoaks”, and occupying a characterful 16th-century building that boasts beams and wonky floors – as well as having a pleasant outdoor space for warmer months. Add in some solid seasonal gastro food (they do a slap-up Sunday lunch) and it’s “lots of fun” to visit.

“A country pub with an above-average menu” and "consistently good food” from chef-patron Lee Adams that’s generally agreed to be “a cut above the others in the area”. (The unusual name references First World War poet Siegfried Sassoon, who lived in the village.)
