Yesterday, I did my first walk from Leigh to Tunbridge Wells and the suggested lunch stop was an excellent and rather fitting choice - The Spotted Dog! In fact, my canine rambling companion - a species who perfectly fits the characteristics of this pub - received an especially warm welcome by the proprietress herself. The Spotted Dog is the picture-perfect English pub...dark and cozy on the inside (with several working fire-places for the cold and wet winters) and bright and airy on the outside (featuring two wonderful terraces, one of which offers marvellous views of the Kentish country side). The staff at this family-run place is wonderful and very friendly - they not only helped me choose an excellent thirst quencher (an ale called Directors), but they also refreshed the water bowl for Momo with fresh spring water (alright, it was tap water...). I ordered the burger for lunch, which came with fries - pardon me - chips. The chips, to be honest, were not my favourite as they were a little too crispy, but the burger was excellent. All in all, the combination of this burger, the beer and the wonderful views from the terrace made my stay at the Spotted Dog a very memorable one...and equipped me well for the remaining 7 miles that were still ahead of me!

The food is fantastic. Last night I had the Beef and Stilton Pie and I can honestly say it's one of the best pies I've ever tasted - and there has been a few! I'm not a huge fan of Stilton but it's subtle enough to taste but not overpower the meat and they throw in a little cheddar to simmer it down. Both the landlady and chef are very friendly and welcoming - just what you want from a country pub.

Getting in a little late to go to London, we turned our attention to something close to the Gatwick airport. After finally sorting our Uber rides, we were off to The Farmhouse. First impressions were of a traditional British pub experience, which was a good start. Our clumsiness of grabbing a table and figuring out whether we needed to go to the bar to order or wait to be served, surely gave us away as "not locals." Our server was friendly and provided us with our menus and took our drinks order. The one shortfall was that the menu had a number of items not available and with an assist from a customer, two of us needed a rethink on their meal. In all, it was 4 Fish & Chips, One Farmhouse Burger, and a Battered Halloumi burger, plus an order of calamari, and 4 tomato and garlic soups. There were zero plates taken off the table that were not empty! I had the Halloumi burger, which had a great, crispy batter topped with some guacamole mayo with a red sauce on the side. Really good. Then we doubled down and hit the dessert menu! Two warm chocolate brownies with salted caramel ice cream and four plum tarts. We asked for some custard on the side because who doesn't like custard?! Save for the debate about whether it was more a pie than a tart, another set of empty plates were the only evidence left. Would definitely recommend The Farmhouse!

This is a rather traditional 13th century English inn and provides great pub grub, along with some local bitters and good wines. My appetizer was a crispy cod and parsley fishcake with a poached egg, pea puree and tomato coulis, that was quite delectable. The beef pie, a specialty pie for the day, was served with ample mashed potatoes and nicely cooked autumn vegetables (with lots of my favorite - broccoli). Mouth watering flavors, to be sure. And, quite filling. It was topped off with a warm chocolate brownie with chocolate sauce, raspberries and raspberry sorbet. Outstanding.

Last Saturday they were offering Best, Old Ale, Hadlow Ale, that bonfire one and more I can't remember. The Harvey's rep must love 'em!!!! Original, rarely seen local beers in a friendly environment and a pretty Grade II listed building to boot. You could see the landlord & landlady cared about what they did & I was mightily impressed. Looking forward to trying their food too!
