Our pub is currently undergoing a small makeover to make your next visit even better. We are temporarily closed while we freshen things up and appreciate your patience and support during this time. We look forward to welcoming you back soon to enjoy our refreshed surroundings.
Built in the 1500s during the reign of Henry VIII, the Bell in Smarden is a popular dining destination on the outskirts of the historic village of Smarden, promising food and drink fit for a King - with freshly prepared dishes served up alongside local ales and lagers from Faversham’s Shepherd Neame.
It’s a charming and traditional country village pub, picture perfect both inside and out. Tumbling hanging baskets and a Kentish peg-tiled roof greet your arrival, while there are three separate cosy bar areas comprising oak beams and flagstone floors waiting just across the threshold.
There’s a large garden - the perfect place to enjoy an alfresco ale or two in the summer. There's also an outside champagne bar which is available for private hire.
