The Bell has recently become available - could you be the one to bring this historic pub back to life?

Dating back to the 1500s, during the reign of Henry VIII, The Bell occupies a wonderful position on the outskirts of the picturesque village of Smarden. With its rich history, character and established place in the local community, this is a pub full of potential.

Imagine serving freshly prepared food alongside local ales and lagers from Faversham’s Shepherd Neame, creating a welcoming destination for locals and visitors alike, and putting your own stamp on a pub that has been part of village life for centuries.
