FOOD+DRINK THE Ultimate KENT Pub Crawl cont. 18. The George & Dragon , Chipstead 20. Foresters Arms , Tonbridge Brought back to life in 2009 by current owner Benjamin James, The George and Dragon offers a daily changing menu using the best local produce. The meat is free range or organic and the vegetables are sourced from local farms, and dishes include celeriac and truffle oil risotto, roasted lamb rump with spring greens and bashed carrots, and pork and chorizo burger with applewood smoked cheese. This is gastropub dining at its finest. Pizza and beer…such a brilliant combination. And if you want some of the best, you have to check out the Foresters Arms in Tonbridge, where you’ll find a great selection of cask ales and lagers from Shepherd Neame, plus some seriously good pizza, such as the Ortolana (red peppers, eggplant, courgette, tomato and mozzarella) or the Fresca (rocket, cheeky tomatoes, parmesan, tomato and mozzarella).
