Sissinghurst is such a beautiful part of Kent that any pub located there
would have its fair share of visitors. But the fact that The Milk House
is traditional, comforting and a real hub of the local community makes
it all that much more special. This building was once a 16th-century
Tudor hall and the owners don’t want that fact hidden – there are
gorgeous wooden beams that exude history and a large open fireplace
that one can’t help but want to sit by when it is roaring away during
the winter. Local wines are a big feature of the menu and there is a
wide range of food to choose from including items from a grazing
menu if you only want something light to nibble on. There are many good things to say about the Botolphs Bridge Inn –
the food is excellent and the décor is traditional and welcoming. The
atmosphere is also just what you want when you are looking for a
peaceful pint or glass of wine, or of course some quality cask ale, which
is something the pub is renowned for. However, one of the most lovely
things about this unique place is the fire – it really is a beauty, and it
is where you can spend many a comfortable hour warming yourself
and feeling at peace with the world.
