Hodsoll Street was missed completely on the 1931 Census!
There used to be a cutting on the wall in the Green Man. I think the population at the time was 10 or something like that!
Used to be a decent boozer but many years since I've been there.0 -
The George in Trottiscliffe does decent grub and has an outside play area for the kids0

Best place is The Knoll in Higham...out of this world...once again not cheap but absolutely spot on....a dessert trolley to die for.You come out fit to burst!
Unfortunately you have to book 'at least' two or three weeks ahead and because of weddings they stop doing Sunday dinners at the end of April and start again (or so I believe) around September/October time.
This is not a pub...it's a banqueting and conference center in a huge old Victorian House set in beautiful gardens.
Look it up on the web....Higham is about 7 miles east of Gravesend, not far from Shorne Ridgeway.0 -
I had a terrible argument the last time I was in the Green Man, Hodsoll Street. I booked a table for my mother's birthday, as she lives nearby, but because it was such a nice day, everyone flocked there, meaning that our table was not really reserved. Most things were off the menu and we had to wait over 90 mins to get food. I complained at the end, saying that I had booked 2 weeks in advance, but was told "What do you expect on a nice day?". Charming. I won't be going back. Maybe, you should go there on a wet Sunday.0

Not the Charlton Life badges?:-)0 -
My sister likes it there and I have been meaning to try it. whats with these pubs that stop food at 2.30 on sundays? i hate that i want to eat about 4ish.
We ate at the Snail at Stone Street (Seal, Sevenoaks) - mainly a fish restaurant but does good sunday lunch but pricey also.
Then stopped for a beer at the Bucks Head in Godden Green which is in a beautiful setting and doesnt get much better than that. Not eaten there but might try fathers day.
Kent in places is really stunning.0 -
Len, like the "Takeover" I can't say !0

There aren't many places that actually do a decent roast now. And like The Green Man you have to book or you are fooked.
The amount of times Ive turned up at 230-3pm and the restaurant is shut you wouldnt believe.
My Fave, The Black Lion in Southfleet apparently got burnt down by some local yoof. Magic eh. . . .
In winter we sometimes go to the carvery at The Lord Kitchener in Welling, but end up bumping into a load of old pals that I could do without bumping into!
Hodsoll Street is lovely, but a really odd place. One pub for about 20 houses. . . . bit spooky.
Bartellas in Meopham is great but doubt it does a roast dinner!
You can tell I havent had lunch today. . . . .0 -

I use The Bucks Head quite often, especially after a nice gentle walk in Knole Park...smashing pub.
The snail is also a great spot....though I've not been there for while.0 -

Yes it does Len - My parents live down that way and we normally go to the Swan followed by the Chaser inn in Shipborne which I can highly recommend for some very good grub at what seemed like good prices - at least when I was last there.0 -
