Description

Welcome to The Leicester Arms Country Inn, beautifully restored an award winning Country Inn with rooms in the heart of Penshurst, Kent. We are proudly independent, food led, and rooted in warm, genuine hospitality, the kind that feels effortless for guests and intentional behind the scenes. We are proud to be featured in the good food guide and on the Good Food Guides List of 100 best pubs.

From mornings in our breakfast room to busy weekend services, private dining in the Sidney Room, and relaxed drinks in our dog friendly bar area, every part of the inn is about thoughtful details, calm confidence, and doing the basics brilliantly. Our bedrooms are designed for comfort and quiet luxury, with the countryside right on the doorstep and a brilliant community that treats the pub as their local.
