Location: Speldhurst, a few miles west of Tunbridge Wells.
Purportedly, the George and Dragon is the second-oldest pub in the country. Whether or not is it, it is a wonderful cluster of somewhat low-ceiled modestly-sized timber-framed rooms, a cozy place for a drippy afternoon. It's the village pub, in addition to being recommended for its food, and it feels accessible with its lack of tableclothes and small scale. Small bowls of sea salt and coarsely-ground pepper showed where its food pretensions lay.
( Spring asparagus, rabbit, pork... )
Warmed by good food, good service, a comfortable environment, we went back out into a scenic village with verdant spring-touched trees, and the chilly drizzle of a rain that's settled in for the day.
