The Goudhurst Inn will reopen after being completely refurbished by owners Staplehurst vineyard Hush Heath Estate.

A pub which has been taken on by a nearby vineyard will reopen after a complete refit next month.

The Goudhurst Inn, which was taken on by Hush Heath Estate in Staplehurst, will reopen on Saturday, April 25, after closing for the work to be carried out in January.

Estate managers plan to create a traditional pub and inn with more casual dining and drinking in the new extended bar area.

There will also be more formal dining areas which can be used for private functions.

The free-house will serve wines, ciders, ales, craft beers and spirit, and the food will be locally sourced and seasonal.

Upstairs there will be four boutique hotel rooms, each one individually designed with wifi and en-suites.

The pub itself will serve breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as bar snacks and afternoon tea.

Outside will be The Pizza & BBQ Shack, which will launch this summer, and serve freshly made pizza and barbecue dishes that can be enjoyed in the garden or to take away.

The gardens have been re-landscaped, and a bespoke children’s play area is being built.

The pub was taken over by estate owners Richard and Leslie Balfour-Lynn in 2013 as part of their project to set up a group of boutique hotels and pubs across London and Kent with high standards of design, service, and food, while also showcasing Hush Heath Estate wines and ciders.
