The Chaser Inn is a handsome tile-hung country pub looking over Shipbourne's village green, right beside St Giles' Church. Inside there are fires for winter, and outside a courtyard and garden for warmer days. The seasonal British menu covers pub classics, vegan dishes and steaks, and there is afternoon tea and a weekly Steak Night too. Ightham Mote and the Greensand Way are close by, so it pairs well with a countryside walk.
