The Camden Arms Hotel

At over 200 years old, The Camden Arms Hotel, with its charming rustic style, is considered a true bastion of the community. Ever since James and Carol Cunningham took over the reigns in 2003, the restaurant has come along in leaps and bounds.

Flawlessly executed dishes served in relaxed surroundings are top of the agenda, so guests are in for a real treat. The chefs take full advantage of home-grown Kentish ingredients to create seasonally influenced, daily changing menus which are jam-packed with classic and contemporary choices, including those suitable for vegetarians.

Forget the diet for a blissful moment and perhaps indulge in locally sourced chicken stuffed with apricots, Gruyère cheese and tossed vegetables, or pan-fried sea bass - fresh from the South Coast - with fresh ginger, noodles and soy sauce. Of course, you're more than welcome to stay on in the en-suite accommodation after your meal, and explore beautiful Pembury village.

With extensive knowledge of cellarkeeping, James has turned The Camden Arms Hotel into one of the area's most popular watering holes, with a great selection of lager, wine, draught and bottled beer, cider and perry.

If you're looking to host a business meeting or conference, the hotel facilities and function room will more than adequately accommodate you, and the gorgeous floral garden and terrace are ideal for private events and hog roasts.
