Christina and Kevin welcome you to
The Ringlestone Inn
And a “Truly traditional family welcome” is really what awaits you as you step back in time to the unspoilt, medieval, lamp-lit tavern. Ringlestone Hamlet is nestled off the beaten track in the North Downs, yet only five minutes drive from Leeds Castle and Junction 8 of the M20 motorway.
Steeped in History…
Built in 1533, The Ringlestone Inn was originally used as a hospice for monks, but became one of the early “ale houses” around 1615. Much of the inn has changed very little since then, with its original brick and flint walls and floors, oak beams, inglenooks and centuries-old English furniture. Even in the later addition of the Dining Room, the tables were specially made from the timbers of an 18th Century Thames barge. And the history doesn’t end there, with many colourful characters running and enjoying the hospitality at the inn over the centuries. The most famous of which were two old ladies who ran the pub in the early nineteen-sixties, and who regularly sent unwelcome visitors packing at the wrong end of a double-barrelled shotgun!
Ringlestone Wines…
We offer well kept Shepherd & Neame ales tapped from casks, as well as a good range of lagers and keg beers. We also stock a very popular range of more than thirty English country fruit wines and liqueurs. The special “take-home” prices make them ideal as presents. The Ringlestone Inn has good quality house wines and several other fine wines with a choice of popular wines from Europe and the New World, the wine list is interesting and varied.- Large, attractive garden
