The White Hart offers guests a truly outstanding dining experience. This elegant pub and eating house located in Brasted, Westerham is an ideal place to relax with your favourite drink or for the enjoyment of an elaborate and intimate meal with family and friends.

Backed by service that is cheerful, brisk and totally in keeping with the friendly nature of a good English gastropub this charming pub has a warm and inviting bar and a spacious dining room where you'll find plenty of regulars dropping in. A log fire in the handsome exposed brick inglenook in winter, brown leather chairs accompanied by sturdy wooden tables well matched with the quarry-tiled floor, and an oak beamed ceiling with subdued lighting is the sort of interior you can expect at The White Hart.

The atmosphere is one of joviality and when the sun is out, there are few things better than an al fresco meal; a deck area and the garden overlooking the woods set with comfortable chairs and a bench, easily seating around 200 diners at once, provides a spacious setting.

The menu changes with the seasons and is modern British, comfortably interwoven with some Mediterranean influences. It ranges from traditional favourites such as fish and chips and steaks to freshly made pizzas and pastas with the chef's daily specials displaying the finest fresh market ingredients. There's something for everyone and for all occasions and you don't have to go for the full works if you don't want to; just have a snack and a lingering drink in the bar with your friends.

To set the right note of fashionable sociability there are sharing plates; share a metre board of mixed pizzas, Greek mezze with taramasalata, red pepper hummus, tzatziki, feta and flatbread, or Italian antipasti with cured meats, dolcelatte, roasted vegetables, parmesan, rocket, stuffed peppers, curly green chillies and warm stone baked bread.

Specialities here include dishes such as vodka cured salmon, beetroot and horseradish crème fraiche, and nut crusted goat's cheese crostini, butternut squash, red onion, tomato and red pepper dressing. Sea bass fillets, artichoke, olives, pepper, courgette, chorizo, tomato and rosemary potatoes, and quattro formaggi with mozzarella, dolcelatte, parmesan, goats cheese and red onion marmalade are sure to please many a palate. Stone baked pizza with Serrano ham, roast artichoke, olives and mozzarella, or classic burger with gherkin, mustard mayo, cheese, relish and frites await the adventurous palates, among many other dishes on the extensive and eclectic menu.

An apple and frangipane gallette with cognac ice cream, summer pudding with clotted cream, and vanilla pod cheesecake and blackcurrant compote are some of the crowd pullers among their pudding section.

The wine list offers everything from crisp refreshing whites, trendy pinks to fat juicy reds by the bottle or glass. The bar stocks a wide range of cask ales, super chilled draught and bottled beers.

Modernity and contemporary attitudes towards life maybe fine, but there are few things which can replace tradition and The George and Dragon is one of those pubs which is as traditional as they can get - in Kent at least. This historic coaching inn located in the Market Square at Westerham is a warm and welcoming place with its open log fire and plush sofas while the restaurant area with the wooden furniture and its lovely burnished sheen is just perfect if your want to drop by for lunch or dinner. The terrace garden is another delightful dining option, particularly on days when the weather doesn't play spoilsport.

The seasonal menu features home cooked dishes such as starters of Scottish smoked salmon, followed by a perfectly grilled gammon steak served with fries, pineapple, tomato and mushroom, topped with a fried egg. They also have old favourites such as bangers and mash alongside burgers and pies and their dessert selection is enticing to say the least.

Unpretentious and relaxed, The Bakery restaurant offers fixed price modern seasonally changing British and European menus which feature fresh local produce. Set in a former bakery, it is located in the centre of Tatsfield village, just off the B2024 Westerham to Croydon Road. A warm welcome awaits guests.

If stepping in for lunch or dinner, enjoy dishes such as crisp confit of duck leg with a red onion marmalade, lobster and basil ravioli with a white wine sauce, pan fried fillet of hake with steamed mussels and pan fried pork fillet with roasted rhubarb and an orange sauce. Vegetarians can look forward to dining on chef's homemade carrot and coriander soup, gilled goat's cheese with a roasted red pepper salad and roasted butternut squash with Mediterranean vegetable risotto. Desserts of steamed blueberry pudding and homemade meringues bring the meal to a fitting end. A varied and carefully chosen wine list complements the meal with selections from all over the world, emphasising those from more traditional wine producing regions.
