Welcome To the Gatekeeper InnThe Gatekeeper is a traditional English pub offering a warm welcome and a cosy atmosphere, complemented by hand-selected beers and thoughtfully crafted, delicious food.We are a family-owned and run free house, proudly located in the beautiful village of Etchinghill, and we see ourselves as a true community hub. Our aim is simple: everyone who walks through our doors should feel part of the family.The building itself has a rich history. Originally constructed in 1595, during the 37th year of Queen Elizabeth I’s reign, it began life as two separate farm dwellings. Around the turn of the 18th century, it first started serving beer. Since then, the pub has changed hands and evolved over time—extended, altered, and restored—while always preserving its historic character and charm.
Soak up our friendly service and homely charm when nestled in this welcoming pub located in the heart of Ashford village. Here at The New Chimneys, we are the perfect retreat to sit back, relax and indulge in our delicious food with the perfect drink in hand.
Our traditional pub classics are expertly crafted from our seasonal menus and the bar is crammed with local ales and tipples to tempt any taste buds. Using the most seasonal ingredients and decadent flavours, there's a dish for every desire.

After closing for 2 weeks for an interior refurb the pub now has a fresh and clean new look. The creation of a proper snug is part of the change and is available for private hire for small gatherings or family occasions. The rear barn has also undergone refurbishment and is now a wonderful room dating back to the 15th Century with oak beams and flagstone floor folding doors open out on to the rear courtyard and river Stour beyond. The barn forms part of the restaurant but can also be made available for small functions and parties of up to 20 - 25 people.
Hebben hier voor oud en nieuw gegeten. Er was wat miscommunicatie omtrent diner en live muziek, maar we hebben lekker gegeten en een leuke avond gehad. Er is een gezellige sfeer, volop keuze uit diverse drank en vriendelijke mensen
