A great micro pub with a twist. A great selection of well kept Ales, ciders changing all the time. A permanent lager is Cruzcampo what I was on very nice. The food is Tapas which I didn't try as I had already eaten. Spacious and great atmosphere the staff and locals give you a warm welcome. Dog friendly and on Sundays do a roast. Sarah the owner also has a Air B N B directly above the premises capable of sleeping upto 6 - 8 people. , There was 4 of us it was comfortable and spacious, low beams and sloping floors which were quirky.
I would describe The Ancient Borough as the hub of Tenterden and a great Micro pub in Kent . Give it a try you wont be disappointed.
I visited today with wife her youngest son and fiancée who is half Spanish. We had the Tapas and a couple of drinks. My stepson had Cruzcampo a nice pint of lager, I had 2 pints of the session pale not to strong , the food was excellent, we had the special cod cheeks ,prawn skewers. Pottatoe bravas, mushrooms in garlic, Black pudding & chorizo in red wine sauce. The food was excellent and the plates were cleared before we realised no photo had been taken. The food got the thumbs up from a half Spanish lass. Service was excellent and we were lucky to get a seat as it was very busy. Not to mention Camra pub of the year 2023 for Ashford, Folkestone & Romney Marsh.
Well worth a visit.

Although we have been going to Tenterden at least once a week for the past 6 years, we only walked in for lunch today. Tapas was very good and so were the specials. A lovely combination of a pub with local brews and delicious food. We will be back again.

Great beer and atmosphere. Both the owner and staff behind the bar were freindly and efficient. We didn't eat there, but tried all six beers and loved them all. Nice little gem of a place.

Very lovely authentic Spanish tapas and delish beverages. Very accommodating to our large hounds. So good, highly recommended. It is a tad pricey but worth it 👌
