Barrow House

Egerton is one of the most picturesque villages in Kent. The inn was built in 1576 and licensed in 1729. In 1780, the site was used by Lord Cornwallis for the collection of rents and during WWII by the RCAF as their local. Several pilots' signatures still survive today. During restoration, it was discovered that some of the inn's plastering was made of cow-dung and straw. The timbers are mainly from sailing ships, and some of the beams have guinea holes in them. The pub reopened in September 2016 after an extensive renovation project. Having been closed for a year, it was taken over by Dane and Sarah Allchorne - the team behind The Milk House in Sissinghurst. There are local beers, cask ales, a wide selection of wines by the glass and a range of menus with something for everyone. There is live local music every second Friday, the Egerton Folk and Blues Club meet the last Tuesday of the month
