Property details
Built in the 1500s during the reign of Henry VIII, the Bell Inn is a large, destination dining country pub and restaurant in rural Smarden, Kent. Sat just west of Ashford, at the heart of the Kent countryside, Smarden is a beautiful, historic village brimming with pretty fifteenth and sixteenth-century cottages and a medieval church. It boasts a close-knit and friendly community and is home to the ever-popular Big Cat Sanctuary.
Internally you will find a large L-shaped trade area with a feature bar servery, a cosy snug, the main bar area with an open fireplace, and a separate restaurant dining room, all hung with hops and fairy lights and filled with old oak beams, stunning furniture and flagstone floors. The trade kitchen is of a good size and it includes a preparation area, wash up area and cold store.
Outside, to the rear of the property you will find a large grassed garden with an outside bar and BBQ area and a large private customer car park.
The large tenant’s private accommodation at the Bell includes three double bedrooms, a lounge, a kitchenette, a utility room, an office, a bathroom, and a shower room.

Trading style
The Bell is a food led operation with a stronger weekend trade, it currently operates from 11am until 10pm Tuesday to Saturday and from 12noon until 6pm on Sundays. It provides its customers with a traditional menu full of home-cooked country fayre together with a stone baked pizza offer.
The Bell Inn is looking for new tenants to take over the site in late July 2025, and it has the potential to suit either a chef operator or an experienced publican, or a restaurateur who can elevate the site to the next level.
