Manor Farm Barn

History and heritage meet modern magnificence at the Manor Farm Barn - a stunning place to enjoy fine food and drink in Southfleet.

Originally an 18th-century barn, it was lovingly restored in 2001, becoming Britain’s first 21st-century thatched pub and the winner of a CAMRA Pub Design Award.

The thatched roof is, quite literally, the crowning glory here - but it’s only part of the pub’s appeal. Inside, original oak timbers have been painstakingly restored, while two spacious floors, a dramatic high ceiling and swathes of natural light make the pub a truly special place to relax.

As for the food and drink on offer, it’s worthy of the sublime setting. Foodies travel for many miles to sample our delicious restaurant dishes, while beer fans can savour award-winning ales and lagers from Britain’s oldest brewer, Shepherd Neame. There’s an extensive collection of wines here too - perhaps best enjoyed outside in the sun in our spacious patio garden. 

And when you really want to raise a glass to toast a big occasion, there’s the option to hire our restaurant exclusively for your group. A special setting for a special day, there’s no finer spot in Southfleet for a ‘barnstorming’ celebration…
