THE LANTERN INN, KENT

Back when we only had Blue, we would spend our weekends in country pubs with fires eating roast dinners and taking long walks.

I woke up this Sunday with the longing to do that again.

We called around some of our favourites to see if they had room for a table of four.

The Lantern is a real British pub located in the Kentish countryside.

Through the doors and behind a heavy velvet curtain sits a warm and cosy inn, perfect for a Sunday roast.

Or some of the best pub food you can find

We had the option of two tables and snapped up the one that was hidden away in its own private room.

Log burning fires, wooden floors, rustic tables and candlelight

The atmosphere is perfect for a Sunday

Whilst we picked from the menu, Pollyanna shared her raisins with Daddy

I went for local reared local pork

The crispest potatoes, I recommend ordering extra

Adam chose, Kentish Beef

Both were swimming in gravy which is just how we like it

And Pollyanna shared off the both of us

The staff saw me snapping away and offered to take a photo of us all, which funny enough is quite rare

Blue was delighted with his servings too

When things at the table get a bit crazy, they have a bookcase full of games and books

If you’re there without kids, think monopoly by the fireplace.

Its the second time we’ve been and it never lets us down.

Next time I will try to get more photos of the whole bar, but it was a little too busy.
