Woodcock Inn

Woodcock Lane, Iden Green, Kent TN17 4HT - Tel: 01580 240009
Not quite in the centre of Iden Green (and it's not a big centre) makes the Woodcock a little struggle to find, but well worth it. Surrounded by 'Moor Wood' with a car park on the opposite side of the lane, the Woodcock will appear to be full and that's because it is a small place with very low well worn beams. The woodcock does though, ooze quality. With fine food, excellent ales and a good wine list, you can't go wrong, even the ice bucket & spoon are made from silver. Friendly service and comfortable seating around a hop covered inglenook only add to the atmosphere.
