Sell out at our Annual Beer Festival 18-21 May 2023

 

Our Annual Beer Festival over 4 days was a roaring success. By Sunday afternoon there were a lot of empty barrels out of the 32 Craft Ales and Ciders that were drunk, compared and chatted over!

It was held in our marquee in our Beer Garden and there was a lot live music, food and fun also.

Can’t wait until next year!

Real Ales, Home Cooked Food & Accommodation

Built around 1790’s, The Haywain is situated in the heart of the picturesque East Kent countryside, on the A257 between Littlebourne & Wingham, with a conveniently located bus stop on the main Canterbury to Sandwich & Deal bus routes.

We have a large beer garden where we regularly stage events and there is plenty of off-road parking.

Our home cooked food has been recognised by awards from The Taste of Kent.

We offer traditional pub classics as well as daily specials and snacks and our meat and vegetables are locally sourced – including eggs from our own chickens.

We are well known for our real ales and were recently recognised with a CAMRA silver award for Canterbury pub of the year 2020 and we use local breweries and guest beers from around the country.
