The Haywain
What The Haywain has raised for The Pilgrims Hospices during Spring & Summer 2024
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.
