The Bonny Cravat is a family-friendly pub in the village of Woodchurch, near Ashford.

It offers three cosy fireplaces, two large bars, a separate dining area, a spacious garden and a great games room for customers to enjoy.

There’s plenty that’s unique about the Bonny Cravat - not least the name. For while nobody truly knows where it comes from (some say the pub was a meeting point for smugglers who traded with Frenchmen using a boat called La Bonne Curvette), the pub’s title is a genuine one-off in Britain.

The cellar has its own unique quirks too, with an old tunnel leading to the church opposite, dating back to the time of the Reformation.
