WELCOME TO

THE DIRTY HABIT

WELCOME TO

THE DIRTY HABIT

Step into an 11th century monk's ale and cider house on the Pilgrim's Way in Hollingbourne.

Historically an Inn used by Pilgrim’s on their way to Canterbury, The Dirty habit now welcomes all to enjoy a quintessentially english country pub, restaurant and private dining room.

Lovingly restored to its former glory!

☀️ Sunshine + a cold beer = the perfect weekend. 🍺 ☀️ Sunshine + a cold beer = the perfect weekend. 🍺

It's Beer O'Clock... and our pub gardens are calling!

Whether you're catching up with friends, enjoying a leisurely lunch, or simply making the most of the sunshine, why not treat yourself to an ice-cold Monte Carlo Beer? Inspired by the Monaco Riviera, it's a crisp, refreshing premium lager that's made for sunny afternoons.

Grab a seat, soak up the rays, and raise a glass to the weekend. 🍻

See you in the garden!
