Sir John Falstaff Public House

The Sir John Falstaff Public House is a pub in Higham, in the borough of Gravesham, Kent, England. It takes its name from Sir John Falstaff, the comic knight who appears in several of William Shakespeare's plays, and its own signage and website note that it was "Named by William Shakespeare, favoured by Charles Dickens, enjoyed by many - open to all." The pub presents itself as a traditional, welcoming local open to all comers, and it operates a website at sirjohnfalstaff.co.uk. Its location in Higham places it in a village setting within north-west Kent, an area with strong literary associations, including nearby Gad's Hill Place, the home of Charles Dickens. As a public house, its core offering is drinks — cask ales, beers, wines and spirits — together with pub food and a social, community-oriented atmosphere. The available evidence identifies it as a pub in Higham, Gravesham, Kent, England, UK, but does not disclose its founding date, ownership, or corporate parent. It is therefore best understood as an independent or locally operated licensed premises rather than a large branded chain, and it should not be confused with the Shakespearean character or with other businesses that use the Falstaff name.
