The Three Tuns Inn

The Three Tuns Inn is a traditional English pub and restaurant located on The Street in Lower Halstow, near Sittingbourne in Kent, England. The building dates to 1468 and has held an ale licence since 1764, making it one of the older licensed premises in the Swale area. It operates as an award-winning traditional-style pub with a separate dining area, an open fire, and a large beer garden with a streamside decking area at the rear. The kitchen serves fine restaurant food alongside quality pub food, with an ever-changing seasonal menu built around local produce. The pub is a popular stop for ramblers and dog walkers, sitting close to the Saxon Shore Way and surrounded by public footpaths. It also hosts an annual Summer Kentish Beer & Cider Festival in its garden. Local folklore about ghostly activity and secret tunnels adds to its character. The Three Tuns Inn is an independent, privately run establishment rather than part of a large pub chain.
