Property details
Located in East Kent on the edge of the North Downs, the hamlet of Chillenden lies midway between the historic Canterbury city centre and the busy gateway port of Dover.
The Griffins Head plays an important part in the day-to-day life of the Chillenden community, it has a very strong following of loyal locals that pop by regularly, together with local farmers and visitors from the many surrounding villages. It also benefits from transient trade, with many walkers and cyclists exploring the local countryside and looking for a coffee and cake or a bite to eat. Seasonal and family events are always a hit locally, ladies’ days, live rugby, and a Vintage Car meet-up on the first Sunday of every month are well attended and the Griffins Head is always the go-to spot for private parties and dining events in the area.
