<p>Looking for a family friendly, cosy country pub with a delicious Michelin star menu to boot? May we introduce The Bridge Arms (recently transformed by the duo behind the Fordwich Arms – Dan and Natasha Smith).

For chilly days hunker down in The Grade II listed beamed building with roaring fires or enjoy warmer summer days in the outside bar, garden and a good playground to match. </p>
