THE COMPASSES INN
Hidden above the downs between Canterbury and
Ashford, the Compasses is a great ?nd, whether you
are looking for a pit stop whilst cycling or walking
through, a relaxed meal or a ?ne Kentish ale.
Husband and wife team Robert and Donna Taylor
haven’t been at the Compasses for very long, but they
obviously have a great love for what they do, and this
re?ects in the appearance of the pub itself and the care
and attention to every detail inside.
The pair have a wealth of knowledge between them
having worked in some of the best restaurants and
hotels in London and Australia.
Robert says he feels lucky to own such a gorgeous
pub in a beautiful part of the county. “We are
surrounded by game estates, rivers for ?shing,
amazing farmlands with local producers and not to
forget the stunning Kent coast line.”
Whilst visiting the Compasses, take the opportunity to
explore the local area, with some of the top ranked
walks in the country. Park your car, set off on foot or
cycle, and return for a well-earned drink and
something to eat.
The Compasses is very much family and pet friendly,
with a large garden which is fully enclosed, complete
with climbing frames, and even horse parking.
The compasses is the perfect setting for any occasion
whether its sitting in the beer garden listening to live
music or a cosy supper in front of one of the many log
?res, you can always be sure of a warm country
welcome.
With meat coming from as little as 1/4 of a mile down
the road and vegetables, herbs and fruit used from
their very own garden they really have grasped the
concept of fresh local produce which is very often used
too freely these days,

Donna describes the Compasses as a muddy wellies
and ?ne food kind of place adding that “we have not
lost sight of what the pub is about and although it is a
fantastic ale house, we take great pride in our food
offering, what we feel is good honest modern English
pub food, we seek to carefully balance the two.”
