About

Nestled on the picturesque Bearsted Green in Kent, The Oak on the Green is a charming Shepherd Neame pub that has become a cornerstone of the local community for decades. With a casual, welcoming atmosphere, it offers generous portions of classic British pub fare — from hand‑made burgers and 28‑35‑day dry‑aged steaks to trawler‑fresh seafood, nimble vegetarian options, and a children’s menu that keeps the little ones happy. The kitchen proudly sources local ingredients and pairs dishes with an impressive selection of ales, lagers and wines crafted by Shepherd Neame’s own brewers, ensuring a flavourful experience every time. The pub’s open‑air and indoor seating at the heart of Bearsted’s historic village green appeals to both locals and visitors eager for a taste of authentic country hospitality. Live music nights run regularly, creating a lively soundtrack for a pint or a nightcap, while pet‑friendly policy means you can bring your four‑legged friends along. Seasonal events — including a festive Christmas party and anniversary celebrations — keep the schedule dynamic all year round. Beyond the food and drink, staff friendliness shines through their birthday club, which offers a free meal on your special day, as well as regular updates through their newsletter and social media. Whether you’re a casual traveler looking for a cozy evening out or a Londoner wanting a brief escape to the countryside, The Oak on the Green delivers a comforting blend of good food, great ales, and a warm community spirit.
