Joe and Jane both love spending time in Italy, and this too will be reflected in the menu.

Joe said: 'It might sound odd, but in a way Wye reminds us of Tuscany. So we're taking inspiration from Italian food. We have excellent charcuterie, both local and Italian, and locally caught fish will also feature. The menu will be a mix of all the pub food we've missed during lockdown, with a twist, and we also want to hint at all the foreign holidays we haven't been able to go on. It will be honest and authentic food.'

Situated in the pretty village of Wye, on the edge of the Kent downs, the New Flying Horse can trace its history back to the 16th century. It is famous for its spectacular garden area, part of which is a Chelsea Pensioner themed creation designed by Julian Dowle. It won a gold medal at the Chelsea Flower Show in 2005 before being transported to Wye.

Accommodation is also offered in nine stylish en-suite bedrooms, some in the pub's 17th century posting house and others in the converted coach house. They have been carefully refurbished to retain the original character and charm of the buildings while offering the latest facilities.

The New Flying Horse is central to village life in Wye but is also popular with both visitors from further afield and cyclists.

The New Flying Horse is a village pub,' said Jane, 'so our first priority is to cater for the people of Wye, while also working to ensure that it is a popular destination for customers from across Kent and farther afield. After such a challenging year, we are really enjoying this exciting new opportunity.'
